In a promising display of initiative, the Wana tehsil council, district South Waziristan, has taken a significant step forward by convening its first meeting in response to the action plan developed during their recent capacity-building training. This marks a key milestone in enhancing local governance in the newly merged district, a region that has long sought to strengthen its administrative capabilities. This proactive stance by the Wana tehsil council has set a powerful example for other councils in the region. Their commitment to implementing the action plan signals a shift toward more accountable and transparent governance, one that is more responsive to the needs of the local population.
The Wana tehsil council’s convening of this meeting represents a significant success for JICA initiated SLG-MD project and demonstrates the potential of ongoing capacity-building efforts. As local governments in the newly merged districts continue to strengthen, the success in Wana offers a blueprint for other councils to follow. With this newfound momentum, the future of local governance in South Waziristan looks brighter than ever.
