Without doubt, the greatest single co- ordinated development operation in which the World Bank has been involved is the massive program for development of the Indus Basin. This pioneering study is an integral part of that project and is unique both in its conceptualization and its compre- hensiveness. It demonstrates the feasibility of a new and more rigorous approach to resource planning and development and will serve as an indispensible model for engi- neers, economists, and planners for years to come. Focal points of the Study are the Indus River, which runs the length of west Paki- stan, several of its tributaries, and a huge natural underground reservoir.

WAHEED, M. YAQOOB* R. H. MIRZA Department of Livestock and Poultry Production, Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan, Pakistan Received 12th March 2018 and Revised 29th July 2018 Abstract: A study was planned to evaluate the production profile of Marecha camel maintained in desert ecosystem of Thal area, Tehsil Mankera of District Bhakkar, the Punjab. Different husbandry practices, milk production, calf rearing and the constraints faced by the Thal pastoralists affecting the camel production and management were studied through a pre tested questionnaire. A total of 100 farmers were interviewed by using a single-visit-multiple-subject diagnostic survey. Most of the camel herders were keeping Marecha camel. According to the farmer’s responses, the living status of camel herders has improved and the major source of income is the sale of milk, meat, animals and crop cultivation. Many of the herders kept their camels in semi-open housing system and took them for grazing from morning till evening along with stall-feeding. The mean daily milk yield was found to be 5.62±0.27 kg. Birth weight of male and female calves was found to be 37.96±0.55 and 32.39±0.22 kg, respectively. Calf mortality, traditional way of husbandry practices, poor extension services, lack of attractive market and value chain services were the major constraints affecting camel production.

GULFRAZ AND DANIEL POTTER2 1Department of Botany, Pir Mehr Ali Shah Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi, Pakistan 2Department of Plant Sciences, University of California Davis, USA. *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The floristic survey of the Thal desert, Punjab, Pakistan was carried out during 2010 to 2013. So far, 248 species distributed across 166 genera and 38 families were identified during the report period. Besides, one species viz., Themeda triandra was recorded for the first time from Pakistan. Of them, one fern, 4 monocots and 33 dicots families were determined. The most dominating family was Poaceae that contributed 52 species (21.49%), followed by Fabaceae (34 spp., 13.05%) and Amaranthaceae & Asteraceae (17 spp., 7.02% each). The largest genera were Euphorbia (6 spp.), Cyperus, Eragrostis and Solanum (5 spp. each), Mollugo, Heliotropium and Cenchrus (4 spp. each), Acacia, Prosopis, Tephrosia, Corchorus, Boerhavia and Ziziphus (3 spp. each). This checklist consists of updated systematic families and plants names that will provide a useful starting point for further ecological and bioprospective research of the area under study. Introduction about the vegetation of the study area which helps further ecological investigations and conservation measures. The Thal desert is situated between 31° 10’ N and 71° 30’ E in the Punjab, province, Pakistan (Fig. 1). The area is subtropical sandy desert spread over 190 miles with its maximum breadth of 70 miles. The tract is bound by the piedmont of the Salt Range in the north, the Indus River flood plains in the west and Jhelum and Chenab River flood plains in the east.

    MFF Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Corridor Development Investment Program (RRP PAK 48404) DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION A. Institutional Arrangements and Processes for Development Coordination 1. Coordination among development partners in Pakistan is being supported by government- led efforts under the Paris Declaration. Four working groups jointly led by the government and development partners were set up to promote harmonization in (i) sector-wide approaches to development, (ii) capacity development, (iii) procurement, and (iv) monitoring and evaluation. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is a member of all the groups. Development coordination for the road subsector was carried out in the same coordination framework. B. Major Development Partners: Strategic Foci and Key Activities 2. Pakistan has received substantial assistance from ADB, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and the World Bank. Until the early 1990s, the World Bank led external assistance to roads, focusing on national highway improvements. Its involvement in this area shrank in the 1990s and early 2000s as it shifted its focus to trade facilitation. In 2001, the World Bank financed the Trade and Transport Facilitation Project to assist the Ministry of Communications in reviewing, improving, and providing institutional capacity building to all major agencies associated with the logistics chain. Under the project, the government introduced a single administrative document and a goods declaration form, both of which constituted major steps toward trade facilitation. In 2006, the World Bank processed the national trade corridor improvement development policy loan of $200 million in support of the government’s initiative to develop the national trade corridor. It intended to promote an integrated approach to planning, investing, and managing the corridor’s transport logistics system.
