The NetherlandsThe Dutch policy priorities for development cooperation have undergone fundamental changes in 2011 based on the findings of a study commissioned by the Dutch government, entitled: more ambition and less pretention. According to this study, the Netherlands should reduce the number of its ‘partner countries’ and focus much more on sectors where it has a comparative advantage and value added: water management, food security, rule of law and reproductive health. The study also recommends putting more emphasis on investments and trade as engines for economic growth, employment and human development. Thematic Focus: The Dutch government also decided to refocus its support and services in the coming years in Pakistan on the following two sectors: 1. Human security, rule of law and human rights and 2. Promotion of trade and investment under the slogan: from aid to trade. Geographical Focus: Currently, the Dutch Embassy has projects in Malakand Division of Khyber PakhtunKhwa province only. Country Programme Strategy: For Pakistan changes in Dutch development cooperation have resulted in the decision of the Dutch government to end its current bilateral development cooperation program. Therefore, all projects in education, water & environment, and governance will be completed before 2015. This also implies that no new funding requests will be accepted by the Dutch government in the afore-mentioned sectors. The focus of the current bilateral development cooperation program is on basic education, water & environment, and governance. Programmes and Projects: The current focus of the Dutch funded projects is on education, water and environment and governance. The education portfolio consists of 8 projects, covering pre-primary, primary, secondary and technical/vocational education and training. Most projects started in response to both natural disasters (earthquake and floods) and human emergencies in conflict affected districts, in particular in Khyber PakhtunKhwa and Balochistan. Construction and rehabilitation of (girls) schools and classrooms, improvement of sanitary facilities, provision of textbooks and complementary learning materials, teacher training and school based planning and management are part and parcel of most of the projects. Specific attention is paid to learning outcomes, safety and creating a child friendly learning environment. The current water and environment portfolio consist of 13 projects and programs. Collaboration in the water and environment sectors are based on the priorities defined in the National Environmental Policy of the Government of Pakistan. The Governance portfolio consists of 7 projects and covers electoral reforms, strengthening the functioning of Parliament, supporting community and public institutions for improved governance and protecting basic human rights, enhancing peace and security through integration of women’s human rights. The support also includes training of young diplomats in international relations and diplomatic practice, and training of judges in international criminal law.
Funding Allocation: As of 2012, the Dutch government has contributed € 110.2 million to various programmes and projects in Pakistan in the following sectors:
