Improving Water Governance in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (WGKP)
Water governance and water resource management are a critical development challenge in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province (KP) since 18% of the KP population (corresponding to 5.4 million people) remain without access to safe drinking water. In line with the National Water Policy framework and capitalizing on SDC’s experience in the sector, the project aims at strengthening provincial water institutions to enhance water policy development and water service delivery to vulnerable communities in KP.

Contesto |
With a poverty index of 49%, the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province (KP) is increase-ingly committed to implement a pro-poor and people centred reform agenda in order to better respond to the demand of basic water and sanitation services. The current institutional set-up and the poor performances of the public services in water and sanitation, however, create a barrier for the Government of KP to fulfil its mandate. The water sector in KP is fragmented with absence of institutional mechanisms to coordinate a comprehensive sector growth. The lack of coordination between stakeholders has led to inefficient water use, wastage of surface water and indiscriminate abstraction of groundwater resources. Access to piped water is only 35%[1] due to poor structure of service delivery institutions. The prevailing situation has further marginalised poor disadvantaged communities in the provision of water as their basic right. Within the backdrop of socio-political instability, the project has been developed in close consultation with the Government of KP to enhance service delivery leading to social resilience, to mitigate any potential conflicts arising from unequal distribution of water resources and to strengthen institutions for sustainable management of water in the province.
