NRSP 26th Annual Progress Report 2019-2020ii

I am pleased to present NRSP’s 26th annual report for the year 2019-20. This was again another year of NRSP’s struggle towards rural development, community driven development, poverty alleviation, outreach and access to services for poor and neglected people.

This year COVID-19 was a great challenge for Pakistan, just like the entire world. The entire NRSP’s Programmes made an immense effort to combat COVID-19. Focus of Social Mobilization diverted towards spreading awareness raising among communities on COVID-19 through Community Resource Persons. This drive was carried out in 934 Union Councils of Pakistan which helped spread the COVID-19 precautionary messages among over 5 million people. NRSP remained in coordination with and supported National Command and Operation Center (NCOC). Though frequency of new projects has decline but still NRSP is making efforts to continue programmes and retain staff as much as possible.

During the year 76,548 households were organized; which aggregated to so far organization of 3,622,679 million rural households nationwide into 230,671 COs. Easy and continuous access to micro credit in the form of CIF is being given to rural communities. LSOs are now managing PKR 1,008.97 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 34.7 billion as microcredit during the year. 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, 25 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 is another subsidiary organization of NRSP registered under section 42 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, 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 and during this difficult time of COVID-19; 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


3,622,679 households mobilized across Pakistan

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. 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. 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 year

During the year 2019-20, NRSP was able to organize 76,548 households taking the total membership of COs to 3.6 million. Among these total members, 59% members are women. Total number of VOs stand at 9,781 and LSOs at 862 by the end of June 2020. 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 8,725 (72% are female).

Combatting COVID-19

NRSP believes that responding to COVID-19 situation will cover the phases including (i) prevention of spread of COVID-19, (ii) relief support and (iii) recovery and rehabilitation. As regards to prevention of spread of COVID-19, the WHO has recognized social distancing as the most effective method. Following this requirement, the NRSP has for the time being suspended the meetings of CIs and are currently working directly with the Community Activists/CRPs. The NRSP’s field units have compiled directories of these activists/CRPs. Here the social media, internet and cell phone technologies played a very important role, hence those activists/ CRPs are contacted who are well equipped and literate in

Social Mobilization 1

using this technology. The NRSP’s Social Organizers have established a system of contacting these activists/CRPs on a daily basis and pass on approved messages/printed handouts or banners. They in turn coordinate with local/ district government and the people through phone calls, announcements using loudspeakers or megaphones and other local ways of communication. As soon as the government announced the completion of this phase of prevention and relief, the CIs meetings will be organized to engage people in the recovery and rehabilitation process for which various interventions are already available i.e. vocational and technical skills, microfinance, community investment fund, income generating grants and community physical infrastructures.

Social Mobilization for improvement in the Livelihoods

Over the last 28 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 Trainings 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 Gwadar 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), Government of Punjab funded Tribal Area Development Project, EU funded SUCCESS and 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 and GLLSP, NRSP is the implementing partner for PMUs setup under the provincial P&D departments, and for EU funded SUCCESS and BRACE, NRSP is a direct implementing partner.

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 Programme

Water, Immunization, Sanitation and Education (WISE) programme is a strategic initiative by NRSP to address the persistent issues of unsafe drinking water, low immunization statistics for infants and pregnant mothers, sanitation and hygiene related issues and low enrollment of children in schools. WISE is implemented in partnership with matured LSOs and their CRPs. So far, 132 LSOs in 157 Union Councils across Pakistan have been engaged for planning and execution of this programme; including active engagement of 1,674 subject specific CRPs. This initiative is helping in improvement of SDGs 3, 4 and 6 in targeted areas; i.e., 49% HHs are now accessing safe water for drinking against 15% before the project,

88% of the children stand immunized against 80% before the project and 17,627 out of school children in the targeted areas are enrolled in primary schools. The CRPs and community institutions played a very active role during the COVID-19 pandemic regarding community education, tracing and testing in addition to registration of poor communities with the government support programmes, distribution of PPE among the communities. 190,724 community members have also been educated/made aware on COVID-19. Mass awareness for dissemination of COVID-19 related information was done through mega phones/loud speakers in mosques and public areas and also through print and electronic media using posters and local cable networks.

Social Mobilization and Community Investment Fund

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 EU programmes is PKR 580 million, followed by PPAF with PKR 288 million and NRSP/RSPN and other donors as PKR 241 million. CIF has helped engage community institutions in 442 Union Councils. 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). As of June 2020, 17,734 Community Organizations and 123,351 households benefited from this programme.

Case Study: Spreading the Voice to stay safe from COVID-19

Shagufta Shaheen, is one of the outstanding CRPs trained by the NRSP to undertake specific tasks e.g. spreading messages to other communities. She belongs to LSO Chirah and was part of a training conducted by ICT health

department officials on COVID-19. LSO Chirah comprises of 245 COs, 13 VOs and 4,330 organised households. After the training, Shagufta started visiting rural households in the community, going door-to-door to iterate the proper precautions needed to combat COVID-19. Speaking about her work Shagufta said, “I have given this training to numerous houses in my community by going door-to-door. I try to visit at least 4 households daily, while keeping my own precautionary measures in place such as wearing a mask, washing my hands and keeping a 6 feet distance”. Under this initiative, the CRPs are also working with mosques to ensure social distancing. About the trained male CRPs, Shagufta said, “They make regular announcements in mosques and also disinfect them every week. We have also provided the mosques with soap, sanitisers and masks, drawn proper lines and circles in the mosques to ensure social distancing especially during the holy month of Ramzan.” When asked about people’s reactions, she explained, “Communities have been very receptive to our messages. We have explained to them that the only cure is prevention.” She adds, “People are taking these precautions very seriously especially when it comes to the elderly in their houses. The primary challenge that remains now, is that we continue to protect ourselves. Thankfully, we have no suspected cases yet”.

Future Plans

Increased participation of women and strengthening the community institutions will be the main focus of organization next year.

2019-20 happened to be a very tough year for the entire world due to this Pandemic. Pakistan was already facing an economic crisis and COVID worsened the situation in the country in March 2020. It is very difficult for a country like Pakistan to survive this crisis, where almost 70% of the population is rural, 35% are illiterate and large number of people are under the poverty line. Following the WHO’s guidelines of social distancing; mass awareness raising and smart lock-downs by the Government of Pakistan and civil society organizations were carried out, which worked well. In all previous disasters including floods, earthquakes, IDPs crisis social mobilization played a very significant role where community institutions worked closely with NRSP for damage assessments, identification of beneficiaries, distribution of relief goods, assistance in rehabilitation work and reporting. But this time as the social distancing has to be observed, so meetings between communities and staff and by community institutions themselves were avoided/reduced; so in every programme area community activists/community resource persons were engaged in mass awareness raising campaigns for the public. Over 28,000 Community Organizations, 3,100 Village Organizations and 630 union council level LSOs actively took part in mass awareness raising and supported NRSP in planning/execution of further COVID-19 services in the targeted areas.

Mass awareness raising for public on COVID-19

By June 2020, 8,019 CRPs (59% female) were trained by Government and NRSP who further carried out the mass awareness raising campaigns in 934 union councils of 133 tehsils and 42 districts in all four provinces of Pakistan including Kashmir. NRSP designed the leaflets and banners with clear and easy to understand messages on what is corona virus, what are the symptoms of this diseases, where to contact in case of symptoms, how to protect oneself from this virus including frequently washing hands, following social distancing, avoiding hand shaking, wearing face mask in public and all time in case of flu, avoid touching eyes and nose, proper

way of snitching, properly disposing off used masks/tissue papers, using well cooked food etc. Moreover, to increase personal immunity, messages on taking good diet/nutrient-food, daily exercise, good sleep and daily praying/meditation were also included.

Different means were adopted to carry out the mass awareness raising campaigns including displaying banners, distribution of leaflets, announcements through mobile speakers and in mosques/churches/mandirs and organizing small grouped awareness raising sessions. 24,258 banners were displayed in local markets, community centers, outside major infrastructures including public buildings, places of worship, crowded roads/streets and other places. Leaflets were distributed among 159,602 individuals during door-to-door and shop-to-shop campaigns, people passing by on the major local roads/streets, people coming out of the mosques after prayers and individuals participated in awareness raising sessions carried out by CRPs. For illiterate people, these messages were read in front of them during these campaigns, which were listened by additional people gathered there. 10,867 announcements using mobile speakers were also made in targeted localities by making efforts to cover 100% areas. These messages were delivered via motorcycles, vans and walk-in by the CRPs in different localities and communities. 13,527 announcements were also made in places of worship where CRPs and concerned religious representative (molvi etc) made the announcements. Religious representatives were asked to make and carryout these announcements frequently after prayers or at any other suitable times during the days; so that message could be delivered among more and more people. Over 30,000 small grouped (3 to 9 participants) awareness raising sessions were also carried out by the CRPs in community centers, markets and other places. By June 2020, NRSP was able to reach out and delivered messages to over 5 million people in the targeted areas.

Almost all of the CRPs/Community Activists worked voluntarily. This is one of the examples for a significant impact


and advantage of social mobilization work NRSP has been doing for last more than two and half decades. CRPs which have been working under WISE Programme of NRSP and other ongoing projects like EU funded SUCCESS and BRACE programmes; were paid small monthly honorarium; as agreed under these projects but were engaged to rollout COVID related activities mentioned above.

Social protection supports

As the business/economic activity came to halt or reduced during the lockdowns, it started to suffer the poor especially the daily wagers in urban and peri-urban areas across the country. A support package was a desired need for these families, so that they have sufficient food for their households during the lockdown periods. Though Government of Pakistan started efforts to support this target group in this difficult time through its Ehsaas Programme, representatives of community institutions of NRSP also started identification of these families in their localities and supported them through provision of food items and cash grants. Over 14,000 families were identified and supported with cash grants worth PKR 153.2 million, whereas 65,380 families were supported for access to food and non-food items (soaps, sanitizers, masks etc) worth PKR 64.7 million. In most of these cases financial support was extended by the local philanthropists and NRSP’s donor organizations. Moreover, community activists also supported 144,843 families on how to access and register for Government of Pakistan’s Ehsaas Programme. NRSP also encouraged community representatives to start making masks at home to earn some additional income for their families and make the mask available in areas where there is a shortage. Over 100,000 masks were made by different community members, which they used for their own households and also sold them into local markets.

Support for doctors in health facilities

In this difficult time of pandemic and lockdowns when everyone was being

asked to stay at home and follow the social distancing and personal protection guidelines; doctors and paramedics remained active in government and private health facilities to treat COVID virus affectees and other patients; despite the lack of or insufficient availability of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE). In Pakistan, situation of health system infrastructure, investments, improvements/up-gradation and check and balance has not been satisfactory in the past; this is one of reasons it took long for Government to respond to make PPE and other facilities including sufficient bedding, medicines etc available. Though it was a small contribution but community institutions of NRSP also made efforts to protect doctors/paramedics and equipped health facilities as much as possible. Community institutions identified 129 such health facilities across the country and equipped them by providing 5,202 surgical masks, 1,738 sanitizers and 3,560 soaps. Most of this support was extended by local philanthropists.

COVID-19 focused Projects and Programmes

Almost all donor funded projects and programmes of NRSP faced delays, freeze of programme executions or reduced implementation works; caused by the pandemic. In some cases, donors like EU, WaterAid and others generously offered to extend ongoing projects resources towards combating COVID-19. By June 2020, 10 COVID-19 focused new projects were started with the support of WaterAid, BRSP, PPAF, Unilever, C4ED, Reckitt Benckiser Pakistan and Give2Asia in parts of Sindh, AJK, Punjab and Balochistan. Awareness raising of people on COVID-19, access to personal protection equipment, items, information and messages, availability of relevant community infrastructures like hand washing facilities were the major activities of these projects. 10 additional projects are currently being designed with different local and international donors and expected to start after June, 2020; whereas current donors of NRSP have also shown interest in diverting

7

funds towards combating COVID-19. Importantly, NRSP also adapted according to the situation and made relevant changes in implementation of Social Mobilization, WISE and MF Programmes towards combating COVID-19.

Information flow and reporting

Community institutions and representatives remained the major source of information on different achievements in terms of combating COVID-19. This was because during lockdowns, filed work by the staff members was reduced; though information was verified by the staff members time to time by visiting offices of community institutions and meeting the concerned community representatives. Excelled based data recording and reporting was continued in first few months but later on excess based MIS was developed by NRSP, for which online staff trainings were conducted and reporting was started from regional/filed offices to head office on weekly basis. Weekly bulletin was also issued by NRSP and achievements are regularly being shared with different donor agencies, partners of NRSP, RSPN, Provincial Governments of Pakistan and NCOC (National Command and Operation Center, Govt. of Pakistan); though all information is regularly being updated on NRSP’s website as well.

Coordination with NCOC

Corona Pandemic has compelled Pakistani system to come up with a powerful new institution, the NCOC, without which country would have found it difficult to keep itself politically united against the pandemic. Besides Pakistan Army, Intelligence Agencies and Provincial Governments; NRSP was also asked to support NCOC; having vast outreach of community institutions in the country. Government under the guidelines of NCOC trained NRSP’s volunteers who further carried out the mass awareness raising activities and tracking of COVID cases across the country. NRSP is regularly reporting the progress with NCOC and participating in review meetings with NCOC. NRSP’s volunteers were also given awards by PM Imran Khan on remarkable work done by these activists.

NRSP’s operational management during COVID

As initially the cases were very few, NRSP kept its offices open and operations running. NRSP’s administration started awareness raising and sensitizing its staff about safety measures through online sessions and email communications. Lockdown began on March 23rd in Sindh and AJK and on March 24th in Punjab, Balochistan and partially in KP. On March 26th, 2020, as per Government directions, NRSP management decided to reduce the number of staff working in NRSP’s offices; by making staff rosters, office timings were changed to 10am (open) and 4pm (close); with Friday as work from home. As per SECP’s guidelines NRSP offered its MF clients that they may defer payment of principal amount for up to 12 months or they may submit a request to reschedule their loan. Delays in execution of projects were also communicated to concerned donors. Since the start of the lockdown, NRSP started frequent online meetings with staff, regional teams, donors and partners; which have been so far very successful in kept reviewing and running the programme smoothly. NRSP encouraged its staff to take benefit from online courses for their professional development. Women and aged staff members were recommended to continue work from home. Virus affected staff members or their families were asked to quarantine themselves and remain in touch with HR department.

Future Plans

NRSP will keep exploring and will remain in touch with current and other donors for the initiation of COVID focused projects across the country. Organization has started efforts and will explore more to benefit as much as possible from the technologies during this pandemic to run the development programmes smoothly. NRSP plans to resume the operations once the situation get ease, keeping in view the government’s directives.

NRSP focuses on a comprehensive Gender Mainstreaming Policy and regularly updates Gender Action Plan for core programmes and all the donor funded projects. The Gender and Development (GAD) unit is responsible for assessing the core programmes, all projects and interventions at the design stage as well as during implementation and evaluation stage from a gender lens so that any deviations from NRSP policy are identified and remedied timely. NRSP works closely with specialized institutions such as White Ribbon Campaign to address violence against Women, PISA, NHSD, End Violence against Women Coalition (EVAW), Mehrgarh, UNWomen, UNOCHA and others to ensure its complete compliance. NRSP was also one of the first organizations to adopt the Protection against Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2010 and now ensuring compliance.


This year NRSP worked hard on participation of increased number of rural women as part of its development programmes. This year, women membership in the community institutions stood at 85%, 59% of the trained community individuals were women and 75% of the microfinance clients were women. Based on a legal empowerment project implemented by NRSP last year, NRSP has mainstreamed some of its learning in the core social mobilization and WISE programme. In this case, community members/CRPs will be trained and people will have access to information and services regarding legal issues they face. Like previous years, GAD has reviewed different sectoral procedural guidelines, policies, manuals and new projects

being designed through gender lens and provided its constructive feedback to the management; particularly HR manual, Gender and Development policy of NRSP. Gender, Ethics and Appeal Committee of NRSP remained active in implementation of NRSP’s GAD policy and the department remained engaged in different gender resource groups within and outside the organization for consultations, information sharing, linkages development etc. Gender related complaints were also addressed during the year, by following all the procedural principles. Organization has also designed and won AAWAZ-2 project during the reporting year. Moreover, different GAD policies of NRSP were reviewed, revised and approved by the management.

the process of making communities aware on importance of girls’ education and rights; and providing access to missing educational services. A baseline exercise was carried out before the execution of the interventions which helped finalize an implementation strategy for this project. Later on, communities were engaged through FGDs, open community discussions, enrollment campaigns, activation of SMCs, formation of mother and children groups and media. By the end of this project in December, 2019, 6,329 girls have been enrolled in formal schools against the project target of 4,800. Besides, in 133 targeted schools, 295 teachers and 133 SMCs have been trained, teaching materials have been developed, missing facilities including drinking water, toilets, boundary walls, furniture, supports kits, study corners were provided in 33 schools and mass awareness raising campaigns through

meetings, FGDs, community sessions and media (radio) were carried out in the programme areas. Interventions are helping sustain the enrollment, which is a good sign. Second phase of this project started from February, 2020 which will support additional schools in the same district.

Sughar Women’s learning and skills development project

Under this initiative, the Sughar has provided financial and technical support to NRSP to set up Sughar hubs in Thatta. Each Hub provides 6-month courses to rural women focusing on developing the indigenous skills of the tribal women, providing enterprise training, teaching life skills, 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 fully established and 210 women selected for vocational skills trainings.

Women training in Livestock Management

In rural Pakistan women are largely engaged in livestock management at household level and traditional livestock management practices result in reduced/limited livestock productivity. Keeping this in view PSDF initiated a project to train 2,000 young women in Chakwal and

Khushab on best livestock management practices; so that livestock productivity and overall household income is increased. By June, 2020; 100% targets of this project are achieved. Women who were identified by the LSOs participated actively in 45 days training, which were certified by the Agriculture University, Rawalpindi and now are playing a very productive economic role as part of their families.

Case Study: A Frontline Community Activist in Fight against COVID-19 Pandemic

Ms. Meher Ul Nissa is a Councilor and community activist from village Memon Ki Wasi in Union Council Matiari, district Matiari. 53 percent households in the village live below the poverty line. Total 62% children including 71% girls were out of school in the village. When social mobilisation of the poorest households started in the village in 2016, all women were first reluctant to get organised. Ms. Meher was the one who agreed to lead her community.

“Leading from the front I gathered all community members for organisation even though I was not sure about the impact of the programme at that time.” Said Meher, President of Matiari LSO. When COVID-19 pandemic hit Pakistan, Ms. Meher was the one who led her community from the front in fight against COVID-19 pandemic. “These past few months have been very challenging for my community members and me. Almost, every household lost income because of no work opportunities and restriction on movement due to lockdown. To protect my community members from COVID-19, I along with my colleagues from my LSO started community awareness raising sessions with support from the NRSP which trained me on COVID-19 preventive measures and relief activities. I visited each and every household part of our LSO to educate them on COVID-19 precautionary measures and provide them relief during such a testing time.” Said Meher. In April 2020, when the Government of Sindh constituted Relief Committees at the UC level in every district of the province, so, Ms. Meher was also made part of the committee of her UC. “I along with my colleagues from our LSO facilitated registration

of 700 poor households with the Ehsaas Emergency Cash Programme, distributed ration bags to 450 households through support of the Sindh Government Relief Committee and community philanthropists, and provided soaps to 500 households through financial support of WaterAid and community philanthropists.” Said Meher. She feels happy while helping and easing lives of her community members. Other initiatives carried out by her LSO include: tree plantation, facilitating 500 people for CNICs, building sewerage system in her village, installation of 50 hand pumps in her UC and distribution of sewing machines among SUCCESS programme TVST beneficiaries through support of other development organisation. “Now, when I see change in the lives of my community members, my motivation increases for provision of more such support to the poorest households in the village.” Said Meher.

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.

Supporting MF Clients during Pandemic

COVID-19 caused economic recessions and almost halted the business activities globally and in Pakistan. Being a responsible organization, having built a good relationship with the MF clients and complying with the global practices and national policies; NRSP took one step forward and decided to give relief to its MF clients. To face this difficult time, NRSP gave three options to its active clients i.e. (i) Pay the service charges of loan amount and defer repayment of principal loan installments amount, (ii) defer loan installments and reschedule the payment of services charges and principle and (iii) Pay the loan as per the previously set schedule. 99% of the client of NRSP availed the second option; which helped them reschedule the payments with a delay of certain months.

Case Study: Alma’s Hopes for Success Lies in Diversification of Sources of Income

Ms. Alma, 32, mother of five children, is from village Odero Lal Station. Her husband is a cook by profession In 2016, when SUCCESS Programme started, her household was identified as ultra-poor. NRSP field teams organised her household along with other poor

households into a community organisation. After becoming CO member and initial household level planning exercise, she aspired for dress design and sewing and received two months training. After training she started her work and was able to earn Rs. 4,000 per month. She saved all of her earnings because her husband was earning enough to support family expenditures. She bought five goats through her savings. She now uses their milk for food and sells the remaining to a tea-hotel on the highway. Later, she took two interest free loans of Rs. 15,000 and Rs. 20,000 from CIF under the SUCCESS programme. She invested these loans into opening a Pakora shop and buying a calf. She sells Pakora two times in a day and earns Rs. 200 per day. She has planned to sell her calf on upcoming Eid at higher price to pay her second loan and invest the remaining money in other productive and income generating activity. She thanks to the EU and NRSP for enabling her to earn and contribute to her household income. “Life would have been very difficult for my family particularly in such testing and uncertain times because of COVID-19 if my household have had no other means of income. My husband supports me in all my activities and we live a happy life”

Future Plans

To make systems more efficient and for reliable services for its MF clients, NRSP plans to explore and focus on use of advanced technologies. Financial and tech literacy will also be focused for clients.

One of the three principles that the RSPs follow for sustainable development include skills enhancement. NRSP’s HRD programme focuses on designing, implementing and managing the capacity building of communities as well as professional staff. To the extent possible and considering the convenience of the participants coming from far flung areas, NRSP arranges training in technical and vocational skills in partnership with the concerned government technical and vocational training institutes.


During 2019-20, NRSP HRD conducted around 9,194 training events and 181,392 persons participated in these staff and community training events. Out of this 171,707 were trained through community training programme (59% women) in various subjects with a significant increase in number of young trainees. 9,685 staff members (36% women) were trained through various local, national and international training activities.

Community Trainings

It comprises of the following broad categories:

Social Mobilization

The training in social mobilization aims at building capacities of NRSP staff including social organizers and community resource persons in dealing with local situation following some basic rules and values.

Community Management Training

The community management training portfolio aims to harness the potential of members of the community institutions, building capacities of CRPs. This programme helps equip them with the required skills for social mobilization, leadership, management of community investment funds, gender sensitization, business planning, monitoring, linkages and implementation of community initiatives. During the reporting year, 6,182 members (93% women) participated in these type of trainings.

Gender Sensitization

In the light of NRSP’s gender mainstreaming policy and AASHA code of conduct, NRSP integrate gender sensitization modules in its all training programs, the main objective of gender sensitization is to promote gender equity and equality, enhance women participation in socio-economic development, educating communities about women rights and legislative measures. During the reporting period, 107 community members (40% women) participated in gender sensitization events.

Training in CIF Management

The main purpose of CIF is to provide a capital grant by the NRSP to Community Institutions (CIs) i.e. COs, VOs, and LSOs. The objective of CIF management training is to enhance the capacity of CIs in business planning, banking, microfinance, use of information technology, transparency and book keeping for effective and efficient utilization of CIF in the benefit of communities on sustainable basis. In 2019-20 332 community members (24% women) were trained for managing CIF under SUCCESS and BRACE Programmes funded by the EU.

Environment and Natural Resource Management Training Programme

This includes Environment, agriculture, livestock, poultry, fisheries and technologies to combat the adverse impact of climate change and to increase the productivity. During the year, 1,786 individuals (85% women) were trained under ENRMTP.

Social Sector Training Programme

The training under SSS covers a very wide range of subjects of education, health and social protection. During the year 3,590 (73% women) were trained in these subjects.

Physical Infrastructure, Disaster, Relief and Rehabilitation

In order to ensure sustainability, protection, effectiveness and efficient function of community infrastructure schemes, a total of 171 community members (59% women) were trained during the reporting year.

Workshops (Activists, Subject Specialist, WISE, Social Protection)

The objectives of these workshops were community education, awareness, sensitization, linkages development, promotion of best practices, advocacy, behavioral change and experience

sharing. The key areas are social mobilization, health, education, sanitation, water safety, child protection, human rights, women protection, climate change and awareness about Covid-19. To-date, a total of 3.4 million men, women (60%), youth and children participated in these events. During the reporting year 153,077 (83% women) community members participated in these events.

Staff Training Programme

Three training programmes are the core regular capacity building initiatives for NRSP staff i.e., (a) Orientation Training Workshop (OTW) (b) Gender Sensitization and (c) Management of micro credit programme. NRSP is recognized as the prime organization imparting OTW training in social mobilization and rural development along with gender sensitization. NRSP also imparts project specific training in social mobilization and other programme and support sectors. In order to meet the ever-changing needs of the microfinance sector and to remain relevant and competitive, NRSP has also arranged international training exposure. NRSP has developed a partnership with the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand to impart custom made training to NRSP MF staff. Similarly, for the MER staff members, a partnership has been developed with the Centre for Evaluation & Development (C4ED), a research institute in Germany. During the reporting year, 9,685 staff members were trained taking the cumulative number to 87,923 (36% female).

Orientation/Training of government officials

Case Study: Women in Sindh find the courage to take power

Fozia Khaskheli studied to become a biologist. Instead she ended up in development work. What she experienced working with the women of rural Sindh transformed her. Just as her work helped transform them. Her father is a writer and poet who appreciated education and she earned a Bachelors in Biology before applying for a job with NRSP. At the time she was just looking for work; she knew nothing about development. Nonetheless, NRSP was looking for a female social organizer and she was hired. “I joined NRSP in 2000. At that time, I had no idea about development. I just wanted a job”. Then there was the area itself. Matiari is a rich agricultural area with an abundant supply of bananas, mangoes, wheat and vegetables. Conditions in Sujawal, by contrast, were miserable. People had no access to clean and safe water or the other basic facilities of life. Due to the water shortages, the crop production was also poor and malnourishment was rife. Women had no access to maternity and child delivery facilities. “I had only seen such deplorable human conditions in documentaries. Seeing the plight of these people changed me. Helping to transform the lives of poor people became a passion.” NRSP was establishing the offices from scratch and there were many challenges, quite apart from those posed by her gender. “The male staff didn’t involve me in activities. They felt that microfinance and field work was too difficult for a woman. There’s a lot of paperwork and often we had to work late into the evening. But financial independence is central to empowerment and I was determined. I was also a quick learner. I believe people need guidance and money to make investments in order to change their lives. I loved my work, so was adamant to do it. It was very tough to organise the women. They had to get permission from their husbands and landowners to come to our meetings”. Overcoming the resistance of male colleagues was the easy part. Working with the women beneficiaries was especially challenging. “It was very tough to organise the women. They had to get permission from their husbands and landowners to come to our meetings”. But the most important initiative to help empower women came five years ago with the EU funded SUCCESS

programme. “SUCCESS is the first programme led by women and I think it has been very positive. Women have been organized, they have been trained, given financial support and included in the decision making and development process. They open bank accounts, run their organisations, make decisions, and contribute to their respective community development.” 5 years ago the women often had to drop out of trainings because of negative remarks. Today they run organisations and meet government officials. The men are seeing the benefits to their families and are gradually more accepting. “The main success of the programme for me is how differently people think and act now. Even if they are not earning a great deal, the change in their approach to problem solving is a huge success of this programme”. And that change has been tested by the COVID-19 pandemic. It was the women organisations and their leaders, trained over decades by the RSPs, who led this fight, keeping their families and communities safe.

Future Plans

Trainings on agriculture productivity enhancement, for small farmers, vocational and technical skills training for community members and improving individual skills on IT will be the main focus of NRSP next year.

21Physical Infrastructure and Technology Development

The purpose of the PITD sector of NRSP is to demonstrate the engagement of the community in collective planning and management of public services. The PITD implements Community Physical Infrastructure (CPIs) schemes where the COs/VOs plan, implement and take care of operation and maintenance of the completed schemes. This approach helps optimize the use of local resources and materials without involving high technology in design, development and construction processes. The CPIs are generally low risk schemes in terms of environmental hazards and most schemes in fact improve the environmental conditions.


In 2019-20, the PITD section initiated 900 new schemes across 810 villages worth PKR 733 million. Community members invested PKR 64 million as community share while the remaining PKR 669 million was provided by the donors. 624 schemes were completed in 2019-20, benefiting 32,894 households. These schemes had a financial outlay of PKR 471 million and were funded by EU, PEF, IFAD, Government of Punjab, WaterAid and NRSP. During the year, the most significant investment was made in DWSS and Sanitation schemes worth PKR 255 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 shows types of schemes completed during the year. While all types of CPIs benefit all the members of households, the sanitation and safe

drinking water schemes directly benefitted women and children as traditionally managing water and sanitation has been the responsibility of women in rural areas.

Access to Safe Drinking Water

NRSP is making efforts to provide reliable sources of drinking water for remote rural communities across Pakistan. During the year, NRSP implemented 157 water supply schemes including hand pumps, water reservoirs, water wells and water supply pipelines having significant impact on the health of rural households and saving significant time for women/families who walk a long distances to collect water from wells, springs and canals. The cost incurred in implementing these schemes was PKR 113 million including PKR 3.8 million contribution from the local communities; benefitting over 7,000 rural households. PPAF, European Union and IFAD are the major donors. To-date, 7,484 water supply schemes have been constructed worth PKR 1.75 billion, which benefited 292,320 households across Pakistan.

Agriculture and Irrigation

Irrigation is the most important factor of production in agriculture. For last two decades NRSP has been working to give access the rural communities and small farmers with irrigation infrastructure including canals, karezes, mini dams, pipe irrigation, sprinklers and lift irrigation systems. During the reporting year, 90 agricultural schemes worth PKR 84.9 million were completed that benefited 2,000 households/farmers. To-date, 12,321 agriculture schemes have been constructed worth PKR 2.9 billion, which

Figure 8: Province wise distribution of initiated schemesFigure 7: Schemes Completed as of June 2020

benefited 167,395 households across Pakistan.

Construction of Communication Infrastructure

NRSP works with rural communities for construction of communication infrastructures including link roads, small bridges, foot tracks and pathways etc. During the year, 25 such communication infrastructure schemes worth PKR 22.6 million, have been completed, benefitting 1,112 households across Pakistan. The implementation of communication infrastructure schemes not only indicate an increase in economic activities but also shows active women participation in development initiatives. To-date, 3,629 communication infrastructure schemes have been constructed worth PKR 1.6 billion, which benefited 258,938 households.

Sewerage and Sanitation

Improper and inadequate sewerage systems not only spread water borne diseases but also create unhygienic environment within the houses and around the community. Therefore, to tackle this grave issue, NRSP has been working with rural communities to improve sewerage and sanitation systems across Pakistan. During the reporting year, 180 sewerage and sanitation infrastructure schemes worth PKR 142.8 million have been completed. These schemes were able to benefit 7,924 households. European Union, PPAF and

Water Aid are the main funding sources for constructing sewerage and drainage related infrastructure. To-date, 3,798 sewerage and sanitation schemes have been constructed worth PKR 2.4 billion, benefitting 312,882 households across Pakistan.

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 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 13 renewable energy infrastructure schemes have been completed worth PKR 7.7 million, which benefited 156 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. A new concept “energy poverty” is being addressed under Shell Tameer Project (Bahawalpur) in which solar tube well and solar flour mills are being made available for local communities. To-date, 5,694 renewable energy schemes have been constructed worth PKR 2.1 billion, which benefited 61,067 households across Pakistan.

Small Housing

Pakistan, as most developing nations, is confronting an intense deficiency of lodging. This deficiency is antagonistically influencing the everyday environments of a huge number of individuals, especially the individuals who fall in the financially underserved section of the populace. To address this issue, NRSP has given housing to in excess of 50,000 households under various projects including the South Punjab Poverty Alleviation Program (SPPAP funded by GoP/IFAD), post floods 2010 and Earthquake 2005 rehabilitation and reconstruction process.

Case Study: Initial Socio Economic Impact – Small Housing Unit

Poor and low-income groups in rural areas are engaged in agriculture labor and mostly as tenants. These tenancy arrangements restrict livelihood opportunities because they solely rely on their landlords’ bestowed places, usually mud structure single room for the entire family, without access to proper water and sanitation. These tenancy agreements continue from one generation to the other working for the same landlord. Halima Bibi experienced same life patron of tenancy before living in this SPPAP funded small housing unit. With her nine family members she lived on a landlord given place for years and engaged in farming labor of their landlord. In return, they only used to receive wheat grains for the whole year or infrequent monthly monetary wages, usually PKR 5,000. Halima’s need for small land plot was identified through community organization Kot Himraj-C of UC Sawaywala, Tehsil Bahawalnagar. After shifting into the new housing unit, family have multiple opportunities of income generation. Before, Halima and her daughters had an additional responsibility of taking care of landlord’s livestock. Their landlord also took their services in different family events for nothing.. Halima used to get worry for insecure future of her children. But blessing of small housing unit not only

strengthened this family economically but also made their future socially secured. “Today I am in front of you; you can feel my happiness from the smile on my face. This house in not only permanent shelter for me but it is also a guarantee of secured future for my children. Now we are enjoying an independent life. Sense of social freedom and ownership of land gave us empowerment to choose better livelihood options, make decisions freely and educate our children. Now my husband is running his own vegetable and fruit shops and earn money on daily basis. I and my daughters still do farming labor in crop season but now we are not restricted to one landlord instead we can work at different fields wherever we get more benefit and feel comfortable. My son is now attending school. We eat fresh and have better sleep under the ceiling fan of solar energy system.”

Future Plans

Access to reliable alternatives and renewable energy sources will be the main focus of PITD next year. In addition, Biomass will be explored for scale-up.

25Environment 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, forestry 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 (Green Pakistan Programme-MoCC, Forest Departments of Govt.), NARC, PTC etc were able to raise and plant over 10 million fruit and forest trees, plants and saplings nationwide.


During the year, NRSP worked with 16 departments of Government of Punjab, 8 of Sindh, 5 of Balochistan, 3 of KP and 5 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 2,142 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. Under various projects 36,957 poorest households also received livestock (small and large animals) as productive assets which were procured in close collaboration with livestock experts. Supporting the fishermen community in the coastal areas of Balochistan is yet another core ENRM function at NRSP.

Forestation and Kitchen Gardening

Forestation is a regular activity part of NRSP’s core Programme. It is remarkable to note that since inception NRSP with the support and engagement of rural communities have raised and planted over 10 million fruit and forest trees, plants and saplings nationwide. Communities are regularly made aware on importance of forestation and consequences of de-forestation and in most of the cases facilitated with free saplings and plants of fruits and trees. Kitchen gardening is another important activity being promoted at household levels which directly addresses the food security issues. There are many examples where NRSP was able to successfully implement forestation as major or sub-component of different projects. One of the successful example is SLBAP Project. Plantation of forest and fruit trees was the major activity under NRM component of SLBAP. This activity was initiated in 96 UCs of six project districts. NRSP conducted an assessment of this activity in Kaloor Kot (Bhakkar); which is one of the projects UCs. 96 beneficiaries were facilitated with 726 fruit and forest saplings each; including provision of petter engine in some cases. 82% of forest plantation was done for Eucalyptus saplings; whereas Babul (Kikar) and Tamarix (Farash) were the other major forest plants. As a whole 6% saplings were planted for fruits which include Citrus, Lemon,

Tree plantation under Clean Green Pakistan at Gujar Khan , VC Arid Agriculture university - Prof. Dr. Qamar uz Zaman planted plant in field area during farmer field day


Guava, Ziziphus Mauritiana (Baairr) etc. Enormous increase in income of beneficiaries and environmental changes in terms of decrease in soil’s salinity was reported. COs, VOs and LSOs in the UC; have adopted this activity to continue it on sustainable basis.

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 31 districts of Punjab and Sindh. As a result of this project 471 tons of high yield and rust resistance wheat seeds were distributed amongst small farmers. Successfully, this wheat seed variety was multiplied on 9,420 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. 9,487 farmers were trained on various aspects

of wheat crop, seed production and on farm research.

Increasing climate resilience

NRSP implemented a World Bank supported project in Mirpurkhas (Sindh) whose focus was to develop climate smart agriculture plans to address productivity and food security issues faced by the local communities due to change in climate. Project was implemented successfully in selected villages of Mirpurkhas and savings from the project were further utilized in additional villages from district Bhakkar, Rajanpur (Punjab) and Mirpurkhas. NRSP took the expertise of Climate, Energy and Water Research Institute (National Agriculture Research Center) Islamabad and carried out baseline survey to identify the productivity enhancement issues faced by the farmers due to changing climate. After the extensive baseline exercise which involved detailed discussions with the local communities and farmers; constructive recommendations were made to the locals which includes adaptation of new agriculture technologies, discourage flood/over irrigation practices, demonstration and sowing of new varieties of crops, considering time and whether for cropping practices, cropping practices which can save water, tree plantation etc. Local people were also made aware on the impacts of climate change and how to address the associated issues and over 300,000 tree saplings were planted. Project helped small farmers towards adaptation of climate smart agriculture and will address the food security issues.

Productivity enhancement through extension services

This NRSP’s own initiative intended to fill the gaps of services and information, which causes low farm productivity. Soil and underground water tests for over 2,000 farmers were carried out and proper recommendations were made to the farmers as per the test results. Besides, new varieties of wheat and other crops were introduced and farmers in various villages of Hafizabad were linked with public and private agriculture extension service providers including the microfinance institutions.

Equine animal support project

In Pakistan, livestock is taken care of by the farmers because production of milk, meat and good selling price/market of livestock is associated with it; and so they are taken care for vaccination, de-worming, proper and timely access to water and fodder and they are also kept clean. On the other hand the equine animals including donkeys, horses etc do not get so much attention compared to productive livestock. Since last many years, Brooke Pakistan is supporting NRSP to make efforts for better equine management in rural areas. Currently, a four years project (2017 to 2021) is being implemented in 45 villages of districts Bahawalnagar and Sargodha which is ensuring access to vaccination, timely and sufficient access to drinking water, shelters, proper rest for equine animals etc. Moreover, people are being made aware of best practices for equine management, CLEWs are being trained and engaged in the local areas, healthy equine animal competitions are being organized and local community platforms are being linked with the project to ensure sustainability.

Case Study: Impacts of IGGs on Livelihoods

NRSP is implementing an EU funded 5 years long SUCCESS Programme in four districts of Sindh. Besides social mobilization and organization, women empowerment, skills enhancements, community infrastructure development, micro health insurance, IGG (Income Generating Grants) for people under the poverty line is also one of the major components of this project. According to a mid-term review exercise carried out by the Rural Support Programmes Network (RSPN); until the reporting year, PKR 245 million has been disbursed to the village organisations, which is 86% of the target. After the sub-granting, the village organisations have been able to disburse PKR 194 million as IGGs among 14,502 of the poorest households. The IGG beneficiary households have invested the IGG in livestock (99.4%) followed by micro enterprises (0.1%) and agriculture (0.5%). As per the Mid Term Review survey report, around 43% of the

IGG beneficiaries stated that they have learned to manage livestock and/or own businesses in a better way, while 47% said that the livestock bought with the grants had yielded offspring and 11.6% said they have money to spend on transportation to purchase and sell livestock. The MTR report however, observed that the amount of the IGGs needs to be increased and the investment options need to be linked with market needs.

Future Plans

While continuing its support to small farmers in agriculture, livestock, forestry and fisheries, NRSP will make efforts to promote climate smart agriculture.

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.


During the year, SHP continued its efforts for designing and execution of new projects which could benefit directly the poor and marginalized segments of the society, by addressing their different socio-economic needs. New partnerships have been development and private sectors including Shell Pakistan and others are being encouraged to invest into development sector. Targeted interventions have been designed for BISP’s beneficiaries like specific skills trainings in an effort to lift them above the poverty line. SHP initiated a project with Sughar Foundation to target and empower the poor, marginalized and women. NRSP has received different certifications/recognitions from donors/partner-organizations on successful completion of different projects.

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, 2020, 10,437 persons have been treated among which 2,950 were provided with above knee prosthetic limb and 4,181 were facilitated with below prosthetic knee limb. 880 persons were provided orthotics support (calipers) while upper limb prostheses were provided to 61 patients. Furthermore, 1,209 persons were

provided with crutches while 2,359 limbs were repaired for existing beneficiaries. However, during the year 1,076 persons benefited from this intervention. Project is continued with the funding of NRSP.

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.

Solutions to energy poverty project

Since last 2 years, Shell Pakistan has been engaging NRSP and allocating resources from its CSR funds for addressing different socio-economic issues faced by rural communities in Pakistan. Basti Bulla Baloch is a remote village in district Muzaffargrah, nearby one of the Shell’s oil refinery. After some initial needs assessments, it was decided to initiate an access to renewable energy project in the village; so that desired energy needs be addressed. A solar tube-well and a solar flour mill were installed in the village from which the local households are benefiting by paying minimum charges. Moreover, 40 fuel efficient stoves were

also made available and communities were linked with the private companies from where people can buy solar home appliances.

Case Study: Ms. Farzana responds to COVID-19 and Its Impacts on her community

Tackling complex emergencies like novel COVID-19 requires resilient and hardworking community leadership particularly in rural areas where access to information and relief are unavailable to the poorest and marginalized sections of the society. Since the spread of novel COVID-19, women leaders of the community institutions in rural areas of Sindh are playing central role in solving the issues being faced by the people. Here we cover the story of Ms. Farzana, how she is responding to the COVID-19 in her area.

Ms. Farzana is General Secretary of Local Support Organization at Rawat Laghari, district Tando Allahyar, Sindh. She was recently nominated as member of one of the COVID-19 Relief Committees constituted at Union Council level in all districts of the province by Government of Sindh to facilitate relief activities and distribution of ration to the needy people whose means of livelihoods were affected by the lock down to contain spread of COVID-19. The lock down had alarmed her about the vulnerability of food security of her community because of the chronic poverty in the area. She never ever imagined that people will one day run after survival due to lack of basic amenities of life. COVID-19 had brought everything to standstill within a week. Thanks to the European Union funded Sindh Union Council and Community Economic Strengthening Support (SUCCESS) Programme which organized her community into three tier structure of CO, VO and LSO, of which she became member of the CO in her mohallah and General Secretary of the LSO. Later on, she got community management and leadership skills training to cope with challenges being faced by her community. Thus, solving community problems has become her daily routine and practice.

Talking about her appointment as member to the COVID-19 Relief Committee she said “the linkages and collaboration we developed with the government departments and local government representatives through the Joint Development Committee have benefited us in many ways: ensured participation of women in development process, provided avenues of moving forward and contributing to community development, and representing community in times like now a days when the community is almost completely dependent on help from government and charity organizations. These partnerships for community driven development in the past have given me a limelight to represent my Union Council in the Government of Sindh constituted COVID-19 Relief Committee”.

She feels happy to see herself contributing positively to her community through her leadership and activism. Through COVID-19 Relief Committee, she has been able to reach almost all poorest households whose poverty score was below 11 according to the poverty scorecard census conducted under the SUCCESS Program in 2016. As of today, she has distributed ration to more than 200 poorest households in her Union Council.

She thinks women in her community are the worst affected segment of this pandemic. Before lockdown, they were doing intense labor in the agriculture fields to earn bread for their households and now they have to struggle and walk miles for getting ration and relief. Nonetheless, COVID-19 Relief Committee provide them ration at their door steps so that they remain in their homes for safety against COVID-19. During the days, when she gets free from relief activities she conducts community awareness sessions on preventive measures such as washing hands with soap frequently, keeping social distancing, avoiding touching eyes, nose and mouth, practicing respiratory hygiene and wearing face-mask. “This is the first time I am supporting and suggesting women to remain at home to keep themselves healthy and safe from Coronavirus. I understand, if anyone from these rural areas gets infected by this virus then this will further drag down the household under the poverty line.” The work, commitment, passion and leadership of Ms. Farzana reflect the responsible, proactive and positive

attitude of women and their response to the COVID-19 in the country. If men can realize this fact in pandemic as well as in normal days, it would be always good for their shared and collective development and prosperity.

Future Plans

SHP will continue to design, test and replicate products and projects for the most vulnerable segments of our society. NRSP’s SHP section is currently working on designing progamme packages for returnee migrants from middle-east and for this purpose is seeking to get a license from Bureau of Immigration and Employment, Govt. of Pakistan.

Social Sector Services - Education

NRSP works to enhance the access to basic education of under privileged youth and children in rural areas of Pakistan by participating in various programmes and projects that recognize community participation as the main strategy. Main thematic areas of NRSP’s Education Progrmame are:

• Facilitating the COs/VOs/LSOs in their agenda of participation in education related activities and increasing enrollment through effective community participation

• Establishment and Support for Community Schools, Early Childhood Education, Non-Formal Education for children rescued from Child Labour

• Capacity Building of SMCs/SCs, Teachers and government officials

• Provision of missing facilities in Government and Private Schools

• Provision of Education in Emergencies

• Adult Literacy• Special attention to include girls and

women in education process

Working around these thematic areas, NRSP is aiming to improve basic indicators of education. These are increased enrolment, enhanced capacity of teachers and government officials, SMC members and sensitization of communities to send children, particularly girls to schools. As of June 2020, NRSP has enrolled 848,066 children (48% girls), engaged 553,449 SMC members, 73,886 teachers and government officials have been trained.


Implementation of all projects and programme remained suspended due to COVID 19 after March 2020. However, during the suspension period, most of the project teams remained engaged in educating the communities about COVID and provided support to communities through VECs, teachers and CRPs. Funds flow from various government support programme also remained a challenge though the allied schools benefitted with the support of special funds allocation by Govt. of Punjab and UNESCO.

Adult literacy was again focused under the BRACE project while MHM and school WASH remained main focus of interventions sponsored by WISE and WaterAid.

Education Initiatives of NRSP’s WISE Programme

Access to basic education is fundamental right of each child and NRSP is making efforts under WISE to make this a reality by convincing parents to enroll their children and send them to school regularly. They are also supported in terms of capacity building of related school’s infrastructure and teachers. This is aligned with school education department efforts as well. SED, local leadership and parents are engaged in prioritizing the budget allocations and activities which facilitate school education service delivery at local level. LSOs also try to link up with local philanthropists and projects to generate support for school and poor students. Under WISE Programme, 298,971 HHs have been made aware on importance of child education. During this period, 17,627 out of school children have been enrolled, 119 public schools are supported for missing facilities, mainly regarding WASH and furniture and 1,939 children are provided bags, stationery or uniforms.

Punjab and Sindh Education Foundations Initiatives

NRSP and Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) entered into partnership to establish community schools in 9 districts of Punjab. Two programmes i.e., New School Programme (NSP) and Public-School Support Programme (PSSP) were funded by PEF. PSSP was later taken over by independent authority of Punjab Education Initiative Management Authority (PEIMA). Schools were identified by the PEF/PEIMA through community requests and needs referred by department of education. New schools were established under NSP on the pattern of community school initially or Public Schools were taken over for management with the help of VEC/School Councils under PSSP.

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 are also being made available and/or rehabilitated. During the year, 35,251 children benefited under these programme. 403 Schools benefited from access to missing facilities. 5,716 teachers were trained under various disciplines.

NRSP is also conducting a research with collaboration of Washington University at St Luis and Lahore School of Economic for finding reasons to ensure inclusion of children in every segment of society for effective learnings in schools.

NRSP also signed an agreement with Sindh Education Foundation in April 2017 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 which facilitated 654 Adolescents (10-17 years) and 335 Adults.

Waseela e Taleem Programme

Through WeT Programme quarterly conditional assistance of PKR 750 per child is extended to BISP’s UCT beneficiary family to promote primary education among their children aged 4 to 12. The payments are linked with quarterly verifications (through compliance monitoring) of child’s minimum 70% attendance in each month, till the time child completes primary education. NRSP entered into partnership with BISP in March, 2018 for the implementation of this project in 6 districts including Jhang, Muzaffargrah and Rajanpur (Punjab), Haveli and Neelum (Azad Jamu and Kashmir) and

Mardan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa). Total 359,879 BISP beneficiaries’ families have been registered so far and will benefit from the project, with an expected enrollment of 842,495 children. BISP Beneficiary Committees (BBCs) are being formed which are led by Women Learners (WLs). These community groups are raising the voice to promote WeT Programme and are being engaged to ensure enrollment of children and control dropout ratios.

Take a Child to School Project

Take a Child to School (TACS) was started in the year 2015 to improve 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 more than 30 Union Councils of Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar, Lodhran, Vehari and Rajanpur; in which 12,192 students were enrolled. To attract higher enrollment, recreational activities including sports, competitions were also made part of the project; which proved to be quite successful.

Case Study: Imam Zadi’s Dynamic Leadership and Activism Leads Her Community to Success

It’s a pleasant windy December day in village Haji Pir Dino Bejora in Union Council Bello, district Sujawal. The lush green rice paddies and cool winds make the weather nice but the road leading to village is marshy and difficult to travel on. The village lacks basic facilities of life and most of its inhabitants live in chronic poverty. According to poverty scorecard census conducted under the EU funded SUCCESS programme in 2016, overall 56% households in the village live below

off by changing behaviors and improving livelihoods of poor rural communities. “Earlier, women and girls didn’t know about organisations and savings. They used to avoid polio vaccination but SUCCESS programme community awareness sessions on health and immunization changed their perspectives. I know many women of my village who have got CIF and IGGs from SUCCESS programme and have bought goats and buffaloes’ which I think is a good asset for them to come out of chronic poverty.”

Future Plans

NRSP aims to make the enrollment of children sustained and improve in children learning and skills in the schools it managed or where it got the children enrolled under various enrollment focus programme like WISE, GREP and TACS. Engaging children with SOPs due to COVID-19 will be a challenge in coming months.

the poverty line. Total 69% children including 75% girls are out of school in the village. The main reasons behind these abysmal socioeconomic conditions are; the reluctance of parents to let their children particularly daughters leave home and go to school, lack of access to quality education, early child marriage, poor working conditions etc. Gender wise data shows that women and girls of the village are the worst affected segments of the village by poverty and lack of basic facilities.

Among all girls of the village, Imam Zadi was the luckiest than the others, she managed to get comparatively quality education despite difficult and unfavorable conditions. She has done masters in Social Work and her household poverty score is 37. When asked why her household is above the poverty line? She told; “My household is out of chronic poverty because I am educated, worked as a teacher in a school from 2012-2018, and now working as Community Resource Person (CRP) for our LSO. I think education is the most powerful and effective tool which can change our collective living standards and socioeconomic conditions of communities. Education gave me confidence and ladder to become teacher and CRP. That is the reason behind my success. Here I see many girls of my village who have potential like me but their parents don’t let them to attend school to harness their potential. They are instead either engaged in working in the fields for 10-12 hours a day with very low wages, or married early which I think is injustice with them.” Imam Zadi’s personal transformational through education encouraged her to change the lives of her village girls.

“In 2012, I opened an education center, with support of Allama Iqbal Open University, where I taught more than 50 girls. Now, I see many of them working as Social Organiser and CRP.” She dreams and work every day to transform lives of her people to have a prosperous life without problems through the SUCCESS programme. “Every day, I rise to fulfil the aims of the SUCCESS programme by organising women into community organisations, helping them to acquire new skills and awareness on family planning, nutrition, education, health, disaster risks reduction, environment protection, and civic rights.” Her commitment, passion and hard work pays

6,657,618 persons benefited from health initiatives

37Social Sector Services - Health

The social capital fostered by NRSP i.e. CO/VO/LSO/CRPs has been a significant factor in implementing health programmes 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.

So far, more than 12 million community members have been reached through awareness sessions on health and hygiene (includes repeat messages) and 1,976,340 LLINs have been distributed among the communities for prevention against Malaria through NRSP and linkages with other organizations. During the year, 239,198 children and women received immunization support while more than 5,250 communities participated in efforts to make their village ODF.

Water Immunization and Sanitation Initiatives of NRSP’s WISE Programme

NRSP health programme under WISE is focused around prevention of diseases which otherwise can jeopardize family health by focus on child immunization, MNCH and also linking with RH related needs of mothers. Most of these services are provided by Government but community have remained unable to access due to lack of motivation, limited awareness or poor system support. NRSP and LSOs ensure proper follow up with relevant line departments to get support for these initiatives. During this period, 317,929 HHs have been educated regarding immunization which resulted in improving the overall Penta 3 coverage from 80% to 88% in the target areas. Drinking water quality is also addressed as main component of programme as majority of the diseases

are spread through poor quality of water. 2,651 drinking water sources have also been tested. We make them conscious and support in recognizing fit and unfit sources of water for drinking. Adoption of proper hygiene practices especially by mothers and children also remains key area of our focus.

WASH Initiatives

During the year, NRSP in partnership with WaterAid implemented 2 major projects in 5 districts of Punjab (Faisalabad, Hafizabad, Pakpattan and Sahiwal) and Sindh (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 of these projects. UNICEF also supported WASH programme in districts of Gwadar and Lasbela in Balochistan province.

During the reporting year, 94,822 latrines were built by the same number of households via self-help basis whereas 1,174 demo latrines were constructed under different donor funded projects. 177 hand pumps and 160 sanitation facilities were also constructed under various projects. NRSP was also able to carry out 1,993 water quality tests in an effort for access to clean and safe water for rural households. Over 1,000 CRPs were trained in WASH related interventions while more than 291 people

Screening of Malaria at village Peerani Lamb, UC Sangai, tehsil Dasht, district Kech (Turbat) under GFATM Project

were trained in schools around WASH/Hygiene and MHM practices. 63,651 people also benefitted from hygiene kits/soaps distribution.

Lady Health Workers based Clinics

Considering the gaps in health services for the poor and marginalized communities especially women and children in remote areas with restricted mobility and financial limitations, NRSP established 10 LHV based clinics with the support of PPAF in 2010. After the project closure, NRSP supported these clinics from its own resources until 2018. Six of these clinics were handed over to LSOs, wbereas remaining 4 were closed since service delivery gaps is now being met by public sector in the catchment area of these clinics. These clinics were established in remote

areas of Punjab including DG Khan, Rajanpur, Khushab, Bhakkar and Bahawalpur and were equipped with all the necessary equipment and medicines. Health Management Committees with a representation of community members, managed these clinics with the technical guidance of NRSP. The functional clinics are still being managed by the community platforms themselves.

Programme for Improved Nutrition in Sindh (PINS)

Overall objective of EU funded PINS Programme is to contribute to sustainably improve the nutritional status of children under five and of pregnant and lactating women in Sindh. Idea is to contribute to the efforts of the Sindh Government in improving food diversity and reducing water borne diseases while implementing climate resilient nutrition sensitive interventions in targeted districts of Sindh. Preparation of village action plans, community led total sanitation, awareness raising on WASH, ODF, testing of drinking water sources, access to sustainable safe water for drinking, kitchen gardening, formation of farmers field schools, female agriculture entrepreneurship activities, productivity enhancement, livestock management and access to productive assets, promotion of poultry, fish farming, horticulture and forestation etc are some of the major activities of this project.

By the end of June 2020, 1,712 CRPs have been trained on CLTS/WASH, besides construction of over 700 demo latrines 39,000 latrines were constructed by community members themselves on self-help basis, over 800 masons/plumbers were trained on improved and cost-effective designs of WASH facilities, 640 water sources were chlorinated, 27 water supply schemes were rehabilitated and 1,700 individuals were trained around improved farming and kitchen gardening. Moreover, 44,000 households were provided seeds for vegetable to start kitchen gardening, 5,814 farmers were facilitated with agriculture inputs for improved productivity, over 4,000 women were provided access to livestock and poultry unit after being trained and

community members were also trained in fish farming practices as well. Five community level fish ponds and 10 fish paddy farms were also constructed under the project for improved supply of protein and for economic benefits. Tree plantation was also a major activity part of this project where more than 150,000 trees were planted.

Malaria control interventions

NRSP has played a key role in educating the communities regarding malaria control and prevention in areas with high incidence of malaria and has been working in partnership with GFATM since 2008. Communities are educated about malaria prevention and treatment options while service providers in public and private sector are trained regarding proper diagnosis and the treatment of malaria. Interventions facilitated provision of modern medicine and diagnostic tools to service providers and LLINs to community at mass through Government health units. Current project is under implementation in 10 districts of Sindh and Balochistan. During the year, 46,128 households participated in awareness raising activities, 373 health professionals were trained on malaria case management and testing.

Delivering Accelerated Access of Family Planning Services

This 4 years Family Planning Project was initiated in December 2017 with the support of DFID through RSPN in Bahawalpur, Rahim Yar Khan, Mardan and Swabi districts. 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 2020, 307,605 married women have been registered for the provision of RH/FP services and 127,054 new users have adopted modern methods for birth spacing. Moreover 1,017 Village Health Committees have been formed and 17,444 outreach FP camps have been organized under this project. Guddi Baji component as

entrepreneur has been added into this project in collaboration with RSPN.

Future Plans

Combating Covid-19, RH and MNCH will remain the main focus of NRSP next year. NRSP is also planning to revise the WISE Programme, keeping in view the previous achievements and learnings.

Monitoring, Evaluationand Research


41Monitoring, 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

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. 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.

Under the SUCCESS, BRACE and NPGP 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.

BISP National Rollout of the Poverty Scorecard Survey

In 2010, NRSP managed and rolled out first ever BISP’s National Poverty Score Card survey in 32 districts of Pakistan covering 7.6 million households. Survey was completed successfully in 2011 and it helped the GoP in establishing a National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) to ensure objectivity in identifying beneficiaries and for transparency in implementing interventions, effective targeting of` BISP beneficiaries. After 8 years, BISP again initiated the Poverty Scorecard data collection exercise for NSER in 2018. NRSP conducted this survey in 8 districts of Sindh and

42

Balochistan, where the survey was started in February 2019 and completed in November, 2019 and complete survey data is handed over to the RSPN/ BISP. Total target HHs were 1,428,145 (1,234,258 in Sindh and 193,887 in Balochistan). During the survey rollout, 1,424,905 households were listed and 1347,643 HHs enumerated i.e., 95% of the listed HHs and 94% of the target HHs.

A Research under Sustainable Climate Finance and its Impacts

NRSP initiated this research project in collaboration with the Philipps University Marburg, Germany. The objective is to evaluate the impact of climate finance projects in Pakistan. The project team will carry out investigation of Sindh Coastal Community Development Project (SCCDP) which was successfully implemented by NRSP (2008-2013); looking for valuable insight into long-term effects of rural electrification carried out under the SCCDP. The initial desk review of the data and field visits to have better understanding about the situation on ground was carried out in Jan-Feb 2020 and accordingly the research methodology and data collection tools were finalized. Because of Covid-19, the field activities including survey, FGDs was delayed and expected to start in the last quarter of the year 2020. This research will provide valuable insights about community managed village level solar power projects and may provide insights as how solar energy projects can be further expanded in the off-grid or weak grid areas of Pakistan.

Survey and researches under EU funded BRACE and SUCCESS

BRACE is complimented by an evidence-based learning component. This component helps the implementing partners to offer solid inputs for policy advocacy and improved programming and promote a joint learning process among all project stakeholders. NRSP is facilitating RSPN in conducting the thematic and sectoral studies/assessments covering different areas including CIF, IGGs, support to PWDs, community savings and internal lending, sustainability

of CPIs, skills trainings etc. As part of the project a baseline socio-economic survey-SES was carried out in district Kech covering 600 HHs. SES will be repeated at mid-line and end-line to assess the change in socio-economic conditions of targeted communities. A PSC survey was also carried out to assess the poverty levels of the HHs, this was to help the project for poverty targeting and tracking the graduation process of HHs. An institutional maturity index survey has also been made part of this project, whose purpose is to continuously assess the maturity level of community institutions being established/revitalized, so that they are provided guidance. Currently ongoing participatory action research is investigating (i) poverty dynamics in Balochistan, (ii) nexus between community-led development and local governance and (iii) Dynamics of inclusive development. A labor market assessment was also part of this project, whose purpose was to identify the training trades for young women and men to benefit from skills training component of this project. Study on impact of CIF on financial sustainability of community institutions and IMI survey were two major research activities done under SUCCESS besides the project baselines.

Baseline for Punjab Health and Nutrition Focused Conditional Cash Transfer

Government of Punjab with the assistance of the World Bank launched the Punjab Human Capital Investment project in Sep 2020, one of the project component is “Improved Health and Nutrition at Birth and Early Childhood” for which a pilot project titled “health and nutrition focused conditional cash transfer (CCT)’ was launched in District Bahawalpur and Muzaffargarh in 2019. Under this pilot, the CCT was designed to incentivize pregnant and lactating mothers to receive regular health check-ups, skilled birth, growth monitoring and immunization of children under 2 years of age, as well as participate in self-help sessions for better ECD, through regular and predictable cash transfers within targeted poor and vulnerable households.


43

The pilot program was developed jointly by the PSPA and the Punjab Department of Health.

For this pilot project, NRSP conducted the baseline survey with the financial assistance from the World Bank and technical assistance from C4ED, Germany. The survey was conducted in first two quarters of 2019. For the baseline, 50 enumerators were engaged, training manual and android application were developed for data collection. A total of 17,726 households were listed and 10,555 households were interviewed during the survey. As part of the survey, 3,738 Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLWs) were identified and 3,222 PLWs were interviewed. Details findings of the survey are available at http://nrsp.org.pk/publications/Project-Completion-Reports/HNCCT_Baseline_Report_23Jul19.pdf.

Education Equity and Quality in Pakistan

NRSP in collaboration with the Washington University in St Louis, the Global Research on Inclusion and Disability Team, 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 will evaluate this intervention in 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.

Project EEQAP has achieved most of the milestone during its course over 3 years and as the project investigators plan on launching the end line Survey in November 2020. During the first year of project, a comprehensive Baseline Survey was conducted, followed by which first round of 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 implemented changes based on these insights in intervention schools, inclusive education trainings were imparted to increase capacity of teachers and qualitative methods were applied to validate psychosocial assessments. The third year will see the implementation of second round of GMB sessions and action ideas after which the investigators will measure the impact of the social accountability intervention on learning outcomes using a cluster RCT.

Technical assistance for the Child Labour surveys

NRSP has been engaged by UNICEF as local partner of C4ED, Germany to provide technical assistance to the Provincial Governments to carry out first ever provincial level Child Labour Survey in Pakistan. NRSP is providing technical assistance to the Provincial Bureau of Statistics and Labour Departments of Punjab, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit Baltistan and AJK. This includes consultative workshops to finalize the roll out plan, survey tools, finalize manuals for enumerators, supervisors, guidelines for monitoring and conducting Training of Trainers. During the reporting year, Child Labour survey was completed in GB, pilots completed in Punjab and Sindh and are expected to be completed in three remaining province during the next financial years.

Future Plans

In the coming years, MER will continue to achieve a greater level of technological advancement for data management and reporting; so that it can improve both productivity and efficiency. Various midline and endline surveys have been planned for different projects.

Environment and Social Management (ESM)


4545Environment and Social Management (ESM)

ESM guidelines of NRSP are inspired by the recently approved ESM of the World Bank (2017) and builds upon the same safeguards and has frequently used terminologies, definitions and elaborations of the safeguards proposed by the World Bank. This adaptation of the World Bank work is thankfully acknowledged. The ESM is in compliance with the national and provincial legal framework as well as international laws, conventions and treaties to which Pakistan is a signatory. It also benefits from best practices of the World Bank (WB), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF). NRSP firmly believes in environmentally and socially responsible operations by aiming at sustainable development of the people of Pakistan, especially in rural areas and protecting them against any adverse environmental and/or social impacts accruing from its operations.

Environment and Social Management System Committee

The ESM Committee is chaired by the Programme Manager Physical Infrastructure and Technological Development (PITD) and the Programme Managers of Human Resource Development, Social Sector Services, and Social Mobilization sections are its permanent members. The Committee can co-opt any staff as and when required. The Committee is custodian of NRSP’s Environmental and Social Management Policies/ Procedures, whereas Statutory Policies/Procedures is the responsibility of relevant departments/ management. ESMC also oversees the revision, if needed, and implementation of ESM. It meets on quarterly basis. The Regional General Manager chairs the Regional ESM Committees (RESMC) with at least one district manager and one ESM Focal Person as its members. The RGM can co-opt any other member to the RESMC as and when required. The RESMC performs the devolved functions of the ESM Committee at Head Office, reports back to ESMC any issues, and

seeks guidance. While adequate fiduciary compliance mechanisms are already in place, an environmental and social management system (ESMS) has been put in place to ensure effective compliance of environmental and social safeguards, in particular for the projects and/or schemes categorized as A, B or C. The ESMC is primarily responsible for implementation of ESM Policy and ESMS with the support from ESM Focal Persons in the regional offices.

Partners of NRSP

47Partners of NRSP

European Union (EU)

EU has been an important partner of NRSP for over a decade making NRSP successful in implementing many development projects. In 2014 NRSP started receiving direct funding from the EU for development projects when a project was initiated in four districts of AJK. This initiated the process of supporting inclusive development through community-Government capacity building and partnership. This further led to the initiation of the Sindh Union Council and Community Economic Strengthening Support (SUCCESS) Programme and the Balochistan Rural Development and Community Empowerment Programme (BRACE) which are ongoing and worth PKR 3.5 billion; focusing on Community Driven Development (CDD) approaches for development. Projects including improvement of nutrition in Sindh through RSPN and skills enhancement in Punjab and KP through Plan International and TUSDEC, collectively worth PKR 1.3 billion, are other important projects implemented by NRSP with indirect funding of EU.

United States Agency for International Development (USAID)

In 2004, NRSP became partner of USAID for Education Sector Reforms Programme (PKR 23 million) implemented in 2 districts of Balochistan. Later on, this partnership extended and until now NRSP has implemented 14 additional development projects, with direct or indirect funding from USAID, worth PKR 6.3 billion. Improvement in health and education services (FALAH, SGAFP, MCH etc), rehabilitation and DRR (Bahal, Tahafuz), governance (ASP), WASH, small grants (CIMMYT, SGAFP etc) were some of the focused areas of these implemented projects. Small Grants and Ambassador’s Fund Programme (SGAFP) was an 8 years initiative in which NRSP managed the sub-granting to the other development organizations in different thematic areas including education, health, renewable energies, livelihoods improvement, environment protection, agriculture

development. At the moment, CIMMYT is the ongoing USAID funded project and is focusing on providing access to improved wheat seeds for farmers nationwide.

International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD)
