General Humanitarian Situation Pakistan is fraught with challenges of poverty, food insecurity and continuous natural and manmade disasters. As per the latest poverty estimates, 24% of Pakistan’s population lives below the national poverty line; which includes 31% in rural areas and 13% in urban areas. Further, nationally 38.8% of the population is poor based on multidimensional poverty index (MPI); 54.6% in rural and 9.4% in urban areas. The situation of food security also paints a bleak picture. The global report titled “Food Security and Nutrition in the World”, a joint publication of FAO, IFAD, WFP, UNICEF and WHO, reports 20.5% of the total population of Pakistan was undernourished during the period 2015-2017. Sindh and Balochistan province has higher incidence of multidimensional poverty. Sindh and Balochistan are prone to multiple hazards: floods and drought. Although, they were not experienced a major flood since 2015, but drought/drought like conditions have been prevailing since 2013 which have impacted on livelihood and food security in parts of the province. Particularly, drought has been a recurring phenomenon in the South-East and Western districts of the province. Sindh The Sindh Drought Needs Assessment (SDNA) conducted by the Food Security Working Group (FSWG) in 2015/16 revealed that the arid zones in the West (Jamshoro and Dadu) and South-East (Tharparkar, Umerkot and Sanghar) were the most drought affected areas. These areas experienced moderate to severe drought during 2013-15 and reported livestock and crop losses. In February 2017, a joint UN observation mission, comprising of staff members from the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA), Sindh, and UN agencies (FAO, WFP, UNICEF, IOM and OCHA), visited the desert areas of Sanghar, Umerkot and Tharparkar. The mission observed poor food security and livelihoods situation in the desert areas. Additionally, the communities reported reduced crop production, livestock losses and limited availability of water for domestic consumption and agriculture activities. In April/May 2017, the FSWG Sindh carried out a Livelihood and Food Security Assessment (LFSA) in Tharparkar, Umerkot, Sanghar and Jamshoro Districts. The assessment findings revealed high livestock losses, inadequacy of own produced cereals, high malnutrition among children under the age of 5 and pregnant and lactating women (PLW), problems in accessing health care facilities/providers, poor housing status, poor access to improved water sources and sanitation, and very high food insecurity. Furthermore, drought-like conditions have been prevailing recently in the south-eastern and western districts of Sindh. The drought condition in Pakistan, reflected by Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), for selected months in 2018. Many districts in Sindh province are under ‘moderate to severe’ drought conditions due to no or very low precipitation and persistent dry conditions which have aggravated since July 2018. Further, departure from normal rainfall for selected months in 2018 is also very high in several parts of the country including Sindh and anomaly has increased in Sindh and Balochistan provinces. Government of Sindh declared 8 districts are calamity hit due to prevailing drought situation. Sr# District No of Deh affected No of families affected 1 Thatta 06 10681 2 Dadu 88 23067 3 Sanghar 07 9159 4 Tharparker 167 276152 5 Umerkot 25 31390 6 Kambar shadadkot 22 8006 7 Jamshoro 110 29738 8 Badin 54 32751 Total 420,946 Balochistan The longest historical spell was occurred over 1945 to 1955 and 1997 to 2003 after 2011 there is the spell of one year. The drought spell is continuing for the last 2 years whereas in Makran division it is in the last 4 years. Due to scarcity rainfall there have been devastation for shortage of water effecting the population and the livestock/Agriculture. According the report conducted by Balochistan University of Information Technology, Engineering & Management Sciences (BUITEMS) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in 2015. Recurring drought is one of the major challenges faced by Balochistan province of Pakistan. Assessment of this natural calamity is crucial so that necessary precautionary measures may be taken to avoid colossal losses. This study aims to understand the current drought phenomenon in Balochistan and its impacts on agriculture, livelihood and water resources and to identify existing coping mechanisms adopted by rural households in the drought-affected areas. According to recent assessment conducted by PDMA Balochistan, many areas of the province are experiencing drought because since 2013 the rainfall has been hardly one fourth of the usual rainfall (usual rainfall is 200-250 mm). The available evidence shows that four types of drought, namely meteorological, agricultural, hydrological and socio- economic, exist in Balochistan with different intensities. A Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) showed that out of the previous fifty years, twenty years experienced mild drought, seventeen near normal, three moderate and two years were extremely wet. SPI indicates that during the year 2014, moderate drought prevailed. Agricultural drought is defined by a reduction in crop area, a loss in crop yields, or both, as a result of deficient moisture contents during the crop-growing season. PDMA identified following areas as most effected in Balochistan Province during drought 2018-2019.

Dutton Series Overview This China Maritime Report on Gwadar is the second in a series of case studies on China’s Indian Ocean “strategic strongpoints” (战略支点). People’s Republic of China (PRC) officials, military officers, and civilian analysts use the strategic strongpoint concept to describe certain strategically valuable foreign ports with terminals and commercial zones owned and operated by Chinese firms.1 Each case study analyzes a different port on the Indian Ocean, selected to capture geographic, commercial, and strategic variation.2 Each employs the same analytic method, drawing on Chinese official sources, scholarship, and industry reporting to present a descriptive account of the port, its transport infrastructure, the markets and resources it accesses, and its naval and military utility.

  • Syed Mumtaz Ali Shah Managing Director Sindh Technical Education and Vocational Training Authority (STEVTA) the Present Governme
    STEVTA Employment Through Skills Syed Mumtaz Ali Shah Managing Director Sindh Technical Education and Vocational Training Authority (STEVTA) The present Government is committed to promote Technical Education and Vocational Training in the province of Sindh. The efforts of Government are noteworthy and appreciable especially its contribution towards restructuring of TEVT in the province through establishment of Sindh TEVTA. Sindh Technical Education Vocational Training Authority (STEVTA) has been established to streamline and strengthen Technical Education and Vocational Training under one umbrella, I am confident that inefficiencies persisting in the domain of TEVT will now be done away. STEVTA is committed to developing qualitative and skilled workforce through our institutions around the province by focusing on demand driven training programs. During the first year of inception, STEVTA has taken major initiatives such as curriculum up-gradation through German experts, institutional infrastructural development, and faculty development through Technical Trainings at National Institute of Science of Technical Education (NISTE) that will go a long way in improving the learning environment in our institutions. STEVTA offers best opportunities of skill training through several institutions around the province. I hope the youth will prefer the track of Technical Education and Vocational Training for becoming part of the blue-collar workforce of Pakistan. In recent years, role and importance of Human Capital around the globe has changed due to advancements in technology, changes in political, social, & economic environment. Globalization has created vast opportunities for skilled workforce in the domestic and international markets. Reducing unemployment and poverty is the fore most challenge of the present Government. This challenge can only be met through enhancement of skill levels of the youth through Technical Education & Vocational Training.

  • Hydro Power Resources of Pakistan (I) Private Power and Infrastructure Board
    Private Power and Infrastructure Board Foreword Pakistan is endowed with plenty of natural resources, including water resources. Besides water supply and irrigation, water resources are also utilized to produce electricity. National water resources have rich potential for hydropower generation, estimated as 60000 MW which could be economically harnessed. Out of this vast hydropower potential only 11% has been developed so far. Hydropower is the best available option in the recent scenario of meeting challenges of projected future energy demands of our country as it is sustainable, reliable, renewable, clean, low cost and indigenous thus can be the principal source of energy. It is therefore imperative to put all-out efforts towards development of the untapped hydropower potential without further delay. Accordingly, there is a transition in policy priority i.e. shifting from development of gas/oil based thermal power plants with merits of comparatively shorter construction time and lower capital investment to hydropower generation. The Private Power and Infrastructure Board (PPIB) has already been successful in attracting significant investment in developing hydropower projects, which are currently at different stages of implementation. The world-over, hydropower projects are characterized with a variety of technical and economic constraints and bottlenecks, Pakistan being no exception. These include hydrological risks, resettlement and environmental issues, regulatory matters, market dynamics and financing problems. In the past no attention was ever paid to address these impediments in development of hydropower projects. The government has now taken a number of initiatives to remove all the factors hampering Independent Power Producers (IPPs) in developing hydropower projects. Focus is on creating synergy among various stakeholders including regulatory bodies.
