ISLAMABAD: The International Labour Organisation (ILO) has started helping the flood-affected communities in Pakistan in quickly restarting livelihoods and employment through immediate short-term employment recovery programmes.
The programme titled ‘Cash for work for flood affected people’ has been launched in Nowshera and Peshawar in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The project hopes to provide quick employment opportunities in exchange of daily wages to floods-affected people.
A spokesman for ILO says the project has been started in order to arrange quick income for flood affected people so that they can overcome their mental shock and trauma.
“This project will organise affected youth to clean and fumigate the camps, and also establish sanitation facilities in the camps during relief period. In the later stage of reconstruction youth will be organised to clear debris from market places, roads and local infrastructure,” he said. Internews
