Korea International Co-operation Agency (KOICA) - development assistance agency of the Republic of Korea - in collaboration with UN-Habitat is facilitating the return of IDP's through the rehabilitation of infrastructures and communities.
The project aims to help IDPs in the Khyber Pukhtunkhwa and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in partnership with the Government of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa, FATA Secretariat, PaRRSA, local governments, local NGO's and CBOs, said a press release issued here on Wednesday.
The floods of 2010 have worsened the situation of IDPs in Pakistan as 6.2 million people have been displaced.

The project will be addressing basic needs of the affectees such as water, access roads, schools, community infrastructure.
