Community Information System
(CIS)Developed by IRSP-UNCEF
Community Information System
•Started September 2001•Cautious start – 5 UCs as a model, heavy time investment
On planning
•Few select indicators •Limited resources•Scaled up to total 20 UCs 2002•Still may have short comings•Requires technical inputs and assistance of stakeholders
VISION
Simultaneously, information is passed upwards to UC & district levels for planning on available data.
Community activists collect and manage basic information for local development on a sustainable basis. Aware community makes informed decisions in identifying action at local level.
Information Flow Community to District level
Information is collected at two levels:
a. Household level
b. Village level

Question is Why? When Abakhel has almost same population; twice the no. of Primary, 3 times of Middle, & 4 times of college passed; half OOSC, less distance to BHU, more water at home, twice the number of latrines, three times Pacca houses?
Breast feeding patterns

Population Growth rateBirth rates in different villages can also be calculated. For instance, in Shamozai UC, there were 51 births in 103
households in Ghundo, where as in Pirano Banda, there were just 12 births in 78 households.
This information can help indicate UCs where population growth is the fastest.

Every five HHs have one TV and one Radio.
Poverty Ranking HH Construction (poorest= >70% Kacha; Poor = 50 -
70% Kacha, Well off < 50% Kacha) No. of rooms (1 room = poorest, 2 rooms = poor, > 2
rooms = well off) No of persons per room (> 5 = poorest; 3-5 = poor, 1-2 =
well off.) Electricity (> 70% = well off; 50–17%= poor; < 50% =
poorest) Employment pattern (Poorest = more than 10% un-
employed; Poor = 5 to 10% un-employed; Well off = less than 5% un-employed)
Free accommodation (Poorest = more than 40% HH having free accommodation, Poor = 10 to 40%, Well off = less than 10%)
Improvements required in CIS Evolutionary process so far, has room for refinement
(data items/definitions/data sharing with users/tailor made for use.
Staff/activists capacity building required. Institutionalization would require time till communities
start realizing benefits of CIS It’s a behavioral change process, dependent on the fruit
of invested energy/time/effort. Some villages need time for mobilisation as they look
for direct benefits Linkages with donors/partners for targeted investment Model test in Urban area would be a challenge
Strengths of CIS• Unique model in Pakistan-based on triple A
process
• Disaggregated data at sub-district level
• In line with theory of development
• Support to devolution process/Distt. UC role
• Systematic capacity bldg. of Community Reps.
• Acts as a leverage – supporting other sectors (health, education,…)
• Shows impact of programmatic intervention and indicate where inputs are needed
CIS Future District government interest -- EDOs offering
full assistance Resolution by District Assembly
NCHD expressed keen interest and supportNADRA offering linkages with database/sharing of dataFor UNICEF it points to specific interventions, which would help it design targeted and integrated programmes.
