The interwoven link of poverty and public health presses the need of access to safe water. A range of health risks are water-borne and provision of safe drinking water to all is an immediate challenge. Infrastructure development and improved governance in the health sector are also the pressing needs of the day. We believe that vulnerability can only be addressed by building problem solving skills within communi es while coordina ng for support of such community-led solu ons. These goals are aligned with United Na ons SDG 3 and SDG 6. To advance health and WASH goals, DC will con nue to: Support and strengthen par cipa on and coopera on of all stakeholders in water, sanita on and hygiene related ac vi es and programmes, including water harves ng, desalina on, water efficiency, wastewater treatment, recycling and reuse technologies. Strengthen the capacity of all stakeholders for early warning, risk reduc on and management of na onal and global health risks and support programmes for public health protec on and access to medicines for all against communicable and non-communicable diseases that affect development. Mobilize stakeholders for interven ons to improve access to health services, par cularly for infant and maternal health. Advocate policies for enhanced regula ons and standards on drinking-water quality. Provide technical assistance to ensure that drinking water is safely and reliably supplied. Assist communi es to manage risks by preven ng contamina on of water supplies and using indigenous knowledge and prac ces for its purifica on.

Armed violence and insecurity have ravaged economies and have contributed to sexual violence, crime, and blatant disregard of human rights. We believe that advocacy of responsible social ac on can mobilize communi es against violence and cul vate a moral concern that how people ought to live. Par cipatory interven ons to strengthen rule of law and promo on of human rights are the key to curbing violence. To advance peace goals, Development Counterpart will con nue to: Support and implement interven ons in strengthening rule of law, relevant public ins tu ons for universal access to jus ce including promo on of alternate dispute resolu on mechanisms, public access to informa on, protec on of fundamental freedoms, preven on of violence, countering violent extremism and reduc on of crime.

While tradi onal no ons of development are scru nized and are being replaced, educa on's role in development is being transformed. Development Counterpart (DC) believes that educa on is the tool to promote human capability and can help advance the goals of social jus ce and economic produc vity. Educa on aligned with local values and cultures can create understanding of differences among communi es, mi gate conflict and crisis, and reduce inequality, poverty and disease. These goals are aligned with United Na ons SDG 4. To advance educa on goals, DC will con nue to: Mobilize all resources for up grada on of educa onal ins tu ons and mechanisms for improved quality of educa on and learning outcomes. Assist provincial/area governments in effec ve implementa on of ar cle 25-A of the Cons tu onal amendment pertaining to free and compulsory educa on of all children of age between 5-16 years.

Gender hierarchies are o en accepted as natural. They define rigid gender roles which tend to disadvantage women. We focus on transforming the social construct of these rela ons by addressing inequi es based on gender and the consequent unfavourable treatment of individuals. The health and economic implica ons of gender discrimina on necessitate process of developing awareness and capacity on gender issues in the communi es. Our interven ons empower girls and women to par cipate more fully in social and economic life of their communi es. These goals are aligned with United Na ons SDG 5 To advance gender goals, Development Counterpart will con nue to: Support government reforms for the protec on of women rights to economic resources, access to ownership and control over land and other forms of property, financial services, inheritance and natural resources, in accordance with na onal laws.
