The workshop also discussed the prospect of organizing a Balochistan water jirga to raise awareness about the water crisis and mobilize all stakeholders, from tahsil and district authorities to the provincial and federal government. A new analysis of stakeholders in the water sector was launched. It was prepared by the Revival of Balochistan Water Resources project and constituted the basis of the subsequent discussions.
