SPCS IV
The history of SPCS implementation comprises
three phases i.e. the first phase (1992-95) was the strategy
formulation phase, the 2nd one (1995-98) was the transition
to implementation phase and the 3rd phase (1998-2001) was
the Operationalization of SPCS through institutional straightening
and capacity building of partner organizations. The final
and exit phase of support to SPCS (2001-2004), aims at building
necessary institutional and human capacities to foster implementation
of SPCS, mainstream environmental and sustainable development
concerns in development planning and implementation by various
stakeholders in NWFP and to increase ownership of SPCS amongst
the population and institutions of the province through the
following sub-objectives.
- Facilitating, reforming & strengthening
of key institutions (structures/systems/procedures/policies

of organization of the above institutions
