1 The availability of funds from the Government of NWFP includes its likely contribution through the Annual Development Programme (ADP) as well as non-ADP
resources such as the Fund for Sustainable Development. This assessment does not include the contribution (about Rs. 2.248 billion or 20%) that the communities
might make towards this cost.
2 For the purpose of this table, the likely input from the Federal Government & private sector is included in ‘donor’ resources.

Fund for Sustainable Development
A Fund for Sustainable Development in the NWFP is
envisaged. This will be raised initially with seed
money from the Government of NWFP. The Federal
Government will also be asked to contribute. It will
be open to contributions by donors, drawing especially
on the mechanism of swapping debt for environmental
improvements.
Any revenues raised from environmental levies
under the polluter pay principle will also be channelled
into the fund. The compliance with National
Environmental Quality Standards has yet to begin, and
alternative technologies are only now being evaluated
to undertake cleanup programmes. Private-sector
investment in actual cleanup of their operations, when
it does begin, will be substantial but cannot be easily
quantified at this stage. Nonetheless, the sector is
expected to contribute to the fund, through environment
levies, an estimated annual amount of Rs. 20 million.
The fund will be administered by an autonomous
board, and will be used to finance NGO environmental
programmes as well as programmes they may
undertake in partnership with Government organizations.
An investment of Rs. 200 million is envisaged
through this fund during 1995-98. A total of Rs. 60
million would be contributed by the Government of
the NWFP. The remainder would come from donors
and the private sector.

Federal NGO Fund for Enviro n m e n t
1 7 . 4
This fund is designed for an annual allocation of Rs.
30 million. Due to the strength of the NGO sector in
the NWFP, compared with other provinces, NGOs in
the province have benefited more from it in the past. In
1993-94, of a total allocation of Rs. 12.65 million
from this fund, Rs. 5.10 million went to NGO activities
in the NWFP. With the new NGO support programme
under the SPCS, the NGO capacity to tap this fund
will be even better. An investment of Rs. 30 million
from this fund is expected over the next three years.
