Answer:
Sovereignty rhetoric. A loss of sovereignty (or perception of it) will drive humanitarian action in Pakistan in the coming months. With controversy generated by the CIAs fake vaccination scheme attempting to identify Osama Bin Laden in 2011, the governments approach to NGOs will continue to be guarded and driven by paranoia that some agency staff are foreign intelligence agents. As one INGO head noted, there is a perception of foreign-linked humanitarian action being perceived as a threat to security, sovereignty and culture. This conversation will linger through 2013 as the Abbottabad Commission will pass to the incoming government.
Bureaucratic control. The desire for sovereignty translates into limited support for NGO engagement in policy discussions, and the handcuffing of operations by the federal government. Strict bureaucratic procedures delay programme activity and restrict or deny staff entry into, and movement within, the country. If the new government brings procedural changes agencies will have to go through the motions of understanding new systems, however frustrating that may be. Some fear that if this is not obeyed by all agencies, tensions with the government and restrictions imposed could further intensify, contracting the opportunities to deliver even more.
Overlooking disasters. Regardless of the election outcome, in the absolute likelihood of an emergency the government may postpone or overlook recognising a state of emergency and approving international aid (as after the 2011 and 2012 floods). As one INGO head suggests, it is the governments conviction that they must look good in the eyes of the world, [but] as a result [are] ignoring the plight of the millions.
Conflict and insecurity. Security concerns and violence are endemic throughout Pakistan. With a sharp spike in attacks on polio workers, political turbulence, rising sectarian attacks and International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) troops leaving Afghanistan, many worry that insecurity will worsen over the year. Humanitarian agencies in Pakistan have to manage the safe provision of aid with severely restricted access, due to bureaucratic constraints and insecurity.
Transfer of risk. Many INGOs work with national partners who have better access to restricted areas. Some see this as an opportunity for national civil society to grow, but also question the risk transfer onto partners and how prepared national NGOs are to deliver effectively; they arent mature enough to overcome humanitarian principles and operate like that argues one institutional donor head, highlighting a further constraint to humanitarian operations.
Dwindling funds. The promised volatility, insecurity and bureaucratic constraints of an election year may very possibly lead to a decline in donors confidence that agencies will be able to deliver quality work. Diminishing funds are already squeezing aid opportunities.
