Introduction

In order to address the transport related issues in Pakistan, the Government of Pakistan is

implementing a UNDP and GEF funded project with the title of Pakistan Sustainable

Transport Project (PAKSTRAN). The team of “PAKSTRAN” project is working to mitigate the

local environmental and other problems of the increasing traffic such as deteriorated urban

air quality and congestion. The objective of “PAKSTRAN” project is to reduce the growth of

energy consumption and related greenhouse gases emissions from Pakistan’s transport

sector. As per the project document and annual work plans project activities are being

executed by four Component Implementation Units (CIU) and a Project Management Unit

(PMU). CIU‐IUCN is responsible for the implementation of awareness raising and capacity

development outcome and in continuation. Also one key objectives of PAKSTRAN is to

promote understanding about the sustainability concepts related to sustainable urban

transport, which can influence a wider cross section of the society in Pakistan.

As part of the outcome ‘Increased public awareness and institutional capacity on sustainable

transport concepts’ it was important to engage the youth of Rawalpindi, so that they may

have a better understanding of what basically PAKSTRAN is and how it is beneficial for all.

For this purpose Fatima Jinnah Women University was approached and a poster

competition and a slogan competition were organized under the Pakistan Sustainable

Transport (PAKSTRAN) Project in FJWU, Rawalpindi. The event aimed at effectively engaging

the students and youth of Pakistan to raise the awareness related to sustainable transport.


Proceedings 1. Orientation Session of Awareness Raising Campaign

Welcome Remarks & Introduction to PAKSTRAN and awareness raising priorities –

Ms. Fauzia Bilqis Malik.

Ms. Fauzia Malik, Manager, PAKSTRAN, IUCN Islamabad Programme Office Pakistan, in her

welcome remarks gave brief overview of the PAKSTRAN Project along with other projects of

IUCN, and welcomed and thanked the faculty and students of FJWU in showing keen

interest and participation in the competition.

Ms. Fauzia also gave presentations that began with an introduction to the PAKSTRAN and

also described the Project’s activities under the approved work plan and explained what

awareness raising and capacity building activities were being planned under Outcome 4 i.e.

‘Increased public awareness and institutional capacity on sustainable transport concepts’.

The presentation was followed by screening of the documentary “The Road to

Sustainability”. There was a huge round of applause from the students at the end of

documentary showing that message has been conveyed in an appropriate manner.

The students from various disciplinarians like English, Business, Economics, B.Ed., and

Environmental Sciences participated in the event.

Ms. Ayela Ashfaq‐ Research Officer (Communication) gave briefing on the campaign

activities and schedule of the programme. During the orientation session students were

informed regarding two activities including poster and slogan/message competitions that

will be organized under the campaign. Two winners will be selected from each competition

and the winning students will be awarded with cash prizes on closing ceremony.

On the occasion Ms. Samina Bukhari‐ Registrar at Fatima Jinnah Women University

encouraged the students to participate in competition that will be a good addition to their

portfolio. She appreciated PAKSTRAN project as good civil consciousness and gave her

thought that Bus Rapid Transit BRT system must be promoted in Pakistan. She further

explained the audience why better transportation was critical in these times when

Pakistan’s urban centers are clogged with surging traffic.

2. Poster and Short Video Clip Competition

A total 13 entries for poster competition on the topic of ‘Socio‐Economic and Environmental

Aspects of Sustainable Transport in Pakistan’ were received by the participating students

from Fatima Jinnah University. After the evaluation of poster submissions the panel of Jury

members selected two posters for first and second prize.


Students also participated in slogan competition on the topic of ‘Sustainable Urban

Transport’. Fourteen entries were received. Two slogans/messages were selected by jury

members as the first and second positions.

The awareness raising campaign at

Fatima Jinnah Women University,

Rawalpindi was officially finished by

3.1 Welcome Address by Country Representative, IUCN Pakistan

Mr. Mahmood Akhtar Cheema,

Country Representative IUCN Pakistan/

Component Director PAKSTRAN

project was requested to deliver his

welcome remarks. He appreciated the

work of students and their

participation in the awareness raising

campaign competitions. Mr. Cheema

also informed the participants that

worldwide there is an increasing

awareness on the importance of sustainable urban transport, due to its relevance for

climate, air pollution, health and other related areas. This calls for extensive advocacy and

awareness raising efforts with people from different age and professional backgrounds, in

order to achieve a real change in policies, projects and impacts from sustainable urban

transportation. IUCN and PAKSTRAN project have taken many initiatives where we brought

together eminent subject experts, government officials and key stakeholders to highlight
