17 F I N A N C I N G 1 7 . 4 . 5 Community Contributions Community contributions towards environmental improvement will be recognized and encouraged. No reasonable basis exists to quantify this input, but the experience of participatory development in the NWFP indicates that, on average, communities contribute 20% of project costs, often ‘in kind’. Assuming a total investment of Rs. 11.240 billion through other sources mentioned above, the communities contribution will be about Rs. 2.248 million. 1 7 . 4 . 6 S u m m a ry of Resource Av a i l a b i l i t y Even if all the above resources—Rs. 13.488 billion— are mobilized, there would be a resource gap of Rs. 1.299 billion for SPCS implementation during 1995- 98. This gap can be filled by tapping more into the resources of donors, the private sector, and the communities. Alternatively, some of the short-term recommendations may have to be delayed beyond 1998. Since the outline action plan assigns priorities to different recommendations, deciding which to hold off on will not be difficult. 1 7 . 5 RECURRENT COST LIABILITY The SPCS recommendations are categorized into short-term (1995-98) as well as long-term, which would be implemented beyond 1998. By the nature of action required, the SPCS recommendations are of two types: those concerning institutional reform and capacity development, and those dealing with conservation and development activities in the field. Actions with respect to both types will be initiated under the development budget. The field activities involving the development of projects and donor resource mobilization take two to three years to begin. Institutional reform and capacity building also will be spread over the next three years. Therefore, the SPCS activities undertaken during 1995-98 are unlikely to have substantial implications for the recurrent budget in the short- 204 SARHAD PROVINCIAL CONSERVATION STRATEGY term. Their long-term effect on the recurrent budget will be assessed towards the beginning of 1998, when the SPCS will be reviewed and perhaps revised as a part of the process of developing the Ninth Five-Year Plan. However, some of the activities undertaken since the commencement of the NWFP’s environmental programme in 1992 will have to be included in the recurrent budget. The most important of these are continuation and strengthening of the Environment Section, strengthening of the NWFP EPA and enabling it to have a regional presence in the province, provision of annual grants to the Fund for Sustainable Development, and internalization of focal points and round tables in key sectors of the environment. The cost of the focal points and round tables is already covered by the project for SPCS Transition to Implementation for the first two years, but the cost for the third year would have to be transferred to the recurrent budget. Accordingly, the annual re-current cost liability of SPCS implementation for the first two years of the short-term period is assessed as Rs. 35 million; for the third year, it is estimated to be Rs. 40 million (see Table 17.5). 1 7 . 6 PRIORITY ACTION PLAN The detailed work plans for the implementation of the SPCS will be developed by the respective sectors. The main SPCS, however, must set the strategic direction of the work to be undertaken by those involved in its implementation. The call for priority setting was made both by the general public and by decision makers during public consultations on the SPCS and during the NWFP Secretaries Committee meeting in August 1995. Consequently, an action plan was developed based on input from the public consultation and subsequent discussion in the different departments of the Government. This outline plan was presented to the Steering Committee in August 1995 and was approved with minor changes. Changes following the Steering Committee meeting have been incorporated in the plan that follows (See Table 17.6). The SPCS document sets the general direction for sustainable development in the NWFP. It is not

Instead, it subsumes those sectoral programmes such as the SAP, and others that address the fundamental causes of environmental impoverishment. Consequently, while they carry several new recommendations with far-reaching impacts, both the SPCS and the action plan are built on the many existing new initiatives. The purpose is to consolidate the present achievements and make future developments more sustainable. The arrangement of major themes follows the relative priorities assigned to them by the people of the NWFP. For example, governance and capacity building is a first major priority, while cultural heritage is a lower priority. This does not mean that the cultural heritage component will be implemented only after all others have been implemented. In fact, simultaneous action in all the component strategies is necessary. However, it does mean that if there were only one new rupee available for the SPCS, it would be invested in governance and capacity building before anything else. By the same measure, the order of the commitments in the component strategies indicates the relative priority proposed for the different components in the respective themes. The trade-offs in different priorities are manifested in the allocation of local resources proposed for different commitments. The 1 7 . 5 actions that must be undertaken, regardless of the availability of donor support, have been allocated relatively more local funds (especially in the shortterm) than those whose implementation depends on and can await donor support. The local and donor resources already available, or more likely to be available, have been underlined. The assessment of the available resources is based on the demonstrated or indicated interest of the Government and the donors in certain programmes. The resource requirements are largely indicative. The cost of the commitments that have already been conceptualized or had projects developed on them are relatively more accurate; these have been boxed. The prioritization of different themes is based on input from the public consultation process. Consideration has also been given to the international obligations of Pakistan under different treaties and conventions. Institutions indicated in the implementation responsibility column would in fact be the lead institutions. They should not be regarded as the sole institution responsible for implementation. Implementation of many commitments would require a multi-disciplinary approach; in some, involvement of the private sector will be crucial, and almost all would entail partnerships with NGOs and c o m m u n i t i e s .
