This report represents the Semi - Annual Environmental Monitoring Review (SAEMR) for Peshawar Sustainable Bus Rapid Transit Corridor Project (PSBRT). 2. This report is the second EMR for the project. 1.2 Headline Information 3. Since the inception of the project, a number of environmental issues such as excessive dust emissions, unauthorized debris disposal and traffic congestion etc. have been observed and managed as the outcome of the fast track construction activities of the project. The Contractor has been thoroughly pushed since the commencement of the construction activities by the PDA and PMCSC for the resolution of these issues. 4. One of the constraints which has been repeatedly faced by the project has been the lack of willingness and general lack of cooperation of the Contractor towards the implementation of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP). After making extensive efforts for sensitizing the Contractor, the PMCSC employed different strategies using the provisions of the Contract, such as imposition of fines, linking payments with the performance of the Contractor staff and even issuance of notices for stoppage of work activities to convince him to make necessary expenditures required for the execution of essential environmental control measures. 5. The ADB safeguards team has remained highly supportive and responsive in providing guidance and recommendations to the PDA and Consultant (Engineer) on all safeguard compliance related issues, whenever their advice has been sought during the project construction phase. 6. Currently, the situation with regards to implementation of environmental safeguards along the BRT Corridor is comparatively better as the corridor works such as; concreting of At- grade corridor sections, asphalting of the mixed traffic lanes and launching of girders etc. are nearing completion. However, the situation at the campsites still requires further improvements. 3 Semi Annual Environmental Monitoring Report No. 02 Peshawar Sustainable Bus Rapid Transit Corridor Project 2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND CURRENT ACTIVITIES 2.1 Project Description 7. The PSBRT project will provide fast, efficient, reliable and comfortable public transport system to the masses and cost effective urban mobility through the provision of segregated right-of-way infrastructure offering a rapid and frequent service. 8. The BRT route will run from Chamkani to Karkhano market with a total of 32 stations along a total distance of approximately 30 kilometres. The existing infrastructure will be improved with footpaths, bicycle lanes and provision at the stations for bicycle stands to make the journey easy for people using bicycles. Each station will be located within approximately half a kilometre reach, making it convenient for users of the system. Around 450 buses with a capacity of up to 95 people each will be operational on the BRT system and BRT buses will run the entire day with extra buses being used during peak times. 9. On completion, the project will be operated by Trans Peshawar, which is a competent authority working under the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Trans Peshawar is a newly established entity and currently it has not attained sufficient technical / engineering capabilities to provide technical support during the construction activities of the Project.

  • Spatial Distribution and Accessibility to Public Sector Tertiary Care
    SHORT COMMUNICATION Spatial Distribution and Accessibility to Public Sector Tertiary Care Teaching General Hospitals: Tale of Two Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Districts – Peshawar and Abbottabad Masood Ali Shaikh1 and Naeem Abbas Malik2 ABSTRACT Effective utilisation of healthcare facilities is determined by spatial and non-spatial factors, including their spatial distribution and physical accessibility. Public sector plays an important role in the provision of healthcare services for improving health in developing countries like Pakistan. We analysed the spatial distribution and accessibility to public sector tertiary care teaching and general hospitals in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) districts of Abbottabad and Peshawar. Two such hospitals in Abbottabad and three in Peshawar were selected for the analyses. Out of the 44 union councils (UCs) in Abbottabad, there are 23 and 15 UCS that are partially or fully accessible within the 12-kilometer buffer and the service area around the hospitals, respectively. Out of the 93 UCs in Peshawar, there are 79 and 77 UCs that are partially or fully accessible, respectively, within the 12-kilometer buffer and service area around the hospitals. Key Words: Hospitals, Accessibility, GIS, Pakistan. tilisation of healthcare services is impacted by several to the two oldest public sector medical colleges in the spatial and non-spatial factors.1,2 Spatial factors Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province in the northwestern influencing spatial accessibility involve ease of physical part of Pakistan. In terms of population size, Peshawar accessibility to the health facilities, in addition to travel is the largest district in the KPK; while Abbottabad district time and monetary cost associated with such travel for is the ninth largest district in KPK, based on the 2017 seeking preventive and curative healthcare services.

    Gul et al. BMC Infectious Diseases (2016) 16:163 DOI 10.1186/s12879-016-1488-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Molecular characterization of Hepatitis C virus 3a in Peshawar Amina Gul1,2, Nabeela Zahid3, Jawad Ahmed1, Fazli Zahir3, Imtiaz Ali Khan4 and Ijaz Ali2* Abstract Background: The purpose of this study was to explore molecular epidemiology of HCV genotype 3a in Peshawar based on sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of Core region of HCV genome. Methods: Chronically infected Hepatitis C virus infected patients enrolled under the Prime Minister Hepatitis C control program at three Tertiary care units of Peshawar [Khyber Teaching Hospital Peshawar, Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar, Hayat Abad Medical Complex Peshawar] were included in this cross sectional observational study. Qualitative detection of HCV and HCV genotyping was carried out by a modified reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) andtypespecificgenotypingassay.TheCore gene of HCV genotype 3a was amplified, cloned and sequenced. The sequences obtained were used for phylogenetic analysis using MEGA 6 software. Results: Among the 422 (82.75 %) PCR positive samples, 192 (45.5 %) were identified as having HCV genotype 3a infection. HCV Core gene sequencing was carried out randomly for the characterization of HCV 3a. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the obtained viral genomic sequences based on partial HCV 3a Core gene sequences with reference sequences from different countries showed that our sequences clustered with some local and regional sequences with high bootstrap values. Conclusion: HCV 3a is highly prevalent in Peshawar, Pakistan and its phylogenetics based on Core gene sequences indicate the prevalence of different lineages of HCV 3a in Peshawar which may have consequences for disease management strategies causing more economic pressure on the impoverished population due to possible antiviral resistance.

  • Medium Term Budget Estimates for Service Delivery on the Principles of Sound Public Sector Budgeting for Translating Its Vision and Strategies Into Action
    Public sector budgeting systems evolve and change according to the dynamics of public sector management. Public sector budgets are not merely used to allocate resources among competing needs, their usage as a tool to monitor performance has grown tremendously in recent years. Since the traditional budget does not provide information on results to be achieved from the use of public resources, one needs to look at the output based budgets (OBB) of the departments. The OBB in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was introduced in 2010, as a supplement to the traditional budget. The objective of OBB is to provide a link between the financial budget of public sector entities and tangible targets in order to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of public spending. The OBB has been designed to rise above the traditional line item system to clearly define outcomes and outputs for all government departments and to bring about improvements in the quality of governance. It serves as a tool for evaluation of the achievement of last year’s results, which can be utilized to provide feedback to improve the policy design and measurement of key performance indicators. Like previous years, the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has formed its Output Based Budget/Medium Term Budget Estimates for Service Delivery on the principles of sound public sector budgeting for translating its vision and strategies into action. As such, it presents its budget estimates for the medium term of 3 years ( 2017-18 to 2019-20) in an integrated manner with a focus on agreed level of outputs/service delivery. DISCLAIMER: Progress reported against targets set for financial year 2016 -17 is up to March 2017 and those key performance indicators against which progress and future targets were not conveyed by the departments have been left blank.
