INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview 1. This document is the Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) for the Tranche-III augmentation sub-projects of Multan Electric Power Company (MEPCO). This IEE was prepared under TA Loan 2178-PAK of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for Power Distribution and Enhancement Multi-Tranche Finance Facility (PDEMFF). The substation and distribution line are taken to be one project. 2. Government of Pakistan (GoP) has requested ADB to provide the PDEMFF to facilitate investments in power distribution and development of electric Infrastructures of eight independent distribution companies (DISCOs) that distribute electric supply (power) to end user consumers. The funding from ADB is expected to be released in stages (tranches). 3. The Power Distribution Enhancement (PDE) Investment Program is part of the GoP long term energy security strategy. The proposed ADB intervention will finance new investments in PDE and assist capacity building of sector related agencies. The investment program will cover necessary PDE development activities in secondary transmission/distribution networks of DISCOs. The PDEMFF activities include construction of new grid stations, extension (additional transformers) and augmentation (replacement of transformers with higher capacity), distribution line extensions, new and replacement distribution lines, additional sub-stations, transformer protection and other non network activities. 4. This IEE presents the results and conclusions of environmental assessment for ten (10) Augmentation Sub-projects proposed by MEPCO and has been submitted by Pakistan Electric Power Company (PEPCO) on behalf of MEPCO. PEPCO has been nominated by Ministry of Water and Power to act as the Executing Agency (EA) with each DISCO (MEPCO) being the Implementing Agency (IA) for work in its own area. PEPCO‟s role in the processing and implementation of the investment program is that of a coordinator of such activities as preparation of PC-1s and Project Financing Requests (PFRs), monitoring implementation activities; that includes submission of environmental assessments for all sub-projects in all tranches of the PDEMFF under ADB operating procedures. An IEE has been carried out to fulfill the requirements of ADB Safeguards Policy Statement 2009. 5. Requirements for Environmental Assessment 6. Under the Multi Finance Facility (MFF) loan procedures of ADB, implementation of safeguards is to be achieved under ADB Guidelines. The project that have some adverse environmental impacts but of lesser degree or significance such as Construction of new 132Kv Grid Station is categorized as Category “B” project. Pak-EPA emphases that proponent must follow the Section 12 of the Pakistan Environmental Protection Act (PEPA) 1997 for all subprojects. Pak-EPA has also assumed that all proponents will consult with the relevant provincial EPAs and follow their advice. With 18th Amendment in Constitution, more power regarding environment are delegated to the provinces. Therefore, this IEE finalized will be submitted to provincial Environmental Protection Department (EPD), Punjab for Approval/No Objection Certificate (NOC) for proposed subproject. 7. Under GoP regulations, the Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency (Pak-EPA) Review of Initial Environmental Examination and Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations (2000) categorizes development projects into two schedules according to their potential environmental impact. The proponents of projects that have reasonably foreseeable impacts are required to submit an IEE for their respective projects (Schedule I). Projects that have more adverse environmental impact (Schedule II) are required to submit an environmental impact assessment (EIA) to the respective provincial Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). According to the Pak-EPA Regulations 2000 for Review of IEE and EIA, Distribution lines and sub-stations are included under energy projects and IEE is required for Transmission lines less than 11Kv, and large distribution projects (Schedule I).

  • Pre-Colonial Religious Institutions and Development: Evidence Through a Military Coup∗
    Pre-colonial Religious Institutions and Development: Evidence through a Military Coup∗ Adeel Maliky Rinchan Ali Mirzaz September 2018 Abstract This paper offers a novel illustration of the political economy of religion by exam- ining the impact of religious elites on development. Compiling a unique database covering the universe of holy Muslim shrines across Pakistani Punjab, we show that historically embedded religious power shapes persistent differences in literacy. Using the 1977 military take-over as a universal shock that gave control of develop- ment expenditures to politicians, our difference-in-differences analysis suggests that areas with a greater concentration of shrines experienced a substantially retarded growth in literacy after the coup. We argue that the coup devolved educational spending to local politicians, and shrine elites, being more wary of education since it undermines their power, suppressed its expansion in shrine-dense areas. JEL Codes: I25, N55, O15, Z12 ∗This research was completed with financial support from an award of the research Competitive Grants Program, Pakistan Strategy Support Program, International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI).

    CENTRAL EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY CENTER FOR POLICY STUDIES OPEN SOCIETY INSTITUTE SYED TAUQIR HUSSAIN SHAH Madrassahs in Pakistan: A Threat to Enlightened and Moderate Pakistan? 5 2 0 0 4 / 2 0 0 CPS INTERNATI O N A L P O L I C Y FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM SYED TAUQIR HUSSAIN SHAH Madrassahs in Pakistan: A Threat to Enlightened and Moderate Pakistan? Abstract Since independence in 1947 the number of religious schools – Madrassahs – in Pakistan has risen from 137 to estimates as high as 45,000. Essentially schools for the poor, they provide free religious education, boarding and lodging. The author of this study, however, a district administrator and magistrate in the Ahmad Pur East region, believes there are strong links between the proliferation of Madrassahs and a rise in sectarianism and violence. This is particularly true in underdeveloped areas, where many of the underprivileged see local Madrassahs as playing a more effective than the local feudal political leadership. Despite government programs aimed at regulating the funding of Madrassahs a lack of concerted effort on the part of the institutions involved has resulted in little progress. Laws to curb the problem of religiously motivated philanthropy are conspicuous by their absence. The current Ministry of Education project to bring Madrassahs into the mainstream is fundamentally fl awed, and it would be counter-productive to continue the scheme in its current form. The government needs to offer a viable alternative form of education and bring in a new legislative framework with a special law aimed at regulating Madrassahs. This policy paper was produced under the 2004-05 International Policy Fellowship program.
