Dear Memebrs
This is an important document we have been waiting for, and it is
requested that all of us play our role in its refinement.
We had discussed that this document should not be another file in the
government offices. Rather we shall like to see it as a practical
document for some one ,who wants to do some thing.
While reviewing kindly keep in mind if it conforms to
Our understanding of the drinking water policy document is an action
guide for someone who wants to do something for improving drinking
water situation vis-à-vis quality and quantity. Right now the
President and The PM of Pakistan are( read were) bent on doing
something about it.
We feel the policy document.
1. Should be brief
2. Should be practical. (Not asking for the moon)
3. Should provide for immediate relief and long term solution.
4. Should be able to start all initiatives at the same time.
5. Should be making maximum use of existing human, physical and
legislatory provisions.
6. Should provide inter linkages to the existing National and
international commitments like Water policy, Health policy,
Environment policy, Millennium Development Goals (MDG), and Poverty
Reduction Strategy (PRSP).
Please send your comments to Javed Ali Khan Sahib also, as proposed .
