Methodology A three day workshop will be organized for the journalists from India and Pakistan in Islamabad. The workshop will be facilitated by international and national trainers and experts. A number of subject specialists from the government, NGOs and civil society will be invited to give presentations on water issues. Through an interactive participatory learning approach, the participants will be sensitized on various issues. Activities include interactive talks/discussions, presentations, group work, case studies, a video documentary and a field visit to Murree, to the Patriata area where the UNDP's GEF small grants programme has a project on conservation of rainwater and planting of fruit trees (climate change mitigation). Patriata was also the site of the proposed New Murree Project which was successfully halted by environmental lobbying since the Patriata area is a reserve forest and catchment area. This makes it a good case study - how NGOs, the Pakistani media and the judiciary came together to halt a development project that would have disrupted freshwater supply downstream. |
