PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Context
Pakistan has been one of the world's largest host countries for over four decades. Of the 2.7 million registered refugees from Afghanistan worldwide, around 1.3 million are in Pakistan, the majority (56 percent) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Of these, 78 percent live in urban or semi-urban areas alongside the host Pakistani community.
In the areas of health and education, public infrastructure in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provides limited access to quality services for the most vulnerable people. These groups include Afghan refugees and some members of the host communities, especially women, children, youth and people with disabilities. Similarly, traditional societal norms in the region allow only limited economic participation of women and girls. This is true for the host Pakistani communities but even more so for refugees from Afghanistan.
Objective
Areas in Pakistan that host refugees have improved access to health and education services.
Approach
To improve access to public services for particularly vulnerable groups, the project will implement the following measures
Education

Health
Support participatory planning processes for inclusive area planning in the health sector at district level
