It provides a summary position of revenues from all sources (Revenue & Capital) and estimated expenditure of all the departments. It also presents a comparative analysis of the estimates for the Financial Year 2013-14 with those of Financial Year 2012-13 along with detailed analysis of the Annual Development Program. It is envisaged that the inside provided by this document, will enable the reader to formulate an informed opinion about the Budget Estimates. 2. While formulating budget for the Financial Year 2013-14 due concentration has been emphasized on effective and efficient resource allocation, need based prioritization of spending, performance and monitoring. The budget for the Financial Year 2013-14 has been devised to promote Economic Growth and Development in the Province. The budget has been prepared in consultation with all stakeholders to seek their guidance in the preparation of a business friendly budget. 3. In order to improve the service delivery outcomes and strengthen the Public Financial Management system of the province, the Output Based Budgeting under MTBF shall continue in all provincial departments. The Output Based Budget unlike traditional incremental budgeting allocates resources to strategic priorities of the government and links departmental outcomes, outputs, targets and indicators. 4. It gives me immense pleasure to highlight the success stories of District Conditional Grants Programme that was extended to six districts. The overarching objective of introducing Conditional Grants is to improve Service Delivery in Education and Health Sectors at the grass root level and tie operational budget with better results. In Budget Estimates 2013-14 Rs. 1.00 billion are allocated for successful continuity of the programme. www.financekpp.gov.pk 5. In order to achieve a sustainable improvement in the coverage and quality of frontline public service delivery through the active involvement of local communities, the Govt. of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa approved “Community Driven Local Development Policy and Frame Work”. Community Driven Local Development initiatives operates on the principles of local empowerment, participatory governance, greater downward accountability and will be initiated in six districts of Malakand Division in cooperative with European Union’s budget. 6. The budget support funds, for the next Financial Year is based on the vision and strategic directions of the new government, especially of the Honorable Chief Minister, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Mr. Pervez Khattak and Minister for Finance, Mr. Siraj-Ul-Haq. I am thankful to them for their support and guidance at every step of the budget formulation. 7. I avail this opportunity to acknowledge the dedication and hard work put in by the Officers/officials of Finance Department to accomplish the time bound uphill task of budget preparation. I am grateful for the unrelenting support provided by the line departments, in the compilation of the white paper, and other budgetary documents.

    Survey of Ecotourism Potential in Pakistan's Biodiversity Project Area (Chitral and Northern Areas): Consultancy Report for IU

    Survey of ecotourism potential in Pakistan’s biodiversity project area (Chitral and northern areas): Consultancy report for IUCN Pakistan John Mock and Kimberley O'Neil 1996 Keywords: conservation, development, biodiversity, ecotourism, trekking, environmental impacts, environmental degradation, deforestation, code of conduct, policies, Chitral, Pakistan. 1.0.0. Introduction In Pakistan, the National Tourism Policy and the National Conservation Strategy emphasize the crucial interdependence between tourism and the environment. Tourism has a significant impact upon the physical and social environment, while, at the same time, tourism's success depends on the continued well-being of the environment. Because the physical and social environment constitutes the resource base for tourism, tourism has a vested interest in conserving and strengthening this resource base. Hence, conserving and strengthening biodiversity can be said to hold the key to tourism's success. The interdependence between tourism and the environment is recognized worldwide. A recent survey by the Industry and Environment Office of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP/IE) shows that the resource most essential for the growth of tourism is the environment (UNEP 1995:7). Tourism is an environmentally-sensitive industry whose growth is dependent upon the quality of the environment. Tourism growth will cease when negative environmental effects diminish the tourism experience. By providing rural communities with the skills to manage the environment, the GEF/UNDP funded project "Maintaining Biodiversity in Pakistan with Rural Community Development" (Biodiversity Project), intends to involve local communities in tourism development. The Biodiversity Project also recognizes the potential need to involve private companies in the implementation of tourism plans (PC II:9).
  • Transregional Intoxications Wine in Buddhist Gandhara and Kafiristan

    Transregional Intoxications Wine in Buddhist Gandhara and Kafiristan

    Borders Itineraries on the Edges of Iran edited by Stefano Pellò Transregional Intoxications Wine in Buddhist Gandhara and Kafiristan Max Klimburg (Universität Wien, Österreich) Abstract The essay deals with the wine culture of the Hindu Kush area, which is believed to be among the oldest vinicultural regions of the world. Important traces and testimonies can be found in the Gandharan Buddhist stone reliefs of the Swat valley as well as in the wine culture of former Kafiristan, present-day Nuristan, in Afghanistan, which is still in many ways preserved among the Kalash Kafirs of Pakistan’s Chitral District. Kalash represent a very interesting case of ‘pagan’ cultural survival within the Islamic world. Keywords Kafiristan. Wine. Gandhara. Kalash. Dionysus, the ancient wine deity of the Greeks, was believed to have origi- nated in Nysa, a place which was imagined to be located somewhere in Asia, thus possibly also in the southern outskirts of the Hindu Kush, where Alexander and his Army marched through in the year 327 BCE. That wood- ed mountainous region is credited by some scholars with the fame of one of the most important original sources of the viticulture, based on locally wild growing vines (see Neubauer 1974). Thus, conceivably, it was also the regional viniculture and not only the (reported) finding of much of ivy and laurel which had raised the Greeks’ hope to find the deity’s mythical birth place. When they came across a village with a name similar to Nysa, the question appeared to be solved, and the king declared Dionysus his and the army’s main protective deity instead of Heracles, thereby upgrading himself from a semi-divine to a fully divine personality.
