Institutional and Financial Strategy

 Agreement between Project Developer and the government to implement a

Biodiversity Action Plan with shared responsibilities
 Putting in place a protection system for Poonch River Mahaseer National Park
partly financed by the Project and implemented by an Independent
Organization
 Active support from the AJKFWD by making available existing staff for
protection and assistance in coordination with other government line
departments such as police and district administration
 Commitment by AJKFWD to provide legal authority to the staff of the
Independent Organization for exercising powers under wildlife legislation
 Oversight and monitoring by the Wildlife Management Board of AJK
 Revamping and commissioning of a Mahaseer fish hatchery for stocking of
fish downstream of the powerhouse
 Monitoring by an Independent Third Party on a long term basis

with industry representation

2. Financing

utional Challenges - Multiple Responsibilities at the Basin Level

gulatory and enforcement: EPA, forest and wildlife departments, mining

partment
ministration and enforcement: District coordination officers, police, local
vernments, municipal authorities
icy and coordination: Wildlife management board, forest management
ard, boards of autonomous organizations
itical: Public ownership and commitment
w coordination mechanisms have to be created to cater the special needs
he basin
ership and Ownership

ordination mechanisms do not function well without leadership from an

titution.
adership is best exercised by a government institution that has the legal
ndate over the priority VECs.
e private sector can bring in professionalism and best practices in
nagement, and can benefit from reduced risks and enhanced reputation
ncing of Conservation

vironment is not seen as a legitimate project cost by the electricity

ulators, environmental costs are often disallowed in the tariffs.
e concept that the electricity consumers should pay for environmental costs
ot accepted at policy level.
ile the projects struggle to finance environmental costs, financing of
vironmental costs outside the project area at the basin level becomes
ceedingly difficult.
e base case or business as usual is to expect the government to finance
sin wide costs through the departments using tax revenues
ecial financing mechanisms or funds can be designed to collect the funds
d divert them to organizations and institutions that can deliver conservation
ch funds are best managed with representation from private sector and
er stakeholders
vate sector can supplement through CSR investments and support special
sboundary Challenges

e upstream projects have an effect on flow as well as water quality, mainly

ter temperature.
e downstream projects can block migration and access to breeding areas
case of Pakistan and India, the Indus Water Treaty does not directly
dress environmental rights, though a recent case may change this
umption
e relationship of governments has to change from adversarial, based on
tection of rights, to regional cooperation for collective benefit.
