Contextual Background
In the implementation of the recommendations prescribed in Malakand Comprehensive Stabilisation and
Socioeconomic Development Strategy (2009) and Post-Crisis Needs Assessment (2010), the Government of
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has created ten new tehsil municipal administrations (TMAs) in Malakand Division, with
TMA Barikot being one of them. The purpose of this decision was to introduce administrative restructuring in
order to enable the delivery of essential municipal services to the people of these areas at their doorstep.
According to the Local Government Act 2011, local governments are responsible for the administration and
management of municipal services, which include:
Furthermore, these municipal units are also responsible to ensure parallel and quality service
delivery to their masses through:

The SWOT Analysis
To effectively cope with the challenges in providing municipal services to the people of Barikot, a detailed
SWOT assessment was carried out with respect to the TMA’s present and future aspects. As a result of the
assessment, several crucial factors came under consideration, listed below:
• The present sanitation infrastructure was poor in terms of quality and coverage
• Water supply systems catering to majority of households had been damaged due to floods
• There was unavailability of public toilet facility at Tehsil Office resulting in public’s inconvenience
• The only kutcha path leading to Barikot Graveyard remained unpaved for long
• Inadequate drainage arrangement through Barikot Bazar Road and the connecting Buner Road
caused trouble to motorists and pedestrians alike
• There was no slaughterhouse in Tehsil Barikot, posing serious health and hygiene risks
• Pedestrians had to face difficulties while strolling through Barikot Bazar due to absence of
walkways
• Private and commercial infrastructure was severely damaged as a result of the 2010 floods
• There wasn’t any one-stop consumers market which could offer everyday shopping solutions to
the people of Tehsil Barikot under one roof
• Travelling during the night, especially through the Barikot Bazar had been a hassle since there
wasn’t any street light facility
ASSESSMENT SIGNALED IMPROVEMENT!
• Shopkeepers and business owners in Barikot Bazar had illegitimately extended the
boundaries of their properties thereby causing considerable difficulties to commuters and
travelers due to consistent traffic congestions
• People who would take public transport to other cities and towns faced a lot of inconvenience
due to absence of a proper bus stops and waiting areas
• Fire fighting is one of the main functions of TMAs. However, TMA Barikot has no provision of
a fire fighting unit to respond to any such emergencies
• Local revenue generation is considered a key towards any TMA’s long-term sustainability.
One of the major challenges that TMA Barikot had to cope with upon establishment was to
address the issue of local revenue generation appropriately and promptly
WELL BEGUN IS HALF DONE!

Cleanliness Initiatives by TMA Barikot
A full scale cleanliness campaign was rolled out for three months with the support of a local NGO. As
highlighted in the previous assessment, one of the challenges that the TMA Barikot had to confront was
poor sanitation infrastructure. As a result, it was a common incidence that the waste water would freely
flow on the Main Mingora - Peshawar Road. In addition to painting a disorderly picture, the waste water
also posed health and hygiene risks to the local people. It also obstructed
free flow of traffic and commute of the people in Barikot Bazar. In order
to control this perilous situation, TMO Barikot Mr. Fazal Rabi liaised with
the representatives of several national and international NGOs having
interventions in the area. His efforts paid dividends in the shape of
an agreement between TMA Barikot and a local NGO by the name of
Environmental Protection Society (EPS), to launch 3-month cleanliness
and hygiene promotion campaign across the jurisdiction of Tehsil Barikot
between December 2010 and February 2011.

Clearing Decade Old Solid Waste and Packed Drains
in Mohallahs of Barikot Town
Men and women of all ages had to deal with the menace created by dumps of solid waste as well as
clogged drainage outlets. This was also highlighted during the assessment (elaborated earlier), that there
were heaps of solid waste dumps in and around the main Mohallahs of Barikot Town. Demonstrating
an inspirational account of community participation, a joint meeting of TMA Barikot staff and
local elders was called to streamline an action plan to deal with mounting waste scraps
and choking drainage systems. Resultantly, within an implausible time span of seven days,
these Mohallahs were totally cleared of junks and scraps. To ensure the sustainability and
continuity of efforts, these volunteers from the community were also sensitised a n d
educated on the proper methods of discarding solid waste material.

Proper Arrangements for Burial of Dead Animals Carried Out
In the past, people of Tehsil Barikot would not follow any procedure to deal with the corpses of their
animals. Usually, dead animals could be spotted around roadsides and near living places. In addition
to polluting the environment with foul smell, the decomposed bodies also threatened to contaminate
water supply channels. Responding to the nuisance in a timely manner, TMA Barikot made arrangements
to bury the deceased animals away from residential areas. Furthermore, people were informed through
loud speakers and written notices to abstain from leaving behind the bodies of their dead animals
without properly disposing them off. Ever since the notification, no such case of negligence has been
reported or observed.

Construction of Drainage System in Barikot Bazar
Rain and waste water would often overflow in Barikot Bazar and on Main GT Road since there were no
drains to accommodate and dispose these overspills. With the assistance from UNICEF, drains have been
built around the Main Road. Now the waste water from rain and sewerage runs in these drains instead
of stagnating on the highway for the convenience of vehicles and pedestrians.

Custom Designed Waste Bins Installed at Barikot Bazar
To properly collect and dispose solid waste, customised and tailored waste bins have been installed
by TMA Barikot at various points in Barikot Bazar. Not only has this facility improved visual appeal of
the main market, these waste bins have also ascertained proper removal of solid waste material. On an
average, one waste bin is looking after the garbage lot of five shops, while the owners of these shops
have taken the responsibility for its management and maintenance. This facility was made possible from
contributions by military authorities, local bank’s management, Barikot Bazar’s trade union and elites of
the area.

Site Identification for a Multipurpose Grocery Market
It has been a long-term demand of the people of Tehsil Barikot to establish a single stop commercial
market which provides easy access to their day-to-day grocery and sustenance patterns. To that effect,
the staff of TMA Barikot has identified a sufficient and suitable non-residential spot which can provide
meat, poultry, fish, fruit, vegetable and grocery shopping facilities, all under
one roof. It is also envisaged that the proposed market will provide quality
commodities on competitive prices, in addition to saving buyers time during
their routine shopping. In addition to fetching countless benefits to the traders
and consumers of Tehsil Barikot, the one-stop market will also be a revenue
generation (income) source for TMA Barikot.

Removal of Property Invasions and Encroachments
Barikot has become a trade and education corridor for the whole of District Swat wherefrom thousands
of vehicles pass through the Barikot Bazar around-the-clock. Prior to the establishment of TMA Barikot,
road blockades and traffic jams had become a routine phenomenon. This was largely due to numerous
illegal advances of properties widening out on the main road. With support from Pakistan Army, the
TMA Barikot staff launched a full scale anti-encroachment drive throughout the Barikot Bazar. To further
ease up smooth flow of traffic, public transport vehicles belonging to local stands have been confined
to designated parking spots and are strictly prohibited to stop elsewhere to pick or drop passengers.
A weekly programme has also been streamlined to keep a check on encroachments, under which
offenders have been reprimanded. Moreover, illegal advertisement banners installed in
and around Barikot Bazar have also been removed and confiscated.
