The paper finds that the geopolitical significance of the region and geo-strategic vested interests of the regional and extra-regional powers have enticed and stimulated the conflict to be sharpened. The paper also addressed the question that why Armenian and Azeri regimes failed to design a bilateral mechanism that could resolve the conflict with collective efforts, deny the foreign intervention and encouraged bilateral economic and political cooperation. The paper is qualitative in nature which explored and investigated different historical events, facts and incidents of Nagorno-Karabakh in order to find out its regional geo- political impacts on the region at large. The paper also tried to find out a way-forward that could address the issue via political and diplomatic means.

The present environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) study of the Promoting Girls Education in Balochistan (PGEB) project has been carried out in compliance with the national environmental laws of Pakistan and the World Bank Operational Policies (OPs). The ESIA delineates the environmental and social issues emerging from the PGEB project, identifies the potentially adverse environmental and social impacts of the project activities, and suggests appropriate mitigation measures to offset or reduce these impacts. The report also suggests guidelines for environmental enhancement opportunities available during various phases of project implementation to maximize the benefit to environment. The mitigation measures and guidelines have been organized in the form of an environmental and social management plan (ESMP) to be implemented by the Project Management Unit (PMU) of the PGEB project for avoiding or mitigating the significant environment and social impacts. 2. The scope of the study entails assessment of the environmental and social impacts of PGEB project activities in the selected 12 districts of the province including Kachhi, Loralai, Jhal Magsi, Khuzdar, Kalat, Lasbela, Jaferabad, Kech, Panjgur, Kila Saifullah, Pishin and Naseerabad districts. The project area spreads over from north to south of the province covering almost 138,011 square kilometers (40%) area of the province. The environmental and social assessment covers physical, biological and social impacts of project activities during various implementation stages from site selection and designing to construction and operational phase of the school buildings.

  • Universal Service Fund Terms of Reference (Tor)
    Terms of Reference USF/RTeS/Consrv/2015/01 Universal Service Fund (A company setup under Section 42 of the Companies Ordinance 1984) Terms of Reference (ToR) For “Tender for hiring of the Professional Consulting Firms to Conduct Surveys for Telecommunication Coverage in the areas of upcoming USF Rural Telephony and e-Services Lots" Tender ID: USF/RTeS/Consrv/2015/01 Issued at Islamabad 13th November 2015 Terms of Reference USF/RTeS/Consrv/2015/01 1. Background USF has undertaken a large number of rural telephony and e-services (RTeS) projects across the country to provide telephony coverage to the previously unserved areas. Before launching RTeS projects, called Lots, USFCo first determines the existing telecom coverage status in specific areas. Any such area that is void of telephony service of any kind is considered as unserved area and hence becomes part of the project targets. USF further classifies these areas as either mandatory or optional for provision of coverage under USF project(s) primarily on the basis of the population in these areas. This tender has therefore been launched to determine the same for the upcoming USF RTeS Lots and USFCo is inviting proposals for services of professional Consulting Firms having relevant experience. This ToR specifies the objectives and the areas where these services are to be rendered. 2. OBJECTIVES: USF plans to appoint Consulting Firm(s) for the Lots stated in Annex-I of this ToR, to render professional services for surveying and determining unserved areas, with the following objectives: a. Visit to the Areas (Mauzas) listed in Annex-I of ToR and noting their GPS coordinates.
