16 1 6 . 5 . 2 I N S T I T U T I O N A L P R O C E S S E S DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT BOX ADVISORY COMMITTEES The Advisory Committee in each District consists of: F u t u re Mechanisms The composition and functions of the different committees need to be rationalized to remove duplication and to provide clear mandates. Since the major advisory role has now been assigned to the round tables, the institutional mechanisms inside the Government should predominantly focus on policy development and overseeing implementation of the SPCS commitments. The approval of individual projects and programmes, so long as they are consistent with the approved policy, will be left to the respective sectors and departments according to the existing mandates. Consequently, existing environmental committees will need to be amalgamated as described here. Provincial Environment Protection Council The Provincial Environment Protection Council will be headed by Chief Minister of the NWFP. (The composition of the Council is given in Box 16.6.) The Chairman may co-opt other ministers or persons from the general public to be members of the Council. A focal point for the Council shall be set up in the Chief Minister’s Secretariat. It will not only provide necessary secretarial support to the council, but will also ensure that the council remains active. The TOR for the new Council will be to: ■ frame environmental policies and monitor i m p l e m e n t a t i o n ; ■ oversee the SPCS development, approve the SPCS recommendations, and review their i m p l e m e n t a t i o n ; 192 SARHAD PROVINCIAL CONSERVATION STRATEGY 1 6 . 5 ■ all the members of the Provincial Assembly from the district concerned; ■ other elected representative, as the Government may specify, taken on as co-opted members; and ■ such heads of attached departments at the district level as may be co-opted by the Committee for their expert opinion. The DDACs make basic decisions about development priorities in the districts.

Steering Committee The Steering Committee for the SPCS will continue, although it will be reconstituted, and will also act as an Executive Committee for the Provincial Environment Protection Council for the NWFP. The PE&D
Environment Section will work as a focal point and secretariat for the Steering Committee. The revised composition of the Steering Committee will be as indi- REVISED COMPOSITION OF BOX THE SPCS STEERING COMMITTEE 1 6 . 7 Chairman Chief Secretary Vice-Chairman Additional Chief Secretary Members NCS Unit, Environment Division, Government of Pakistan Secretary, Finance Department Secretary, Agriculture Department Secretary, Forest , Fisheries and Wildlife Department Secretary, Communication & Works Department Secretary, Local Government & Rural Development Department Secretary, Industries Department Secretary, Population Welfare Department Secretary, Public Health Engineering Department Secretary, Irrigation Department Secretary, Physical Planning & Housing Department Secretary, Culture & Tourism Department Director-General, PCSIR, Peshawar Director-General, Pakistan Forest Institute Representative of Federal Agencies in NWFP (WAPDA, PTC, Sui Northern, Military Lands and Cantonments) Sarhad Chamber of Commerce and Industry Representative Sarhad Chamber of Agriculture Representative Women’s Representative Four NGO Representatives Media Representative Country Representative, IUCN Pakistan Mr. A.

Representatives of different groups will be nominated by their respective organizations and associations. The Committee may co-opt any other person as a member, at the discretion of its c h a i r m a n . The TOR of the SPCS Steering Committee will be to: ■ guide SPCS development and monitor implementation; ■ implement and monitor implementation of the policies and decisions of the Provincial Environment Protection Council; ■ raise finances and decide resource allocation for the SPCS implementation consistent with the priorities established by the Council; ■ ensure complementarity between the SAP and the SPCS in accordance with the overall policy laid down by the Council; ■ work as an Executive Committee of the Provincial Environment Protection Council; and ■ carry out any other task delegated to it by the Council. Local Coordination To complement the coordination mechanism at the provincial level, similar arrangements must exist at the district and local level to ensure effective implementation of the SPCS in the field. To this end, it is important that elected local Government institutions be revived as soon as possible, and that the DDACS and Social Action Boards receive greater grassroots inputs by giving suitable representation to NGOs. In addition, it would be of value to assess the feasibility of setting up Environmental Coordination Committees at the district level. These could be set up under the chairmanship of Deputy Commissioners. They would consist of stakeholders and be similar to round tables set up at the provincial level. In the NGO component of the SPCS, establishment of NGO networks at the district level is envisaged. These networks could support the operation of the local committees. 1 6 . 6 I N S T I T U T I O N A L P R O C E S S E S 16 P R I VATE-SECTOR INVOLV E M E N T Harnessing the private sector’s support for SPCS implementation and getting companies to comply with SARHAD PROVINCIAL CONSERVATION STRATEGY 193
