Balochistan Drought Updates as of 28-12-2014
Drought Coming To Balochistan
A local media reported on Sunday 28th December, that a provincial minister has warned of a severe drought in
Balochistan, due to the prolonged dry spell. Mir Sarfraz Bugti said that his province has been facing severe
drought because there has been little rainfall and snowfall this winter season. Most of the deputy
commissioners have produced reports to inform the PDMA about the drought situation in their respective
districts. Another senior official of the PDMA said that the National Weather Forecasting Centre of the Pakistan
Meteorological Department has also endorsed these reports. Bugti said that his department has already
started preparations to handle the situation, though he refused to share details of the preparations. “We have
informed chief minister [Dr Abdul Malik Baloch] about the possible repercussions of the drought. The PDMA
has also issued emergency warnings to all provincial departments, including agriculture, irrigation and food,
regarding arrangements to tackle the situation,” he added. An official of the provincial agriculture department,
who has received said warning, told local media that the drought has severely affected the rain fed districts of
Balochistan. More than 80 percent of the districts are rain fed in the province. Agriculture being the backbone
of the provincial economy provides employment to over 60 per cent of its population.

Description
Amid grim situation as far as menace of malnutrition is
concerned, a two-day National Conference of Civil Society
Alliance on Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN-CSA) was convened here
in Islamabad. Scores of representatives from different Civil
Society Organizations (CSOs), government officials of relevant
departments across the country participated. The Conference
convened not only to chalk out a comprehensive & collective
action plan in order to mitigate the malnutrition crises but also
to devise a roadmap which would lead to scaling up nutrition
on sustainable basis in Pakistan.
A sub-division of hilly District of Battagram,KP province; Allai is
inhabited by a population of 150000 people approx. & is
constituted of 8 Union Councils but still was devoid of any high
school for Girls.
Save the Children took the initiative and constructed the ever
first Girls high School in Allai and that too in an unprecedented
manner. Constructed on the scenic point at Rabat with a
financial cost of 20 million PKR, the High School for Girls
consists of 5 spacious class rooms, 1 examination hall, 1
laboratory, a store and many lavatories. Save the Children
pledges to ensure the right of education to the Children of
Pakistan especially to those who are living in the hinterlands
where educational opportunities are at the lowest ebb.
In the wake of 25th anniversary of UNCRC, Save the Children
conducted a series of awareness campaigns focusing different
Government Schools situated specially in the hinterlands of
Pakistan. The idea was to make the children vocal for their own
rights. Such was the interactive session conducted in one of the
government schools of District Battagram, KP Province. The
session was participated by the students of grade 3, 4 and 5.
Later on, a short QA session was held. Towards the end gift
hampers were also distributed among the participants.
