(EVA-BHN)

Introduction

The district is situated at the distance of 34

kilometers from Multan across the river Chenab on

its east. It is bounded by district DG Khan on its west

and districts Bahawalpur and Rahim Yar Khan on its

south and south-west respectively1.Muzaffargarh

district has 3917910 toal population with 93 councils

and 04tehsils.There are 16 union councils in tehsil

Jatoi,14 in Ali pur and 35 in Muzaffargarh tehsil and

28 union councils in Kot Addu tehsil.

The delimitation process in Muzaffargarh district

was started in 2013. There were objections from political leads regarding the delimitation process

and commented that the process in not transparent. Following the delimitation process was

stopped due lack of mutual consent by the political parties. Sources revealed that the hidden

agenda behind delimitation process was “political objectives and interests by the current

government PML-N in order to increase “vote bank”. This was due to the influence by political

parties that delimitation process was stopped and now new delimitation process is in process.

Muzaffargarh district is one of the backwards district of south Punjab. Citizens and particularly

women’s empowerment is low in the district due to feudalistic and male dominated trends and

traditions. There are outworn cultural practices existing in the district which restricts the

opportunities of socio-economic and political empowerment of common citizens and particularly

for the vulnerable and marginalized families including in women and young girls.

6. Brief Note on Citizens Community Boards(CCBs) and CBOsiv

Community groups were came into existence through local government system in 2001.Thier

prime objective was to institutionalize citizens’ participation for improving governance and

accountability. Although, after the suspension of local government system now CCBs are not active

this may be due to lack of resources and funds. However, few of active and motivated activists

have made sure the sustainability of CCBs and local support organization (LSO) but their active

functionality is neither due to lack of finance resources and technical skills and capacities.

Strengthening Participatory Organization (SPO) has wide range of CBOs network in 10 union

councils of Muzaffargarh,Kot Addu and Jatoi tehsils in District Muzaffargarh. SPO is implementing

AAWAZ Project with the support of CCBs and LSOs and in this way CCBs and LSOs are functional.

Likewise, World Vision International (WVI) has also activated the already existing CCBs and LSOs as

well as established village organization for their development project.
