Plan Provision
• The goal of Provincial Sanitation Strategy and action plan is to
ensure that the entire population of Balochistan has access to
safe sanitary environment. A “happy, healthy and hygienic
environment for all” can only be ensured if the indiscriminate
and unhygienic disposal of liquid solid municipal, industry and
agricultural is completely eradicated.
• The plan is to achieve the targets set in approved sanitation
strategy as the MDGs i.e. “proportion of people without
sustainable access to improved sanitation will be reduced by
half (50%), by the year 2015 and all (100%) population will be
served by the year 2025 with improved sanitation”. To achieve
these goals, Provincial/Federal Government or any other
funding agency may be approached to provide the funds. So,
that the obligations of the Government of Pakistan in view of
the MDG may be achieved.
•
CLTS approach works in high density areas and is not applicable in
low density areas like Balochistan. In Balochistan, sanitation demand
has to be created where as in high density areas like Bengal and
Punjab demand already exists. In Provincial Sanitation Strategy there
is no binding regarding any approach. It has been accepted to provide
tractors and allied facilities for solid waste disposal.
•
To facilitate the success of the strategy in Balochistan perspective
and considering the poverty issue, in light of the previous attempts
made by the different development projects, it is decided to provide
hardware including:
– WC, P trap and pipes for latrine;
– RCC rings for only 4 UC in coastal areas;
– Tractor and accessories for solid waste disposal at each UC;
– Provision of hand pumps in all UC.
Future Expectation
•
To reduce the burden of water and sanitation-related diseases, especially
amongst children, thus improving the quality of life of the people (particularly
women) and future generations;
•
To increase access to drinking water and adequate sanitation facilities, and
maximize the health benefits through widespread adoption of hygiene
practices
THROUGH:
 Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS)
 Public Awareness Campaign: Behaviour change
 Outcome Focused
 Incentives for Performance
 Different Approaches for Rural & Urban Areas
 Financial and Technical Support by PG
 Phased Implementation
Major Challenges
•
Fast increasing population (high growth rate and migration from neighbor
county);
•
Poverty
•
Scarcity of drinking water
•
Lack of water testing facilities
•
Significant impact in shifting the mind set of community to change behavior
•
Scattered population (density 19 persons per sq. kilometer)
•
High costs (Materials and labourers)
•
Financial constraints
