The US-Pakistan Green Alliance has the US on its board to assist Pakistan’s flood-affected areas and strive to improve flood recovery and resilience.

The US-Pakistan Green Alliance serves as a framework for tackling common problems with regard to water, energy, agriculture, and other environmental concerns. It also works to improve climate resilience and promote inclusive economic growth.

Elizabeth Horst, principal deputy assistant secretary for South and Central Asia, travelled to Islamabad on December 8 and 9 to speak with government representatives about US assistance for Pakistan’s flood recovery.

Among other things, she discussed strategies to stop gender-based violence with Pakistan’s civil society members.

This year, the United States has contributed more than $97 million to help Pakistan with flood relief, food security, and disaster preparedness.

Her conversations emphasized the US government’s dedication to collaborating with Pakistan to aid in flood recovery efforts, increase access to renewable energy, combat climate change, and overcome obstacles to boosting trade and investment between nations.

Horst also held a discussion with civil society leaders with expertise in humanitarian relief, women’s rights, children’s rights, and minority rights, stressing the US’ position that humanitarian relief and flood recovery should be inclusive.

“For 75 years, the United States has valued its long-standing bilateral partnership with Pakistan,” she said. “As Pakistan recovers from the floods, our support for affected communities will remain steadfast”.
