Capacity Building Project - WASH akistan is a disaster prone country where in past decade natural and manmade calamities brought many sufferings in shape of human loss, casualties, displacements and loss of resources.
WASH is one of the prominent sectors interlinked with health, education, food security, nutrition and almost all areas of emergency needs. Provision of clean drinking water, proper sanitation and hygienic environment are the required standard for healthy life and more accurately survival needs of human beings.
Due to limited resources, pooreconomy, political instability and many other challenges government is not able to manage the emergencies and timely provide the assistance to disaster stricken communities/people.

Involvement of Non-Governmental Organizations is the only and alternative option to cope with the situation and assist the vulnerable population. NGOs having the resources pool like human resource, technical knowledge, logistic support and equipment can play a vital role in reducing WASH related issues in emergencies and can support the government in provision of emergency WASH support. Here it is utmost necessary to ensure that humanitarian actors working for WASH emergency are well equipped with technical expertise and human resources to cope with thesituation. Local partners have grass root level knowledge and linkages with the communities, they can timely response in emergency and can provide proper support if they are fully equipped. The initial phase of emergency is always very crucial and need prompt response, local partners being having linkages with communities and presence in the area can play vital role if capacitated in WASH emergency response.

Promotion of sustainable energy sources Oxfam Australia and Oxfam NOVIB have actively engaged with WWF GMPO over recent years in Mekong specific projects and in global initiatives that have strong relevance to Mekong development. Some examples include:
# Partnership with WWF, Cambodian Fisheries Administration, DANIDA and Oxfam; Food and Nutrition Security Vulnerability to Mainstream Hydropower Dam Development in Cambodia. (current)
# Community Fisheries Program in Bolikhamsai, Khammouan and Savannakhet, Lao PDR, to improve management of capture fisheries and conservation of aquatic  biodiversity in support of the communities rely on aquatic resources for household food security and livelihood (current)
# Sustainable Finance in Mekong Hydropower (conference)
# Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Forum # Protocol development. WWF now chairs Governance committee, Oxfam considering its ongoing membership in governance/social issues section, but Oxfam more actively engaged in using the Protocol in Mekong to engage Mekong Governments, MRC and Hydro PS in consideration of priority social and environmental issues. WWF GMP advancing more their basin wide assessment tool RSAT.
# Mainstream Dam campaigning (shared concerns re impacts of mainstream dams) but working independently to same outcomes.
# ADB engagement on food security # Oxfam lead engaging WWF GMP on dams and environmental issues.
All of the above mentioned joint activities are either directly or indirectly in relations to sustainable hydropower development.
WWF GMPO has developed four overarching strategies to guide its conservation activities and achieve its conservation goals for the period between 2011 and 2015. The second strategy of this plan is to ensure sustainablehydropower development to maintain ecosystem integrity of the Mekong river, priority tributaries and other rivers in priority landscapes.

In order to deliver this strategy, the GMPO will pursue a four-pronged approach consisting of the following. These are highly integrated parts of the same strategy and cannot be taken separately.
# Promoting more comprehensive risk assessments associated with Lower Mekong mainstem hydropower development in collaboration with key target groups (governments, financial institutions, developers and civil society).
# Promoting alternatives to mainstem hydropower dams with sustainable hydropower on selected Mekong tributaries.
# Promoting standards to ensure more sustainable planning, design and operation of hydropower projects. At the basin level, planning tools are available such as the Rapid Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Tool (RSAT) that has been developed together withthe Mekong River Commission and the Asian Development Bank. At the project level, the Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol(HSAP) that WWF International has developed  and promoted with other organizations including Oxfam in the Mekong River Basin can bepromoted
# Ensuring that WWF is engaged as a powerful environmental stakeholder in decision making on hydropower.

OGB in Pakistan GROW Program Development Oxfam Novib# Lobby and Advocacy Team has decided to invest in programme development, one of the focus this year is on strengtheningOxfam# GROW campaign . An Action Plan was developed in March 2014 # initial work involves different countries in Asia region linking local campaign strategies to national, regional and global campaign strategies of GROW. This global GROW programme will build on on-going GROW national campaigns in Asian countries, the South Asia and Southeast Asia GROW regional campaigns and advocacy work at the international level. A Core Group has been set up to deliver the Action Plan in close coordination with Oxfam Novib Regional Manager for Asia and the head of the Lobby and Advocacy Team.
The evolving programme areas are focused on 3 themes (with knowledge management as cross cutting): right to food/food justice, land governance, and climate adaptation.  So far, concept notes have been developed already defining the (1) regional (East Asia and South Asia) GROW campaign strategies targeting national governments and regional institutions (ASEAN, Asian Development Bank); (2) global Right to Food influencing work (involving 3 Asian countries), and (3) land governance  advocacy in the Mekong Region. The consultant is expected to use these regional programme ideas in helping country and regional Oxfam teams identify local/national to regional/global campaign strategies which is core to her/his task towards designing the global GROW programme framework. This  global framework (programme summary/cpncept note) will be used in contacting and exploring partnership with external donors.
