| Name | Support to the use of Sphere in the South Asia Earthquake Response, Progress Report, Jan.-Dec. 2007 |
| Description | Church world Service-Pakistan/Afghanistan (CWS-P/A), with technical support from Sphere Project and with financial support from Dan Church Aid (DCA), Christian Aid (CA-UK) and Caritas Australia (CA), has been hosting Sphere Project since 2005 earthquake in Pakistan. During this period, governmental, non-governmental agencies and affected communities were provided with the knowledge, techniques, and tools required to understand and apply the Sphere humanitarian charter, minimum standards, key indicators and quality and accountability principles in their response and preparedness initiatives.
During this process from rehabilitation to development of 2005 earthquake, Pakistan faced another worst disaster of floods in 2007. During and after this crisis, CWS-P/A and the Sphere Focal Point continue to emphasise the importance and effectiveness of the Sphere Standards. Simultaneously, the strength of the Sphere Standards with regard to disaster preparedness and development is being regularly incorporated in humanitarian response to these crises.
