Pakistan is regarded as being both water scarce and water stressed; which signifies an escalating competition among the agricultural; domestic; and industrial sectors for water resources. This has led to major cities experiencing acute water shortages; deteriorating water quality; and significant declines in groundwater tables across the country. Sindh for example; the nation's primary commercial hub and its second most extensive province; encompassing 17.7% of the country's total area; is particularly vulnerable to these challenges.IFC is commissioning a study which aims at gathering data and outline key success factors to tackle the pressing challenges of the industrial water sector in two provinces (Sindh and Punjab); leveraging more private sector participation.The Consultant¡¯s scope of work consist of the following tasks: (i) analyzing the flows and the costs of water for main industrial users (ii) reviewing existing provincial strategies and policy directions for industrial water management; (iii) establishing a stakeholders map outlining the prerogatives of each actors at provincial level (iv) summarizing the water challenges and the current technical options and responses of the industrial players (v) detailing the enabling factors and the barriers for adaption; including law enforcement; financing options; technology availability; etc. and (vi) formulating scenarios for private sector mobilization highlighting the risks and the key success factors.
