November
1999 – March 2000
General
The
partners in Pakistan Environment Programme have prepared a TOR for the
MTR of the Pakistan National Conservation Strategy and initiated a number
of activities. The MTR is intended to provide stakeholders (government,
civil society and supporting institutions) with the opportunity to assess
the current situation and set the stage for any necessary mid-term corrections.
Specifically the MTR will assess progress since the 1992 adoption of the
NCS and, based on lessons learned, will draw conclusions and make recommendations
on adjustments needed for the NCS and integrated strategic guidelines
for sustainable development in Pakistan. The External Review Team, comprised
of four members, will prepare a draft final report of the MTR and present
it to a multisectoral workshop. Based on comments received at the workshop,
a final report of the MTR will be submitted to the Ministry of Environment
for wider circulation to stakeholders and further action.
The
ERT will conduct its work from a combination of materials prepared in
advance by the NCS MTR Team, from interviews and field visits in various
areas of Pakistan, from review of documents of the NCS and other development
efforts in Pakistan, through limited comparisons with ‘best-practice’
strategies in other countries, and from the individual experience of the
ERT members. Background work and responses regarding the design and preliminary
products arising from the advance work commissioned through IUCN-Pakistan
will take place in the months prior to the ERT meetings. Team activities
within Pakistan are scheduled for a three-week period during March - April
2000. It is anticipated that the final report will be produced by mid
of April 2000.
The
ERT members will work cooperatively to produce an integrated report. However,
it is useful to draw upon the individual skills and background of each
person in the conduct of the fieldwork and other activities. These individual
TOR are provided as Annex 2 to the overall TOR for the ETR, which, in
turn, are linked to the TOR for the MTR. These documents should be consulted
for further details regarding the tasks.
