The Pakistan Environment Programme (PEP) partners expect that the Technical Assistance (TA)
provided by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) will outline an actual
system for assessing progress toward sustainable development. The system for measuring progress
in the implementation of the Sarhad Province Conservation Strategy (SPCS) is being applied to the
North West Frontier Province (NWFP) as a pilot project. Monitoring the implementation of the
National Conservation Strategy (NCS) is a secondary goal. Each of these efforts is seen as steps to the more general end of introducing sustainable development reporting on a national scale.
