ABOUT
WATERAID
The
multinational NGO WaterAid operates in 28 nations, including Pakistan. In our
ideal world, everyone on the planet would have access to clean, safe drinking
water, better sanitation, and proper hygiene. Our goal is to promote access to
better WASH services so that the most vulnerable and impoverished people can
live lives that are transformed. In order to create and implement suitable,
inclusive, climate-resilient, and sustainable WASH programs, we assist local
groups and government authorities. In order to secure and defend the rights of
marginalized and vulnerable people to clean, cheap, and readily available
drinking water and sanitation services, WaterAid also works to influence policy
changes.

1)
OVERVIEW
2) Pakistan Youth Leadership Initiative
(PYLI), a three-year project spearheaded by the British Council in
collaboration with WaterAid Pakistan, the Higher Education Commission (HEC),
local CSOs, public universities, and the Government of Pakistan's Prime Minister's
Youth Development Program, is being introduced by WaterAid Pakistan. The
"Reach Out to Asia" program of the Qatar-based Education Above All
Foundation is contributing funding to the project.
A total of 90,000 young people from communities and colleges will receive
training in climate action, leadership, and global citizenship throughout the
project's duration. After that, these young people will engage in Youth Led
Climate Actions (YLAs) in their communities, concentrating on the following
themes;
3)
Tree plantation
4)
Water conservation
5)
Renewable energy
6)
Climate education in Schools and colleges
7)
Solid waste management
Furthermore, these youth will be further involved in policy
dialogue and advocacy, participate in national and international climate
events, and showcase their successful project
8)
BACKGROUD
9) With the biggest generation of youth
in the nation's history—27% of whom are between the ages of 15 and 29—Pakistan
is the fifth-youngest country in the world. There are significant differences
in the young population based on factors such as location, gender, and
socioeconomic status. Pakistan is among the five nations most impacted by
climate change in the twenty-first century. In order to execute climate
reduction and adaptation strategies, the project will be crucial in fostering
an atmosphere that will allow youth to be fairly included in policy and
decision-making related to climate action at the local, national, and
international levels. The government, academics, CSOs, and international
platforms that support climate action, as well as enhanced youth inclusion,
leadership, and participation, will be among the key stakeholders involved.
