Editor's Notes
- Complex and contested governance particularly in the context of constitutional measures -18th constitutional amendment and devolution to provincesEmergence of new institutional structures at the federal level to tackle the issues related to policy jurisdiction of the federation capacity gap at both, federal and provincial levelsWith an estimated damage of over US$ 9 billion, the devastating floods in mid-2010 further added to the economic and political woes. Development context in the aftermath of floods have considerably changed in terms of priorities of external partnersThe conflict in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) led to one of the worst security crises in Pakistans history, displacing millions of people and disrupting public services. Post-crisis support for KP and FATA has become a significant development priority for government and donorsEstablishment of Capital Administration and Development Division - To start with as many as 20 federal government departments previously existing under ministries of environment, health, education, culture, livestock, population, special education, youth affairs and tourism have been placed under the CADDGovernment funding is insufficient and hence reliance on donor for WSS is obviousThe story line converges to The resulting uncertainty has also created a situation lacking clarity in institutional mandates, structures, roles and capacities to provide improved WSS services. WSP-SA is ideally placed to support its clients within the devolving municipal sector and to the new public structures lacking knowledge and capacities
