1  Background

The Sindh People Housing for Flood Affectees is supporting the preparation of a Climate Resilient Settlement Development Plan for Village Haji Ibrahim, an informal waste-picker settlement located next to the Jam Chakro landfill in Karachi. SPHF will serve as the executing agency, while Catholic Relief Services (CRS) will provide technical and implementation support, including support for recruitment and management of the project team. The planning process will combine household, spatial, infrastructure, environmental, climate, public-health, occupational-safety, livelihood and community evidence to develop practical options for in-situ settlement upgrading, with partial re-blocking considered only where technically necessary and socially acceptable. The Data Enumerator will collect complete, accurate and verifiable household, commercial and other approved field data through designated digital tools. The information will support spatial analysis, infrastructure planning, safeguards screening, climate-risk assessment and preparation of the final settlement development plan.
