Civic education empowers citizens to understand their rights and responsibilities, promoting democratic values and active participation. It's time for KPK to lead the way with Civic Education legislation that builds a brighter and more informed future for our youth. This awareness can begin with simple conversations. Community meetings, local discussions, and youth gatherings help people learn about their rights and how they can engage with public institutions.

A major reason many citizens do not exercise their rights is simply lack of information. Promoting civic awareness can help build a more informed, responsible, and active society.

Strengthening Local Governments in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: Challenges and Opportunities The Foundation of Grassroots Democracy in KP Local governments represent the closest tier of governance to the citizens. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, local bodies are constitutionally mandated under the Constitution of Pakistan (Article 140-A), which requires provinces to establish elected local governments with administrative and financial authority. Over the past decade, KP has often been cited as a province that initiated relatively progressive local government reforms compared to other provinces. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Local Government Act 2013 introduced a devolved structure with village and neighborhood councils. However, subsequent amendments and the introduction of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Local Government Act 2019 restructured the system, raising critical debates about devolution, autonomy, and fiscal authority. This newsletter explores the current structure, key challenges, reform gaps, and opportunities for strengthening local governance in KP. Evolution of Local Government in KP 1️. The 2013 Model: Grassroots Devolution The 2013 Act introduced: • Village and Neighborhood Councils • Tehsil Councils • District Councils • Direct elections at the grassroots level • Citizen-based dispute resolution mechanisms It was considered one of the most devolved local systems in Pakistan. 2️. The 2019 Reform: Centralization Concerns The 2019 Act: • Abolished district councils • Reduced certain fiscal powers • Increased provincial administrative oversight • Shifted more authority toward Tehsil governments While intended to streamline governance, critics argue that it weakened participatory mechanisms. Key Challenges Facing Local Governments in KP 1. Fiscal Dependence on the Province Despite constitutional guarantees, local governments remain financially dependent on provincial transfers. The Provincial Finance Commission (PFC) award mechanism has not been institutionalized consistently, affecting predictability in funding. Impact: • Delayed development schemes • Limited service delivery capacity • Inability to plan long-term infrastructure projects 2. Bureaucratic Control vs. Political Autonomy Administrative officers often retain substantial authority

Why Pakistan Needs Structured Civic Education Building Informed, Responsible & Active Citizens in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa The Case for Structured Civic Education in KP Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) stands at a critical juncture in Pakistan’s democratic journey. With a large youth population, a history of political mobilization, and the transformative merger of former FATA areas into KP through the 25th Constitutional Amendment, the province carries both opportunity and responsibility. Yet, despite constitutional guarantees and democratic institutions, many citizens, especially youth, lack structured knowledge of: • Their fundamental rights and obligations • Constitutional governance frameworks • Roles of provincial and federal institutions • Mechanisms of accountability and civic participation Structured civic education is no longer optional; it is essential. In institutions such as the University of Peshawar, debates and seminars reflect growing interest in governance and constitutional literacy. However, these efforts remain fragmented and project-based rather than institutionalized. A formal civic education framework in KP can: • Strengthen democratic culture • Promote social cohesion • Counter misinformation and extremism • Enhance responsible political participation • Improve public accountability Without structured civic learning, democracy risks becoming procedural rather than participatory. Why Civic Education Matters in the KP Context Post-Merger Governance & Integration The merger of the former FATA into KP created an unprecedented governance transition. While constitutional rights were extended, awareness about: • Provincial laws • Judicial systems • Local government structures • Citizen complaint mechanisms remains limited in many merged districts. Civic education can facilitate smoother institutional integration by equipping citizens with knowledge about: • How provincial legislation works • How to access public services • How to engage with local representatives Without structured learning, institutional reforms risk remaining inaccessible to citizens. Youth Bulge: Opportunity or Risk? KP has one of the youngest populations in Pakistan. Youth participation in elections and political movements

Rights come with responsibilities, and understanding them is the first step toward a strong, fair, and just society. Civic education empowers us to know our role, make informed choices, and participate actively in the democratic process. Every vote we cast, every opinion we voice, and every act of community service contributes to the progress of our nation. By staying informed, speaking up, and taking action, we not only honor our rights but also ensure that Pakistan grows into a society where justice, equality, and accountability thrive. Let’s embrace our responsibilities and shape a brighter future together.”

Women’s Participation in Politics and the Workforce in Pakistan Monthly Newsletter Editor’s Note Women constitute nearly half of Pakistan’s population, yet their participation in politics and the workforce remains disproportionately low. Despite constitutional guarantees, policy commitments, and visible success stories, structural barriers continue to limit women’s full inclusion in decision-making and economic life. This monthly newsletter takes an in-depth look at women’s political representation and economic participation in Pakistan, examining progress made, challenges faced, and the way forward. The aim is to move beyond statistics and highlight why women’s participation is not only a matter of rights, but also a prerequisite for sustainable development and democratic governance. Women in Politics: Representation and Reality Constitutional and Legal Framework The Constitution of Pakistan provides a strong formal basis for women’s political participation. Article 25 guarantees equality before law, while Articles 34 and 35 obligate the state to ensure full participation of women in national life and protect the family, mother, and child. Reserved seats for women in the National Assembly, Senate, and Provincial Assemblies were introduced to address historical exclusion and ensure minimum representation. Currently, women occupy reserved seats in legislatures through proportional representation of political parties. While this system has increased numerical presence, it has also raised questions about substantive participation, independence, and grassroots political empowerment. Representation in Parliament and Local Government Women’s representation in Pakistan’s Parliament has improved over the past two decades. However, women on general seats remain significantly underrepresented. Most women legislators enter assemblies via reserved seats rather than direct elections, reflecting persistent barriers such as limited party tickets, patriarchal norms, and financial constraints. At the local government level, women’s representation varies widely across provinces. In some areas, women councillors face restricted mobility, lack of access to development funds, and exclusion from key decision-making processes. In others, local

Newsletter: Key Highlights of Pakistan’s 27th Constitutional Amendment (2025) Passed on 13 November 2025, the 27th Constitutional Amendment has reshaped several pillars of Pakistan’s governance structure. While early speculation hinted at sweeping reforms across the NFC Award, education, health, magistracy, and the armed forces, the final amendment focused primarily on judicial restructuring, defense command reforms, and changes to provincial cabinet sizes. Caretaker Setup: New Appointment Rules A major political change comes through the amendment to Article 105, which now requires that caretaker provincial ministers be appointed on the recommendation of the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC). Previously, caretaker cabinets could be formed without the CEC’s input. Example: A caretaker health minister in a dissolved provincial assembly can no longer be appointed without the CEC’s recommendation. Creation of the Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) One of the most consequential reforms is the establishment of a new judicial body, the Federal Constitutional Court (FCC), through the insertion of Chapter 1-A. Tasked exclusively with constitutional interpretation and fundamental rights cases, the FCC alters Pakistan’s judicial hierarchy in significant ways. Composition & Appointment * Number of judges set by Parliament * Equal representation from all provinces * At least one judge from the Islamabad High Court * Judges appointed via the Judicial Commission of Pakistan (JCP) * Seniority counted from the date of joining Jurisdiction of the FCC Original jurisdiction: * Inter-governmental disputes (e.g., Punjab vs Federal Government on resource allocation) * Fundamental rights cases of national importance * Limited suo motu–type review on matters involving constitutional interpretation Appellate jurisdiction: * Appeals involving constitutional questions certified by High Courts * Appeals against High Court writ orders (Article 199) * Any further appellate powers assigned by Parliament Advisory jurisdiction: * President may seek the FCC’s interpretation on constitutional ambiguities The amendment also abolishes the constitutional benches introduced

Urban Flooding Wreaks Havoc Across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. November 2025 | Staff Report Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) witnessed yet another spell of devastating urban flooding this monsoon season, as torrential rains in August submerged streets, damaged infrastructure, and disrupted livelihoods across multiple districts. The worst-affected areas included Swat, Buner, Battagram, Mansehra, Abbottabad, and Bajaur, where flash floods swept through residential and commercial zones, leaving behind widespread destruction and loss of life. According to initial reports from the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA), dozens of people were killed and several injured as rain-triggered floods inundated low-lying areas. Thousands were displaced, with homes and shops reduced to rubble. In many urban centers, knee-deep water turned busy markets into makeshift rivers, cutting off access to hospitals and schools. In Peshawar, the provincial capital, the situation was particularly severe. Neighborhoods such as Kohati, Khyber Bazaar, Jehangirpura, and Nishtarabad were inundated after hours of continuous rain overwhelmed the city’s outdated drainage system. Stormwater channels and nullahs overflowed, flooding homes and forcing residents to seek shelter on rooftops. Locals complained that the drainage infrastructure, already weakened by years of neglect and encroachments, failed to carry the excess water away. “We’ve seen this before, but this year was worse,” said Ahmed Khan, a shopkeeper in Peshawar’s Saddar area. “Every time it rains heavily, water enters our shops because the drains are blocked. We clean up for days, and then it happens again.” Environmental experts and urban planners say the floods reflect a dangerous mix of poor urban planning, unchecked construction, and inadequate infrastructure maintenance. “The province’s cities have expanded rapidly without regard for natural drainage paths,” explained Dr. Abdul Basit, an environmental scientist based in Swat. “Encroachments on waterways, deforestation in the hills, and improper waste disposal are turning even moderate rainfall into urban disasters.” In Swat, flash floods

Bimonthly Newsletter | July 2025 Edition Subject: Pakistan’s New Budget – Stabilization or Stagnation? Dear Readers, As the dust settles on the National Assembly’s passage of the 2025–26 federal budget, one question persists in public discourse: Is this truly a budget for stabilization, or merely another exercise in stagnation? Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb unveiled a Rs 17.57 trillion spending plan in early June, aimed to reassure the International Monetary Fund (IMF), investors, and domestic constituencies. Apparently, the budget seems disciplined: targeted GDP growth of 4.2%, a fiscal deficit capped at 3.9% of GDP, and ambitious revenue collection of Rs 13 trillion. Yet, behind the glossy presentation lies an uneasy reality. The budget is pulled in competing directions, geopolitical pressures, IMF constraints, debt obligations, and public frustration. The government has marketed it as a roadmap toward economic recovery, but critics argue it risks further burdening ordinary Pakistanis while leaving structural problems unresolved. Let us breakdown the numbers, sector by sector, to see what this budget really means. 1. Macroeconomic Framework – Stability or Strain? The government projects 4.2% GDP growth, banking on modest recovery in agriculture, manufacturing, and services. Inflation is expected to average 11%, still high for households already battered by soaring food and utility prices. The fiscal deficit target of 3.9% of GDP is tighter than last year’s 5.9%, largely due to IMF demands. But this narrowing depends heavily on tax revenues that may prove difficult to collect in a sluggish economy. The tax-to-GDP ratio is projected to rise to 13.5%, still far below than regional peers like India (17–18%) or Bangladesh (10–11%). Without widening the tax net to include agriculture, real estate, and the informal economy, Pakistan risks falling into the same cycle of overburdening existing taxpayers while sparing elites. 2. Revenue and Taxation – Cosmetic or Concrete?

Climate Watch Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bimonthly Newsletter – August 2025 Edition From the Editor’s Desk Dear Readers, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with its snow-capped peaks, rushing rivers, and fertile valleys, has always been a land of abundance. But today, the very foundations of this natural wealth are under severe threat. Climate change is no longer a future possibility; it is a lived experience unfolding across our towns, villages, and fields. As we bring you this issue of ‘’Climate Watch Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, our goal is simple: to highlight the changes we are witnessing, to amplify the voices of those most affected, and to call for action before it’s too late. The Alarming Reality in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Over the last decade, climate patterns in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have shifted dramatically: • Rising Temperatures: Summers are hotter than ever, with Peshawar recording temperatures above 45°C on multiple days this year. High-altitude areas that once remained cool are now experiencing unusual heat waves. • Glacial Melting: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is home to a large share of Pakistan’s glaciers, many of which are retreating at alarming rates. Faster melting means more flash floods in the short term and serious water shortages in the future. • Floods and Droughts: From the devastating 2010 floods to the recent flash floods in Chitral and Swat, water disasters have become frequent. At the same time, southern districts like Karak and D.I. Khan face prolonged droughts. • Agricultural Struggles: Farmers complain of unpredictable rainfall and declining yields of wheat, maize, and fruit crops. Livestock, too, is under stress due to water shortages. The climate crisis in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is not uniform—it manifests as ‘’too much water in the north and too little in the south’’. Stories from the Ground • “The river has changed its course. Where my grandfather planted wheat, the water now flows.
