Supporting community development
More than 30 percent of Pakistan’s population live below the poverty line. In Sindh, rural areas face heightened food insecurity and limited service access.
To address employment and social issues in the region, Delta Blue Carbon Project has set a target of training 18,000 male community members and 6,000 female members in different skills related to natural resource management (NRM) and other areas.
Empowering communities through employment opportunities
Local community members are engaged in various natural resource management (NRM) related activities, ranging from protection of existing mangrove forests under Mangrove Stewardship Agreements to collecting propagules, raising plantlets, planting, as well as community and infrastructure development, carrying out surveys and collecting data.
Through different interventions, the project aims to:
- Provide affordable and safe drinking water.
- Improve sanitation and hygiene and support for provision of basic health facilities for forest-dependent communities.
- Deliver enhanced access to primary and secondary level education through increasing student enrollment and the improvement of learning environments.
- Create employment and job opportunities for local community members, both male and female, to generate decent livelihoods.
Approximately 21,000 people will get full-time employment, which is almost half of the local population.
Prioritising health care and infrastructure
Five Reverse Osmosis (RO) Plants have been installed in the project area which are now managed and maintained by Indus Delta Capital, in partnership with elected members from local villages through village development committees. More are planned for the future. Together the five plants will provide clean and safe water for a population of 49,000 people across 60 villages in the project area.
The project is also paying special attention to the different community health related issues such as the prevalence of communicable, non-communicable and preventable diseases, malnutrition and under-nourishment.
