Floods take more than homes — they take livelihoods, stability, and hope. In 2025, we worked with communities to rebuild all three. 📖 Read more about it in our Annual Report 2025: go.undp.org/TE8 #BuildForwardBetter #UNDPinPakistan #LeaveNoOneBehind

#UNDPinPakistan, through the RESTORE Project funded by @CanHCPakistan via Global Affairs Canada, supported the @SindhGovt1’s Annual School Enrollment Drive across Dadu, Larkana, and Kambar Shahdadkot, reaching nearly 700 people. The campaign mobilized communities to encourage children, especially girls, to enroll in and stay in school. Through the project, UNDP is also supporting the rehabilitation of 40 flood-affected schools, helping create safer, more inclusive, and resilient learning environments while raising awareness on the importance of education for every child. #BackToSchool #GirlsEducation #BuildForwardBetter

When floods strike, girls’ education is often among the hardest hit. In Sindh 🇵🇰, #UNDPinPakistan and @CanHCPakistan 🇨🇦 are supporting climate-resilient recovery through the RESTORE Project. Across three districts, UNDP engineering teams are leading technical monitoring and quality assurance to help rehabilitate 40 flood-damaged schools — creating safer, more resilient, and inclusive learning spaces for more than 10,000 girls and 15,000 students in total. This is what climate-resilient recovery looks like. #BuildForwardBetter #EducationForAll #GenderEquality @HCCanPakistan

UNDP’s Flood Recovery Programme (FRP) is supporting recovery across Pakistan. In Balochistan, communities are rebuilding lives and strengthening resilience after the 2022 floods. In partnership with @dpr_gob, #UNDPinPakistan is advancing recovery through: 🇨🇳 With China, over 25,000 people have restored livelihoods in Jaffarabad and Kachhi — with support set to reach 18,000 more. 🇩🇪 With @KfW_Islamabad, 700 climate-resilient homes in Hanna Urak, Quetta are benefiting around 20,000 people. This week’s mission to Quetta reaffirmed our strong partnership and shared commitment to #BuildForwardBetter.

A crisis should not interrupt a girl’s right to learn. Limited access to safe hygiene facilities and essential supplies keeps many girls out of school, especially in the aftermath of disasters such as the 2022 floods. With support from @CanHCPakistan 🇨🇦 and in partnership with @SindhGovt1, #UNDPinPakistan has reached 10,000 girls across three districts of Sindh through Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) awareness sessions, MHM kits, and improved girl-friendly school sanitation — driving behaviour change as part of its flood recovery efforts. Because when the right support is in place, girls stay in school and move forward with confidence. #FloodRecoveryProgramme #BuildForwardBetter #EducationForAll

Rebuilding safer, climate-resilient homes in Balochistan 🏡🌱 In Hanna–Urak, Quetta, 118 climate-resilient homes are being handed over to families whose houses were destroyed by the devastating 2022 floods — restoring safety, dignity and hope. Under the Flood Reconstruction and Coordination Programme, #UNDPinPakistan is supporting the construction of 700 climate-resilient homes across Balochistan, designed to withstand future climate shocks — with 40 homes already completed and handed over last year. With support from the Government of Germany through @KfW_Islamabad, and in partnership with @dpr_gob, communities are rebuilding stronger and more resilient.

Climate-induced floods can disrupt education — damaging schools and making it harder for children, especially girls, to access safe learning spaces. 📚 #UNDPinPakistan and @CanadaDev/@CanHCPakistan are rehabilitating 40 schools in three districts of Sindh affected by the 2022 floods, improving infrastructure and WASH facilities to help nearly 15,000 students — including 10,000 girls — return to safer classrooms. A joint mission recently visited schools in Larkana to kick off rehabilitation works and engage with communities. Together, we are helping restore safe learning spaces and ensuring girls can continue their education after the floods. 💛 #RestoringGirlsEducation #FloodRecoveryProgramme #BuildForwardBetter

Faiz Bibi’s home and livelihood were swept away in the 2022 floods, and she is now rebuilding her life. #UNDPinPakistan, with support from the Government of China 🇨🇳 through the Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund @cidcaofficial and in partnership with @dpr_gob, is helping women like Faiz restore their lives and livelihoods. Through gardening and embroidery kits, business training, and stronger market linkages, the initiative restored livelihoods for 25,331 people in Phase I and is now scaling up in Phase II to support another 18,000 people across six additional districts, with women making up half of the beneficiaries. 🌱 This International #WomensDay, we honor women like Faiz, whose courage turns hardship into hope. ✨ #BuildForwardBetter #FloodRecoveryProgramme @UNDPChina @CathayPak @IslamicReliefPK

As climate disasters worsen, women and girls bear the heaviest toll — their education disrupted, opportunities limited, and potential held back. This International Women’s Day, #UNDPinPakistan reaffirms its commitment to empowering women and girls through resilient, inclusive recovery. With support from the Government of Canada through Global Affairs Canada, UNDP’s #FloodRecoveryProgramme is rehabilitating 40 schools damaged by the 2022 floods across three districts of Sindh — restoring safe, inclusive, and climate-resilient learning spaces for nearly 15,000 students, including 10,000 girls. 📚 Because when girls can return to safe classrooms, communities recover stronger. #BuildForwardBetter #IWD2026 #GiveToGain

Strengthening preparedness through partnership 🤝 The Recovery and Reconstruction Unit of @PlanComPakistan, together with #UNDPinPakistan, convened a Core Committee Meeting on the 2025 Floods Validation Exercise, bringing together key government and development partners — including EAD, @ndmapk, PDMAs, P&D Departments, @WBG_Pakistan, @PakistanADB and @EUPakistan — to review progress, advance data consolidation, capture lessons learned and align next steps for stronger recovery planning. With consultants now on board and coordination underway across Punjab and KP, the exercise — supported by UNDP as part of its broader #FloodRecoveryProgramme — is contributing to evidence-based recovery planning and more resilient outcomes. Preparedness today shapes resilience tomorrow. #UraanPakistan #DisasterRecovery #ResilientPakistan #BuildForwardBetter

Supporting farmers as they rebuild after the 2025 floods 🌱 Through the Resilient Recovery & Adaptation Programme (RRAP), #UNDPinPakistan provided over 2,000 agricultural toolkits to flood-affected families in Buner and Shangla — helping farmers return to their land, restore their livelihoods, and begin again after loss. Recovery is not just about rebuilding what was damaged, but about strengthening resilience for the future. UNDP remains committed to people-centred, climate-resilient recovery that helps communities #BuildForwardBetter.

When the floods swept through Buner, they took homes, harvests, and a sense of safety. But in the aftermath, resilience shines through. Families are rebuilding, communities are standing together, and hope is returning. This is what recovery looks like. #BuildForwardBetter #PakistanFloods2025

To support #EarlyRecovery efforts following Cyclone #Ditwah, @UNDP #SriLanka handed over 30 submersible water pumps and relevant equipment to the @dmc_lk to accelerate the cleaning of flood-affected wells and restore access to safe drinking water. This assistance will help prevent waterborne diseases and is considered a critical early recovery measure to restore safe water access and safeguard the health and well-being of affected families in selected districts. #UNDP remains committed to working closely with national partners to strengthen preparedness and resilience in communities across #lka 🇱🇰. #BuildForwardBetter @AzusaKubota @UNDPasiapac
