It is nice to see so many dams being constructed. Granted there is not a lot of cultivated land associated with these, but still this would improve economies of the areas concerned. I wish to see emergence of middle class in rural Baluchistan that could become a counterweight to Sardars. Investment in social development can not happen without aspirations of a middle class.
 
Balochistan is a gold mine for Pakistan, our past leaders and politicians were fools to ignore this province. Developing Pasni, Jiwani as tourist attractions like Dubai, and Gwadar and Ormara as ports and industrial areas will surely help boost Pakistan's economy

Sindh, Balochistan to get $100m from GPE

05 March, 2014



KARACHI: Ten development organisations and agencies endorsed education sector plans for Sindh and Balochistan on Tuesday.

The representatives of United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) were present. It is prerequisite to seek $100 million from the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) to help Pakistan achieve education-related Millennium Development Goals (MDG).

The representatives of the European Union (EU), United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), Australian Government's Department for Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), German Aid Agency (GIZ), United Kingdom's Department for International Aid World Bank (DFID-WB), UNESCO and UNICEF signed the endorsement document.

End.

Sindh, Balochistan to get $100m from GPE - PakTribune

Jobs in Balochistan.



Balochistan’s peculiar circumstances require special care and treatment. Given the sense of victimhood and widespread unemployment, federal support to mitigate its sufferings is of paramount importance. Of the many initiatives launched in the past to provide succour to the province, the one approved unanimously by parliament on November 23, 2009 stands out.


The Aghaz-e-Haqooq-e-Balochistan Package (AHBP) had, among other things, stipulated the creation of 5,000 jobs for the province immediately. This was in addition to the federal government’s fresh undertaking to implement the quota for the province for employment in government. More than four years down the line, we get to listen that the promise has not been kept — at least, not to the full. A report in this paper says that thousands of posts under the AHBP are lying unfilled and that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has declined to fill them because ‘there is a ban on recruitment’.

This is a disturbing state of affairs and is bound to heighten the grievances the province’s people already nurse. Given how widespread the unemployment problem in Balochistan is, the federal government should do all it can to provide jobs and assuage the province’s cause of distress.

The AHBP had also stipulated other measures to tackle the problem of joblessness. For instance, it had called for the Overseas Employment Foundation to facilitate the recruitment of labour for employment abroad. Besides, it had proposed that the local people living along the coast who meet the criteria should be given jobs in the Coast Guards. Although we don’t know what exactly happened of these suggestions, our hunch is that they might have met the similar fate as other promises. The Nawaz government’s allies are now in charge of the province, with the PML-N itself holding a significant share in the coalition, which is all the more reason that it turn its attention to the province. If it ends up satisfying the populace, it will have brightened its chances of another electoral triumph in the province.

Good news for Sindh, Balochistan

March 05, 2014


ISLAMABAD - Education Sector Plans for Sindh and Balochistan were endorsed by the representatives of 10 development organisations and agencies at the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) as a prerequisite to seek US $100 million from the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) to help Pakistan achieve education-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Education Minister Balochistan, Sardar Raza Muhammad Barrech, Secretary Education Balochistan Ghulam Ali Baluch and the Additional Chief Secretary Sindh Fazlullah Pechuho witnessed the signing ceremony on Tuesday. The representatives of the European Union, United States Agency for

International Development (USAID), Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), Australian Government's Department for Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), German Aid Agency (GIZ), United Kingdom's Department for International Aid (DFID) World Bank, UNESCO and UNICEF signed the endorsement document.
The GPE had indicated a grant of US $100 million for programme implementation of the education sector plans in Sindh and Balochistan. Of this, Sindh will receive $66 million and Balochistan will get $34 million. The World Bank is the supervising entity for both Sindh and Balochistan, whereas the European Union and UNICEF are the coordinating entities for Sindh and Balochistan respectively.

"Today is a historic day for the government and people of Balochistan as along with our partners we have arrived at the same page and tied ourselves to a common objective to transform Balochistan into an educated and progressive province of Pakistan within a short period of five years," said Sardar Raza Muhammad, Education Minister Balochistan. "Our education system direly needed a strategic direction coupled with an effective implementation plan. This Education Sector Plan will provide that and we are immensely grateful to all our partners as it has been possible only with your support."

The government of Balochistan aims to utilise the GPE grant for upgrading 800 primary schools to middle schools and 100 middle schools to higher secondary schools which will help increase enrolment and reduce dropout rates. Additional Chief Secretary Sindh Fazalullah Pechuho said, "We identified the need for a new Education Sector Plan for Sindh in 2012. As a result of a consultative and comprehensive process which followed during the next two years, we have managed to formulate this plan, with support of the development partners including GPE. We are thankful to all those who are present here for endorsing this document."

With the help of the GPE grant, the Government of Sindh aims to increase the Net Enrolment Rate (NER) for 2014-2018 for Katchi from 32 to 45 per cent; for Primary from 59 to 77 per cent; for Middle from 32 to 50 per cent; for Secondary from 23 to 35 per cent and for Higher Secondary from 19 to 30 per cent. "The EU welcomes the adoption of the Education Sector Plans, which we have contributed to. These plans will form the basis for free and compulsory education for all as guaranteed by the Constitution of Pakistan," said the European Union Ambassador, Lars Gunnar Wigemark. "Establishing a roadmap for education in the respective provinces, the Education Sector Plans include clear accountability mechanisms for their implementation. The EU and other development partners will be providing support to the respective education departments to ensure the implementation of the Education Sector Plans".

Speaking on the occasion, UNICEF Representative in Pakistan, Dan Rohrmann said, "The development partners' endorsement of the two provincial Education Sector Plans marks a milestone in the Millennium Development Goals Acceleration Framework. This is also a significant leap forward in the context of the National Plan of Action which the Prime Minister of Pakistan presented in the UN General Assembly Education Ministerial Meeting last year.

In addition to that Pakistan has selected the enrolment rate as an indicator for the MDG Acceleration Framework. Since 2015 is the year for achieving the MDGs and Education for All, it is critical that we accelerate efforts for education in the country."
The Education Sector Plans have been developed through a participatory and transparent process and provide an impetus for free and compulsory education as guaranteed by Article 25-A of the Constitution of Pakistan. These will establish a roadmap for education in the respective provinces, with clear accountability mechanisms for implementing various components of the programme. The development partners will be providing technical support to the respective education departments in effective implementation of the plans.

Currently, 15,000 soldiers from Balochistan are serving in the Pakistan Army. This number does not include officers, nor those from Balochistan serving in the Pakistan Navy and Air Force. Thus, at least 15,000 families from Balochistan have representation in the Pakistan Army. According to the Population Association of Pakistan (www.pap.org.pk), the average household size in Balochistan is 6.7, therefore, 100,500 people from Balochistan have either a father, son, brother or husband in the Pakistan Army. This is significant if we take into account the fact that the total population of Balochistan is only 10 million.
