Originally, remote sensing using satellitemedia was not very suitablefor urbanapplications because of the relativelypoor resolution provided80m x 80m. The new generationof remotesensing systemswith resolution equal to 1Om x 1Om in panchromaticmode and 20m x 20m in multispectralmode has now made urban applications possible. In addition, advancementsin micro-computers,related hardware and softwarehave made this technologymore affordable and accessibleto urbanmanagers, planners, and engineers. 0.02 In most Third World cities, accurate up-to-date data on current land use are non-existent.This makes planning urban infrastructureand shelter programs difficult, If not impossible,since there is no knowledgeof the existingurban area. Further, the high costs and time requiredfor traditionaldata collectionefforts have madesystematic updating of urbandatabases beyondthe reach

    Millennium Development Indicators of Education, Employment and Gender Equality of Afghan Refugees in Pakistan

    Millennium Development Indicators of Education, Employment and Gender Equality of Afghan Refugees in Pakistan Country report George Groenewold Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute Lange Houtstraat 19 2511 CV The Hague The Netherlands http://www.nidi.knaw.nl/nl Tel: +31 70 3565200 Fax: +31 70 3647187 E-mail: [email protected] Preface This report is produced within the context of UNHCR project 05/AB/VAR/CM/203(a$ with the title Standards and Indicators Mainstreaming. The main objective of the project is to obtain estimates of Millennium Development Indicators and basic insight into vulnerability and coping behavior of refugees, asylum-seekers and internally displaced persons in Armenia, Sri Lanka, Ecuador and Pakistan. The project is executed by the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI) and been implemented by UNHCR country offices, local research institutions, statistical offices and NGO’s in Armenia, Sri Lanka, Ecuador and Pakistan. Data were collected by means of statistically representative sample surveys in Armenia, Sri Lanka and Ecuador (2006) and in Pakistan (2002). Data collection in the first three countries was geared towards deriving estimates of MDG indicators, while the UNHCR survey of Afghan refugees in Pakistan did not have such an explicit MDG focus. The data collection in Pakistan was geared towards the collection of basic socioeconomic and demographic information in support of programs dealing with the return of Afghan refugees. In the case of Pakistan, NiDi developed research and training instruments (questionnaire, guidelines for interviewers) for the survey and produced a first analytical report in 2002 (Exterkate 2002). Sample design and survey implementation was carried out by DataLine Services (PVT) LTD, a research and consultancy firm in Islamabad.

Home to 21 million people, spread over an area of 3527 km2, makes it the 4th largest metropolitan city in the world. It is the hub of Pakistan’s economic activities and contributes 25% in Pakistan’s Gross Domestic Products (GDP), 65% of national income tax revenue,1 54 percent in central government tax revenues, and 30% in industrial output.2 Karachi is Pakistan's premier centre of banking, industry and trade and employs the largest population in these sectors. It boasts higher education in South Asia and has the highest literacy rate in the country that is up to 90 percent. However, the city’s cosmopolitanism and economic growth are constantly undermined by violent disruptions.

Taking frequency of Pharmaceutical Sciences, common cold at 3 colds annually with discount rate at 3% for calculating burden of illness in terms of University of Karachi, Karachi- disability adjusted life years. The budget impact analysis was carried out calculating budget impact per 75270, Pakistan onset and budget impact per year values.
