The United States of America has said that it would provide an additional $100 million in funding for Pakistan’s recovery from devastating floods last year, a senior official from the U.S. development agency USAID announced on Monday in Geneva, Switzerland.

“I am delighted to announce that the United States is making an additional 100-million-dollar commitment to Pakistan to help it recover from the devastating 2022 monster monsoon floods,” USAID Deputy Administrator Isobel Coleman told reporters on the sidelines of a major conference in Geneva.

According to a statement published on the USAID website, the new fund is a sign that the US is committed to Pakistan and its people and addressing the climate crisis in the country.

Last year, the US donated 97 million dollars to Pakistan as fund relief, disaster resilience and food security assistance while another 4.8 million dollars was donated by the US International Development Finance Corporation, bringing the total commitment from the US to more than 200 million dollars.

This new pledge from the USAID includes both new and redirected funding with 97.3 million dollars going into needed support in agriculture and food security, health, economic growth, education, protection and governance.

The funding also includes 20.7 million dollars in State Department resources for humanitarian assistance to flood-affected victims Afghan refugees and host communities in Pakistan and assistance that will restore damaged justice sector infrastructure including courthouses, police stations, and training facilities.
