Message from the Chairman

Quarter a century period looks yesterday; when we embarked upon a

humble start as an NGO registered with Social Welfare Department of

Government of Punjab. Two community needs of water supply, sanitation

and healthy environment; were two doable, feasible targets. Today HRDSF is

recognized as a lead agency in the sector and serving the communities in

difficult to reach areas of Pakistan.

2016 brought new challenges in the development sector particularly the

strict NOC polies resulted is limited funding opportunities. In spite of all

difficulties this organization remains serving the deprived communities.

HRDSF's contribution included human resource development, when it comes to training thousands of

people in its different projects.

As usual, HRDSF continued its humanitarian assistance to Temporally Displaced Persons (TDPs) and disaster

affected communities in most difficult areas of FATA and other selected districts of KPK. Logistics and

security are often a nightmare. The very nature of working with TDPS/IDPS is such where time is the

essence of the activity. The operational agencies and FATA Secretariat has to design schedule of projects

in a manner that support reached these vulnerable groups in time.

Once again HRDSF has proved its strength in WASH, Shelter and protection in difficult areas. A dare

devil organization who go to areas that is normally avoided by many. It is the global experience that

communities when asked to identify their needs; water is always priority one, then Girls education. Currently

the organization is reaching communities for Health, Education and Gender Sensitivity; as required.

I congratulate the management of HRDS Foundation on successful completion of another year in

difficult circumstances, and thankful to the donor and partner organizations for their generous support,

finally, I wish 2017 proves soft year for HRDSF.

M. Nazar Memon

Chief Executive Officer’s Message

It is an honor for me to present this annual report of 2016. I acknowledge

the support of donors for their support to the organization which enable

us to serve the communities. During this year HRDS Foundation

strengthen its systems and policies for more transparency and

accountability.

In 2016, the funding opportunities remain limited in the sector due to

NOCs policy. HRDS Foundation applied for MoU with Economic Affair

Division, Government of Pakistan and hopefully it is mature in few weeks

which will open new opportunities to serve the deprived communities in

conflict affected areas of Pakistan. This year we have been given the chance to work in the field of water

supply through Punjab Saaf Pani Company (PSPC), a special initiative of the Government of Punjab (GOP)

for providing safe drinking water solutions, prioritizing underserved areas, especially in rural, semi-rural,

and peri-urban areas of the Punjab province. HRDS foundation is obligated to act as PSPC community

engagement partner for its Package 1: District Faisalabad, Sahiwal, Okara, Nankana sahib, T.T.Singh and

Kasur in Punjab and provide a holistic package of services to PSPC for Community and Youth

Engagement, Mobilization and Education Program for regions, cluster wise.

Another important accomplishment of HRDSF was successful completion of 1st phase of RELIEF project

“Responding to the Evolving and Long-term TDPs Emergencies in the District Kohat, Khyber

Pakhtunkhwa” with International Rescue Committee and ACTED. The Project is Protection focused and is

aimed to reach 66700 Direct Beneficiaries and 94000 Indirect beneficiaries (includes 25500 Children,

21000 Women and 20200 men), similarly the beneficiaries provided WASH and livelihood facilities.

A USAID funded Pakistan Reading Project was started in January 2016 to serve the visually impaired

children in Mansehra. The Project was on track but unfortunately it was terminated by 30th November

2016 due NOC issues .

Although 2016 has been a bit tough for HRDSF because projects to be implemented in KPK required NOC

which is a time taking process, however, HRDSF got the NOCs and implemented the projects and remain

serving the communities.

I thank Mr. M. Nazar Memon who gave us his precious time as the Chairman to guide us. I thank Mr. Shafqat

Ali, Malik Azhar , Mian Mohammad and Mr. Tariq Jan for the support and facilitation to achieve our

targets.

1. Executive Summary

Health and Rural Development Services Foundation successfully completed the year 2016 and

welcomes 2017 with new energy, hopes and determination of serving community better than before.

Striving hard since its establisment, HRDSF has gained repute on national level and works devotedly in all

four provinces, Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJ & K), and Gilgit

Baltistan (GB). The year 2016 started with renewed zeal Health & Rural Development Services

Foundation (HRDSF) building on its multi-sectoral community driven program: Water Sanitation &

Hygiene (WASH), Education, Protection; Community Physical Infrastructure (CPI); Emergency Response

and Early Recovery; Social mobilization and Institutional Development.

During the year, the organization remain engaged in a Government of Punjab Funded Project” Punjab

Saaf Pani Program” a project managed by Punjab Saaf Pani Company (PSPC). Established with the

mandate to develop, design, plan, execute and manage projects for providing safe drinking water

solutions, prioritizing under-served areas, especially in rural, semi-rural, and pre-urban areas of the

Punjab province. HRDSF serving as PSPC community mobilization & engagement partner for Package

1(Faisalabad Region) six districts namely Faisalabad, Sahiwal, Okara, Kassur, Nankana Sahib and Toba

Tek Singh.

Another important accomplishment of HRDSF was the successful completion of the RELIEF Project

Phase-I. In November 2015, HRDS Foundation signed an agreement with IRC to better respond to the

evolving and Long-term TDP Emergencies in the District Kohat. As project was general Protection

nature and was focused to mainstream protection in IRC key interventions of WASH and Livelihood.

HRDS Foundation was mandated to make assess possible to most vulnerable beneficiaries to the

humanitarian assistance. One of the key barriers to accessing humanitarian assistance for TDPs was lack

of documentation, specifically not possessing a Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC). The IVAP

reports indicated that 13% of TDP heads of households do not possess a CNIC, and female heads of

households are nearly three times more likely to lack a CNIC than their male counterparts. Whilst

gender-based violence and child protection incidents are, by the very nature of the vulnerability of

those affected, underreported and therefore difficult to measure, it was nevertheless well documented

that displacement resulted in mental health concerns for many vulnerable people, with 33% of

displaced males and 42% of displaced females reporting psychological stress and behavior changes1,

and 8% of displaced households reporting that children suffer from psychological and social distress.2

Forty-eight percent of displaced respondents reported there were no organizations/people providing

recreational/educational activities to those needing psychosocial support. The project addresses the

needs of most vulnerable TDPs families along with 40% of the host families with targeted interventions.

The project provides TDPs or returnees with a combination of immediate interventions and longer-term,

early recovery assistance. The 1st Phase of this project is successfully completed in December 2016 and

the extension is given for next three months before the start of 2nd Phase in March 2017.

HRDSF also signed a Contract with ACTED (INGO) under the REFIEF project for the provision of WASH

and Livelihood services to the TDPs. 1st phase of WASH and Livelihoods component of the RELIEF

project was completed by HRDS Foundation in District Kohat from 1st March to 30th Sep 2016 with a

one month no cost extension (extension for the month of October 2016) successfully. HRDS Foundation

facilitated the affected communities through provision of WASH and livelihood activities in target area.

HRDS Foundation provided Conditional Cash Grants (CCGs) to 143 most vulnerable beneficiaries from

5 6

5

the selected villages of the project area. A total of 749 HHs (399 male, 350 female) were facilitated for 3

cycles through Cash for Work (CFW) activities. A total of 35 community schemes (De-silting of irrigation

channels, cleaning drainage lines and road leveling) were completed through CFWs activities. A total of

81 HHs having livestock were facilitated through awareness sessions about livestock related issues.

Vaccination and de-worming was also carried out of their cattle. Vocational and skills trainings were

provided to 30 selected beneficiaries in two trades along with tool kits. Enterprise development support

grants were also provided to 4 project beneficiaries. A total of 720 HHs were facilitated through hygiene

awareness sessions and provision of hygiene kits. 103 beneficiaries have received latrines grants for

construction and rehabilitation of house hold latrines. 120 water storage tanks and water filters were

distributed among the selected beneficiaries. 2 new hand pumps were installed while existing 4 hand

pumps were rehabilitated in the area. 2700 HHs were benefited through provision of quilts/mates in the

project area. A total of 6 Water Management Committees were formed and their capacity was built

through training and provision of WMC Kits.

Health & Rural development Services Foundation initiated a project “Improving Learning and

Development Environment for Children with Visual Impairment in District Mansehra-KP” under USAID

funded Pakistan Reading Project. The project area covering seven Union Councils of District Mansehra

like Union Council Sum Elahimung, Bhogarmang, Shinkiari, Jannori, Dhodhial, Battal and Icharrian. The

project was signed in January 2016 and terminated by 31st October 2016 due to NOC issues. The goal

was to improve reading skills of 200 children with visual impairment of grade 1 & 2 through

establishing an environment in and outside of schools conducive for their learning and development.

The visually impaired children can loss ability to read and they are often developmentally delayed in

motor skills and perception. Visual impairment can adversely affect concept development, interpersonal

communication skills, life skills, orientation skills, and academic development. The incapability to read,

to see writing on board, or to differentiate colors has considerable impact on students’ educational

achievements. Teachers, parents and caretakers must have information regarding student’s visual

abilities and problems.

HRDSF team organized a seminar on World Health Day for advocacy on April 7, 2016, for the awareness

and sensitization of all stakeholders including parents, children, education department, Social welfare

department, health department, media, COs, CBOs and community activists. The event was organized in

Government High School Shinkiari Mansehra-KP. In the event 42 male participants and 83 female

participants from Community, education department, social welfare department, members of parents’

teacher councils and Area Coordination Councils participated.

The year 2016 remain difficult in term of projects implementation in the field due the government

policies on NOC issuance, funding of many projects lapsed due to non-issuance of NOCs. HRDSF will

remain serving the deprived communities across Pakistan, focused on poor, internally displaced people,

flood and conflict affected communities, people living with disability, marginalized and socially excluded

group of people.

regarding Land Acquisition has been changed few months ago. After that as per PSPC policy the size of

Land for Sahulat Center has been increased 3 to 5 Marlas for each Sahulat Center and 3 to 4 Kanals for

Transfer of Lands to PSPC from community

Transfer of land is a lengthy and

fatiguing process and major

challenge for community

mobilization team. More than

98 percent process of SPT

formation and Land

Identification is completed in

fourteen Tehsils of 4 target

districts. HRDS Foundation

team is working hard to achieve

the target in time. Transferring

of land process is now started

in these Tehsils and PSPC

regional team is coordinating

with district administration and elected representatives to seek the support in this regard. The mobilization

team is working hard coordinating regularly to the government officials, elected representative and SPT

members to accelerate the land transfer process. By 31st of December 2016, 256 sites have been

transferred to PSPC this process will further be accelerated in coming days. All the identified lands are

committed on stamp papers which will transfer to the PSPC as per direction and policy guidelines of PSPC.

Saaf Pani a Case Study

Village Chak Bulair Cluster LKP-4, Tehsil Pattoki, District Kassur

Introduction: Village Chak Bulair is situated in District Kassur

Tehsil Pattoki, at a distance of about 40 km fron pattoki city.

The village having an approximate population size of 1200-

1300 people and about 100-120 households. In this Village

mostly people belong to Rajpoot clawn and others in majority

are jutt, Arien and Ansari castes. Unfortunately the village is

deprived of basic facilities of life, like, Basic Health Unit, Govt.

Schools, Clean Drinking Water, Sewerage System etc.

Socio-economic Condition: Bulair is also very poor in socio-

economic structure. People don’t have sustainable economic

resources except agricultural land, which is also not in very

good condition. Most of the families are dependent on daily

wage labor. Many females do labor or work at agricultural

farms along with their males and have rare livestock at home.

Current source of Drinking Water: All the villagers are forced

to use contaminated and brackish ground water for drinking as

well as for other daily needs because there is no facility of

sweet and safe drinking water available to them even in a

range of 2 km area. Poverty also restricts them to go to nearby

area and get safe drinking water for their families because it

needs resources.

Community Views about Water Born Diseases: This water

has disturbed our lives; a lady health worker “Kaneez Fatima”

described the scenario. Many of the children’s health is

effected by the unsafe drinking water as they become prey of

the waterborne diseases like Diadhorea, Cholera, Hepatitis and

skin diseases very easily. Poor families have to bear expenses

of costly medicines in routine. This also loss their productivity

and increase budget over burden.

A lady Shopkeeper “Zainab Bibi” said that here is no one who

can solve this basic but devastating issue of our community.

People are prone to diseases, no one can enjoy a sound health,

our lives are on risk and our leaders are careless. They come,

make promises, get votes but do nothing for the community

welfare.

23

“Madam Nazia”, a housewife, told that education of our children is compromised as most of the

time they are ill, and the mental ability of them is also not in good tone. She added, it is just

because of unsafe and unhealthy drinking water they are forced to use due to unavailability of a

better alternative.

Intervention of PSPC: Punjab Saaf Pani Company committed to provide “Safe Drinking Water

for All” is a very hope for the better life of such communities. Its intervention will bring a

revolution in the lives of poor and marginalized villages as well as it will put a good affect over

well off families too. Because fetching water from a far flung area disturbs every one without any

differences. Having a Low Level Reservoir in a village near houses, full of clean, safe and healthy

drinking water was an unmet dream of the poor community which is going to become a reality

through PSPC. The idea was much appreciated when discussed with the villagers and they were

over joy to get the facility as soon as possible. Especially females were much happier because

their duty of fetching water will become easier and they will also see their babies healthier and

safer.

Saaf Pani Tanzeem: This overwhelming welcome by the community was shifted towards the

formation of Saaf Pani Tanzeem, as it is already well understood that no project or intervention

will not sustain unless the local community is not fully involved in basic management of the

facility. The mobilization process was initiated and all the social circles of the community was

touched and informed about the facility. All the segments of community got united over the issue

and showed their full interest in formation of SPT and taking the responsibilities. Females were

also sitting on front seat for the sake of better life of their love ones. SPT was formed in just two

visits and representation of females is also there as “Kaneez Fatima” a well known lady is SPT

member. Male SPT members are taken from each baradri to show the respect and balance of the

social structure of the village power.

Community Involvement of Land for LLR: This unity is reflected in the decision of SPT. The

policy of the PSPC about the installation of LLR and Saaf Pani Sahulat Centre is that 10 Marla will

be gained from the community rather it will be a Govt. Land or a private land. Unfortunately, this

village was also deprived of this facility too of having a vacant piece of Govt. Land. But their unity

and their willingness to get a chance of better life through safe drinking water brought them

towards a unique decision, “we will purchase land and will handover it to the PSPC for Saaf Pani

Sahulat Centre”. SPT made that decision and found the whole community standing along with

them for support. They had purchased 05 Marla land with their contribution and ready to donate

it. The whole community will provide the share fixed by the SPT. This is the high level of

commitment of the community towards Saaf Pani Facility.

PROJECT Summary

In November 2016, HRDS Foundation signed an agreement with IRC to better respond to the

evolving and Long-term TDP Emergencies in the District Kohat. As project was general

Protection nature and was focused to mainstream protection in IRC key interventions of WASH

and Livelihood.

HRDS Foundation was mandated to make assess possible to most vulnerable beneficiaries to

the humanitarian assistance. One of the key barriers to accessing humanitarian assistance for

TDPs was lack of documentation, specifically not possessing a Computerized National Identity

Card (CNIC). The IVAP reports indicated that 13% of TDP heads of households do not possess a

CNIC, and female heads of households are nearly three times more likely to lack a CNIC than

their male counterparts. Whilst gender-based violence and child protection incidents are, by the

very nature of the vulnerability of those affected, underreported and therefore difficult to

measure, it was nevertheless well documented that displacement resulted in mental health

concerns for many vulnerable people, with 33% of displaced males and 42% of displaced females

reporting psychological stress and behavior changes and 8% of displaced households reporting

that children suffer from psychological and social distress. Forty-eight percent of displaced

respondents reported there were no organizations/people providing recreational/educational

activities to those needing psychosocial support.

The project addresses the needs of most vulnerable TDPs families along with 40% of the host

families with targeted interventions. The project provides TDPs or returnees with a combination

of immediate interventions and longer-term, early recovery assistance.

IMPLEMENTATION METHODOLOGY

Beneficiary selection and participation

HRDS Foundation selected 20 communities from 20 Union Councils of district Kohat. The villages

were selected from the IVAP data which indicated greater TDPs hosted areas. HRDS Foundation

identified 40 functional Community Based Organizations/ Village organizations among TDPs

hosted villages of protracted crisis; The committees were later called as Protection committees for

the Project. This consists of 20 male and 20 female communities. Soon after identification of

active community based organization project started the process of beneficiary selection at

household/individual level as per defined and agreed protocols of beneficiary selection in

emerging needs. The Project complements data from IVAP and other reliable sources by

undertaking a consultation with the communities to identify its direct beneficiaries. This process

toke place through the following steps:

About 40 PRA EXERCISE (Participatory Rural Appraisal) conducted with 40 active Community

based organization which were later called as Protection Committees, during which the

community were asked to identify its main concerns, and after the situation analysis decide how

to address them through a community “action plan”. The community members participated in the

PRA exercise in a way which were culturally appropriate. 40 focus groups were held for men and

women, and local elders/community leaders were duly consulted and requested to lead key parts

of the process to ensure the community’s ownership and endorsement of the programme’s

methodology. The Project establish 40 volunteer Community Protection Committees (CPCs) made

up of community members who demonstrate an interest in protection work.

About 3293 most vulnerable beneficiaries were identified by 40 Protection committees for

assistance within the community, the first step was draft a “long list” of the most vulnerable

community members based on the PRA exercise. This identification process were based on

transparent, detailed and specific vulnerability and protection criteria (such as assets in hand,

household size, current sources of income, vulnerability of the breadwinner, presence of orphans,

elderly or disabled individuals in the household etc.) which were established during the first

quarter of the programme.

The project team signed a Terms of Partnership (TOP) with the 40 CPCs detailing the following

commitments: Project provided the defined assistance against agreed criteria and scope;

The Community Protection Committees will ensure that resources for community-based

interventions are utilized efficiently and effectively.

Basing the project’s beneficiary selection at individual level on a long list of beneficiaries

produced by the Protection team had ensure that protection, gender and vulnerability principles

were taken into account throughout the intervention. This ensured groups who are often

marginalized that are women, disabled people, older people, adolescents, people living with HIV

or AIDS, and ethnic or religious minorities were also included in the programme.

27

The existence of objective criteria for beneficiary selection on Protection (for the long list) was

key to prevent the elite capture phenomena, which could occur if beneficiary selection was

based purely on community consultation. Documenting beneficiary selection choices based

on objective criteria avoided grievances from community members and from the local elite.

The validation of the lists by the community ensured beneficiary inclusion in the

programme’s decision-making processes.

The lists of beneficiaries were based on objective criteria and depend entirely on needs, and

not on status. This means that the beneficiaries in protracted crisis included not only TDPs

but also members of the host community.

PROTECTION MONITORING & LEGAL ASSISTANCE

HRDS Foundation identified and referred 869 protection cases in which 533 cases has

successfully closed. While 336 cases are in process. Out of 869 Protection cases 494

Protection cases are of female in which 311 are successfully address. Similarly, 375 male

protection cases identified in which 222 are successfully address.

The Protection team performs these referrals and follow-ups (until complete case closure) for

protection cases with urgent and life-saving needs (e.g. survivors of violence needing urgent

medical or legal assistance), whilst at the same time setting up community-based protection

mechanisms. Referral follow-up were ensured through a referral tracker. In parallel, THE

PROJECT maintains close contact with the Protection Cluster and ensures effective referral

and follow up of cases using existing referral pathways. The Protection teams of HRDS

Foundation were trained by IRC technical staff in safe identification and referral in areas of

women’s protection, children’s protection and issues pertaining to the elderly and disabled.

not only provided information on THE PROJECT services and referral networks but were also used as

a central information hub for both affected community members and humanitarian actors.

ESTABLISHMENT OF 02 PROTECTION CENTERS

HRDS Foundation established 02 Protection Centers. In 07 months the protection centres

ensures 16058 attendances at Protection Centers. In which 8418 are female attendance.

Average attendance Per month 2385 at both centres.The Project established two community

Social Protection Centers (SPCs). The location of the SPCs was chosen based on accessibility.

Project team trained these community members on basic protection principles and in

technical areas like engaging children in various activities aimed at their psychosocial

recovery, arranging consultations, ensuring inclusion, designing activities as per the needs of

various age and ability groups and basic psychosocial support techniques. The SPCs provided

a space for people to come together, socialise and access recreation, which was often lacking

in displacement. The SPCs provided value in terms of social cohesion between TDP and host

communities, as they provide opportunities to meet and bond. The community SPCs

provided the following services for various age groups of men and women:

32

SPORTS EVENTS

HRDS Foundation conducted 04 Community Sport events, 02 Events were conducted

with female community while 02 with male community. About 400 participants

participated in each events. Both the host and TDPs participated in these events. The

purpose of sports events were to create awareness that Games and exercises have

vital role in maintaining good health and to live long. It is important for every

individual to involve himself/herself in different activities. With this they will think

positive and get innovative ideas instead of evil thinking and then start hating things

and activities of others. the main objectives of sports events were;

To pull out the IDP’s/TDP’s from the idol setting, closed in one specified circle and

specified locality and meet them with others.

To give them a message that they are not alone in this state of vulnerability. State,

society, humanitarian organizations and international community are with them and

even support them in different games.

Those who are highly interested in playing games get to know that there is respect

for their interest and get motivation for the good deeds in the community.

data to identify sectorial vulnerabilities and rank communities accordingly.

During programme implementation, HRDS Foundation coordinated with other

actors working in the same area both in the field and through the cluster system.

The project use the wealth of data and analysis generated through this programme

to design and monitor its interventions.

Activities and Accomplishment

General needs assessment: Village selection

HRDS Foundation established field office in District Kohat from where the project activities

started on war footings. The Protection component of RELIEF project with the support of IRC

assessed the project beneficiaries and selected the condensed IDPs villages (20 villages) in

District Kohat before and handed over a long list of the potential villages and beneficiaries to

ACTED for the implementation of WASH and livelihoods project component. ACTED handed

over the data to HRDS Foundation WASH and livelihoods project team for field implementation.

In the initial phase, the IRC –HRDSF protection team selected 20 IDPs condensed villages in the

project area according to the agreed criteria and formed male and female CPCs in these 20

villages. WASH and livelihoods activities were carried out in these villages after receiving the list

of CPCs and long list.

36

Beneficiary Selection

The list of CPCs members along with long list of the potential project beneficiaries was shared

with ACTED-HRDS Foundation WASH and livelihoods Team by the IRC- HRDS Foundation

Protection team and the team started the proposed activities according to the proposed

strategy on agreed time frame.

The WASH team visited the selected villages and met with the CPCs members. The CPCs

members were oriented about the project activities in the project introduction session. To

carried out further WASH and livelihoods project activities, the long list were shared with CPCs

and assessment was carried out based on that long list. The HRDSF WASH and livelihoods Team

visited the project beneficiaries door to door and filled the assessment form from each

beneficiary. The CPCs members were also in loop during the assessment time.

The assessment forms of project beneficiaries were entered in data base on daily basis by the

MIS Officer. A beneficiary scoring matrix was designed by the ACTED data base for the selection

of project beneficiary. All the vulnerability indicators were incorporated in the designed scoring

matrix. After completion of the assessment the HRDS Foundation’s MIS Officer and ACTED

jointly filtered the data accordingly. The highest scoring HHs were selected and the lists were

shared with CPCs members for more consensus. Later the CPCs members indorsed the selected

beneficiaries’ lists which were engaged by the WASH and livelihoods Team in different activities.

Inclusion of the most vulnerable beneficiaries were insured during assessment and selection

time on priority basis. A total of 3293 beneficiaries were long listed by the Protection

Component of RELIEF Project in which 2741 were selected for different activities.

The project beneficiaries have been selected on the following criteria;

• Unaccompanied Child / Orphans (Up to 18 Years)

• Child Headed Household

• Female Headed Family

• Single Female / Widow

• Chronic Medical Condition or disability

• Discrimination against religion / Sexual orientation or place of origin

• Over the age of 60 Years

• Pregnant and lactating Women

• Families with 10 or more family members.

37

Conduction of social and technical feasibility surveys to inform the design of WASH and

livelihoods interventions:

HRDS Foundation field staff paid regular visits to the selected villages and assessed the existing

WASH and livelihoods facilities in the area and identified gaps in the coping mechanism. The

social and technical staff members conducted social and technical assessments of the identified

WASH and livelihoods facilities and selected those spots where the target community facing

problems to coop with the situation. HRDS Foundation was the mandate to install 2 new hand

pumps, rehabilitate 4 existing hand pumps, and construct and rehabilitate 100 latrines. A total of

35 schemes were completed through cash for work (CFW) activities in the selected villages in 3

cycles. These CFW schemes were divided in to components (one scheme in 3 phases) for each

cycle i.e, one irrigation channel de-silting completed in 3 cycles due to its length. The reports of

the surveys were shared with ACTED to legitimize the selection of the activities locations and

needs of the target communities. Inclusion of the most vulnerable beneficiaries was prioritized

in all social and technical surveys.

a. Conditional Cash Grants (CCGs):

HRDS Foundation started assessment of the affected IDPs and host communities on the findings

of provided long list. A total of 142 project beneficiaries have been selected for CCGs in which

one beneficiary was died and replaced by another one so the total beneficiaries entertained in

this activity were 143. The lists of selected beneficiaries were shared with CPC members. These

selected beneficiaries have been engaged for three months in different health and hygiene

sessions.

Every beneficiary has been provided a health and hygiene session along with Pin mailer at the

end of the month. Cash grants have been distributed through mobile phone banking services.

Through this mechanism, the grants for each selected family provided in three monthly

installments of PKR 7,200 per month. Health and hygiene IEC material were also provided during

session for better understanding of health and hygiene messages. Prior to PIN mailer

disbursement and hygiene session all the beneficiaries were informed through Phone /Mobiles.

Those beneficiaries who could not to come to the point of PIN mailer disbursement due to some

physical disability, the PIN mailers were provided on his or her door step. Inclusion of the most

vulnerable Old People (Ops) and People with disabilities (PWDs)was part of this activity .Total 17

OPs and 27 PWDs headed were included in CCG activity .

38

39

b. Hygiene promotion sessions and Distribution Hygiene kits:

HRDS Foundation provided immediate assistance to extremely vulnerable displaced and host

beneficiaries. The response

included the distribution of

essential WASH Non-Food Items

(NFIs), household standardized

hygiene kits (endorsed by the

provincial WASH cluster),

including consumables. HRDS

Foundation community

mobilization teams was deployed

to conduct essential hygiene

promotion and sensitization

sessions to those beneficiaries

who were selected for hygiene

kits, with a particular focus on

health and hygiene risks

associated with overcrowding and

informal shelter conditions.

HRDS Foundation distributed NFI kits to 720 beneficiaries who participated in sanitation

campaigns and hygiene promotion sessions. Out of 720 beneficiaries, 192 Old people (OPs) and

105 People with disabilities (PwD )were direct beneficiaries of this activity .

40

Cash for Work (CFW)

To select the project beneficiaries for CFW activities, HRDS Foundation started assessment in the

project villages on the basis of provided long list with closed consultation of CPCs members. As

per target a total of 700 beneficiaries (350 male, 350 female) were selected on the prescribed

criteria and willingness/availability of the beneficiary but due to drop out and replacement in the

male CFW activities (replacement and drop out was due to mobility of TDPs, other job

opportunities or return etc) the number of male CFW beneficiary were increased to 399 so the

total beneficiaries entertained in this activity were 749. The selection criteria was as under;

• Households with no or insufficient household income to meet their food needs;

• Households taking care of orphans, disabled, elderly;

• Households with high dependency ratio (suggested ratio is 1:4);

• Households who have an able-bodied male or female to participate in CFW activity.

For male CFW activities, HRDS Foundation HRDSF engineers and community mobilization teams

engaged communities in the identification of CFW projects. The communities were also asked to

identify potential schemes and prioritize those based on the needs identified through the PRA

exercise .HRDS Foundation selected projects with the best value for money, which involve less

material cost and benefited most community members. The schemes completed through CFW

were repairing or cleaning drains, repairing or construction of culverts, construction of earthen

roads or pathways and raising the level of existing pathways in the selected project villages. For

41

all infrastructures related projects HRDS Foundation engineers and social mobilization team

conducted the technical and social feasibility surveys. After identification and selection of the

potential CFW schemes, the selected male CFW workers have been provided a daylong session

on activity and provided CFW tool kits. Every CFW worker insured 18 days working in each CFW

scheme for one month. After completion of monthly working cycle, pin mailers of Rs 7200 were

distributed to each beneficiary. A total of 35 CFW schemes were completed in 3 cycles. For

minor repair of these schemes, a portion of civil work material were supplied which included

cement, sand and crush were very helpful for the sustainability and efficiency of the schemes. To

keep CFW male activities inclusion friendly 12 People with disabilities (PwDs) and 6 Old people

(Ops) who were able to participate in the CFW activities were engaged.

For female CFW Activities, HRDS Foundation adopted the above procedure for the identification

and selection of the potential project beneficiaries. Quilt/mat making activity was designed for

female CFW workers. For this purpose a total of 350 female beneficiaries were selected. A

daylong session was also provided to these beneficiaries on tool kits and project activity. The

female CPCs members were onboard during the activities. Every selected beneficiary made a set

of 5 quilt and 4 mats in 3 month cycles. PIN mailers of Rs 7200/per cycle were distributed to

each female CFW worker on satisfactory work completion. After completion of 3 cycles, HRDS

Foundation collected the quilt/mat from each beneficiary for further re-distribution. Same for

Female CFW activity 7 PWDs and 10 OPs were part of this activity just for the purpose to ensure

inclusion.

42

Small Business Support Grants:

To select the beneficiaries for the proposed activity, HRDS Foundation staff started assessment

of the IDPs/host community in the selected IDPs condensed villages of the project area in the

initial stage of the project with the consultation of CPCs keeping in view the willing of the

beneficiaries in the long list. A total of 11 HHs picked for business support grant in the

assessment form. The selected families were provided 20,000 each for the business development

in two installments.

Vocational skills trainings:

To select the beneficiaries for the proposed activity, HRDS Foundation staff started assessment

of the IDPs/host community in the selected IDPs condensed villages of the project area in the

initial stage of the project with the consultation of CPCs. A total of 77 HHs ticked for the skilled

training in the assessment form. Based on the assessment 30 individuals (15 men & 15 women)

were selected from the data on the above mentioned criteria.

The training modules/contents for beneficiaries developed by ACTED in technical collaboration

with Technology Up-gradation and Skills Development Company, Ministry of Industries and

Production (TUSDEC) are being reviewed and adapted in RELEIF project.

Establishment of Skill Centers

Two centers were established for the

selected beneficiaries in separate

locations. Subash Institute was hired

by ACTED for providing technical

support in these centers along with

supplies. For men, the center was

established in Village Merozia District

Kohat with the consultation of CPC of

Merozai. For women the center was

established in village Naway Kalay with

the consent of CPC members. Both the

centers were accessible to all the selected trainees. The selected beneficiaries were facilitated

through training contents and other relevant materials in these established centers. Local Staff

(Male, Female instructors) was hired by Sobash Institute for teaching in these centers. The

Ashna Gul,s Story

Ashna gul is a 56 years old man living with his wife and four daughters and eight years old son

in village Momin abad Union council Jarma District Kohat, Near madrassa Abu Bakar. He

displaced from Orakzai Agency in 2010 during Militant crises and started living in District Kohat.

Unfortunately, his relatives were dispersed during the crises and he was left helpless with his

children. Before displacement he had a pleasant life in his own village. He had vast agricultural

land and two dairy Buffaloes and cows. He used to gain optimal financial gain from his own

agricultural land and selling of milk to the local market. His children were studying in a good

reputed private School.

A turning point came in Ashna Gul,s family when militant crises started in Orakzai Agency. His

house was rocked down and all of the valuable assets were demolished. He left the village

along with his children and travelled a lot to take refuge in a safer place. Finally, he arrived in

District kohat with his family. He started weeping while narrating that dreadful situation.

Now in district kohat, he is living in village Momin Abad UC jarma and dependent on livestock

but his animals were not in good health to support his livelihood needs. Three months ago,

during the assessment of livestock beneficiaries by HRDSF, he was selected as a livestock

beneficiary. He was provided livestock protection training and his animals were given FMD

vaccination round first, a booster dose and de wormer.

51

Presently he is looking after his animals very carefully and he is following all instructions given

by the technical staff of HRDSF. As he is providing balanced feeding to his animals and properly

manage them and take care of his animals and carries out all the recommended Vaccination. His

animals are in good and healthy condition and safe from any bacterial and viral disease giving

sufficient quantity of milk to support his livelihood.

He is selling milk to his neighbors and is saving part of the money received from selling of milk.

When Ashna Gul was asked about the savings from selling milk,, he replied “I have planned to

save enough of money by selling milk to buy a sewing machine to start my own home based

business”. He further added “I am thankful to HRDSF-ACTED who assisted me on time when I

was standing on the brink of miseries. Now I am fully confident to support my children through

this initiative and would provide them with good quality of food and schooling.

contacted and assessed according to the

proposed criteria. During the assessment she told

the HRDS Foundation staff members that “her

husband was working as daily wage labor after

displacement in the hosted village. But after a few

months of displacement he become sick and died in

very vulnerable condition without any proper

medication”. Before displacement Rajo Bibi family

livelihood was dependent on agriculture and livestock in her area of origin. She told that after

her husband’s death “she started taking care of neighbor’s livestock’s on half profit/loss basis for

the survival of her family”.

The community and humanitarian organizations also

consent of the local CPC and provided materials for

CFW activities with other selected beneficiaries. She

was also oriented about the activity by the project

staff members along with other selected

beneficiaries and she started CFW activity

accordingly.

“Improving Learning and Development environment for Children with Visual Impairment in District Mansehra-KP”

Funded by

USAID

Partnership with

International Rescue Committee

54

Background:

Education is not facility but right of every child .The UN article no 28 of Rights of Child stress on free primary

education for all children is compulsory and it is main responsibility of State to ensure that all children of state

is getting free primary education. Same as UN article no 23 of UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with

Disability states that State is responsible for mainstreaming of Persons with Disabilities in all strategies and

walk of life for sustainable development of state. Article no 24 of same convention ensure the Inclusive

education (addressing and responding the special needs of all children through increasing participation in

learning and reducing the exclusion from education) at all levels.

An ideal Education System is in which all students without any discrimination of their gender, race, colour,

faith, ability or disability can get their education by the help of State. Unfortunately our country is currently

facing this challenge because our teacher training institute lacking facilities to address the needs of children

with disability, it is therefore trained teachers cannot give the equal attention to all students including special

students.

The visually impaired children can loss ability to read and they are often developmentally delayed in motor

skills and perception. Visual impairment can adversely affect concept development, interpersonal

communication skills, life skills, orientation skills, and academic development. The incapability to read, to see

writing on board, or to differentiate colors has considerable impact on students’ educational achievements.

Teachers, parents and caretakers must have information regarding student’s visual abilities and problems.

Health & Rural development Services Foundation initiated a project “Improving Learning and Development

Environment for Children with Visual Impairment in District Mansehra-KP” under USAID funded Pakistan

Reading Project. The project is covering seven Union Councils of District Mansehra like Union Council Sum

Elahimung, Bhogarmang, Shinkiari, Jannori, Dhodhial, Battal and Icharrian.

Most of the peoples in target area earn are unaware of visual impairment in children and their needs for

effective. It is therefore important that teachers, parents and caretakers need to know how to maximize the

use of existing vision and adopt different strategies to minimize the disabling effect of the visual impairment

on the performance of student and their educational development.

Goal of the Project: Improve reading skills of 200 children with visual impairment of grade 1 & 2 through

establishing an environment in and outside of schools conducive for their learning and development.

Objective(s) of the Project:

To enhance the capacity of 300 teachers and 400 parents in handling and facilitating children with

Outstanding issues and implementation problems:

Winter vacations caused delay in baseline survey. After winter vacations HRDSF engaged voluntarily services of

community activist like Local Support Organization and Area Coordination Council’s male and female

members to complete baseline survey in given time frame.

Due to winter seasonal migration of community of hilly area, some visually impaired children migrated to

other places with parents, so we communicated to them regarding eye screening and decided to screen them

separately on their availability.

NOC process of Organizations was revised it is therefore Security Agencies Suspended the Project activities

and after that PRP also issued suspension letter. HRDSF team submitted the NOC application according to

new checklist and guidelines to District Administration Mansehra. District Administration Mansehra marked

HRDSF file to Social Welfare Department and Education Department for their remarks, both the departments

gave satisfactory remarks, after submission of required documents securities agencies also allowed HRDS

Foundation to carry on project activities in District Mansehra. The district administration verbally allow HRDSF

team to implement project activities but reluctant to issue NOC in writing. Project was on track but after

suspension of project PRP not restored the project without written NOC of district Administration of

Mansehra. Ultimately the project terminated by 30th November 2016.
