Karachi
31st
January 2009
The
CapNet Stakeholder Workshop for
Administration of 18 Towns of Karachi (31st January
2009) was held to familiarize the Town
Municipal Officers and the Chief and Executive Engineers in Water
and Sewerage in 18 Towns of Karachi, with the concept of IWRM and
their role and responsibility in promoting water conservation.
They were presented with the model of Area Water Partnership (AWP)
developed by KWP in
Gulshan-e-Iqbal
Town
and they were urged to set up similar AWPs in their own towns.
This
training opened the way for replicating the GIT AWP model in the
remaining 17 Towns of
Karachi
, of which
Landhi
Town
will be the next.
The Local Government Department, Government of Sindh, agreed to
sign an MoU with Hisaar Foundation for facilitating this process.
The
most outstanding general outcome has been the buy-in by government
at levels from local Union Councils, through Town and City
government, right up to Provincial government, in one of four
provinces in
Pakistan
, for building partnerships through IWRM processes.
