As part of its supplemental budget to provide life-saving relief to the flood victims, Japan on Wednesday announced its intention to grant Pakistan assistance worth $38.9 million.

Making the announcement, the Japanese Embassy said that the unprecedented levels of flooding have triggered a multi-dimensional humanitarian crisis, leaving the affected population with increased health risks and food insecurity, insecure livelihoods, and heightened vulnerabilities to gender-based violence.

“The Government of Japan will support the affected population in various social and economic dimensions in partnership with WHO, UNFPA, FAO, UNDP, UNICEF, WFP, UNWOMEN, UNHCR, and IPPF in Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and Punjab provinces, as well as the Capital Territory,” the embassy said.

“For the total grant assistance of USD34.2 million, the proposed areas of support include emergency medical assistance, food distribution, agriculture and livestock restoration, livelihood recreation, and gender-based violence risk mitigation and response. For the rapid rollout to vulnerable, these projects will commence in January 2023,” the embassy said.

In order to help Pakistan “Build Back Better,” the government of Japan will also offer assistance through JICA in the amount of $4.7 million for recovery from the floods in the areas of health, agriculture, education, women, and resilient disaster management.

Japan has already given a $7 million emergency grant in September 2022 to help with the effects of flash floods.
