2. Membership/Composition/Chairperson
2a. List of ministries and agencies involved:
An informal organization exists at present as follows: 1.
Pakistan's Agenda 21 is the National Conservation Strategy (NCS),
which was approved by the Government of Pakistan on March 1, 1992.
All reports regarding strategies, policies and
programmes for sustainable development will be drawn up on the
basis of the NCS. 2. While the focal point of national
coordination for Agenda 21 is the (Federal level) Environment and
Urban Affairs Division (EUAD), the nature of coordination
is informal and involves other agencies - e.g., the environment
section in the Planning and Development Division; the
Sustainable Development Policy Institute (an Independent Policy
Research Institute). The World Conservation Union-IUCN (a
Non-Governmental Organization); and other Government Ministries.
3. There are efforts, at present, to link the Pakistan
Environmental Protection Council (originally a policy body of
regulatory nature) through institutional changes to a national
process of co-ordination.
2b. Names of para-statal bodies and institutions involved, as
well as participation of academic and private sectors:
2c. Names of non-governmental organizations:
1. The Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI)
2. The World Conservation Union - IUCN (Please see page 5 of
Pakistan's 1993 annual report to the CSD for more detail).
3. Mandate role of above mechanism/council:
1. SDPI's mandate is to conduct technical and policy analysis
across a range of policy issues to support the formulation of
long term strategies for Social and Economic Development. The
government uses it as a source of information about
critical policy issues, and as an initiator of new policy
strategies.
2. IUCN has played a pivotal role in the development of the NCS,
and in particular, in ensuring that both the planning and
implementation of the NCS involve wide consultation within the
country.
