NRSP 25th Annual Progress Report 2018-2019ii

I am delighted to present NRSP’s 25th annual report for the year 2018-19. This was again another year of achieving significant milestones and recognitions; making NRSP as the leading national development organization for rural development, community driven development, poverty alleviation, outreach and access to services.

During the year 2018-19, NRSP focused on graduating poor to improve their quality of life. 222,046 HHs were organized during the year; which aggregated to so far organization of 3.6 million rural households nationwide into 222,993 COs. Easy and continuous access to micro credit in the form of CIF is being given to rural communities. LSOs are now managing PKR 971 million as credit revolving CIF and using it to provide small loans to their members. New credit lines were established which helped NRSP disburse PKR 41.9 billion as microcredit during the year. The USAID funded SGAFP project made a very important contribution in terms of providing grants to initiate new projects and capacity building for CSOs including LSOs; and is successfully completed. EU funded SUCCESS and BRACE Programmes are under implementation in 5 districts (4 in Sindh and one in Balochistan) which are to benefit 8,562 poor HHs for income enhancement. Our valued work with local and provincial governments is continued through initiatives such as the GLLSP, SPPAP and TADP Projects. 5 years long partnership with Government of Punjab under PKR 9 billion E-Credit Initiative is being implemented successfully, which is to benefit 150,000 small farmers in Punjab for access to micro credit. Green Climate Fund (GCF) is emerging to be another big funding agency for NRSP, which is to focus on initiation of climate change mitigation and adaptation projects for Pakistan. NRSP has started working on pipelines to access GCF funding. Over the year, 22 new projects with the financial and technical support

of national and international organizations have been initiated. IT department of NRSP has been playing an important role for automating the operations and making the systems more efficient and reliable. NRSP Microfinance Bank maintained its upward progress and expansion of financial services to poor farmers in new areas of Punjab and Sindh. The IRM continued its operation as an autonomous specialized training institution. Being a subsidiary of NRSP it maintained its focus on capacity building of poor communities. Agriculture Processing Company (APC) is another subsidiary organization of NRSP registered under section 32 of the companies’ ordinance. The idea is to provide warehousing, supply chain, value chain and income enhancement facilities to small rice farmers in Hafizabad, Punjab. Unit has started its operations.

NRSP is grateful to EU, PPAF, IFAD, Govt. of Pakistan, USAID, Ministry of Climate Change, UN Agencies and WaterAid etc for initiating various projects that supported community members across the country, particularly in the neglected regions for their endeavors to combat poverty.

I am grateful to the Chairman and NRSP Board for continuous guidance and support, which played pivotal role in NRSP’s growth and successful implementation of the programme. Entire NRSP team including who work directly with the local communities; deserve my heartfelt gratitude for their dedication and belief in what they are doing. Success of the programme would not have been possible without continued support of community activists, particularly women members who have worked tirelessly. I owe them special thanks and I am confident that we will continue our efforts with same zeal and passion in the coming years.

Social Mobilization and Livelihoods

NRSP 25th Annual Progress Report 2018-2019

3,552,135 households mobilized across Pakistan

A routine Community Meeting in Revenue Village Thatta GabollanUC Mutafariq Chohan, District DG Khan

Figure 1: LSOs & VOs Trend (Cumulative)

The RSPs Social Mobilization and Organization process involves all the poor households in grassroots level planning and implementation of community driven interventions. In addition, this is aided by the nurturing and training of community activists, managers and leaders. The model ensures community participation, ownership for development, capacity building and women empowerment. Moreover, it builds linkages between the rural communities and relevant government and non-government organizations, allowing them improved access to public services and local markets. The outcome of this process is inclusive sustainable development practices, creating a long-term impact on the poor households.

Synopsis of the reporting year

Following the legacy of more than two decades, during the year 2018-19, NRSP was able to organize 16,083 households taking the total membership of COs to 3.6 million. Among these total members, 58% members are women. Total number of VOs stand at 9,553 and LSOs at 854 by the end of June 2019. NRSP trained Community Resource Persons (CRPs) serve as the main channel for disseminating useful information as well as mobilizing community members. Furthermore, the number of trained and registered CRPs stands at 7,895 as of June 2019. Among these trained CRPs, 72% are female.

Social Mobilization for improvement in the Livelihoods

Over the last 25 years’ experience of organizing rural households, NRSP has learned that the objective of ensuring active participation of the poor households can be best achieved by taking livelihood related interventions as an entry point. It is so because the poverty is at household level. Each poor household has some potential which can be harnessed through a tried and tested social mobilization process coupled

with a livelihood protection and support package. NRSP’s livelihood package comprises Income Generating Grants to the destitute, transfer of productive assets, micro loans through Community Investment Fund and Technical and Vocational Skills Training to the poor for all poverty bands. Along with this livelihood improvement package Health, Disability and Accidental Death Insurance provided by NRSP or any government programme greatly helps protect the poor from the health and life hazards.

Major Social Mobilization and Livelihoods Support Projects

NRSP is currently engaged in various donor supported programmes/projects that target poverty alleviation through the RSPs typical approach of social mobilization and livelihoods improvement. These include IFAD funded Gawadar Lasbela Livelihoods Support Project, Southern Punjab Poverty Alleviation Project and National Poverty Graduation Programme (NPGP), KfW funded Livelihood Improvement and Community Infrastructure Project (LACIP), Italian government funded Program for Poverty Reduction (PPR ), EU funded Sindh Union Council and Community Empowerment Strengthening Support (SUCCESS) and Balochistan Rural Development and Community Empowerment Programme (BRACE). Of these projects, NRSP is working as a Partner Organization (PO) of PPAF for NPGP, LACIP and PPR while in case of IFAD funded SPPAP, GLLSP and EU

funded SUCCESS and BRACE, the NRSP is a direct implementing partner of the donors.

The SUCCESS and BRACE on one hand aim at improving living conditions of the targeted communities through a community driven development approach, on the other hand they also aim at supporting the respective Provincial Governments to recognize the CDD in the provincial poverty reduction strategy and annual development plans. This strategic intervention will help evolve a system of sustaining the community institutions and enabling the government departments to utilize the forum of CIs in all their programmes to reach out the masses.

Social Mobilization and WISE (Water, Immunization, Sanitation and Education Programme)

WISE is a strategic initiative by NRSP to address the persistent issues of unsafe drinking water, low immunization statistics

for infants, sanitation and hygiene related issues and low enrollment of children in schools. This is further elaborated in the section titled Social Sector Services. WISE is implemented in partnership with matured LSOs and their office bearers and Community Resource Persons (CRPs). So far, 42 Local Support Organizations in 42 Union Councils across Pakistan have been engaged for planning and execution of this programme; including active engagement of 1,313 subject specific CRP. This initiative is helping in improvement of SDGs 3, 4 and 6 in targeted areas; like 54% HHs are now accessing safe water for drinking against 20% before the project, 90% of the children stand immunized against 69% before the project and 85% children in the targeted areas are reportedly enrolled against 61% before the project.

Social Mobilization and Community Investment Fund (CIF)

Realizing the importance of CIF as a strong instrument for engaging communities in financial management and creating a capital base at the local level, NRSP has strived hard to mobilize donor sources for providing a CIF grant to the CIs especially the LSOs. Of the total CIF funds mobilized by NRSP, the share of PPAF has been PKR 288 million as of June, 2019 while EU followed with PKR 511 million and NRSP/RSPN and other donors as PKR 992 million. As is evident from the table 1, CIF has helped engage community institutions in at least 479 Union Councils in the management of CIF. The households requiring CIF loans have to apply for their loans through their COs. The COs use the platform of VOs to communicate with the LSO managing the CIF (in some cases VOs are the prime

CIF managers). The fact that a sustainable CIF can help sustain social mobilization, NRSP is implementing various parallel management models of CIF which will help select the one experienced as the most sustainable model for replication not only by NRSP but also by the other RSPs.

Story of Strength

Change does not happen overnight – previous projects and over years of hard work and social mobilization interventions by NRSP in Balochistan paved the way for the BRACE Programme in its current form. In District Kech, for example, local women participating in community and village organization meetings alongside men was definitely not the norm. However, by the time the inception phase of the BRACE Programme was set in motion, a decade of targeted interventions and door-to-door campaigning had resulted in community sessions with full participation from men and women. Decision-making at all levels has been limited to men – women have been kept from their human rights as well as their Constitutional rights. However, participation in people’s institutions at the local level is a step in the right direction. Balochistan is perceived to be ‘behind’ other provinces in all aspects of socioeconomic development including women’s rights. Equality and social justice are a faraway dream for many in Pakistan, but for the population of Balochistan the situation is even worse. With extremism and instability, the space for women and all vulnerable groups is reduced even further. However, controlled and careful interventions by NRSP have worked to gain some of this space back. According to Amul Sakim (member Community Organization); “Nine years ago, my life felt meaningless. Sitting in the courtyard of our mud house was my daily routine – it was all we had ever done or seen women do in our lives. Then, one day in 2007, a social mobilization team from NRSP visited our village. When I requested my father to let me attend the meeting of the village women, my father took a deep pause, after which he asked me, “What would the people of the village think about us if I allowed you to go?” However, I was persistent and after a long time, he gave me permission to go, and

from there on my life took on a whole new direction. Today, after taking four months of English language classes from a community organization in a nearby village, I now run my own language centre in my village. Sometimes, I think women can do everything better if we are provided the opportunity and space to do so. Just sitting at home cannot bear any fruit for our society, so it is imperative for both men and women to understand the importance of women’s participation in the development of society. I owe my success to the social mobilization team of NRSP, and our men, who understood the significance of women’s participation in the process of our own development.”

Future Plans

Increased engagement of women as part of the community institutions will be focused for next year. With the support of EU, NRSP will also continue lobbying for provincial and federal governments to recognize the forum of COs/VOs/LSOs in all their developmental programmes as the vehicles to delivery government services in most transparent and equitable manner.

Each Hub provides 6-month courses to rural women focusing on developing the indigenous skills of the tribal women, providing these women with enterprise training/development, teaching life skills,

as well as providing basic education and awareness about their rights. This, in turn, builds the capacity of the women for decision-making and contributing to their households and communities while raising awareness among the male community members about women rights. During the reporting year, 7 Sughar Hubs have been established where construction work is in process and at the same time 210 women have been identified for vocational skills trainings. As part of the community engagement process different dialogues and consultations with community elders, women, community leaders, religious persons, teachers etc will also be carried out.

Resolving a property scam for Fazila Bibi

Fazila Bibi is a resident of District Rajanpur. Her husband, Shahid Hussain, is a milk seller and the family’s sole breadwinner. The couple does not own agricultural land or have any alternative source of income. Both husband and wife patiently saved money over years and eventually bought a piece of commercial land. After some time, the couple discovered that a part of the land they had recently bought covered the road and was excluded from their ownership. This upset them because they had paid for the entire plot. Fazila and Shahid tried to reason with the selling party but to no avail. The couple was extremely stressed and upset because of this. They had paid for the land with their incredibly hard-earned life-long savings. Fazila’s cousin, Ruqiya, worked as a paralegal with the legal empowerment project. Fazila knew about the paralegals’ scope of work and the services rendered by them. She decided to discuss the property matter with Ruqiya. After listening to the problem, Ruqiya reassured Fazila that the couple had legal right to the entire piece of land. The paralegal shared two possible ways to solve the matter: one was through the court to legally acquire possession of the land, while the other was to resolve the matter informally through the involvement of community leaders. Fazila opted for the latter. Paralegal Ruqiya further involved the Union Councilor as a neutral authority figure. At the

paralegal’s request, the Councilor met with the defending party. He summoned both parties to a meeting to discuss the issue. As a result of the discussion mediated by the paralegal, the defendants paid Shahid five lac rupees as compensation for the part of land that could not be occupied due to the road. Fazila and Shahid, have now built a shop on the plot that they rented out. This rental allows them to live in relative prosperity. “We thought we had lost our hard-earned money as well as a part of the land we were told we would own. We felt hopeless. But Ruqiya and the Union Councilor supported us throughout the process and our problem is solved.”

Future Plans

The GAD section will continue reviewing and assessing NRSP’s gender mainstreaming policies and operational systems to ensure all programmes and projects are in line with the NRSP’s policy. At the same time GAD will engage in projects targeting women and other marginalized segments of our society to design and implement interventions that help improve gender equity.

Farzana Khalil, Village Kharick, District Rawalakot, AJK

Farzana Khalil, a married mother of two children lives in a village town Kharick of Rawalakot, AJK. Farzana was an ambitious wife to financially support her husband Ahmed, a contractor of providing labour. There was no stable source of income therefore often the family remained in debts. Through the help of her friend Farzana became member of a credit group in her town, formed by NRSP. For her, the most interesting point was that she could avail loan without pledging any asset or land and can repay the loan with easy monthly installments and less interest charges comparative to other services in her area. Farzana was fond of becoming a beautician from her childhood. Through

her first loan of Rs. 20,000 she fulfilled her ambition and started a beauty parlor in her house. A corner of living room was separated as beauty parlor. It was her first step on the ladder that would make her a successful entrepreneur in the future. Farzana till the time has taken four loans from NRSP. She has sanctioned her last loan of Rs. 100,000. She attributes her success to the timely disbursement of loan by NRSP. From her second loan, she planned to open her beauty parlor in a village town market. Her decision was fully supported by her husband. With the passage of time, Farzana realized that she must polish her skills to recognize herself as professional beautician. To achieve this, she utilized some money from her third loan to complete three different kind of beautician training course from well reputed institutions. In addition to this she also received vocational training from Fauji Foundation and received a certificate of beautician and beauty parlor management. Today she is renowned as best beautician and successful woman entrepreneur of her town. Farzana is also engaged in training other girls from different part of the city and charges a small fee. She has been utilizing her beautician center as community center where women of the area come to discuss their issues. She plans to continue expanding her business and eager to get another loan of PKR 300,000. Farzana believes that “No one else but it’s you who can change your life. You just need to be ambitious to move on the right way to achieve your goals. As I did”.

Noor Jahan, Manager LSO Tumshan-Ginna

“Ten years ago, our traditions and customs were so rigid, I could not dare step out of my home. Women were expected to keep their activities confined to the four walls of their homes. Stepping out of this space was forbidden. NRSP helped us to form a Community Organisation in my neighbor-hood. In the beginning, I, like all other women of the village, were hesitant to sit with the men of our village, because we had never done that before. Gradually, I found myself more comfortable and confident in these meetings and started speaking out about our problems. I also found a huge change in the mind set of our men, who were at first reluctant about our participation in these community organisations, particularly sitting with other men. But now it is very normal to sit with them, as we discuss the problems of our village and try to find solutions. I even got a flood protection wall built in our village under my supervision with the support of the NRSP and I feel very proud of what I have achieved and will continue to do for my community.”

Women’s participation at the community level in district Kech is encouraging. It is evidence that the RSPs social mobilisation approach is working. However, with reference to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the development of women in rural Balochistan is still far behind, compared to most parts of other provinces. Currently, Balochistan is the worst-off province in terms of women’s education, health and political participation. Nevertheless, the RSPs are striving to work with people to improve their condition, one household, one neighbourhood and one village at a time. The BRACE Programme has completed its inception phase and will now be working with women who will be mobilised into their own Community Organisations. Through capacity building exercises they will manage their own organisations, participate in programme activities and engage with the state. There are hundreds and thousands of women like Noor and Amul waiting for an opportunity to show us what they’re capable of – the BRACE Programme will provide them the opportunities to shine.

Future Plans

Linking vocational training participants with CIF and value chain projects will be a major focus area in year 2019-20.

During the year, the most significant investment was made in School WATSAN and renewable energy schemes worth PKR 256 million. Overall schemes completed includes DWSS, roads, culverts, lining of watercourses in canal-irrigated areas, lift irrigation, water conservation (mini dams, irrigation ponds), karez extension and rehabilitation in Balochistan. Table 4 showing types of

schemes completed during the year. While all types of CPIs benefit all the members of households including women, men and children, the sewerage and sanitation and safe drinking water schemes benefitted the women and children directly as traditionally managing water and sanitation has been the responsibility of women in rural areas.

Access to Renewable Energies and Infrastructures

Some of the successful initiatives of renewable energy include, access to biogas for domestic cooking, availability of electricity through micro hydropower plants for household and commercial use and provision of renewable energy sources like solar lighting system at household levels. Main funding sources for renewable energy infrastructures included PPAF, IFAD, KfW and local governments. During the reporting year 228 renewable energy infrastructure schemes have been completed worth

PKR 183 million, which benefited 5,990 households. Some of the prominent projects implemented during the year include PPAF funded Hydro Power and Renewable Energy (HRE) Project, Shell Tameer Access to Energy Project and a GIZ funded solar electrification project. HRE is an ongoing project which is to benefit 270 remote rural households by giving them access to electricity through solar and hydel powers. A new concept “energy poverty” is being addressed under Shell Tameer Project (Bahawalpur) in which solar tube wells and solar flour mills are being made available for local communities.

PPAF initiatives on access to Community Infrastructures

Italian Government funded Programme for Poverty Reduction and Government of Germany funded LACIP (Livelihood Support and Community Infrastructure Project) were two major projects remained under implementation during the reporting year. These projects are being implemented in Buner (KP) and Gwadar, Kech, Panjgoor and Awaran (Balochistan). PKR 1.2 billion is the total investment of these initiatives including both the livelihood and community infrastructure components of these projects. So far 701 community infrastructure schemes have been either newly constructed or rehabilitated in the targeted areas including school buildings, link roads, small village bridges, water supply schemes etc. All of these infrastructure schemes are being

identified, planned and executed by the communities themselves.

Initiatives of International Funds on access to Community Infrastructures

Role of European Union (EU) and International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD) has been very prominent in this regard. These funding agencies are closely executing these initiatives with the involvement of federal and provincial governments. Important thing about these programmes is the interest and ownership of local governments, which are making them success and leading towards sustainability. (i) SUCCESS-Sindh Union Council and Community Economic Strengthening Support Programme-EU), (ii) BRACE (Balochistan Rural Development and Community Empowerment Programme-EU), (iii) GLLSP (Gwadar Lasbela Livelihood Support Project-IFAD), (iv) SPPAP (Southern Punjab Poverty Alleviation Project-IFAD) and (v) TADP (Tribal Area Development Project) are the initiatives which are being implemented in 15 districts of Punjab (Rajanpur, Dera Ghazi Khan, Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar, Muzaffargrah, Bhakkar, Khushab, Mianwali, Layyah, Rahim Yar Khan), Sindh (Tando Allah Yar, Tando Muhammad Khan, Matiari, Sujawal) and Balochistan (Kech). Investment in these areas will help access to reliable services, livelihoods and improve the quality of life of poor in these areas.

Access to Lighting for Improved Quality of Life of People

A small remote mountainous village called Sar Kaly is situated at about 100 kilometers from the District headquarter Buner. The life standard of the local inhabitants was as of stone-age. After the sunset, life restricted to a room inside the home, there was no source of lightning other than kerosene oil lantern or firewood, which are extremely toxic when burned. Reportedly, chest infections were common among women and children. The majority of inhabitants of the village are too poor to afford solar lights or install a solar system for lighting in their homes. Mr. Naseeb Raj a local inhabitant of the village shared that “We made several efforts by approaching political worker, agents, public office holders etc to electrify the village as part of national grid but of no avail; with limited public funds said to be the main reason”. According to Mr. Rasool, who is also a local resident of village Sar Kaly, “As the night falls, our lives used to depend on the fire. Our children struggled to study under the lamps. Many children who were unable to study under oil lamps have dropped out of school”. A big change came in the village when NRSP identified this off-grid village for the construction of Micro Hydel Power (MHP) station. The construction of MHP was a very challenging task for the local community as well as for the NRSP team. The site of powerhouse and source channel is located in a deep trench surrounded by high mountains. However, the determination and full engagement of the communities and efforts of the NRSP team encountered this challenge and completed this project efficiently. The MHP total generation capacity is about 36 KW which is now supplying electricity to 60 households (580 population). The provision of electricity through the MHP unit has brought big changes in the routine life of the local community. Electricity has transformed the village. Now people have access to phones, satellite TV and the Internet which reduces the isolation of village Sar Kaly. School attendance and performance have

improved because now children focus on homework under the light in the evening. Mr. Basheer Muhammad, a local grocery vendor shared “I can now keep the shop open till 11 0’clock in the night, my daily income increased by almost 20% because people can now buy grocery items after the sunset from my shop”. The construction of MHP has also produced new opportunities for employment in the village. This project of MHP has played a game changer role in the social and economic life of the local community. The completion of the project made a gateway for other developmental activities in the village through Government and non-Government organizations. Micro Hydel Power Plant is now independently run by the communities themselves through Village Organization, who are responsible for billing, collection, maintenance; making it a successful model.

Future Plans

PITD will focus on making efforts towards planning, designing and implementing innovative schemes for mitigating the adverse impact of climate change or making best use of alternative energy sources.

266,049,774 Kgs of agricultural inputs distributed to smallholder farmers

Agriculture Innovation Programme for Rice Promotion by DSR in Hafizabad, Punjab

21Environment and Natural Resource Management

The ENRM Programme works with COs, VOs and LSOs to build the capacity of farmers for increasing productivity and improving local environment. It is mandated to link the communities with concerned government line agencies and development organizations to help communities access various services that are required to improve agriculture and livestock. Like previous years, NRSP maintained its practice of engaging more and more farmers and rural households in enhancing the production of agriculture, livestock, fishing and plantation activities. In order to test various methods of engaging the farmers in increasing crop production, NRSP also initiated a village/union council level project based on a gap analysis. This gap analysis helped identify the gaps in inputs and the crop produce as compared to the recommended inputs and produce with those in practice. It is worth noting that since inception the rural communities in partnership with the government and PTC were able to raise and plant over 10 million fruit and forest trees, plants and saplings nationwide.

Synopsis of the reporting year

During the year, NRSP worked with 16 departments of Government of Punjab, 8 of Sindh, 3 of Balochistan, 1 of KP and 3 of AJK. 1.3 million forest and fruit trees were planted. Just like the plantation activity, the vaccination and deworming of animals is another core activity that NRSP has promoted since its inception. During the year, over 115,964 animals were vaccinated/de-wormed by engaging livestock departments and through camps. Besides, NRSP in partnership with the Brooke Pakistan also initiated a project for the provision of veterinary and husbandry support to needy equine owning communities. Supporting the fishermen community in the coastal areas of Balochistan is yet another core ENRM function at NRSP.

Agriculture Innovation Programme

The project aims to increase agricultural productivity and incomes in the

agricultural sector through promoting and disseminating modern practices in cereal and livestock farming and horticulture. The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) focuses on wheat, maize and agronomy components under AIP throughout Pakistan. CIMMYT sub granted NRSP for a research project of Participatory Varietal Selection (PVS) which involves on-farm demonstrations, multiplication and popularization of new high yielding rust resistant wheat varieties in 21 districts of Punjab and Sindh. As a result of this project 15 tons of high yield and rust resistance wheat seeds were distributed. Successfully, 15 tons of this wheat seed variety was multiplied on 300 acres of strategic land. Several trials were also carried out including seed priming trials, zero tillage, ridge planting, mother trials and nutrient management trials. Moreover, farmers were also engaged in exposure visits to various on-farm research and demonstrations. Trainings were provided on various aspects of wheat crop, seed production and on farm research to 280 farmers.

Combatting the Impacts of El Nino/Climate Change on Agriculture

This project aimed to equip small farmers by building their capacity to prepare for and adapt to mitigate the negative impacts of El Nino (one of the aspects of climate change) on the agricultural sector. The project benefited 1,200 farmers directly

Clean and Green Pakistan campaign under WISE programme in Rural Union Council Tarnol, District ICT

22 NRSP 25th Annual Progress Report 2018-2019

through capacity building and linkages and a total of 50,000 people in 4 UCs benefited through improved agriculture practices, enhanced knowledge and coping strategies to deal with the adverse impacts of El Nino. By the end of this project, 24 Joint Development Committees (JDCs) were established which were further engaged in finalization of Village and UC level Climate Smart Agriculture Plans. Moreover, 1,200 farmers were made aware on improved agriculture practices including kitchen gardening etc. Farmers through JDCs are also linked with agriculture departments of local government and private sector for sustainable access to agriculture services. Project is being replicated by NRSP, from its own funding, in other parts of Pakistan including Bhakkar, Rajanpur etc.

A successful case of agriculture productivity enhancement

Union council Peer Ashab lies in district Bhakkar. The union council comprises rural villages and most of the people of the area are engaged in farming activities to earn their livelihoods. Because of less education and exposure of the people, traditional farming activities are carried out by the farmers of the area. Same is the story of Malik Pathana, a resident of revenue village Chak 38 TDA. Malik Pathana is the only bread winner in his family and the family comprises 8 persons. He is illiterate and a small farmer having 5

acres of ancestral land. He uses his land to grow Wheat, Pulses and Fodder through which he is able to earn a respectable livelihood for himself and his family. Due to less exposure to technological changes happening in the agricultural sector he did not know about the different seed varieties of the crops. He used local seeds and after hard work of 6 months in each crop, he was unable to get a satisfactory amount of finished product from his land.

NRSP started Livelihood Advancement through Agriculture and Livestock project with the help of Australian Aid Small Grants Program. The main objective of the project was to make the farmers aware about the technological changes about the agricultural sectors and to get the lands of the farmers tested for any deficiency present in their lands. Moreover, water used by the farmers to water their crops was also tested for any deficiency.

The activities were started by formation of farmer groups and Malik Pathana became member of such a group that was constituted in the revenue village. His land was tested through the government laboratory in the district and was found organic deficient. He was recommended to add organic fertilizer in his land for better productivity. He wanted to get most out of his land so, four trolleys per acre were dumped by him in his land and a total of twenty trolleys were used in his land. He attended awareness sessions on agriculture productivity delivered by the department and master trainers hired and realized that the land prepared by him was being done through the traditional way of levelling through which the water could not reach to all the plants sown and hence effecting the productivity of the crop.

During the project, he was given access to computerized levelling machine by which his land was distributed evenly. After the preparation of land, he followed the Rabi Drill method for seed sowing and saved 10 Kgs of seed he used to put in the land before the method of Rabi Drill. In the meantime, he also visited Government Agricultural farm in UC Ghulaman for exposure visit under the project banner and learned many new practices that were not being executed by him. After using the

recommended practices, his production increased from 10 to 15 Mands per acre. The project proved very helpful for him in increasing the crop productivity. “I have learned many new agriculture productivity enhancement practices I had no idea before and so been able to increase my income without increasing the land area” says Malik Pathana.

Future Plans

NRSP will focus on improving access of farmers to information and services for increasing productivity and reducing their expenditure to enable them earn higher income from farming and livestock.

Recognizing the fact that the poorest of the poor and other vulnerable and disadvantaged groups including persons with special abilities require special attention and support package, NRSP has designed several interventions for this purpose. These include capacity building, awareness raising, advocacy, income generating grants/asset transfer grants, skills training and many more targeted interventions. Not only that NRSP has piloted these interventions successfully, it has also participated in specialized projects that aim at supporting and empowering the poorest of poor, the disadvantaged and other vulnerable groups.

Making Communities Resilient to face Disasters

This Project was funded by Plan International with an objective to ensure food security in 40 targeted villages in Badin and Mirpurkhas which are frequently affected by flood and drought. The project compliments the Government of Sindh’s efforts towards poverty reduction through the revitalization of the agricultural sector under the World Bank funded Sindh Agricultural Growth Project. Skills enhancement, kitchen garden, access to veterinary services, establishment of nurseries and fruit tree plantation, productive grants, improvement of public infrastructures, supplementary food for children, awareness on food handling/storage etc are some of the major activities of this project.

NRSP Artificial Limb Rehabilitation Center, Nationwide

This initiative started in 2005, with the technical support of Rotary Club and other partners. By the end of June, 2019, 9,361 patients have been treated among which 2,642 were provided with above knee prosthetic limb and 3,731 were facilitated with below prosthetic knee limb. 816 patients were provided orthotics support (calipers) while upper limb prostheses were provided to 56

patients. Furthermore, 1,089 patients were provided with crutches while 2,116 limbs were repaired for old patients. However, during the year 1,114 patients benefited from this intervention. Project is continued with the funding of NRSP.

Enhancing Artisans Skills for Market Development and Income Enhancement

This initiative by the Punjab Small Industries Corporation aims to identify and train Artisans of Taxila who have been engaged as small entrepreneurs and doing art works including marble and stones. 150 Artisans (including male and female both) will be identified by the Punjab Small Industries Corporation and will be trained by NRSP on advanced skills on Marble Mosaic work. At the moment, training center is being establishment by the local government and trainees are being identification. Later on, trainings will be imparted by early next year.

Emergency assistance for affectees of cross boarder firing in Kashmir

Since early 2019, as part of the rise in tension among Pakistan and India along Line of Control (Kashmir), cross boarder firing and emergency incidences have increased and are continued. According to a report by the State Disaster Management Authority-SDMA

Social and Human Protection

International Day of Disability celebrated at Taluka Daharki, District Ghotki, Sindh

26 NRSP 25th Annual Progress Report 2018-2019

(March, 2019), over 1,100 families, who were living along LOC, have been affected so far in four districts including Muzaffarabad, Jhelum, Kotli and Bhimber and the number is increasing. Besides, large number of cases for injuries, deaths, migration, loss of agriculture, livestock, businesses, small shops, houses, schools etc have also been reported; which has entirely affected the livelihoods and economy of the people living along LOC. Though SDMA has started the relief activities, NRSP being present in the area has also taken the responsibility to contribute and stand along the affected people, local government, army and security agencies. After a baseline exercise carried out by NRSP, 1,300 affected families were supported with the basic daily food items for one-month time. This initiative was implemented in close coordination with all local government authorities which not only helped the affected families but also was able to maintain a good working relationship with local government authorities.

Empowering women through access to modern knowledge for livestock management

This PSDF (Punjab Skills Development Fund) funded project aims to empower 2,000 rural women of Chakwal and Khushab through access to information/knowledge on how to manage livestock more efficiently for enhanced incomes and improvements in the quality of life. Initiative is identifying women in the

targeted areas who have already been engaged in livestock management at the household level and are being enrolled into 45 days training events. Training contents include information on different livestock breeds, feed and fodder for livestock, daily requirements of drinking water for livestock, livestock diseases, symptoms and proper vaccinations/de-worming practices, cleanliness, milk production, management and supply, pricing, markets and role of middle men, value chain in milk production etc. During the year, 878 women have been trained.

Restoration of Livelihoods for people affected by Oil tanker blast incident in Bahawalpur

On 25 June 2017, a tanker truck exploded near Ahmedpur East, Village Ramzan Joiya in Bahawalpur District, killing over 150 people and injuring at least 34 others. The truck overturned when its driver attempted to make a sharp turn on the N-5 National Highway. Once the news of the accident spread to nearby villages, hundreds of residents rushed to the scene to loot the truck of its cargo. The truck then exploded; early reports suggested the explosion was caused by someone lighting a cigarette. Besides financial support extended to the affectees by the Government of Pakistan, Shell Pakistan also initiated and funded a livelihood restoration project for the affected households and NRSP was engaged as the implementing partner for this project.

Government has provided a good and reasonable financial support (between PKR 1 to 6 million) for the affected families, which seems to be enough for the affected families to revive their livelihoods. However, experience shows that it is not only the financial resources that matter in terms of livelihoods improvement. The community willingness, ability to utilize the funds, knowledge, skills, confidence and management capacities are some other important factors that play a vital role in enabling any community to bring a desired change in their socio-economic status. The proposed programme is targeting the affected households in an

integrated manner by engaging them in a development process that will include social mobilization, planning at household level, activities of increasing knowledge, skills and abilities, establishing small businesses to learn business techniques, working on forging linkages with various government departments, awareness raising on rights and obligations as good citizens. Project is initiated few months back and is under implementation.

A Story of Glory

Amina Bashir, resident of Naya Mohalla in Chakwal district is a mother of nine children. Almost a decade back, her husband who was an Imam in a local mosque and had no regular monthly income; making it very difficult for the entire family to live a comfortable life.

Later on, Amina started working for someone in the area as Apprentice. Her work was to make envelopes. For every 20Kg of envelopes she used to earn PKR 100 only. This income was also not sufficient to fulfill her family daily needs. Under these circumstances, quality of life of this family can clearly be imagined. Then a turning point came into her life when a relative of her recommended her to avail the loan for any small business and savings. Amina says, “I was confused and frightened and had no knowledge about taking loans and paying them back. It was a big risk for me and for my entire family; as the loan had to be paid back. But for the sake of family and good future and dreams I availed the loan.” Amina took her first loan of PKR 10,000, she immediately left the job of apprentice and started her own business of making envelopes at her own home. She used to buy raw materials from the local markets, make the envelopes and sale them to the local shops, markets and venders by herself. Her business flourished, she took bigger loans again (PKR 25,000 and then 35,000) and started a shop for the same business in the local market. This helped her increase her profit many times. So at the same time her family’s quality of life was improved.

She says, “I have worked very hard and tried my best to fulfill the needs of my

children and family, I am happy that now my 3 daughters and 5 sons are married, I have bought Television, Fridge, Washing Machine, C.D. Player and other home appliances. There was time when it was difficult for my family to arrange daily two-time meal. But now I can even offer Khirat/donate small money to poor. Is not it remarkable for me?” This is not the end of story, Amina has higher goals and she is not afraid of taking risks, so she has recently taken another loan of PKR 45,000 from NRSP to expand her business and is determined towards achieving her dreams. Indeed Remarkable!

As of June 2019, NRSP has enrolled 568,294 out of school children, engaged 212,675 SMC members, 72,441 Teachers and Government officials have been trained.

Punjab and Sindh Education Foundations Initiatives

NRSP and Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) entered into partnership to establish community schools in 6 districts of Punjab. Schools are being identified by the PEF through community requests and needs referred by department of education by closely engaging local communities. Facilities are regularly monitored and reviewed while capacity of teachers are also updated to improve the quality of learning. Missing facilities including WASH, furniture, class rooms, school boundary walls etc are also being made available and/or rehabilitated.

During the year, 22,223 children were enrolled achieving an overall figure of 41,460 enrolled children so far with the help of PEF interventions. Moreover, 403 Schools benefited from access to missing facilities and 2,369 teachers were trained under this project.

NRSP also signed an agreement with Sindh Education Foundation in April 2017 and collaborated for a pilot project with Adult and Adolescent and Adult Learning and Training Programme with focus on engaging out of school youth and adults who could not get education and provide them economic opportunities by linking them with services of vocational trainings, microfinance and local enterprises. Under this programme, NRSP has established 6 centers in Tando Allah Yar and Matiari with target of 1,200 learners. By June, 2019, 6 education facilities have been rehabilitated, 16 teachers have been trained and 900 learners have been identified.

Take a Child to School Project

Take a Child to School (TACS) Programme was started in the year 2015 with the aim of improving primary school retention by mobilizing young volunteers and communities. TACS, funded by the British Council in Pakistan, mainly focuses on enrolling children aged 5-11 in government schools and ensuring that they complete the primary school cycle. Community volunteers take

responsibility for a group of children and keep regular follow ups and contact school council or parents in case of drop out. Current phase of this project is being implemented in 36 Union Councils of Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar, Lodhran, Vehari and Rajanpur; in which 6,020 students were enrolled during the year with an overall achievement of 8,795. To attract higher enrollment, recreational activities including sports, competitions etc were also made part of the project; which proved to be quite successful.

Demand Access to Quality Education

Objectives of this project is to empower communities to raise voices to access quality education and to initiate community led social accountability for improvement in enrollment, school conditions and learning outcomes. This one-year project was implemented in Dera Ghazi Khan, Rajanpur, Jamshoro and Tando Muhammad Khan. Stakeholder engagements including government, community, parents, media etc remained in frequent coordination during implementation of this project. A component on community/parents’ awareness raising on importance of enrollment of children was also part of this project. By the end of this project in June, 2019; 41,575 out of school children were enrolled into government and other local schools.

Community Activism for Improving Access to Quality Education and Local Accountability

Aim of this project is to mobilize the communities to demand from local politician and influencers for the implementation of article 25-A so that access to quality education and enrollment of children in schools can be increased. The mechanism of local accountability through involvement of local communities has been very affective. Activation of Parent Teacher Councils (PTCs)/School Councils (SCs), formation of education networks, meeting with local political activists/notables, orientation of Communities and Educational Officials on Article 25-A etc are the key activities of this project. During the project period, 41,575 out of school children have been enrolled.

SABAQ Project

NRSP’s support for teaching out-of-school and in-school children through use of tablets in non-formal education centres and regular schools with the financial support of Multinet is a commendable effort. The SABAQ Digital Learning System is designed to help improve learning outcomes by providing high quality, interactive content directly to the children on tablets and other various hand-held devices. NRSP is a sub recipient of the grant from Multinet. By the end of this project in December, 2018, 19,073 children have been engaged and facilitated to improve their numeracy, literacy and science skills in 532 Centers established in 4 districts of Sindh including Tando Allah Yar, Tando Muhammad Khan, Matiari and Mirpurkhas.

The social capital fostered by NRSP i.e. CO/VO/LSO/CRPs has been a significant factor in implementing health programmes and projects successfully. In partnership with various organizations, NRSP links the communities for various health services. Birth spacing, mother and child health, immunization, breast feeding, nutrition, malaria prevention, disability, general health and oral hygiene etc are some of major thematic areas for NRSP’s Health Programme. NRSP’s WISE programme involves the COs/VOs/LSOs in increasing access of communities to safe drinking Water, Immunization, Sanitation and Education through CRPs with the back up support of COs/VOs/LSOs. The three out of four WISE components address health-related issues.

So far, 3.4 million community members have been educated through awareness sessions on health and hygiene and about 2 million LLINs have been distributed for prevention against Malaria. During the year 69,289 children and women received immunization support while 67,654 households participated in efforts to access safe drinking water and managing solid and liquid waste.

WASH Initiatives

During the year, NRSP in partnership with WaterAid implemented 2 major projects in district Thatta. Community led total sanitation, promotion of best health and hygiene practices, awareness raising, construction of drinking water supply schemes and toilets in schools and at community level etc are the major activities. NRSP is to target 17,600 students in 146 schools through these projects and overall 81,500 people will benefit from these services. During the year, 146 schools were facilitated with WASH facilities, 889 toilets were constructed at communal levels, 569 drinking water supply sources were tested and clean water for drinking was made available, 497 households participated in health and hygiene related awareness raising sessions.

Purpose of another UNICEF funded WASH Programme is to create open defecation free environment for 142,969

people and giving access to safe drinking water for 75,585 people in 60 villages of districts Gwadar and Lasbela. Project will also enable the targeted population to realize their right to better health through improved sanitation and hygiene and focus on reducing and preventing the incidence of WASH related diseases. In addition to this School WASH facilities will also be improved, with a vision to increase enrollment and retention of children specially, girls. By the end of reporting year, different community level awareness raising events have been organized, over 600 toilets have been constructed, 71 villages have been declared as ODF and communities and schools are in process of preparing WASH action plans.

Lady Health Workers based Clinics

NRSP established LHW based clinics with the support of PPAF in 2010. Keeping in view the need for health services for the poor and marginalized communities especially women and children with restricted mobility and financial limitations, since 2012, NRSP is supporting these Clinics from its own resources. The LHV based clinics were established for the improvement of Maternal Neonatal and Child Health for poor communities in remote areas of Punjab including DG Khan, Rajanpur, Khushab, Bhakkar and Bahawalpur. The Clinics are equipped with all the necessary equipment and medicines. Health Management Committees with a representation of community

The focus of the project is to decrease unwanted pregnancies, increasing access to FP services and address unmet needs for family planning services through community education and provision of FP services. As of June 2019, 160,039 women have been educated regarding RH/FP and 63,046 new users have adopted modern methods for birth spacing. Unilever Pakistan also extended its technical and financial support for this project, which helped trained 600 Guddi Bajis on Business-In-Box Model. Guddi Bajis with the Business Box are visiting door to door in the targeted areas and women are being given access to different hygienic items including soap, sanitary pads, surf, shampoo, pampers etc.

CRP Balqees shares how her social volunteerism has helped her community and her business thrive

The large mud walls on either side of the dusty, beaten path struggle to block out the sun’s unforgiving rays. The path leads forth to tiny abodes nestled in the shade. The men, clad in loose white garments, defy the sweltering heat so their livestock can graze. Meanwhile, the women, spend their afternoons indoors cooking over brick stoves and fussing over the children yearning for their attention. The village of Sardar Rahim Khan is a far cry from the hustle and bustle of the main city located a considerable distance away.

Through an unassuming front door of one of the houses, one is met by a large wooden khoka, propped up on bricks. Embroidery for sale, saturated with shades of yellow, pink and blue adorn the khoka’s roofline and inner walls. A large sack of sugar, an assortment of spices and snacks, and common consumables like tea and cigarettes dominate most of the space inside.

The khoka belongs to Balqees Bano, an active and experienced CRP from Union Council Kot Karam Khan, who runs the khoka with the help of her husband. “Before I built this business, I was just a simple housewife. I was selected as a CRP in the summer of 2016. The project staff provided me with a box filled with contraceptives and some consumables, informing me this was a starter pack intended to help me build a business for myself. I managed to take that box and turn it into the khoka you see here.” she shares proudly.

“With the box and my social marketing training, I would go door-to-door and make some sales. I was putting all my money back into getting more stock. At the same time, I was giving women counseling for family planning - a duty I perform to this day. Those meetings and long talks helped me become better friends with my neighbors. They began to buy things from me at their doorstep as opposed to journeying to the city for basic supplies. We started making some money. I was adamant about putting it back into the business, which is how I bought this khoka.”

Balqees then gestures to the embroidery draping her khoka and adds, “I began to make things for people as well. These handicrafts sell well. See here, this is a purse I made. It took me a week to make two, its twin sold for a handsome fee.”

“The local Village Health Committee approached me some time ago, when DAFPAK began, as they knew I had worked as a CRP before as well. They asked me to work in a nearby village - a new area - which I accepted. This social work has been very rewarding. The women are very grateful to learn of their choices and for the mediation I provide to bring

the family collectively on board with their decisions. It has also been beneficial for my business, as it is dependent on word-of-mouth. When this project started, I was earning Rs. 3,000 a month from my khoka. Today, I am earning up to Rs. 12,000 a month! People visit my little khoka for their everyday needs. I also stock condoms and birth pills, which help them reliably stay on a method and not accidentally get pregnant”, Balqees said, pointing towards the corner of her khoka where she kept them.

“It’s slowly becoming more socially acceptable to talk about birth spacing. My husband has always been there for me, and all 4 of my children were planned. Yet, I know that not every woman is that fortunate. Hopefully with time, we will bring societal change. We are already making an impact day-by-day,” Balqees concludes with a smile.

Future Plans

NRSP will focus on expanding its WISE Programme with close coordination of local governments.

Monitoring, Evaluationand Research

NRSP 25th Annual Progress Report 2018-2019

37Monitoring, Evaluation and Research

All the data management, reporting and analysis comes under the MER’s jurisdiction. The five monitoring functions that the MER division can feel pride of are (a) regular publication of Monthly Programme Update (b) holding of programme planning and management meetings (c) maintenance of a database for tracking progress of each project in terms of targets (d) planning and execution of project and programme evaluations and researches and (e) coordinating with all sectors and regions for the 6 monthly programme managers conference which is chaired by the CEO.

The MER division develops and implements the agreed upon monitoring framework keeping it in line with the current programme needs. Besides monitoring, it carries out evaluation and impact studies internally on a need basis. It also arranges evaluation and impact studies by engaging consultants. Research is also an integral part of MER. It is primarily done through collaboration with local and foreign universities, research institutions and donors. These researches are also helpful in designing innovative projects and programme interventions. MER also supports sectors and coordinates with donors to carry out the institutional assessments of the NRSP to seek accreditations and to be eligible for development funds. A recent one was carried out by the Green Climate Fund.

Project Compliance and Monitoring (PCM)

The PCM unit was established in 2012; mainly for the purposes of documenting, measuring and analyzing the progress and process of all NRSP’s ongoing projects. The PCM unit issues monthly project updates highlighting issues and best practices associated with different projects being implemented nationwide. Logs for all the contracts signed by the NRSP are kept and progress reports for donor funded projects are compiled and results are shared with the management. Recently, the entire project data has been transferred to a newly developed MIS by the NRSP-IT; for which reports have been developed and tested in the

reporting year. Online MER MIS is being deployed; which will improve the quality of progress reporting and efficiency in terms of time and resources. MER has now started documenting the quarterly process monitoring plans; for which monitoring field visits are conducted to measure impact, compliance, physical progress etc.

SM Management Information Systems (SM MIS)

In a fast-paced environment where short deadlines need to be met while ensuring highest standards of quality, Social Mobilization - Management Information System (SM-MIS) plays a pivotal role. SM-MIS is a one-stop shop for all the data related to social mobilization activities. It provides detailed information about the outreach and social mobilization status along with the type of interventions undertaken with each type of community institution. This information is used to design projects and also facilitates with the identification of required interventions in any of the programme area of NRSP. Furthermore, SM-MIS is regularly updated in order to provide most recent information which provides NRSP with a unique edge over its competitors. Any changes in the census along with geographical demarcations are updated regularly. To ensure accuracy and authenticity, strict quality control checks have been placed to warden off faulty data. All the data entries are punched at the field unit level on unique IDs generated against the employee code. Limited editing privileges are provided to the field staff to prevent unnecessary data loss.

SM-MIS serves as the main data hub for all NRSP departments, hence MIS maintained by other department including MEDP and PITD are now linked with SM-MIS maintained by MER section. It also serves to improve the records maintained by other department. SM-MIS offers customized reports as per the requirements of field unit, district, regional and head office departments. At any time, the NRSP has the most updated and detailed information ready to be shared with various NRSP departments

38

as well as donors. Under the SUCCESS and BRACE programmes, MER was able to integrate the SM-MIS and the PSC data with almost all the programme interventions e.g. CIF, community trainings, IGG, CPIs, MHI etc. SM-MIS data is also being used to conduct Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing which not only saves time but provides high quality accurate data.

Education Equity and Quality in Pakistan

NRSP in collaboration with the Washington University in St Louis, the Global Research on Inclusion and Disability Team, the Social System Design Lab, Lahore School of Economics (LSE) Pakistan, University of Cambridge United Kingdom and Centre for Evaluation and Development (C4ED) Germany are implementing a program of support to inclusive education in rural schools of Pakistan. The programme aims at increased access to quality education for Pakistani children, improved quality of education and capacitated national education system. A Randomized control trial (RCT) will evaluate this intervention and selected 130 schools out of which 67 schools are Control and 63 are intervention schools. Project Intervention districts include Vehari, Bahawalnagar, Rahim Yar Khan and Ghotki.

NRSP is now nearing completion of second year of the project. During

the first year, a comprehensive Baseline Survey was conducted, followed by which Group Model Building (GMB) sessions (a specific CBSD method) were organized to identify insights about social accountability reforms with School Management Committees, Parents, Teachers and Children. During the second year of the project, VECs supported by NRSP are implementing changes based on these insights in intervention Schools, Inclusive education trainings are being imparted to increase capacity of Teachers and qualitative methods are being applied to validate psychosocial assessment tools such as Teacher observation, In-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussions etc. Each school, with the support from NRSP teams and the investigators will complete implementation of the identified intervention before start of second round of GMB Sessions. In year 3 & 4, the investigators will measure the impact of the social accountability intervention on learning outcomes using a cluster RCT with an end line survey. Lastly, the investigators will develop capacity in countries (universities, education NGOs) and disseminate findings to a broad audience in various formats through academic, policy makers and practitioners’ networks.

Studying the Impacts of development work in Barani Areas of Pakistan

US-Pakistan Center for Advanced Studies in Water (US-PCAW) and Agency for Barani Areas Development (ABAD) launched an initiative aimed at preparing an Integrated Development Plan for the Barani areas of Punjab and engaged NRSP to conduct 2 research studies namely: “Assessment of socio-economic and environmental impacts of past development interventions and policy measures both in agriculture and non-agriculture sectors” and “Assess the current socio economic and environmental situation in Barani Areas”. Primary data was collected by conducting dialogs with the community through focused group discussions (FGDs). Tools were developed by NRSP which comprised of pre tested questionnaires for Focused Group

Discussions (FGDs) and Key informant Interviews (KII). Various government and educational institutes were also visited to gather information about the latest technologies available and the hindrances faced during effective and efficient dissemination and adoption of these technologies by the farming communities living in the Barani areas. This also helped in identification of some of the policy issues impeding socio economic development in Barani Areas.

Major finding depicted increased migration trends in Barani areas due to lack of education, health and employment opportunities, Mini dams were reported to be beneficial for agriculture and livestock but lack of finances is the main hindrance impeding adoption of new technologies. With regards to Geospatial data, the role of the government in facilitating data sharing among public sector organization was negligible. Furthermore, data duplication and additional costs and lack of strategy or mechanism for geospatial data was reported. However the projects implemented in Barani areas had an overall positive impact on Barani areas. Projects implemented in Barani areas since 1988 carried a holistic approach to tackle the challenges faced by Barani areas and were pretty much successful in meeting their goals. Communities belonging to Pothohar region favored interventions which provided them with irrigation water i.e. small and mini dams, dug wells, water channels as it enabled them to cultivate crops and vegetables all around the year. In south-west zone people reported that livestock interventions i.e. animal husbandry, vaccination were most beneficial as it improved the health of the livestock. Through vaccination interventions, the animal mortality has decreased and also the health of the animals has improved. The respondents of FGDs reported that women benefited the most from technical and vocational trainings. All the earlier implemented projects had special focus on women to enable them to participate in the project activities and exercise their rights. Women participation was discussed during these FGDs. In all the zones women participation was very encouraging.

Child and Maternal Health and Nutrition Baseline

This is the technical Assistance to the Governments of Punjab, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Bureau of Statistics and Labour Department) for the first ever Child Labour Surveys. NRSP is working as local partner of the C4ED and has been providing the technical support to the provincial governments on capacity enhancement and planning/execution of child labour surveys.

Future Plans

In the coming years, MER will struggle to achieve a greater level of technological advancement for data management and reporting; so that it can improve both productivity and efficiency.
