FATA-based think-tank launched
 Tribal representatives from different walks of life on Sunday launched a FATA-based think tank -- Qabaily Pohan -- for realization of peace, better governance and development of the Tribal Areas. The think tank would act as lead policy council for review and recommendation of policies and rules of governance conceived and developed for the tribal region. The think tank would educate and facilitate the FATA-based stakeholders on the challenges and options to realize the shattered peace and development of tribal people. The FATA steering council would also maintain policy advocacy for devising favorable policies at government and community levels for FATA development at large. The board of governors would initially comprise 10 members representing the core FATA sectors. The think tank's strength would be increased later on. Naveed Ahmad Shinwari, Chief Executive Community Appraisal and Motivation Programme (CAMP), is the pioneering chairman of the think tank.Posted by: Fred 2008-09-29 |
