Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation  in partnership with World Fod programme is proposing a 2nd phase in continuation of the Cash for Work DRR Project in Chail Valley, Swat District which was hard hit by devastating flood in 2010. The project helps to reduce the current food insecurity and increase the resilience against the natural disasters by involving the communities using the World Food programme modalities through Cash for Work  in the context of DRR. The project introduces innovative approaches e.g., well designed DRR structural and non-structural measures including bio-engineering that on the one hand helps in rehabilitating the communities livelihoods assets and on the other hand ensures to reduce risks of future flash floods in the target area on sustainable basis.
