Hallelujah! Local NGOs allowed to help flood-hit families! After decimating the development sector & civil society organizations through a witch hunt, reregistration, EAD quagmire, suddenly when faced with the calamity they realize their importance! dawn.com/news/1704798
These organizations lost their donor connections, donors turned away from Pakistan, rather than jump through the bureaucratic hoops, & now the organizations with the human resource, capacity, experience of working in such disasters have no resources. Are now working in isolation
In 2010, there was district govt. which held DCC where all actors were present; local politicians, military focal persons, line dept. reps. INGOs, NGOs, CSOs, even LSOs & shared locations & interventions to avoid duplication. @UNOCHA was the overarching umbrella to coordinate
The absence of a proactive @pdmasindhpk & #DDMA was felt. But #18thAmendment was new. Now, there is no excuse for not having local bodies or fully functional #DDMAs. They are they only ones to ensure onground operations with the cooperation of the NGOs now being 'allowed' to work
