In this connection, the Government of Punjab is going to implement a solid waste management initiative in certain group of TMAs. The Purpose of this initiative is to develop effective solid waste management plans for TMAs which have adequate machinery to a certain extent. In the regard, it has been decided to gather the information regarding resource availability with TMAs for conducting detailed situation analysis in solid waste management sector. 1.2 Background Solid Waste Management is a major environment and health hazard in the urban areas of Pakistan. Cities economies are fast growing, business activity and consumption patterns are driving up solid waste quantities. In Pakistan the collection of waste is sporadic and the disposal is poor. Despite the fact that solid waste services represent the single largest expenditure item, less than 50 percent of the waste generated is collected; and is mostly disposed at dumpsites or roadsides. Additionally, recent history has shown that lifestyle is changing at a brisk pace in the city. Due to changing lifestyles and consumption habits, SWM has been increasingly recognized as one of the major environmental issue in the city. The rapid growth of many small to medium sized towns in Punjab is causing unprecedented deterioration in the ecosystem. It is also placing enormous pressure on the capacity of these towns to provide adequate Solid Waste Management (SWM) services for their increasing populations. Chief Ministers Chief Minister's Special Initiative on Solid Waste Management is an initiative that seeks to address SWM challenges of these towns. The objectives of the exercise is to address SWM investments in these urban centers and build institutional and human resource capacities at local and regional levels for the sustainability of SWM services to reduce the environmental impact of urbanization. The initiative has a number of components including solid waste management (SWM) which seeks to minimize negative environmental and health impacts associated with poor solid waste management. The strategy is to provide 1) sustainable solid waste management system/interventions for each focal town, capable of collecting, transporting, treating and safely dispose what ultimately remains as waste 2) Capacity Building and Training component which seeks to ensure effective delivery of capital investment and long term Solid Waste Management- Ahmedpur East Page 1 1.3 Scope of the Assignment The overarching objective of the project is to assist the cities in implementing a solid waste management intervention by developing a coherent model ISWM system in a medium-sized city, but replicable in the other cities of Pakistan. Capacity building is a second key objective that will help the provincial and local governments to move away from the present ad-hoc investments to strategic and sustainable development of their SWM sector in Pakistan. The report includes a Situation analysis of the current situation of the city’s SWM system approaching it from technical, institutional, and finance perspectives, identifying economic, social, environmental, and governance issues and opportunities. The opportunity for private provision of SWM services is identified in the report and will be covered in more detail in the blueprint. A detailed gap analysis follows from the analysis. Finally, an action plan is suggested on two levels i.e. short term 6 months and for next one year. 1.4 Approach & Methodology PMDFC developed a proactive approach to develop the SWM Action Plans under the guidance of Local Government & Community Development Department (LG & CCD). Detailed brain storming sessions were held between them and consensus was evolved to undertake the rapid assessment of solid waste management of 63 TMAs. These 63 TMAs were selected from 105 TMAs excluding City District Government (CDGs). Those TMAs were selected that have adequate number of SWM collection machinery. A team of surveyors who were recently trained by Urban Unit, P&D Department were briefed by PMDFC officials and in data collection workshop held in Local Government Board office. In the field secondary agency data was collected from TMAs by the surveyor about TMA institution, human resource, machinery, SWM primary Collection, Secondary Collection, Final disposal sites, Financials, parking areas etc on prescribed data collection formats developed by PMDFC. Qualitative information along with pictures was also collected in detail about quality of SWM service provided at each solid waste step. In addition, citizen response and public perception about TMA service was also gauged. Field SWM data was collected by surveyors and sent back to PMDFC. After field data collection exercise data was cleaned arranged and analyzed by PMDFC. GIS maps were developed for analysis. Main approach was identifying existing capacity of cities, identifying gaps and develops recommendations. Following process was adopted in this assignment: Solid Waste Management- Ahmedpur East Page 2 Flow Chart Ahmadpur East– Situation Analysis (Solid Waste Management) Chief Minister’s Special Initiative on Solid Waste Management Consultations/discussions between LG&CDD and PMDFC Decision about devising Action Plans for SWM in cities Situation Analysis Development Training Analysis of of Data Data cleaning Development workshop of different of coverage Collection and analysis surveyors components Maps Formats SWM Situation Analysis Reports Way Forward: Implementation of recommendation devised on the basis of city Situation Analysis Solid Waste Management- Ahmedpur East Page 3 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT – GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF AHMEDPUR EAST 2.1 Location Its geographical coordinates are 29° 9' 0" North, 71° 16' 0" East. It is located at a distance of 54 Km towards south-west of Bahawalpur, 470 km from Lahore, 15 km from Uch Shareef, 60 km from Yazman, 320 km from Faisalabad and about 750 km from the national capital, Islamabad. 2.2 General Information Ahmedpur East was built by Ahmed Khan son of Qadir Din Khan and grandson of Piruj Khan, in 1748 A.D. The City was badly damaged by the heavy floods from Ghara River, during 1758 A.D. A new City on a mound half a mile to the South of previous site was selected for the present City. The present Muhalla Ahmed Ketra and Muhalla Khatik lie on the old bed of Ahmed Wah excavated by Ahmed Khan. Kutub Wah excavated by Kutub Khan, Son of Ahmed Khan. The other old remnants are Wahi Qadir Dinna and Mohabbat Bazar built by Qadir Khan and Mohabbat Khan, sons of Ahmed Khan. Later on Mohabbat Khan married his daughter to Nawab Bahawal Khan and conferred Ahmedpur East along with Kutub Wah in her dower. The other part of Ahmedpur East is ‘Dera Nawab’ located 3 Km towards south of Dera Nawab Railway Station. This is famous due to location of residential palace of Nawab of Bahawalpur, built by late Sir Sadiq Mohammad Khan. It was previously in Cantonment Board and now, it comprises of three wards. The shrines of Noor Shah Bokhari, Akhear Baha-ud-din and Yara Faqeer are located in Ahmedpur East City. The City is still famous for ‘Khussa’ Shoe making and decorated earthen wares. Solid Waste Management- Ahmedpur East Page 4 2.3 Population The Ahmedpur East has population growth rate of 3.14 % as per 1998 Population Census, which is quiet similar to the provincial average. The population of Town was 96,415 individuals in 1998, and is currently estimated at 153,303 individuals. Given the population growth rate and using 1998 as the base year for arithmetic growth method estimation, the population of town is likely to increase to 284,508 individuals in 20 years from now (year 2033).

In absence of a proper solid waste management system and non availability of data, such estimates and calculations are based upon rough estimates of current population X 0.4 kg/capita/day solid waste produced. Solid waste generation in Pakistan ranges between 0.283 to 0.612 kg/capita/day (http://epd.punjab.gov.pk/?q=solid_waste), therefore waste generation for AhmadPur East is assumed Current around 0.4 kg/capita/day. Per capita waste generation is 0.4 kg per capital, which is likely to Due to its population growth and increase in its economic increase by 1.5% every year.
