APPEAR
On October 8th 2005, a devastating earthquake hit Pakistan’s Northern Provinces of NWFP and AJK and left the region in complete disarray. Nearly three years later, there remains little data available on the present state of villages, households, and schools in the area. The objective of the Assessment of Pakistan Post-Earthquake Activities for Relief and Rehabilitation (APPEAR) project is to complete a series of surveys that will help to characterize the region’s current condition. The APPEAR project is comprised of three major parts: a census, a household survey, and a school survey of 150 villages in the districts of Abbottabad, Muzaffarabad, Bagh, and Mansehra.
We are currently administering the census to villages in the field. The data from this questionnaire will be available by September 15th, 2008 for analysis and discussion. Survey teams will then administer the household questionnaire and the school questionnaire and complete the fieldwork by June 15th, 2009.
