Social Mobilization: NRSPs Vision for Rural Development

NRSP works to release the potential abilities, skills and knowledge of rural men and women, to enable them to articulate their aspirations and to effectively marshal the resources they need to meet their identified needs. The purpose is poverty alleviation enabling people to break the cycle of poverty, which begins with lack of opportunity, extends to the well-known miseries of economic and nutritional poverty and leads new generations to endure the same conditions. The process is social mobilization - bringing people together on new terms for a common purpose. The conceptual tools are social guidance (recruiting local men and women who will take on a leadership role), advocacy, capacity building and awareness raising. The programmatic tools are training, support to institutions, micro-credit, infrastructure development, natural resource management and productive linkages. NRSPs vision is manifested in expanded opportunities for income-generation; community schools which provide quality primary education, community owned and managed infrastructure schemes, improved agricultural productivity and higher returns for labour and so on. From the widest perspective the vision is manifested as the first stage of a transformation of civil society. Social Mobilization, the core of NRSPs philosophy Social mobilization is based on acknowledging that the community is the center of all development activities. It is only informed and engaged community members who can plan and undertake sustainable grass roots development. NRSP utilizes the following steps in mobilizing rural men and women: 1. Programme introduction: The process of social mobilization in a new Union Council begins with a series of dialogues with community members, explaining the purpose of the organization and the mutual obligations which CO formation entails. These dialogues: Help to establish rapport and build trust between the NRSP Social Organizers and the villagers. Enable potential CO members to identify the socio-economic and infrastructural opportunities available in their communities. Every effort is made to include both men's and women's perspectives as the dialogues proceed. Help identify potential areas of effective intervention, as defined by the men and women of the community. Once identified, the opportunities are grouped into sector- specific categories. 2. Situation analysis: As part of the entry process, the Social Organizer completes a 'Situation Analysis', which covers demographic trends, economic data (household income, agricultural and other earnings), employment data, the institutions (schools, hospitals etc.) found in the area, the amount and condition of land, health and education facilities and physical infrastructure and the state of the agricultural economy. The situation analysis utilizes primary and secondary sources (interviews, Census data, etc.) and is valuable as a benchmark, as a tool for entry level planning and for eventual programme expansion. 3. CO Formation: The NRSP staff ask people to form Community Organizations (COs) which will function as a platform for development. Each CO then elects a President and a Manager. The NRSP staff and the CO members identify an Activist from amongst the CO members. 4. Poverty Profile: It is the process in which villagers are identified according to their own definitions of economic wellbeing. This gives NRSP a good idea of the scale of poverty in the area and enables NRSP to match its intended interventions with local needs. The categories are: Khushal: Well to do Guzara accha ho jata hai: Better off Guzara bhot mushkil se hota hai: Very poor Guzara mushkil se hota hai: Poor Dusroon ke sahare zinda rehte hain: Destitute. 5. Micro investment plans: Once a CO has been formed, the Social Organizers help the members to draw up micro-investment plans (MIPs). Established at three levels, household, group and the village, these help the CO members to identify their economic needs in concrete terms and to plan ways to improve their economic standing.

Gender and Development

Gender Mainstreaming Policy NRSPs Board of Directors approved the Gender Mainstreaming Policy in its 36th meeting on Sep 28, 2004 and advised NRSP to operationalize the Policy immediately. The Policy document evolved out of serious deliberations by the NRSP management. The draft document was prepared on the basis of organizational experience spread over 12 years. Before presenting it to the Board of Directors it was widely shared with the regional and sectoral professionals of NRSP. The draft was revised several times to attain a widely shared and owned document incorporating feedback and comments received as a result of regional consultations. NRSPs Vision of Gender Mainstreaming NRSP has identified gender as a crosscutting theme. This requires that gender be integrated into policy planning, programming, implementation and evaluation of activities. NRSP believes that its efforts to reduce poverty cannot achieve their full potential unless the organization addresses the constraints that limit the capabilities of men and women to improve their standard of living and quality of life. Key aspects of this are: 1) Recognizing and harnessing the full potential of rural men and women 2) Increasing their productive capacity 3) Reducing barriers, which limit mens and womens participation in society. NRSP acknowledges Gender Mainstreaming a means of consciously raising the visibility and support to womens contributions to poverty alleviation. This is different from assuming that women will benefit equally from gender- neutral development intervention. The Guiding Principles of NRSPs Gender Policy are as follows: Gender Integration: NRSP realizes that addressing gender inequality as a crosscutting theme requires that womens views, perceptions, needs and aspirations shape the development agenda as much as those of men. Diversity and Intersection: Gender equality requires recognition that every policy, program and project affects women and men differently. Partnership between men and women: Partnership between men and women is inevitable to enlarge choices. It involves working with men and women to bring about changes in attitudes, behavior, roles and responsibilities at home, in the workplaces, communities and the society at large. Empowerment: Empowerment enables women and men to identify unequal power relations and unequal access to and control over resources and the implications of unequal power relations for a prosperous society. Empowerment begins with consciousness raising and leads to self-realization. Gender Equality/Equity: an effort to promote sustainable humane development Achieving gender equality does not mean that women become the same as men. Rather, it is a conscious effort to ensure that ones rights or opportunities do not depend on being male or female. NRSP is aware that its efforts and contributions to poverty reduction must be coupled with actions to eliminate gender inequalities in order to promote sustainable humane development. The Goal and Objectives of NRSPs Gender Mainstreaming Policy: to support the achievement of humane governance in order to reduce poverty and ensure sustainable humane development. From this goal, NRSP derives the following Objectives: To integrate gender equality concerns into policies, planning, programming, implementation and evaluation of activities in all areas. To develop institutional mechanisms (organizational structures, culture) and sector specific strategies to carry forward the gender integration process. To establish linkages with other RSPs, and governmental and non- governmental organizations striving to achieve gender equality.

Organisational Gender Diagnosis by Oxfam Novib of NRSP Regional, sector heads, MER and HR Professionals were invited for a collaborative institutional workshop on the 29th and 30th of January 2008 to incorporate their input, in terms of of approach and methodology. The above mentioned workshop is part of an Organisational Gender Diagnosis being carried out by Oxfam Novib of its partner organizations. Since all its EQ projects are phasing out therefore before winding up its EQ projects and activities, Oxfam Novib has planned a quick assessment of the gender related achievements of its partner organisations during this period. The purpose is to find out about ...What is achieved and what needs to be done? The main objective of this exercise will be to find out what kind of support systems and mechanisms are in place for mainstreaming gender within the organisations, and whether or not these systems are in practice. Different Gender Analytical tools to identify weak and strong areas will be used, in order to achieve the ultimate objective of acquiring gender mainstreaming at all levels.(The resource persons for this workshop were Shama Dossa and the Gender Focal Person Oxfam Novib) the workshops were coordinated by Gender & Development Unit at the NRSP Head Office Level. (Gender audit carried by NRSP GAD and was also shared with Oxfam Novib along with other necessary material e.g TheGender Mainstreaming Policy etc. Women Inclusion Interventions After doing a thorough analysis of trends region wise and sector wise, reviews of the Gender Mainstreaming Policy of NRSP, projects and programme activities, field visits of all the regions and carrying out a gender analysis, the conclusion was reached that interventions being carried out currently in NRSPs programme and project areas i.e adult literacy, teacher training, TBAs, enterprise development etc. are well thought out, realistic and need based. Therefore a work plan and budget was submitted to the CEO NRSP which was approved instantly. A budget of more than 59 million was approved to carry out the above mentioned interventions. Building in house capacity of gender trainers in RSPs. RSPN initiated a Training of Trainers (ToT) from Sep2008. It was a 6 month long training programme where NRSP, SRSP and PRSP staff (selected) participated. The ToT module was designed by a consultant of International repute and the ToT went through different stages, which were: Sept 1. Step 2. 7- day gender training (on different concepts of gender and development). 2- day gender training facilitated by ShIzreh for SRSP core staff observed by the ToT participants from SRSP. Step 3. 2-day training by ShIzreh for NRSP regional and district managers observed by the ToT participants from NRSP. Step 4. 2-day training by each ToT groups (RSP wise) observed by Shazreh Hussain accompanied with feed back. 3 men and 1 woman was nominated from NRSP.
The above mentioned Training of Trainers has enabled NRSP to have the inhouse capacity to train its staff according to international standards. The selection of male trainers was a conscience effort by the GAD Section (NRSP Head Office) in order to render the training more effective by creating ownership by the men staff and community members.

Microfinance & Enterprise Development Programme

The Community Organizations (COs) fostered by NRSP prepare Micro Investment Plans. Members prepare household-level MIPs and the CO prepares a group Micro Investment Plan. An analysis of the MIPs shows that while the COs as grassroots institutions are generally interested in carrying out social sector projects such as schools, roads, and drinking water and sanitation schemes, individual members are most interested in carrying out income-enhancing activities. This usually requires training or financial capital sometimes both to begin or expand an income generating activity. NRSP has created a programme of skills enhancement and a credit line to meet these householdlevel needs. MEDP primary role is to ensure that the credit funds are available to the poor households through the COs. The sections other major responsibilities include developing information systems that help assess the efficiency, out-reach capability, repayment behaviors and financial viability of the programme. Credit Package & Ceiling NRSP does not have a preconceived package, although credit is provided only for productive activities. This encourages the COs to utilize natural resources and human capital. These productive activities typically include: Agricultural inputs; seeds, fertilizer, pesticide etc. Livestock Small business/enterprise development Lift irrigation, land-leveling and other productive infrastructure Based on its extensive experience NRSP regulates the credit ceiling for different activities and different Regions. Thus the ceiling for the first time borrower is Rs. 10,000. However, the Regions are allowed to set different ceilings for different areas and COs to a maximum of Rs. 30,000. NRSP attempts to keep the credit size at the lowest possible limit so that the credit programme covers the maximum number of poor households and the risk to those households is minimized. Credit Appraisal. Because the COs are primarily responsible for assessing the character of intended borrowers, it is the CO which assesses the credit worthiness of CO members applying for a loan. The CO submits the loan application to NRSP in the form of a Resolution, which must be signed by at least 75% of the CO members. The CO undertakes the responsibility of verifying the proper utilization of the loan and its repayment. The SOs appraises the credit requests and July seek help from other professional staff, for example Engineers, if the Resolution requires a technical feasibility study. Collateral. NRSP extends micro credit to economically marginal men and women who have no material collateral. The COs, however, exert social pressure in case of loan default. Because each loan request is signed by at least 75% of the CO members, each member acts as a guarantor for all other members. To facilitate the COs and their members in the repayment of their loans in difficult times, NRSP encourages the COs to practice regular savings before requesting a loan. However, to ensure that this does not discourage the poorest CO members, the ceilings for mandatory savings are flexible. Saving and Internal Lending. The habit of saving is a prerequisite for CO membership, as is regular attendance in the fortnightly meetings. Once the members savings (which are deposited in a bank account in the name of the CO) reach a substantial amount, the process of internal lending begins with the unanimous will of the CO. The CO then forms a credit committee, which appraises the loan requests. The CO extends credit to its members from its saving pool on its own terms and conditions. NRSP trains the COs in accounting and financial management. Enterprise Development. NRSP facilitates the COs in developing new enterprises and improving existing ones through its Vocational Training Programme (VTP) and Natural Resource Management Programme. As part of the VTP, the CO members are trained in business development and financial management.

Separation of the Micro Credit Programme from Social Mobilization. In order to improve the quality of COs and the loan portfolio, it was decided in 2003 to make structural changes in the micro credit assessment, delivery and recovery model. A new social mobilization and credit delivery scheme has been introduced. Finalised after a successful pilot test, its principles are derived from the Urban Poverty Alleviation Programme (UPAP). Credit Appraisal in the New Model. The appraisal process in the new model focuses on assessing the character and trustworthiness of intended clients. Previously, NRSPs appraisal process focused primarily on the financial feasibility of the proposed activity and the COs guarantee. However, NRSP has learned from experience that the character of a client plays a greater role in his or her repayment performance than his or her ability to generate a profit from the business or activity for which the loan is taken. Character assessment includes whether the client is honest and responsible, as well as confirmation of his or her whereabouts. Two independent appraisals are conducted. The Field Worker (FW) collects CO Resolutions for rural credit in the CO meeting and then carries out an appraisal at the home of the intended client. This is called Social Appraisal because it focuses on confirming the whereabouts of the client and on his or her character. The second appraisal, referred to as a Technical Appraisal, is done by the Credit Officer, who confirms the accuracy of all the information collected by the Field Worker during the Social Appraisal. The Credit Officer also checks the financial viability of the proposed activity. The Credit Officer gets help from the Engineer or other specialists such as the enterprise development staff, if required. In both appraisals, however, the focus remains on the assessment of the potential clients behavior and reputation for honesty. This double appraisal at the household level helps the NRSP staff get to know the borrower and lets his or her family members know about the clients obligations to NRSP. The FW is not authorized to reject a credit application on his/her own. That decision lies with the Senior Credit Officer (SCO). If the Field Worker and Credit Officer disagree, the SCO makes the decision, after hearing both opinions. Principles of Recovery Monitoring. Recovery monitoring is the most important process in the new system. The new system requires daily recovery planning. This requires the preparation of daily recovery targets based on the due date of each installment. In the new model, the SCOs primary duty is to develop daily monitoring reports and to ensure that a client who does not pay his or her installment on time is reminded of the obligation to repay. It is the SCOs responsibility to focus on finding ways and means of ensuring timely recovery. Recovering amounts due is the responsibility of the credit unit and they should make every effort to ensure payment. They must also understand clearly they are not allowed to link the recovery of credit with assessments of the quality of the COs. Characteristics of Credit Staff. The model recognizes the importance of on-the-job training and monitoring to build staff capacity. The FWs are the front line workers responsible for maintaining close contact with the COs and their members. This requires a large number of honest and responsible FWs who can meet all the COs and their members. The FWs must be a local, trustworthy person. The Credit Officer must guide the FWs. The SCO must be able to train and monitor a large cadre of FWs and Credit Officers. In the new model, once a Social Organizer helps people to form a CO, and a credit request is initiated, the credit process from that point on is in the hands of the Credit Officer and the CO and its members. This means that the Social Organizer is free to concentrate on other activities, including health and education, training and natural resource management, as the CO requires. Village Branches. So that FWs have frequent contact with community members, one-room Village Branches (VBs) are established by the SCO at appropriate locations, typically at the centre of one or more Union Councils. The location and number of VBs in a Union Council is determined by the size and proximity of the potential clientele. The VB is the smallest administrative unit responsible for coordinating with the COs and their members on a daily basis. It is also a recovery-collection hub. The FWs and the Credit Officer keep the VB open during office hours according to a fixed schedule, which is posted in the office. According to this schedule, the FWs allocates time for CO meetings, recovery follow up, and appraisals and recovery collection. The Credit Officer monitors the FW in this respect. The SCO arranges periodic surprise visits to ensure proper office procedures and compliance with the agreed schedule. The FWs degree of mobility depends on the type of terrain and the settlement pattern. In areas with high population density, the FW visits COs

As of July 2011
and clients on foot, and in areas where the population is scattered the FW is provided with a motorcycle. Women FWs work only in areas that have a high population density. For areas with smaller populations, the Social Organizers will continue providing credit services. Women credit officers will have vehicles at their disposal to ensure they reach far flung areas, except in densely populated areas, where they will travel on foot. Application of the New Model Currently, the new model is operating in the Hyderabad, Badin, Mardan, Malakand and Rawalpindi Regions. Current reports are showing the following outcomes: the entire staff has become more authorized on doing the assigned work in a planned manner the credit staff is implementing all credit activities systematically the social organization process has accelerated the SOs do not feel overworked despite forming a larger number of COs disbursements have increased considerably repayments have improved significantly and all new loans are showing 100% recovery It is important to note that the changes are in the management structure only: the principles and the structure of the credit programme remain the same. For example, the service charge, repayment schedules and credit ceilings are the same. Credit only goes to individuals, as is the case in the existing programme. The CO still initiates the request for credit and its members benefit from it. The concept of social pressure through group formation still prevails, because the credit is given on the recommendation of the CO, which also undertakes the responsibility for repayment. Principles of the New Credit System. A set of principles embodies internal checks and balances to ensure that the new model complies with established policies and procedures. These principles and procedures mean that the Rural Credit programme will be fully independent of social mobilization. Internal Controls. In the new set up, the Credit MIS is not accessible to Credit Officers or Field Workers. The accounting staff reports directly to the Regional General Manager and to Finance and Accounts at the head office. However, in order to ensure the correct posting of data in the MIS, the Credit Officers are authorized to check the daily posting from the receipts. The other principles are: that CO formation and credit delivery are two distinct processes which must take place independently of each other. that only those COs should have access to the rural credit programme which are recognized by the Rural Credit section as viable institutions. For this purpose, the Rural Credit section will register the COs with NRSP, rather than the person who formed the CO. that the credit should always reach the intended client, who must acknowledge receipt of credit from NRSP that the staff responsible for credit should be able to focus exclusively on credit operations and should be able to implement a strategy that leads to 100%, on-time recovery that the organizational structure, such as location of offices and staffing patterns, should make it possible to pursue clients effectively that the entire process should be more transparent that all credit disbursement and recovery activities should be implemented in a planned manner that the system should allow performance-evaluation of staff on the basis of predefined criteria. For example, the SOs will be evaluated on the quality and performance of the COs they form, and the credit staff on the credit outreach and the quality of the loan portfolio.

Micro Health Insurance Program

General The Hospital and Accidental Death insurance scheme, launched in November 2005 in partnership with the Adamjee Insurance Company, was designed for the RSPs CO members. The terms and conditions of the insurance scheme were negotiated by RSPN. According to the agreement, NRSP collects the premium and the insurance claims from its CO members and submits them to Adamjee, which then processes the claims and makes payments to the insured CO members through NRSP. The health insurance compensation has an upper limit of Rs. 25,000, which includes in-patient hospitalization expenses incurred due to illness or accidental injury. The life insurance policy, which also has ceiling of Rs. 25,000, is applicable in case of death or permanent disablement resulting from accidental bodily injury. Each client pays an annual fee of Rs. 250 (including a Rs 42 service charge) and is limited to the individual policy holder (i.e. it does not extend to other family members). At the end of first year of micro insurance programme NRSP analyzed the insurance programme, based on the feedback from the field teams. The analysis showed that the majority of the claims were for less than Rs 15,000. The revised programme, designed to increase client coverage, has the following features: the cost of the premium has been reduced to Rs 100 the coverage includes funeral expenses for death from natural causes. Revised Insurance Agreement: Linking the hospitalization and accidental death insurance with the micro credit programme NRSP signed a direct agreement with Adamjee Insurance Company in January, 2006.

In addition to this an additional grant up to Rs. 15,000 in case of natural death of loan client as safety for the outstanding credit balance and funeral charges. Since July 2008 child birth is also covered in the policy having a sub limit of Rs 7500/All NRSP loan clients between 18 and 65 years are eligible for this insurance policy.

Urban Poverty Alleviation Project (UPAP)

UPAP began its operations in Sep 1996 in the urban and peri-urban areas of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Since then it has been testing various strategies and adopting the best ones to cope with the field realities. Having successfully established UPAP as a micro credit delivery model, NRSP decided to initiate UPAP operations in some of Pakistans major cities. The first expansions were in Faisalabad and Karachi in 2002. The programme has since expanded to Multan. UPAP establishes low cost settlement offices and disburses credit to women using the solidarity group method. Three or more women can form a group. The credit facility can be used for family enterprises. Men can also use the facility but they must be family members whose income comes into the hands of the borrowers. This strategy saved UPAP from any major incidents of fraud or default. Alongside the solidarity group approach UPAP also adopted the individual approach on the pattern of the Orangi Pilot Project to cater to the needs of small-scale entrepreneurs and manufacturers who do not live in areas where there is a UPAP settlement office. For expansion purposes UPAP has found the solidarity group approach more successful. Women and men living with their families are generally trustworthy. The experience of UPAP reveals people living in its operation areas have both noble and wicked tendencies and either of them is likely to come up depending upon circumstances. It is however noteworthy that only a small minority exists that remained noble or wicked under all circumstances. Thus, UPAP believes any credit disbursement strategy is likely to succeed which ensures effective supervision and pursuance of borrowers. This can be done through regular monitoring and by developing a relationship of respect with the community. The recovery rate of UPAP so far testifies to this belief. The Objectives of UPAP are: To improve the quality of life of disadvantaged and low income people To develop an indigenous model of poverty alleviation in the urban areas of Pakistan To provide the urban poor, focusing on women but not excluding men, with access to credit To alleviate poverty of low-income households by organizing women, encouraging them to save and increasing their access to resources through credit To create income generating self-employment opportunities for women To explore the possibility of establishing a specialized bank based on the experience of the pilot project CREDIT DISBURSEMENT APPROACHES Solidarity Group Three or more like-minded women with comparable social and economic conditions form a group. Once a group is formed it meets weekly. During the meeting each group member saves an amount, through cutting her expenditures, equivalent to the weekly recovery installment of the credit amount that she intends to borrow. After five weeks the weekly saving amount is given to one of the members through a draw. Thereafter this process continues. Four weeks after group formation credit is disbursed to one of the women. After the group has ensured that this woman has utilized the credit properly credit is disbursed to another woman. Usually, in each weekly meeting the credit is disbursed to the next member. Individual: Any micro level manufacturer living only where UPAPs settlement office does not exist can take credit on the personal guarantee of an honest and competent client of UPAP. UPAP PROGRAMME MONITORING UPAP has developed an efficient monitoring system. Its MIS developed in Oracle generates number of reports revealing both disbursement and recovery positions on a daily and monthly basis. Monthly staff meetings and daily diary are a regular feature of UPAPs monitoring system. They help bring the staff on the same wavelength regarding programme issues.

Physical Infrastructure and Technology Development (PITD)

NRSPs Physical Infrastructure and Technology Development (PITD) section became operational by the end of 1993. Its purpose is to offer guidance to the COs in technical and construction related initiatives. NRSP acts as an intermediary and facilitates linkages of the COs with donor agencies, including Government Departments, involved in the provision of infrastructure services in rural areas. The Objectives of this section are to: Involve local community members in the identification, planning, execution and monitoring of physical infrastructure schemes. Enhance capacity of local community. Make efficient and productive use of local resources. Demonstrate the acquired skills and capacities of the community to other agencies. Create a sense of ownership and responsibility. Facilitate the process of community needs assessment and prioritization. Develop a transparent system during the execution of infrastructure schemes. Create effective linkages between communities and other agencies. Introduce low cost technologies. PITD Procedures 1. Survey of priority schemes As part of the Micro Planning exercise, the Community Organizations (COs) identify those village activities which they are willing and able to implement. These activities include infrastructure projects. NRSP engineering staff attends the general body meetings of the COs and holds detailed discussions in order to assess the capacity of COs to implement the schemes they have identified as necessary. NRSP ensures that the community identifies those schemes, which it has the capacity to implement and monitor. NRSP engineers conduct feasibility surveys and social and technical appraisals in collaboration with the local community. 2. Assessment of Schemes for Implementation In addition to assessing the technical aspect of a scheme, a social feasibility assessment is also done to ascertain the ability of CO to resolve conflicts, if any, before the initiation of the scheme. 3. Cost Estimation Cost estimates for the schemes are prepared jointly by community members and NRSP engineers according to the market rates of labour and material needed. The NRSP Social Organizer and Engineer mobilize the community for resource generation by themselves. In some cases, the communities opt to fund schemes from their own savings, supplemented by credit from NRSP. 4. Preparation of Portfolio of Schemes and Financial Support PITD prepares a portfolio of all the schemes that are identified as priority community projects. The NRSP management takes responsibility for creating linkages or mobilizing resources for the community to implement these projects. When NRSP is able to mobilize the necessary financial resources or to create linkages with the concerned government and/or private developmental organizations a second round of dialogue is carried out with the COs to see if the schemes for which funding is available still rank as the communitys priorities. The CO is then informed in the meetings whether the scheme merits financial assistance. If it does, the CO is informed about the source, type and conditions of financial and technical assistance. The amount of contribution and commitment from donors and the COs are equally important and are therefore carefully discussed during the meetings.

National Programme for Improvement of Watercourses in Pakistan: The Punjab Component In July 2004, the Government of Pakistan launched 5-year National Programme for improvement of water courses in Pakistan, allocating more than Rs.66 billion to line 86,003 watercourses. Of these 86,003 watercourses, 30,000 are located in Punjab. To achieve this, the Government of Punjab, through its Agriculture Department, engaged PRSP and NRSP to line 2,000 watercourses (bricks and cement). This includes operational costs @9.63% of the grant from the Government of Punjab in 28 Districts (19 PRSP Districts and 9 NRSP Districts). Of these 2,000 watercourses, a minimum of 1,600 were to be lined in canalirrigated areas and a maximum 400 in rain-fed areas of these Districts. Based on the number of unlined watercourses located in the operating Districts of PRSP and NRSP, it was agreed that in canal-irrigated areas, PRSP would undertake to line 916 (57%) of the watercourses and NRSP would be responsible for 684 (43%). In the rain-fed areas, both will make efforts to meet the target. Later it was also agreed among Government of Punjab Department of Agriculture, PRSP and NRSP that: a) PRSP and NRSP would line another 1,000 watercourses in the remaining Districts (300 in 3 PRSP Districts and 700 in 4 NRSP Districts) and b) the Department of Agriculture will provide funds to PRSP/NRSP for undertaking more than these Projects. The work of lining watercourses started in Sep2004. Overall, NRSP has to complete a minimum of 684 schemes in canal-irrigated areas and 700 in rain-fed areas over four years: Sep2004 Sep 2008. Approximately 400,000 rural people will benefit from the Projects knowledge sharing and substantial economic, financial and social inputs. It has been experienced that watercourse improvement results in reduction of water losses up to 40%, gain in delivery efficiency to the tune of 38.5%, enhancement of cropping intensity by nearly 18%, and an overall increase in crop yields by 20%. The Project will work to establish one Water Users Association (WUA) around each watercourse. All Project committees and leadership established and trained for the WUAs will ensure that women and the poor, preferably from the same village, participate in the initiative. The Project will ensure the active involvement of the members of the WUAs in the overall agricultural development. Farmers and irrigators interests shall be enhanced by ensuring 80% to 85% attendance in the meetings and training programmes, and by ensuring that the benefits of the services and training courses to be delivered through this project reach 100% of the project beneficiaries.

Social and Human Protection Sector

NRSP aims to reach and serve the poorest and most vulnerable community members and to bring them into the mainstream of Rural Support Programme development. NRSP is committed to advocacy and action focussed on the right to social protection, based on the assumption that the destitute and the vulnerable have the right to have their basic needs met; to be protected from hazardous working conditions, the right to a good education, the right to earn a decent living, the right to decent shelter and the right to protection from physical and economic exploitation and violence. If those needing social protection are children, they have the right to develop to their fullest potential, in preparation for lifelong well-being. These assumptions are in line with NRSPs mandate, as articulated in the Articles of Association. Social protection consists of policies, programmes and advocacy for the poorest and most vulnerable members of society; i.e. those requiring protection because they are unable to speak or act on their own behalf and those least likely to recover from social and economic shocks. Loss of the major breadwinner, loss of a parent, single parent households, women headed households, a natural disaster and or the loss of livelihoods due to climatic and ecological factors and absence of any assistance, big family size slums dwellers, nomads, migrants (internal and external) these are the factors which result in the form of illiteracy, ignorance, drug addiction wide scale unemployment and violation of human rights with the child and women rights. Vulnerability affects everyone but is greater for the poor who face large risks from shocks to their income-earning capacity due to natural and man-made disasters, crime and violence, unemployment, old age, exclusion and discrimination, gender inequality. Poverty cannot be described it can only be felt. One knows more about poverty when he is hungry and cannot purchase food, he and his children want new clothes but they cant purchase it because of low income, hes sick and doesnt have money to have medicine, he wants to send his children to school but cant bear educational expenditures. etc. In short, the poor need to feel empowered with skills and voices to overcome their fear of isolation.1 The ADB (2003) defines ADB as encompassing labor markets, social insurance, social assistance, micro-insurance schemes, and child protection. Although social protection is congruent with NRSPs mandate, it can be distinguished from a development programme insofar as it (a) identifies and reaches only the poorest and most vulnerable and (b) does not require a financial contribution from the participant. This lack of requirement for a financial contribution does not preclude other kinds of contribution, such as, for example, voluntary contributions of time and knowledge. Nor does it preclude contributions some time after the recipient has been involved in a programme and is deemed to be able to contribute. Ideally, social protection in the context of development (as distinct from disaster or conflict situations) should enable some people (whether direct beneficiaries of a social protection programme or their family members) to eventually enter NRSPs mainstream poverty reduction and development programme. In defining eligibility for social protection at NRSP, the first principle is that of no exclusion. The only exception would be anyone engaged in practices that harm others. Indicators related to income and capacities in relation to economic will need to be developed. Anyone under 18 and over 65 would be eligible. Social protection must be understood as holistic and comprehensive. Social protection needs encompass a spectrum of possible interventions. The most vulnerable families typically have material, nutritional and social needs. Many have been stigmatized because of their poverty and dependence. Many will require systematic and fairly intensive guidance and support, if they are to become independent and to re-enter the socio-economic mainstream. NRSPs social mobilization principle and practices will provide the best possible means of implementing a successful social protection programme. Social protection needs are specific to stage in the life cycle. The needs of children are different from those of competent adults, and different again from those of the elderly who find themselves without caregivers. It will be necessary to ensure that dependence on safety nets is not permanent, for those able to graduate from NRSPs social protection programmes. For those who

are able to graduate, benchmarks for the various stages of participation (full support, economic interventions, training programmes, degrees of independence, etc.) will have to be established. It is assumed that everyone in an extremely poor and vulnerable household will need some help. The family, then, should be treated as a unit, and the specific needs of its members be addressed. Projects under the Program 1. Project: Socio Economic Development of the destitute and neglected childrens families (SDDNCF) Project Period Project Area Project Budget Funding source Project Districts Total Beneficiaries November 01, 2008 to November 31, 2011 Punjab, Pakistan 360.44 Million Government of Punjab (Home Department & Child Protection Welfare Bureau) Lahore, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Multan and Faisalabad 10,250 Households
It is a Public Private Partnership which aims at to reduce poverty and improve social economic conditions in the project area by creating productive employment especially for the destitute and neglected childrens families, disadvantaged and vulnerable segments of society. The main objective of the project is to facilitate 10,250 families in rehabilitation and empowering them economically. This broad objective can be summarized into immediate objectives i.e. to build the capacities of the most vulnerable families which include parents, brother, sister, guardians and persons with disabilities for economic and social empowerment through skills training, IGA and improved access to services including microfinance services. Government of Punjab has taken an initiative in Feb 2005 towards rescue, protection and welfare of these destitute and neglected children through establishing Child Protection and Welfare Bureau under the Punjab Destitute and Neglected Children Act 2004. CPWB in collaboration with the NRSP has devised a comprehensive intervention plan for this neglected part of the society to assist them in getting out of this cycle. Project Beneficiaries Project beneficiaries are the families of the children who are rescued by the CPWB and or those families identified through cluster based approach with score less than 30 on the Poverty Score Card. Project Objectives The main objective of this pilot project is to facilitate 10,250 families in rehabilitation and to empower them economically. The overall objectives of the proposed project in quantitative terms are; Socio economic development of 10,250 (2050 per district) Destitute and Neglected Childrens Families Assessment of 2,750 (550 per district) vulnerable persons/families and provision of Income Generation Grants.

Social Sector Services

NRSPs core activities revolve around its philosophy of harnessing peoples potential, in that, NRSP organizes the communities to plan and implement various activities according to their priorities and willingness. NRSP experience has shown that at the household level people prioritize income generating activates (agriculture, livestock, small businesses etc) while at the village level, they prioritize drinking water, health and education related activities as their needs. In Pakistan provincial governments and projects have established a large network of health and education facilities. However due to various reasons of which lack of appropriate accountability mechanism is a major reason, these facilities are not able to deliver quality services to the target population. Therefore in terms of access and quality these institutions have not been very effective. Recognizing the fact that government has provided a huge infrastructure for health and education, NRSP attempts to build the capacity of communities through the network of Community Organizations (COs) so that they are able to access services that can be provided by the facilities established by the government. Along with this bottom up approach of increasing community participation through capacity building and forging linkages, NRSP also implements small pilot projects where it takes over health and education facilities and manages them for a specific period to demonstrate how such facilities can be made effective through better management practices and community participation. In case of remote areas where no government facility for education/health exists, NRSP encourages the COs to set up small community driven initiatives such as community schools, community health centers etc as an adhoc arrangement. NRSPs experience shows that at a later stage such community-run schools and health centre are either absorbed into mainstream government facilities or convert into private enterprises which are run and managed by some progressive community entrepreneurs. NRSPs experience further shows that access and quality of social sector services (drinking water, sanitation, health and education) can be assured through effective community participation. However, community participation is effective when it is about such projects that do not involve complex procedures and technologies. For example it is within the capacity of rural communities to participate in the management of government schools in terms of increasing enrollment, reducing teachers absenteeism, constructing missing facilities, creating awareness for better health/hygiene practices, constructing streets, managing small drinking water supply schemes through the forum of community organizations. Constructing full school buildings or hospitals or managing hospitals involves complex procedures e.g. architecture, knowledge about medical science etc. NRSP therefore focuses on construction of small infrastructure, management of simple operations and creating awareness through the COs. Some examples of initiatives already taken by NRSP are: Establishing and supporting Community Schools / Non formal schools Supporting Community Participation in Managing School Affairs through SMCs / School Councils / VEC etc Capacity Building of SMCs /School Councils / VEC Capacity Building of Primary School Teachers; Managing selected and limited number of government health facilities as role models with the objective of replicating these models by the government departments; Managing selected and limited number of government schools as role models with the objective of replicating the lessons learned through the government departments; Capacity building and awareness raising through health education and outreach programmes with focus on o mother and child health o prevention of various diseases e.g. malaria Social marketing e.g. Mosquito Nets (ITNs / LLINs) Community Led Total Sanitation pilot projects; and Above all forging linkages of COs with a number of government agencies to create access of COs to different services. Future Directions: NRSP will continue focusing on a bottom up approach of building the capacity of COs as effective receiving platform for accessing various services for which government has established a wide
45
As of July 2011
network of extension departments. NRSP will also continue forging linkages between COs and government department as a sustainable way of increasing efficiency of government departments and increasing awareness among the people. In order to increase effectiveness and efficiency of existing structures and systems related to the delivery of services in health and education sector, NRSP will also implement pilot projects where it will perform as a service provider. But this role will aim at disseminating lessons learned to the concerned government and private service providers. The niche of NRSP programme will remain forging linkages, capacity building of communities and community participation. Over the last many years especially during working in the earthquake affected areas for reviving health and education, NRSP has learned that improving access to education and health requires nurturing a large number of community volunteers and paid local level workers. Without this social capital it is beyond the capacity of any organization to reach out a large number of people and provide them a number of services. In order to nurture the community volunteers and local workers NRSP has decided to set aside resources in all projects for the training of community extension workers. NRSPs participation in social sector projects is guided by the principles of community participation, sustainability and effectiveness. Over the last many years, NRSP has learned that effective community participation requires organizing people at mohalla level, village level and union council level. A three tiered organization structure comprising the mohalla level COs clustered into Village Organizations (VOs) and then federated at the Union Council as the Local Support Organization (LSO) enable the people to pool resources according to the size of activities in which they participate. NRSP will encourage the formation of COs, VOs and LSOs and will build the capacity of LSOs to supervise and manage COs and VOs through community volunteers called the Community Resource Persons (CRPs) or Community Extension Workers. In summary NRSPs social sector services division will focus on the following: Forging linkages between organized communities and Government/ Non Government Service Providers; Ensuring community participation in various projects through COs,VOs and LSOs; Increasing community awareness of key issues through a cadre of CRPs, Community Workers etc Facilitating the government in implementing its social sector programs; Managing and running health and education outlets as pilots for designing and implementing more efficient systems for the delivery of services; Increasing access to basic education and basic health facilities in remote and hard to reach areas through community owned set up; and Capacity building of local institutions and community organization in the field of primary health and education Here is a brief description of various interventions which NRSP has carried out or still implementing through project and programme. If any body is interested in knowing further details then they should refer to the sector.

Education and Adult Literacy Adult Literacy Programme The goal of the programme is to motivate and support people so that they are able to read and write and can perform better in their daily lives. People who are willing to learn are identified by NRSP staff in and around community organizations or by the consultant firms hired by NRSP. Eligibility for intending learners should be as young as ten years of age and there is no upper age limit. Learners attend the two hour session for three months, after which they are able to read a newspaper and write a letter. Learners are also able to understand and practice basic mathematical functions. Initially NCHD and later Pakistan Education Research and Development (PERD) provided technical input. NRSP also managed this programme from its own resources while in some cases donors also supported the programme e.g. ILO in Mardan and Attock and JDW Sugar Mills in Rahim Yar Khan. Now NRSP is trying to mainstream the adult literacy programme in the regions. Here is a statistical summary of the programme carried out under adult literacy programme.

As a step toward making literacy programmes more purposeful and valuable, NRSP initiated an innovative literacy training programme model of its own with support from a VSO Volunteer. This project is called PALLS (Programme on Adult Literacy and Life Skills). It was pilot tested in one Union Council (Litten) in the Bhakkar District. PALLS uses a combination of relevant curriculum based on the National Literacy Curriculum, systematic teaching methods, creative use of teaching/learning materials, and mobilization of community resources. This programme was later extended to UC Qamar Mashani in Mianwali district as well. Learners and graduates summary from this programme is given below.

Community Schools NRSP works with the COs to establish community schools. In many rural and in few peri-urban communities, community schools are the only primary schools available to children. Government

As of July 2011
schools are either too far or do not offer quality education. Community schools offer affordable education to children of poor families who cannot afford the fees of private schools. Community members form a Village education Committee (VEC) which supports the schools activities. VEC members are mostly parents of the students, and teachers or administrators. The VEC administers the school, determines the students fees and generates the necessary economic resources. VEC members also set the salary of school teacher and arrange parent-teacher meetings. In many communities, community schools have only one room and one teacher. The teacher must be a local person with a reasonable education. The school generally has more than one class managed by single teacher. NRSP has established linkages with the Government and with donor agencies for these schools. The Community Schools were earlier established in partnership with a UK-based NGO called Learning for Life (LFL). After the LFL project, NRSP has continued supporting some community schools. NRSP has also established few community schools from its own funds. Action Aid Pakistan supported nine schools in D.G. Khan and PRSP funded nine schools in Lodhran under Establishment of New Primary School through Community Participation project, supported by Government of Punjab. PPAF and BEF are also providing support for many community schools. Since 1992, NRSP has established 504 Community Schools in villages where CO members have identified access to education as a priority. At present, 233 schools are functional.

Support to Government Schools The Government of Pakistan at Provincial level and the Government of AJK have asked NRSP to take leading role in reviving the community participation in their school systems. NRSP has undertaken many projects in this regard. Few of these projects are mentioned below. QEFA Project - Rahim Yar Khan NRSP signed a MOU with Rahim Yar Khan (RYK) District Government in July 2002 for the implementation of the Quality Education for All (QEFA) project. The project aims ensure quality

education for all in government primary and masjid maktab schools in UC Rasool Pur through public private partnership. JDW Sugar Mills, is supporting NRSP in the implementation of this project by sharing the cost. Community participation is the main theme of the project. Teachers are imparted joyful learning techniques through teacher trainings. Local teachers are hired in schools where the number of students is high or where schools were initially closed due to non availability of teachers. Few abandoned school buildings were turned into functional schools and now running as non formal schools. Support is provided to make the school environment child friendly. Basic facilities such as drinking water, latrines, etc are provided by the School Council with the support of NRSP, Jamal Din Wali (JDW) Sugar Mills, and District Government. This initiative proved so successful that Punjab Government decided to expand this project through Punjab Education Sector Reform Programme (PESRP). PPAF also supported 41 of these schools PPAF is providing support for improving the physical facilities as well as quality of education by the capacity building of teachers. Rceently this project was extended to another UC Kot Karam Karam Khan, while NRSP management was also extended to similar projects in Ghotki with the support of JDW Sugar Mills. The table below provides complete details of this project. Table 19: Quality Education for all (QEFA) Achievement as of July, 2011

Punjab Education Sector Reform Programme (PESRP) School Council Capacity Building Programme (SCCBP) Phase II After the successful completion of the pilot project, the School Council Capacity Building Project (SCCBP) has been expanded to 35 Districts of Punjab. NRSP and PRSP are implementing organizations .NRSP is implementing this project in 14 Districts of Punjab (Rawalpindi, Chakwal, Jehlum, Attock, Bhakar Khushab, Mianwali, D.G.Khan, Rajan Pur, Bahawalpur, Rahim Yar Khan, Lodhran, Vehari and Bhawalnagar). Capacity building of the school councils shall be implemented in 3 phases in which every school council will have one year of interaction with RSP staff for their capacity building. Capacity Building of School councils primarily aims at developing the capacity of newly constituted school councils; and hence enabling them to perform their stipulated role in a benefiting manner. Although this project looks similar to the pilot project but is different in many circumstances. This phase does not include any specifically allocated funds for SC to use and meet their major needs. PMIU has ensured transfer of SC funds to all schools across Punjab (@ Rs 20000 per primary school, Rs 50000 per elementary school, per year) and expects that all schools will have funds for day to day operations in schools. Major areas covered in the project are: 1. Social mobilization for having effective School Councils 2. Capacity building of entire population of SC members ( Including School Head Teachers) 3. Capacity building of District Education Officers from Executive District Officer (Edu) down to Assistant Education Officer (AEOs). (Newly added from previous project). The project is aimed to achieve following specific indicators: An overall increase in primary class enrolments @ 5% in the first year and 10% in subsequent years; An overall decrease in dropouts @ 20% per year; Increase in completion rate in the primary cycle by 10% per annum. Primary completion rate July be calculated as the total number of students completing or graduating from the fifth class, divided by the number of children whose age is equal to official graduation age. Improvement in quality through teachers training, provision of teaching guides and teaching materials; Reduction in teachers absenteeism by 20% measured from the Core Welfare Indicators Questionnaire results. A new set of indicators have been developed in consultation with the PMIU PESRP for observing the usefulness of capacity building and social mobalisation exercise. The major areas include Community Mobilization and Public Awareness, SC Members Training, Availability of essential Documents at School, Enrollment campaign, Civil Works Inspection and Hygiene education. PESRP PMIU has attached financial tag to each of these areas indicators and RSPs will be awarded funds on achievement of these indicators. NRSP has to provide support for more than 15900 schools in fourteen districts. Two phases have been completed while 3rd phase is also started

Community Empowerment through the Provision of QFE (Supported by PPAF and NRSP) PPAF and NRSP entered into a partnership for community empowerment through the provision of quality formal primary education, in July 2005. The project started with four formal private primary schools which were established in the most disadvantaged districts of Punjab District Khushab and District Bhakkar. These schools were meant for poor segment of the communities which had marginal facilities of education. The commitment has been to provide a good quality school closer to the vision of the ideal school of the community. This programme was later expanded in Bahawalpur and Rahim Yar Khan Districts. During the implementation, the project focuses on the genuine need of the community. Communities which have schools in the radius of 1.5 to 2 kilometers are not included in the project. Community must have willingness to manage the school affairs and they must gradually increase their share in the finances for the school through payment of school fees or through donations.

As of July 2011
The schools are made operational in places which are provided by the people in the community (houses or rented buildings etc). PPAF and NRSP support them in making the schools functional and as attractive as any private education institution. Teachers are recruited locally by the school committees while PPAF supports them by providing salary and funds for their capacity building. NRSP carried out teacher training through CRI and IRM, institutions short listed by PPAF. PPAF also provided support to 41 government and non formal schools in district Rahim Yar Khan, in January 2007. PPAF has also provided funding for support of more community schools and government schools from its social mobilization and SCAD Programme.

Union Council Based Poverty Reduction Programme UCBPRP - Education Component This project is a sub project of UCBPRP project which is funded under a PC-1 by Government of Sindh. Project started in October 2009 and is expected to complete in July 2011. SRSO which is the responsible organization for the execution of this project identified NRSP as key partner to implement this project based on its past experience in similar endeavors. This project focuses on making quality education available to children in remote areas of Shikar Pur and Kandhkot. NRSP was assigned the task of identifying of non functional schools and making them functional for the better community based management and provision of necessary operational and material support. Identification of these schools proved to be a tough task, as many schools were declared functional by local education officials and it was difficult to convince them about on the site situation problem. Parents on the other hand were willing to send their children to school even in school buildings with poor conditions. Local communities are organized in SMCs and provided training for managing the school affairs. Presence of sufficient children, female capable teacher and premises for starting a school are preliminary conditions for making schools functional. Project also tries to accommodate girl students in 2nd shift in existing schools which otherwise dropout due to co education or overcrowding of schools due to limited space or availability of teachers etc. NRSP is also introducing Early Childhood Concept in some of the schools in this area on pilot basis in the project area. Training and mentoring of teachers are a major component for this project which will be conducted by NRSP IRM team. Project achievements in the project are listed below.

Positioning of Family Planning as a Health Intervention (Sponsored by David & Lucile Packard Foundation) The project aims to pilot a program of integration of reproductive health and family planning component in the mainstream community development activities carried out by RSPs, in the remote areas of District Rajanpur and Rahim Yar Khan. NRSP started this project in collaboration with David and Lucile Packard Foundation for three years. Sensitization of family members is done through social mobilization by the community organization and their activists leading to increased awareness among the people of these two districts. NRSP social mobilization with micro finance program and Reproductive Health/Family Planning act as two prong strategy to benefit population of these areas. NRSP is utilizing the social capital that includes Activists, COs, VOs and LSO for the implementation of project activities. An extensive baseline survey was conducted. Its findings supported in formulation of project strategies. The activities for the implementation of project included: 1. 2. 3. 4. Couple registration Awareness raising of couples through CRPs in multiple sessions about RH Linkages of interested couples with the service providers both in public and private sector Capacity building of TBAs for improvement in maternal health services and working as an agent for RH services 5. Capacity building of service providers for effective delivery of RH services 6. Advocacy with local and provincial government for improvement of RH services in rural areas
Project team of social organizers works closely with Community Resource Persons in the area and CO members for listing of couples and awareness raising campaigns. Awareness raising is also conducted through puppet shows. Project team not only monitors the quality of dialogues conducted by CRPs but also keeps track of couples adopting various methods of FP / Birth Spacing.

Environment and Natural Resource Management

The quality of the relationship between ecological and social systems defines, to a large extent, the quality of community life and the ability of communities and their institutions to sustain themselves. The links between poverty and the environment are bi-directional: environmental degradation, whether occurring naturally or as a result of human interventions, threatens the livelihoods of the rural poor most of whom depend directly on agriculture, livestock and poultry, horticulture and orchard management to earn a living. Basic nutritional needs can not be met when crop yields are reduced because of poor soil quality. Home-based enterprises requiring natural resources must be abandoned when those resources are no longer available or affordable. Similarly, poverty has negative environmental effects when the poor must resort to unsustainable practices - cutting down trees and polluting water supplies, for example - in order to survive. Whatever its cause, environmental degradation affect the poor and vulnerable first, because they have fewer social or economic resources with which they meet their needs and little to fall back on in times of scarcity. In many areas environmental degradation has created a new class of poor people those whose resource-based livelihoods have been severely damaged. Renewable Energy for a Clean and Green Future NRSP is committed to help farmers harness freely available renewable sources of energy. Thus helping to reduce fuel costs, increase productivity and halt the depletion of natural resources. In September 2005 NRSP installed solar-powered LED lights and 12-volt batteries in 28 households in village Markhal, Talagang. The homes are all adjacent to each other in a single lane. The Project is part of a Pehli kiran (first light) project. The 180-household village is 42 km from the NRSP FU Talagang office. There is no other source of electricity in this under-developed area. Before the actual installation, ENRM staff members discussed the details of the installation, care and use of the lighting equipment and the maintenance required. A 4-member committee has been established to look after the project. Every household deposited Rs 1,000 in a CO account before the lights were installed and each will deposit Rs 150 per month for the next two years. The money will be used to replace the solar battery, which has a projected life of two years and any bulbs which require replacement. Three Effective Micro-organism Fermenters which function to speed the decomposition of manure used as fertiliser and reduce urea fertiliser requirement by almost 50% have been installed so far, one in Hyderabad and two in Lodhran. Before the fields are irrigated, the fermenter is filled with water, manure and organic waste. The EM medium, a liquid, is added to the fermenter to speed the decomposition process. NRSP contributed Rs 56,000 to the cost of the 3 EM fermenters. Tree Planting. All Government Departments, NGOs and private institutions are encouraged to actively participate in national tree planting campaigns launched twice every year. NRSP holds workshops in its Field Units and Regional offices and encourages its CO members to plant trees. In 2003-04, with the financial support of Barani Village Development Project, NRSP facilitated the planting of 225,000 fruit and forest plants in the rain-fed Potohar areas. It also facilitated the planting of 18,500 fruit trees: community members paid the total cost of Rs 10,500. Livestock Vaccination Camps are frequently held at Field Unit offices. These help farmers to learn more about preventive and curative measures for livestock diseases. During 2003-04, over 61,000 animals were vaccinated in these camps. New Initiatives: Sulphuric Acid Generator In 2003-04, NRSP introduced two units of a new technology called a Sulphuric Acid Generator (SAG) in the Bahawalpur / Lodhran / Vehari Region. The SAG treats saline water as it leaves the tubewell and makes it suitable for irrigation. The SAG machine adds sulfur granules to tubewell water, thereby restoring the pH balance of the water.

As of July 2011
NRSP purchased two SAGs from a private firm called Sweet Water Pakistan, each costing Rs. 200,000. The sites were selected according to the salinity /alkalinity of the groundwater. The NRSP staff determined that the annual expenditures of SAG machine irrigating 10 acres of land for two crop seasoning amounts to Rs. 10,000. The increase in yield of these 10 irrigated acres amounted to Rs. 50,000. In Vehari, the yield of one farmers 10-acre cotton crop increased by 3 maunds per acre. Although it is a relatively small increase in yield with in one year, it is a good beginning and bodes well for future crops. The farmer with the second machine increased his wheat yield by 5 maunds per acre, resulting in additional income of Rs 1,750 in the rabi season. Wheat seed multiplication During the 2005 Rabi season the TASSCO Seed Corporation in Hyderabad contacted NRSP for the multiplication of high-yielding varieties of wheat seed (TJ-83). TASSCO provided 3,600 Kg of seed (enough to seed 298 acres) free of cost and the CO members agreed to return the same quantity of seed after harvesting. NRSP also requested 2,100 Kg of wheat seed for Mardan Region: it was distributed to 24 farmers. The Rawalpindi Region also purchased 2,000 packets of high-quality winter-vegetable seeds on behalf of its CO members in all Field Units from the Ayub Research Station in Faisalabad. CO members bought the packets for Rs 22/ each. Fruit Tree Plantation The NRSP Rawalpindi Hub Office has distributed one million saplings and vines among its COs, since its inception. During the spring plantation campaign in 2005, 14,332 fruit saplings were distributed in Pindi Gheb, Attock, Talagang, Julyd and Pind Dadan Khan Field Units. NRSP-IRM also conducted workshops on spring plantation. The fruit plants distributed were mosami, shakri, lemon, guava, apricot, almond, grapes and pomegranate. Solar Electrification in Dandar village Dandar is a small village of Union Council Dandar located at a distance of 180 Km from the regional office Turbat. It is a small mountainous area with extreme heat and dryness in summer. Temperature rises up to 51 degree centigrade in summer. It is an extremely under developed area and people do not have any fixed source of livelihood. There is absence of many basic necessities of life like water, sanitation system, and electricity. NRSP through linkages with Alternate Energy Development Board provided electricity to 120 Households through solar units. Each solar unit includes 6 bulbs, 1 fan and 1 solar geyser. By this intervention the local people are very happy and thankful for providing electricity with charges of Rs.200 per month for 25 years. It is a low cost activity in this far-flung area of Kech District. After this intervention the 5-neighbor village's community organizations (COs) submitted resolutions for the provision of solar energy electrification. Rice Crop Demonstration Plots NRSP Hyderabad Region established 7 demonstration plots of 7 acres and provided 7 mounds of rice seed varieties i.e. Sarshar, Aeri-6 and local variety to 7 cas of District Badin on sharing bases. Aresta Agro Chemical and Engro Chemical Pakistan Ltd. provided technical assistance and pesticide for insect pest control. The COs member provided fertilizer and labor for looking after 7 demonstration plots. The average yield of local varieties is 45 to 60 monds per acre, whereas the average yield of Sarshar, Aeri-6 varieties is 60 to 90 monds per acre. As a result, 12 to 35 monds per acre yield increased as compare to local varieties.

Monitoring Evaluation and Research

The Monitoring, Evaluation and Research (MER) section is responsible for systematically documenting programme implementation and collecting the data that makes it possible to assess the impact and effectiveness of NRSP activities. The Flow of Data Quantitative data recording begins with the CO itself, which records all details of its activities, including its minutes, resolutions adopted, and Minutes, in a Karwai (proceedings) Register. The Field Units collect ground-level data about every CO the number of members, the savings they have accumulated, the training courses their members have taken, their NRM activities, the TBAs who have been trained, and the amount of micro-credit borrowed and repaid, and so on. Data collected in the Field Units flows in to the District Offices and then to the Regional offices, where it is verified and consolidated into a Monthly Progress Report (MPR). The Regional MPRs and the sectoral data (MEDP, HRD, PITD, SSS, and NRM) are consolidated into a single monthly Programme Update at the Head Office. Qualitative data is captured in case studies and assessment studies, which describe the impact of NRSP interventions on individuals and projects. Pre-Project Analysis The MER section prepares Project proposals that identify the activities relevant to the purpose and intended outcomes of the Project. The Situation Analysis is a useful tool to assess the development needs and potential of an area. A Situation Analysis makes it possible to identify relevant and feasible Project interventions for specific social, economic and/or environmental contexts. The data in the Situation Analysis also serves as a benchmark for evaluations, enabling us to measure rates of growth, how well we are meeting established targets, and so on. Monitoring and Information Systems Effective monitoring of the quantitative aspects of the mainstream NRSP Programme and the Projects is accomplished through MIS systems. These include MIS for Social Mobilization, PITD, HRD, Micro-credit, Micro-health insurance. The Monthly Progress Reports generated from these MIS provide the data for the monthly Programme Update. The Human Resource Development MIS, which makes it possible to track Regional training activities, has been extended into all the Regions. In a related activity, the training data recorded in Regional offices since NRSPs inception has been entered into the HRD regional MIS in every Region. This makes it possible to establish a computerized database which reaches back to the first ever training courses offered by IRM. With this in place, trend analysis, cost effectiveness studies, and gender-focused analysis become much simpler to accomplish. Other MIS databases developed include one for the GFATM (Insecticide Treated Nets) Project, and one for the relief activities. Assessments and Evaluations In NRSP Evaluation is done both externally and internally. i. External Evaluations: These are done by external agencies and donors, which are for whole of the programme, region specific and / or for specific projects undertaken by NRSP. These studies include Assessing the Economic Impacts of NRSPs Micro credit Program in Bahawalplur by Sustainable Development Policy Institute SDPI, 2009 Impact and Portfolio Assessment of the Micro-credit Program in the NRSPs Dera Ghazi Khan (DGK) and Barani Village Development (BVD) Project by Sustainable Development Policy Institute SDPI, 2009 Impact Assessment of Sugarcane Productivity Enhancement Project conducted by an Independent Consultant (Mr. Mansoor Hasan Khan), 2006 Post Project Evaluation Report of Community Based Disaster Risk Management Project by an Independent Consultant (Mr. Mansoor Hasan Khan), 2009
