Press Conference: OXFAM Pakistan Flood Survivors' Survey   Who:          Oxfam Pakistan Flood Survivors' Survey   Where:      Serena Hotel (Islamabad), Faisalabad Hall   When:        Wednesday, 06 April 2011, 14:30 (2:30 pm)             (please arrive early for security checks and bring press credentials) Oxfam Pakistan Flood Survivors' Survey A survey commissioned by Oxfam and carried out by Pakistani NGO Free and Fair Election Network (FAFEN) reveals that eight months after the floods began, survivors are struggling with huge challenges in rebuilding broken lives and communities. Neva Khan, Country Director of Oxfam in Pakistan and Fatima Naqvi, programme manager of the Land Rights and Economic Opportunities department, will be sharing the findings of the nationwide flood survivors' survey at press conference at 1430 on Wednesday, April 6, 2011 at the Serena Hotel, Faisalabad Hall. As Pakistan begins the process of reconstruction following the floods, Oxfam is releasing the survey's results to put the voice of 18 million flood survivors at the centre of national and international efforts to rebuild the country. The survey polled over 2,000 people in Pakistan's most seriously flood-hit areas. Survivors were asked about their needs and what they thought Pakistan needed to prioritise as the country rebuilds. They were also asked to rate the effectiveness of the response of NGOs, the government as well as international donors. The survey aims to provide an insight into the needs of the survivors so that the government of Pakistan and the international community can better tailor their early recovery and reconstruction plans and activities to meet these needs. Attendees are requested to arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled start of the press conference in order to allow time for registration and security procedures.
