    This document summarizes an institutional cooperation project between the Geological Survey of Pakistan and the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute to conduct landslide risk assessment and develop mitigation measures. The project was funded from 2006-2009 with the objectives of mapping landslide areas, investigating two hazardous sites, evaluating mitigation options, and training Pakistani partners. While project progress was impacted by security issues, key achievements included landslide mapping, data collection at two sites, workshops, and capacity building of GSP staff. The project helped strengthen Pakistan's ability to manage landslide risks and supported post-earthquake reconstruction efforts.

    What is remaining to achieve?


    Detailed analysis of two hazardous slopes
    Evaluation and suggestion of mitigation measures for two hazardous slopes

    Workshop at the end of the Project


    The project progress was badly affected due to security situation in the country as the Norwegian counterparts didnt come for detailed investigations of the two selected hazardous slopes

    Grant received so far (both GSP and NGI)

    Rupees nine million four hundred sixty two thousand (Rs. 9, 462,000) (through Planning Division of Pakistan)

    Grant spent and balance available

    Expenditures By NGI = Rs. 4,560,000 By GSP = Rs. 4,150,304 Total = Rs. 8,710,304

    Remaining Balance Rs. 751,696

    Completion Date
    November 2010

    Major benefits to Pakistan


    The output of the project will be beneficial for rehabilitation and reconstruction activities in the 2005 Earthquake affected areas of Pakistan in general, and Jhelum Valley, AJK in particular.

    Communication system will be in much better condition along Jhelum Valley road of regional importance after taking mitigation measures for landslides.
    GSP will be in a position to strengthen their capacity in the field of assessment ,prevention, mitigation and management of the risk caused by landslide hazard. Experiences from the project will assist GSP in preparation of a strategic plan on how Pakistan should set priorities for handling the risk caused by landslides in a long term prospective.
