ISLAMABAD: Negotiations between the government and the World Bank for launching an `early recovery package’ for temporary displaced persons (TDPs) of Fata have been concluded.
Under the package, a one-time grant of $350 per family and a livelihood support grant of $160 per family in four monthly instalments will be provided to about 120,000 families displaced by militancy.
All registered displaced families from the five tribal regions concerned will be eligible for the grants. The grant is expected to help them cover initial expenses on resuming livelihood activities.
For families that choose to voluntarily return to Fata, the grant will be delivered at the `one-stop-shop’.
