Abstract
The aim of the paper is to evaluate the role of SRSP in the rehabilitation of extremely
vulnerable individuals (EVIs) in Garlat and Satbani union councils of District Mansehra.
The data were collected using a pretested interview schedule from randomly selected
respondents in October-December, 2010. More than half (54%) of the EVIs were from
Satbani and 46% from Garlat. The Chi-square tests showed no significance difference
between the numbers of EVIs in the two union councils. The SRSP has been most
actively involved in rehabilitation process. About one-third of the respondents reported
that SRSP had provided a combination of services/help including training, medical aid
and treatment and tents for living. The t-test results showed that the average incomes
of sample households were significantly higher after they received cash income from
NGOs, especially the SRSP. The study concluded that although various NGOs were
involved in the rehabilitation activities in the study area, SRSP was the one which
played a pivotal role in helping EVIs and households which were badly affected by the
2005 earthquake. The study recommended that various NGOs should promote
coordination among themselves so that in case of any other disasters in futures the
EVIs could be assisted on a larger scale. The study also recommended that people of
the area be imparted technical trainings in coping with disaster and in their own
rehabilitation after natural calamities and disasters.
