WHY NOT A GOOD POLICY TO ACHIERVE THESE
MILLIONS COULD BE BENEFITTED THROUGH POLICY SUPPORT
Over 50,000 HHs are currently living on embankment in 5 NW districts
An appropriate POLICY
can make
a big DIFFERENCE
180,000 ha of sandbar fallen during
dry season
Over 50,000 HHs are currently living on embankment in 5 NW districts
An appropriate POLICY
can make
a big DIFFERENCE
1.Operational access to barren lands/sandbar for the resource poor displaced communities living on flood protection embankments.
2.Financial and technical support mechanism to run the activity on regular basis
3.Nation wide dissemination (in erosion prone 35-40 districts ) to benefit wider communities.
