The Aga Khan University’s Institute for Educational Development (IED), in collaboration with NED University of Engineering & Technology, has completed phase one of a year-long project carried out in the water-stressed regions of Murree and Kotli Sattiyan in Punjab, Pakistan. The project aimed at improving Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) awareness and promoting rainwater harvesting as a climate-resilient solution in these areas. A ceremony was held at the AKU’s Karimabad campus on Wednesday, marking the closing of the initiative titled “Community Mobilisation and WASH Education under Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting in Murree District”. “This project has offered a unique opportunity to work directly with the government. In phase one, we collaborated extensively with schools and partners such as Suthra Punjab,” said Dr Fozia Parveen, representing AKU and one of the project leaders. “Our goal is to translate these insights into actionable recommendations for policymakers,” she added.
