A Blended Finance suggested initiative for Chitral area development.

1. Chitral Area Development
– Vision2020A vision to achieve dignified, sustainable and inclusive
development for the people of the Chitral valley
Single focus-
Managing the
River Chitral
http://tariqullahkhan.me

2. Strategic management of
Chitral district governance
**The Vision2020**
“Transforming the
River Chitral into the
most valuable asset of
the Chitrali people”

3. RIVER MANAGEMENT – THE SINGLE MOST
IMPACTFUL POLICY TARGET FOR
DISTRICT CHITRAL
http://tariqullahkhan.me
In context of sustainable development of Chitral, I urge the
government to focus on one single agenda: The reclamation of
land from the river and revival of the wasted river beds
(showtars) into cultivable land.
This can be done through a "5-year master-plan for control of
river and revival and rehabilitation of Showtars".
There are about 20 Showtars in Chitral that can double the
cultivable land in the valley if revived and rehabilitated.
