[Jan-Mar.'2006] Awareness / Disclosure Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized PREFACE The report in hand is the Final (updated October 2006) of the Integrated Social & Environmental Assessment (ISEA) for proposed Water Sector Improvement Project (WSIP). This report encompasses the research, investigations, analysis and conclusions of a study carried out by Mls Osmani & Co. (Pvt.) Ltd., Consulting Engineers for the Institutional Reforms Consultant (IRC) of Sindh Irrigation & Drainage Authority (SIDA). The Proposed Water Sector Improvement Project (WSIP) Phase-I, being negotiated between Government of Sindh and the World Bank entails a number of interventions aimed at improving the water management and institutional reforms in the province of Sindh. The second largest province in Pakistan, Sindh has approx. 5.0 Million Ha of farm area irrigated through three barrages and 14 canals. The canal command areas of Sindh are planned to be converted into 14 Area Water Boards (AWBs) whereby the management, operations and maintenance would be carried out by elected bodies. Similarly the distributaries and watercourses are to be managed by Farmers Organizations (FOs) and Watercourse Associations (WCAs), respectively. The Project focuses on the three established Area Water Boards (AWBs) of Nara, Left Bank (Akram Wah & Phuleli Canal) & Ghotki Feeder. The major project interventions include the following targets:- * Improvement of 9 main canals (726 Km) and 37 branch canals (1,441 Km). This includes new lining of 50% length of the lined reach of Akram Wah. * Control of Direct Outlets * Replacement of APMs with agreed type of modules * Improvement of 173 distributaries and minor canals ( 1527 Krn) including 145 Km of geomembrane lining and 1 12 Km of concrete lining in 3 AWBs. * Preparation of Drainage Development and Water Management Plan (DDWMP) of Kotri Basin and implementation of DDWMP for Kotri Left Bank Drainage Basin including studies for remedial works to offset tidal influence in the drains. * Improved O&M ot Irrigation & Drainage System through O&M Performance Contracts for drains and supply of maintenance equipment to FOs for which provision is made separately. * Preparation of Master Plan lor Left Bank of Indus Delta and Coastal Zone. The exact locations of most of the project activities would be determined during the implementation phase based on different selection criteria keeping in view other projects of similar nature which are being implemented in Sindh Province. Given the complexity of the subject as well as the requirements of the study, the time given for the assignment was limited, specially given that the study had to depend heavily on secondary data to be gathered from a number of government and private sector agencies. While reading the report, it should bc kept in mind that the objectives of the assignment were limited to study of Social and Environmental issues related to the project interventions. However, the ultimate goal of all such interventions is poverty alleviation and in this context, several other aspects also come into focus. As such, there is every likelihood of the intended outputs and expectations from the study to be magnified from the broader perspectives of poverty alleviation, as well as other pertinent but not directly relevant issues such as Pest Management. greater environmental issues like drainage, waterlogging & salinity, water quality issues, etc. Caution is. therefore, advised when looking at the outputs of the study which, while addressing the broader issues to some extent, has focused on the specific project interventions under WSIP-Phase-l. Integrated Social & Environmental Assessment for Page - 2 Sindh Water Sector ImDrovement Proiect An ISEA for Sindh On-Farm Water Management Project. (SOFWMP) was earlier prepared by Osmani & Company (Pvt.) Ltd. The SOFWMP envisaged similar interventions in almost the same project area. As such the current ISEA for WSIP is built-upon the previous ISEA for SOFWMP as per TOR of the current assignment. The WSIP was at an initial / conception stage when the ISEA was carried-out and the physical and institutional interventions and their locations were not defined in detail till then. As such, the ISEA was prepared keeping in view the generalized and broad-based physical and institutional interventions prepared for the project. In September 2006, however, with the PAD prepared by the World Bank Pre- appraisal mission, the project interventions were defined in more details and the ISEA was accordingly modified to the extent possible. The current report is the updated version of the ISEA Final Report. As part of TOR. a detailed report on Inundation of Coastal Areas of Badin was also prepared which has been made a part of this report as Appendix-A. The Consultants wish to put on record the support provided by a number of people and agencies in collection of data and finalizing of the report. The team work that ensued among the Government of Sindh, SIDA, IRC. the World Bank and the Consultants during the preparation of this report was the result of commitment of all the persons involved to identify the social and environmental impacts and to improve the pro ject design for maximizing the benefits to the poor. Special thanks are due to the following:- * Brig. (Rtd.) A. Haq. Project Coordinator, NDP Sindh * Managing Director, SIDA * Mr. Moula Bux Mirbahar, General Manager (Operations), SIDA * DG. AE&WM, Sindh * Prot'. Ajaz Quereshi. General Manager (Transition) SIDA * Dr. Mumtaz Sohag, General Manager (R&D), SIDA * Mr. Nazeer Essani.

Mercy Corps, Pakistan ͳ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The monsoon rains that started in the second week of August 2011 triggered serious flooding affecting more than 5.3 million people. It is reported to have destroyed or damaged nearly one million houses and inundated 4.2 million acres of cropland, prompting the Government of Pakistan to call for support from the United Nations. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) for Sindh mobilized its resources relatively quickly, however their response was far too limited compared with the needs of so many people. During the contingency planning phase, they estimated resources adequate to the temporary care of some 50,000 IDPs. The situation had worsened nearly a month after the start of the emergency and the national authorities requested international support. At that point, the NDMA and PDMA indicated that between 5.3 million flood-affected people of Lower Sindh were in urgent need of assistance.

  • Historical Sketch of Peasant Activism: Tracing Emancipatory Political Strategies of Peasant Activists of Sindh
    International Journal Humanities and Social Sciences (IJHSS) ISSN (P): 2319-393X; ISSN(E): 2319-3948 Vol. 3, Issue 5, Sep 2014, 23-42 © IASET HISTORICAL SKETCH OF PEASANT ACTIVISM: TRACING EMANCIPATORY POLITICAL STRATEGIES OF PEASANT ACTIVISTS OF SINDH GHULAM HUSSAIN 1 & ANWAAR MOHYUDDIN 2 1MPhil Scholar, Department of Anthropology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan 2 Lecturer, Department of Anthropology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan ABSTRACT Peasant activism in Sindh is very diverse and has its own typical history. Temporally, it has been focused on contextual issues that demand more than just land reforms. Peasant activists have, over the years, pursued roughly articulated, expedient and highly diverse agendas that are enacted by the mix of civil society activists, NGOs and ethnic peasant activists. In this article, which is the result of ethnographic study and the analysis of secondary ethnographic and historical data, effort has been made to trace the formation of peasantivist agendas and strategies in Sindh, particularly tracing it from the peasant struggle of Shah Inayat in 17 th century. The introduction of exploitative Batai system during British rule, the consequent institutionalization of sharecropping, establishment of Hari Committee in 1930s, the launching of Batai Tehreek and Elati Tehreek have been traced in relation to shifting peasantivist agendas. Failure of peasant activists to bring about substantive land reforms and the recent process of NGO-ising of peasant activism, have been analyzed vis-à-vis historical past. KEYWORDS: Peasant Activism, Peasant Movements, N.G.Os INTRODUCTION In this study the genesis of exploitation in peasant communities of Sindh has been elaborated, and the historical analysis of some of the important peasant struggles, rebels, and movements have been done to understand where peasants and peasant activist in Sindh stands now.

Hussein Abdul Razzaq Saleemi Saira Malik Shazreh Hussain International Labour Office Geneva March 2004 Foreword In June 1998 the International Labour Conference adopted a Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and its Follow-up that obligates member States to respect, promote and realize freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining, the elimination of all forms of forced or compulsory labour, the effective abolition of child labour, and the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation.1 The InFocus Programme on Promoting the Declaration is responsible for the reporting processes and technical cooperation activities associated with the Declaration; and it carries out awareness raising, advocacy and research – of which this Working Paper is an example. Working Papers are meant to stimulate discussion of the questions covered by the Declaration. They express the views of the author, which are not necessarily those of the ILO. This Working Paper is one of a series of Rapid Assessments of bonded labour in Pakistan, each of which examines a different economic sector.
