Project Description:

Focus Humanitarian Assistance (FOCUS) is an international group of agencies established in Europe, North America, and South Asia to complement the provision of emergency relief, principally in the developing world. It helps people in need reduce their dependence on humanitarian aid and facilitates their transition to sustainable self-reliant, long-term development. FOCUS is affiliated with the Aga Khan Development Network, a group of institutions working to improve opportunities and living conditions, for people of all faiths and origins, in specific regions of the developing world.

Following many previous successful initiatives to assist people struck by natural and man-made disasters in South and Central Asia, FOCUS awarded Protek Yapi a contract to conduct the structural assessment and retrofitting design of six AKDN/AKHS facilities including clinics and hospitals in Kabul, Baghlan, and Badakhshan Province. The study entailed conducting detailed seismic vulnerability assessments and retrofitting designs including non-structural elements.
