Resumen
Descripción
From June to August 2022, heavy
monsoon rains caused severe flooding in nearly one-third of
Pakistan. By February 2023, flood waters have receded in
most areas, allowing for rebuilding to begin after
widespread losses. Using a new round of household phone
survey data, this note documents the progress and pain
points in rebuilding human capital in Pakistan after the
floods, building upon the findings from the first-round
survey. Both rounds of the survey focus on the impacts of
the floods on children and families. Specifically, this note
focuses on groups who may be left behind as others recover.
The note also examines indicators of recovery of particular
relevance to children. Findings suggest that policymakers
could ensure relief reaches the areas hardest hit by
flooding and target at-risk groups in specific intervention areas.
