    1. PSC should discuss strategies for assuring in-time approvals of RDPP's and decide on advisesfor a smoother approval process of RDPPs.

    2. RFLDC proposes PSC to advise that the MoFL makes contact with MoL to facilitate thehandover of Jalmohals.

    3. The TSU proposes discussions for securing that actual field staff of MoFL in RFLDCsupported areas (direct contributors to RFLDC field programmes), are prioritized for trainingsand fellowships provided through the component.

    4. The TSU is asking for a permission to expand the implementation into more Unions, withinthe new Upazilas in Barisal and Jhalokati/ Pirojpur Districts (as proposed in the RDPP). Thisrequest is due to strong demands from local GoB staff and local communities.

    ASPS II Progress Report No 8: Regional Fisheries and Livestock Development Component February 2011

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    The Regional Fisheries and Livestock Component was initiated in October 2006, but theDevelopment Project Proforma was not approved until October 2007. The period from October2006 to the date of DPP approval was operated through an Interim Operations and ManagementUnit (IOMU) staffed with a limited number of TA staff.

    In the Noakhali TSU, a full-time Project Director was appointed in August 2007. The ProjectManagement has remained unchanged since then. Even though the Development Project Proforma

    was approved in October 2007, the formal process of recruitment of GOB and Technical Assistancestaff was not completed until March 2008. Also the Project extension mode, emphasizing theFarmer Field School was rather unfamiliar to government staff. As such expenditures to the end of April 2008 were limited and began to pick-up only from May 2008.

    In the Barisal Technical Support Unit, the first Project Director was appointed November 2007. Hewas transferred in March2009 and his replacement was transferred in November 2009. A new PDhas taken up his responsibilities from November 2009. A new Senior Advisor was appointed afterthe former Senior Advisor completed his tenure in November 2009.

    Despite late start-up, the Component has substantially achieved its targets. In Barisal , this has beenparticularly in regards to FFS and technical support to the private sector. Lately it has increased itssupport to the capacity development of CBOs and Union Parishad s Standing Committees forFisheries and Livestock. A new and special emphasis is being given to the development of linkagesbetween the P rivate Sector and the CBOs/DCAs. Also the implementation of BGs in theCBOs/UPs is given high priority.

    In Noakhali activities are now in full momentum after the initial delays. Since then there has been a

  • 8/4/2019 RFLDC Progress Report 8, 2011

    12/91

    ASPS II Progress Report No 8: Regional Fisheries and Livestock Development Component February 2011

    Increase in the number of Farmer Field Schools to 5,800 in Noakhali and greater flexibilityin the mode of implementation;

    A greater concentration on the hardcore poor in key ecologies; A wider range of channels for the disbursement of the Block Grant, including directly to the

    Union and on a pilot basis - to the Upazila Parishads; Use of credit funds for Project operations; In Noakhali , a new Output 5 to allow for incorporation of the activities of the Poultry

    Research and Training Centre at the Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University,but also allowing for expansion of capacity building with Upazila offices;

    Expansion of the number of technical assistance staff to allow for the increased poverty

    focus and intensified capacity building efforts with local institutions; Procurement of more vehicles, motorcycles and computers; An expanded adaptive research programme; An increase in the DPA budget to support these activities and in the GOB budget to cater

    for increased construction costs and higher GOB salaries.

    Unfortunately the approval of the Revised Development Project Proforma was delayed considerablydue to bureaucratic procedures, first in the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock and then in thePlanning Commission. This has meant that disbursement on any items requiring RDPP approvalwas held up, except where the original budget lay with the Embassy of Denmark. Thus thedisbursement of initial funds for adaptive research has been approved.

    The RDPP for Noakhali was approved in March 2010 and that Component has now been able toaccelerate disbursement and activities. Unfortunately, at the end of the reporting period, the RDPPfor Barisal has still not been approved and this delay has prevented necessary formal adjustments.The Barisal TSU has thus been forced to make new appointments of all created positions, proposedin the RDPP, and for the time being initially employed as short term basis.

    ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT AND WORK PLAN

    1. INTRODUCTIONThe Regional Fisheries and Livestock Development Projects in Barisal and Noakhali are two of originally four Components of the Regional Fisheries and Livestock Component (RFLDC). Theyare field-based components, managed through Technical Support Units, based in Barisal andNoakhali. The Barisal TSU is managed by a Project Director recruited from the Department of Fisheries, which is seen as the lead implementing agency. He is supported by a Deputy ProjectDirector, drawn from the Department of Livestock Services. By contrast, the Noakhali TSU ismanaged by a Project Director recruited from the Department of Livestock Services, which is seenas the lead implementing agency. He is supported by a Deputy Project Director, drawn from theDepartment of Fisheries, which is the supporting agency. In both sub-components, expatriate SeniorAdvisors backstop the Project Management and are currently joint signatories on Componentaccounts. Each Technical Support Unit has a staff of full-time professionals and support staff, 82 inNoakhali and, pending approval of the RDPP, 63 in Barisal. In Barisal several new staffs have beenrecruited on a short term basis, in anticipation of approval of the RDPP. The ComponentOrganograms are presented in Annexes 1a and, for Barisal 1b; it may be noted that there has beensubstantial amendment of the Barisal organogram which makes it rather similar to that of Noakhali.

    The Component activities started in October 2006, following the signing of the Government toGovernment Agreement. However, the Component operated through an Interim Management andOperations Unit until the end of 2007. The Inception Report for the RFLDP as a whole was drawnup during this period and submitted in May 2007. This phase was managed by the Danida SeniorAdvisors, already appointed in October 2006 (Barisal) and January 2007 (Noakhali). TheDevelopment Project Proforma (DPP) was approved in October 2007.The Project Director inNoakhali was appointed in August 2007, but he did not assume signatory powers until the approvalof the DPP. The Project Director in Barisal formally joined in December 2007. Formal staff

    14/91

    ASPS II Progress Report No 8: Regional Fisheries and Livestock Development Component February 2011

    In the context of the Agricultural Sector Programme Support, the two DPP-based Projects, inDanida terms Technical Support Units (TSUs), constitute a single Component and there should be

    close co-operation between them. This was lacking up to the end of 2009, but formal inter-component coordination meetings have been held bi-monthly in the last year, as well as exchangevisits, and different joint workshops, including:

    FFS approach (March 31-April 1, 2010), Private Sector approaches (November 10-11, 2010), Block Grants workshops (August 25-26, 2010)

    Furthermore several meetings has been conducted on the development of a common monitoringframework, realizing the need for uniform reporting within the ASPS II RFLDC. The latter includes joint development of an FFS impact evaluation study to be implemented during the next quarter andcommon tools for regular information collection on CBO profiles, monthly service deliveryactivities, outcomes of the Annual General Meetings and capacity assessment. Work is on going onthe development of a common webpage and logo for the Component, led by the Audio-VisualSpecialist of the Barisal Component.Finally, it has been decided to share good practices with mutual participation on management levelin the yearly Noakhali and Barisal planning workshops in February 2011.

    2.2 National context

    The DPP-based, RFLDP, Barisal and Noakhali Components(united in the ASPS II RFLDC), areoriented towards improving the livelihood of the rural poor. It therefore contributes to achievementof the Poverty Reduction Strategy of the Government of Bangladesh. The current PRSP recognizesthe potential contribution of both the fisheries and livestock sub-sectors to poverty alleviation.

    implemented by FAO with support from RFLDC & AEC,has been conducted in the latter part of 2010, and will be finished in the beginning of 2011.

    The Barisal TSU also works closely with a number of other international development organizations,especially the World Fish Centre, UNDP, Red Cross/Red Crescent, JOBS, FAO and other partnersworking for the same target groups. Coordination meetings with donors and projects working inBarisal Division with activities similar to RFLDC have been reactivated with a meeting in October2010. The new coordination initiative is being initiated by Save the Children USA and is expectedto include, beside the above IDE, Caritas, HKI, ACF and WHO.

    The Noakhali TSU also works closely with a number of other Projects, notably the Char

    Development and Settlement Project, Phase III, involved in infrastructural development and landallocation in the new char lands of the coastal belt. These projects are serving to improve access inthese new areas and creating the conditions including more secure settlement and water resourcedevelopment - onto which RFLDC can piggy-back in its fisheries and livestock developmentactivities. RFLDC has contributed to recent feasibility studies conducted by CDSP III in theunempoldered chars south of the mainland. Some other projects such as the Market InfrastructureDevelopment Project for the Coastal Region and CARE Shouardo have a strong concentration ondevelopment of farmer organizations, which offers scope for collaboration. As the regional

    university in the livestock sector, there is scope for direct co-operation with the ChittagongVeterinary and Animal Sciences University, which has been regularized by the transfer of responsibility for the Poultry Research and Training Centre to RFLDC, Noakhali. There is alsodialogue with Noakhali Science and Technology University on how to involve young faculty in theProjects research activities.

    3. PROGRESS

    ASPS II Progress Report No 8: Regional Fisheries and Livestock Development Component February 2011

    are benefiting from increased fish production and income. The study also reveals that family incomeincreased by about 23%.

    Both Barisal and Noakhali TSUs have conducted an internal study on impact evaluation of FFS in2010 using common tools. The Barisal TSU have taken a sample of 1251 FFS households from2504 FFS located in three districts under four sub-regional categories. The study also reveals thataverage fish production is about 9.8 kg/decimal which is a 58.1% increase over the baseline andaverage number of birds is 34 which is about 77.7% over the baseline of 19 birds.

    It is not yet possible to assess the impact on nutrition. A nutrition needs assessment survey wascompleted in June 2008 and the nutrition consultants have proposed a set of indicators to beincorporated in the Projects Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation (PME) format. However,these indicators were integrated fully into the pre-FFS survey only from November 2009, so thatagain impact assessment must wait until the completion of the Mid-Term Evaluation.

    The original Noakhali sample survey did not cover overall household income, so that the degree towhich earnings from fisheries and livestock have increased as a proportion of total income awaitsthe independent impact survey which is now being carried out by an independent nationalconsultant. The survey is jointly supported by both sub-components and the results are expected tobe available in the fourth quarter of 2010.

    3.2 Status of Immediate objectives and outputs

    a) Immediate objective

  • 8/4/2019 RFLDC Progress Report 8, 2011

    17/91

    ASPS II Progress Report No 8: Regional Fisheries and Livestock Development Component February 2011

    by 100% and from aquaculture systems with prawn by 147%. Incremental incomes from the sectorswere 123% from poultry and 102% from aquaculture, respectively. Although vegetable production

    is not covered by the indicator, production increased by 134% and income by 155%.

    A more comprehensive sample survey, covering all Farmer Field Schools completed by April 2010,is now under completion in both Component areas. This takes up the recommendations of theTechnical Review Missions recommendation that such surveys should be consistent between thetwo Component areas. Thus a sample of 1250 households from 252 FFS in Barisal and 1,000households from 200 FFS in Noakhali has been selected utilizing the same survey instruments. Dataare now being processed and results should be available in the next report.

    b) Outputs

    Progress in relation to Outputs is summarized in AnnexesB-4 and N-4 and in Tables 1a and 1b. Acommentary on each Output is given below.

    Output 1 Effective support to resource-poor households through decentralised, integrated and demand-driven fisheries and livestock extension provision .

    Barisal Up to the end of December 2010, the Barisal sub-component had started 6,970 FFS, of which 5,647had been completed. 1,323 FFS were initiated in the reporting period January-December2010.Follow-up activities are continuing in all FFS, while learning sessions are underway in theremaining 1,323 FFS.

    ASPS II Progress Report No 8: Regional Fisheries and Livestock Development Component February 2011

    NoakhaliIn Noakhali, a total of 3,808 Farmer Field Schools (FFS) have now been started, 491 in the latestcycle beginning in May-June 2010. 1,639 FFS from the first four cycles have now been phased out,with an effort underway to ensure that participants remain in contact with or become members of their respective CBOs. The total number of FFS is 65.7% of the overall revised target for theComponent of 5,800 FFS. Almost all (88%) are being run through Community-based Organizations.In all cases, the FFS are being conducted by young people drawn from the local community andknown as Local Facilitators (LF). 591LF have graduated from Season Long Learning (SLL), farabove the target figure for Local Facilitators; the higher numbers are necessary because of the delayin start-up and because each FFS runs for an extended period of 12-18 months in order to cover thedifferent livelihood options. This means that there is a limit on the number of new FFS each LF canhandle in each cycle.42.5% of the Local Facilitators in the first two Cycles were women, 68% of them have education levels of SSC and below and 69% are under the age of 30 [Can we update?]

    The SLL for LF are facilitated by Master Facilitators, comprising the Project Technical Assistancefield staff, some UFO/ULO and Project Officers of some advanced CBO. The Master Facilitatorsthemselves go through a Season Long Learning; a total of 67 project staff and GOB officers havenow been trained. This is 81% of the overall target for Master Facilitators and it is expected thatonly a few more will be trained, mainly Project Officers from the advanced CBOs. The Season-longLearning is now conducted at district level, reflecting the different ecologies in each. A new SLLcurriculum was arranged for the programme in the foothill zone of Chittagong district starting inJanuary 2010.The FFS participants are overwhelming women (72% over all four cycles to date).

    Co-operation with RRMAIDP

    Barisal242 Community-based Organizations (CBO) are now active and operational under the Barisal sub-

    component. Of these 215 are Union-based CBOs and 27 are Community-based FisheriesManagement CBOs centered on Jalmohals. 188 CBOs are registered with the CooperativeDepartment). As per the recommendations from the TRM, the CBOs are not required to getregistered to receive support from RFLDC, and therefore is optional. . Close to 100% of the FFSfarmers have joined the CBOs.

    RFLDC, Barisal, is conducting an extensive programme of capacity building with the CBOs, andin the period January-December 2010 in particular a total of 2,600 CBO members, were trained to

    form procurement committees in order to carry out their activities according to Project guidelinesand in a transparent manner. Besides a total of 1467 CBO executives (50% Presidents and 50%Secretaries) have been trained on the application of CBO procurement policy and guidelines inpurchase of inputs for farmers. Up to December 2010, 228 CBO-cashiers have been trained onproper accounting, and 183 cashiers have passed a test to be qualified to work with funds providedby RFLDC. The reasons for a number failing to pass the test, is mainly lack of a basic educationalbackground. According to an internal assessment conducted by the TSU, positive changes in themanagement and technical capacity of the CBOs have been found following these trainings.

    The range of activities conducted by the CBOs remains broad and some have become matureorganizations, both financially viable and able to take on responsibilities for local development.

    These are now termed advanced CBOs. An overview of the distribution of the different activitiescarried out by the CBOs is offered in Figure 1.

    Output 3:

    Linkages with the private sector improved to enable farmers to access quality inputs and markets. Prawn Industry

    Barisal supports currently four prawn hatcheries in 2010. In 2007-2009, these hatcheries producedabout 10.1 million post-larvae, 80% of which are sold in neighboring districts. The PL are wellreputed in other parts of Bangladesh for their quality. However, because if the difficulty inmarketing in the previous year, not all have been operational in 2010. Only one of them is making aprofit, mainly because of competition from wild post-larvae and low-quality imported PL fromIndia. The linkages between the hatcheries and the CBOs are being developed by RFLDC, but thefarmers seem to be hesitant to get involved in the Prawn industry, due to the frequent naturalcalamities.

    Noakhalis prawn industry also continues to experience problems. Although the Project has tried torestore the supply network between the hatcheries and the Community-based Organizations,especially through the training of CAARP (see above) and although the demand for post-larvae isincreasing once again, the Lakshmipur hatchery has not been operational in 2010 because of cash-

    flow problems and, for the second year running, the largest hatchery had to curtail production due todisease. Production was only 750,000 post-larvae in the first cycle. Although more likely to be dueto water quality problems, there is also concern over the spread of Noda-virus which has beenaffecting wild brood stocks in India and is spreading rapidly worldwide. The emphasis in theNoakhali component on the use of wild brood makes this a particular threat and places a premiumon the development of a controlled cultured brood stock rearing system in the region.

    Poultry and Duck hatcheries

    BarisalTwo electric incubator based duck hatcheries have been established, and they have produced 40,000ducklings in 2010. One incubator based poultry hatchery has also been established, with aproduction start in November 2010 and a production capacity of 16,000 shonali chicks/month.

    Linkages in Input Suppliers

    Both Components continue to support existing partners in the agribusiness sector with technicalsupport. However, after the disappointment of the effort to enlist specific investors in the dairyindustry and in day-old duckling production, there has been some shift in strategy towardsfacilitating access by the CBOs to sources of quality input supply in general. The NoakhaliComponent has begun to seek a partnership with local large scale agricultural producers as sourcesof quality input supply to the Community-based Organizations. These larger farms bring in inputs,which they use themselves, for onward sale to the CBOs and also produce inputs such as fruit andvegetable seeds, fodder cuttings and stock of local naked neck chicks for sale. Memoranda are beingprepared which may involve joint research on some of these inputs. These Memoranda follow the

    model of the relationship with Southern Agro Trades, which operates the goat kid multiplicationKids and lambs (from sheep reared largely in the chars during the winter months) are now beingdistributed regularly through the CBOs, but there is also co-operation between the Farm and theProject in supply of fodder cuttings and in conduct of research into the development of a feedingstrategy for goats under the ASPS II Adaptive Research Programme (see below)

    The Barisal Component is working on establishing linkages between its new CBO Associations andprivate sector suppliers of fish and shrimp seed, poultry feed and vegetable seeds. Technical

    which were supported by an external audit. The project has written to the CBOs found to have usedtheir block grant allocation irregular and repay/reconstitute executive committee etc. All CBOs haverealized their mistakes and refunded funds not used properly and have excluded the executivemembers involved. The support to a small number of CBOs has been discontinued, as these CBOsdid not follow the agreement with the project for the grant support and did not follow the directionfor rectifying. Overall the project believes that this whole process is a major achievement for theCBOs as they are rectifying themselves and as the members are pressurizing the executivecommittee using their democratic rights to exclude those involved in irregularities and making themrepay. The reported CBO has now changed their executive bodies democratically.

    In 2009, the Block Grant was also given directly to CBOs mainly (Tk15 miln) for construction of CBO offices and for CBFM for constructing pens and cages. The design of the offices was uniform,and the DoF Divisional Engineer assisted in the design and in the technicalities of construction. 54offices have been completed. This support will be evaluated as to whether it makes a moresustainable organization, compared to CBOs with only rented offices or offices constructed fromown funds.

    Since mid-2009, according to the advice of Technical Review Mission, RFLDC, Barisal has re-oriented the distribution of the Block Grants to be channelized through the Union Parishads andaway from investments in offices towards different IGAs, mainly within the fisheries and livestock sectors. Two options are being followed, to the accounts of the UP where these have adequatecapacity for onward transfer to the CBOs making proposals and the other option, directly to theaccounts of the CBOs where this is not the case. In both cases, the UPs will be involved inmonitoring and supporting the CBOs BG proposals for which they receive a 10% administrativecharge. In making this shift, RFLDC, Barisal has undertaken a significant capacity building effortwith the Union Parishads. A one-day orientation workshop on UP Block Grant Implementation andManagement was organized during the reporting period at 5 venues in three districts involving 579

    Noakhali

    In the first half of 2010, a total of 77 Union Parishads had entered the Fisheries and Livestock Block Grant scheme under the original model of channeling the grant to CBOs. 6 UP had received thegrant more than once. In all cases, the UP Councils go through an orientation, followed by trainingfor the members of the Standing Committee for Fisheries and Livestock in their roles and for the UPSecretaries in financial management.

    In addition a total of 44 Unions had begun to develop their own programmes for direct fundingfacilitating proposals received from Ward Committees.

    The pilot initiative to offer support to three Upazila Parishads in Noakhali district has continuedthroughout the period.The performance of the three Upazilas has been mixed, but there have beenhighly encouraging results from Subornachar Upazila in particular in the printing of Union dataprofiles, the institution of a bimonthly GO-NGO coordination meeting and the development of demand-driven dev elopment projects to support fishers communities with alternative income -generating activities and to address the problem of water supply for livestock in the new chars. TheGO-NGO coordination meeting was begun to demand accountability of local officers. The co-operation here and in Kabirhat between the Upazila Chair and the Upazila Nirbahi Officer was beenexcellent and in Kabirhat too there has been a worthwhile development proposal to support thelivelihood of poor women.

    RFLDC, Noakhali, has begun to dialogue and co-operate with the Rural Roads Component to widenthe Upazila planning experience into a more strategic framework, involving a broad group of localstakeholders in local economic development planning. Subornachar is one chosen location for thisexercise and a second Upazila is being selected, probably Komolnagar in Lakshmipur District.

    promote small-scale dairy farming (in December 2008) and for the Department of Fisheriescampaigns and rallies associated with jatka conservation (February 2009).

    Sadly, activities under this Output have slowed down in the last 6 months because of the discoveryof a case of petty corruption in one Upazila Livestock Office by the EOD External Audit conductedin May 2009. This discovery led EOD to request RFLDC, Noakhali, to conduct its own InternalAudit of all UFO and ULO, which has indicated a much wider problem. At the completion of theInternal Audit process in January 2010, misuse of project funds had been identified in 26 offices,involving a total sum of Tk1.2 million. The majority of these cases involve Upazila Livestock Offices. This situation was later confirmed by a review by the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock and the transfer of the officers concerned, pending disciplinary action, has been initiated. Until thistransfer has been fully effected, there is no possibility of more than token support to the localoffices of the Departments of Fisheries and Livestock Services.

    Research (Output 6)

    According to the decision of the Programme Steering Committee, based on the recommendations of the Joint Sector Review, the funds for adaptive research originally under the Program fund, havenow been transferred to the field units of ASPS II. Based upon Guidelines developed by the

    Programme Support Unit in the Planning Commission, proposals for adaptive research were invitedspecific to the needs of the fisheries and livestock sectors in Noakhali and Barisal.

    In Noakhali , over 30 proposals were received and contracts for seven proposals selected have beenfinalized. These cover a range of topics, three in the aquaculture sector and four in the livestock sector, the latter mainly focused on feed technology and management. Initial budgets of over Tk12million have been disbursed. In addition, two other projects on cross-cutting themes contracted byPSU-PC are being implemented in Noakhali.

    The revision of the RDPP, which was initiated in the summer of 2009, was finally completed inMarch 2010. The draft was reviewed at a Pre-ECNEC meeting on May 10 th, 2010, which raisedfurther issues in relation to the re-allocation of Danida funds. A recast RDPP, in which the issuesmentioned have been clarified, has been handed over to DOF and MOFL. In the absence of theapproval of the RDPP, Annex 5a presents progress in relation to specific activities comparative to

    the overall targets in the proposed revision of the Development Project Proforma.

    Despite the delay in approval of the RDPP, in order to decentralize project implementation as wellas to maintain closer monitoring of activities, the Barisal TSU has created the positions. To speedup the process, by the end of December 2010, the TSU had already selected newly created positionson a short-term basis. The staffs are already placed in the newly set-up and District Offices.

    3.4 Summary Financial status Danida and GOB contribution

    Barisal

    The ADP budget for the 2009-10 Financial Year (Year 3 of the DPP) for the Barisal Componentwas set at Tk 339.9 million. The actual expenditure was about 62% of the total budget (Tk 209.31million), although the achievement was not evenly distributed, with some budget lines has wellutilized or not be utilized at all, whereas in some areas utilization was 100%. Budget lines underspend included International and Regional Consultants, Review of CBO Experience BaselineSurvey of UPs, Disbursement of Block Grant, International Study Tours, Procurement of Vehiclesand use of CD-VAT and other minor procurements. In some cases, the decision has depended uponhigher authority specifically the approval of the RDPP.

    The Revised ADP budget for the year 2010-11 Financial Year (Year 4 of the DPP) for the BarisalComponent was set at Tk 185 million. The actual expenditure July-December 2010 was about 42%of the total budget (Tk 77.62 million), although the achievement was not evenly distributed, withsome budget lines has well utilized or not be utilized at all, whereas in some areas utilization wasmore than 60%. Budget lines under spend included International and Regional Consultants, StudyTours, Procurement of Vehicles and use of CD-VAT and other minor procurements. In some cases,the decision has depended upon higher authority specifically the approval of the RDPP.

    The DPA budget for 2010 was set at Tk 231.21 million, of which just 81% was disbursed (Tk 186.22 million), although the achievement was not evenly distributed, with some budget lines haswell utilized or not be utilized at all, whereas in some areas utilization was 100%. Budget linesunder spend included International and Regional Consultants, Study Tours, Procurement of

    for the 6 th Cycle of FFS were not disbursed by the years en d. It is estimated that over Tk50 millionof expenditure was held up as a result of these constraints. Thus the total expenditure in the secondhalf of 2009 was only Tk42.245 million.

    Fortunately, forward planning has allowed RFLDC, Noakhali, to substantially increase itsexpenditure in the second half of financial year 2009-2010. In the first six months of 2010,expenditure was Tk123.298 million, bringing the overall total for the Tk165.543 million, 97.38% of the revised ADP allocation for the year. This figure is somewhat artificial since it includes transfersto PRTC of Tk36.709 million, of which only just over Tk6.2 million had been spent at the end of the reporting period. Thus the real expenditure for financial year 2009-10 was approximately Tk135million or 79.41%. Having said that, most of the remaining Tk30 million held in PRTC iscommitted and will be disbursed before October 2010.

    Participation in study tours and getting fellowships:Too few field staff level staff of GOB are being selected for fellowships and foreign trainings/ study

    tours. The TSU has nominated GoB field staff working within the implementation area, butunfortunately in many cases, the central authorities have selected others not directly involved in theComponent activities for these activities or are not willing to give Government Orders to thoseselected by the project. The Embassy has already clarified its position in a letter, but the Ministry isnot following this. The TSU has been instructed by the EoD not to forward applications for GoBstaff where a Government Order is not assured. We propose that the Embassy and the Ministrydiscuss this issue and come to a conclusion about who may participate in the Danida FellowshipTrainings and how this can be facilitated. This issue has been raised several times without resolution.

    Procedure for UP Block Grant Allocation:The UPs and their SCFL's in the project area are in the process of increasing their capacity, to beable to handle the Block Grants. The Project is intensifying capacity development support to the UP,but it is expected in some cases that more time is needed to enable the UP to handle the block grantproperly. The project will follow two lines of disbursement, based on the capacity of the UPs. The

    project management will, as recommended by the JTRM, start to provide BG-funds to the CBOsthrough the UPs, by the recommendations from the SCFL. This strategy will be used in the UPswhich are considered to have the necessary capacity. The UPs and SCFLs that is not beingconsidered capable of handling the UP Block Grant, the project will follow a different procedure

    for the allocation and management in which the BGs are provided bypassing the UPs.

    Release of CD-VAT:The CD-VAT was released for the procurement of motorcycles in June 2009 but the application for

    CD-VAT for the vehicle procurement still awaits release. Originally it was the intention to purchasea vehicle in the spring of 2010 according to the DPP, but it has not been possible due the failure torelease CD/VAT.

    Vacancies of DoF and DLS field level officials:

    The number of vacant positions in both DoF/DLS is relatively high in Barisal Region. It seems tothat Government Officials is less willing to work in this rather remote area. Some of the officials areholding 3-4 charges, and in most cases junior staffs are holding the positions as Upazila officers,which eventually results in poor contribution to their responsibilities. This issue has been broughtup several times to different PSC meetings in the former component PBAEP, in CSC meetings of RFLDC and in PSC meetings of ASPS II. On each occasions the Departments have under taken tosolve the problem, but unfortunately, there seems no significant changes. We propose that all thevacant posts are to be filled up, and future withdrawal of officers from this area will be minimized.

    Contribution of DoF/DLS field staff in implementationThe contribution from DoF/DLS field staff to project implementation is often rather limited, thoughan increase in interest is being noticed. The reasons for this lacking interest, in addition to what arementioned under 3 and 5a, could be that allowances are not provided from Danida to GoB staff, asthere is no provision for this, according to the Government to Government agreements on ASPS II.

    General

    Towards the end of 2009, it became apparent that, as a result of the world recession, funds availablefrom the Government of Denmark for 2010 would be limited. Eventually, after discussion withother Components, it emerged that the amount allocated by the Embassy of Denmark to RFLDC as

    a whole would only be DKK 21 million, including funds for the adaptive research programmealready spent. A small amount would be allocated to the Support Units in DOF and DLS, leavingDKK 20.6 million for the Technical Support Units. The share of the Noakhali TSU in this amountwas just DKK 9.35 mill. (Tk112.2 mill.), and for the Barisal TSU DKK 11.25 mill.(Tk 135 mill.).

    The first edition of the RDPP for Barisal was submitted to the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock in August 2009, under the former Joint Management. The second and amended edition wasforwarded on March 16, 2010, and the amendments was mainly due to an increase of the GoBbudget. A pre-ECNEC meeting was conducted on 30 May 2010, resulting in a request for furtheramendments. The request for further amendments was a consent letter from ERD, explaining theextra funds from the former Support Units of ASPS II, and more specific budget. A 3 rdamendedRDPP, based on the March RDPP has been forwarded to the MoFL, and it is expected that afinalization of the procedure could be expected within the month of March 2011.

    Field Day: 490 Field Days (245 for summer crops and 245 for winter crops) will bearranged to promote FFS knowledge, adoption and technology decimation. Low costs andsmall scale events on farm level by CBOs, will be arranged to minimize costs, to promotefuture sustainability of Field Days (FDs). A number of FFS farmers groups will visit otherFFSs activities/areas, to exchange experiences and learn from each others.

    Training of Input/Support Providers : like Paravets (CLWs- Community Livestock Workers, and CPWs- Community Poultry Workers), School Teachers, AI-technicians, Fry-traders, Nurserers, Input sellers etc, will be provided with all together. And 1,450 in 2011.These trainings will ensure quality inputs from the input suppliers to the FFS-members. Totrain the Community Livestock Workers, RFLDC-Barisal is also planning for collaborationwith the Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU).

    Consultancy 1000 in Nov.-Dec assistance will be continued for private sector providers of farm inputs, both fisheries (12 month) and livestock (12 month).

    Capacity building of CBOs: Including 12 new CBOs formed last year in Barisal District,2,480 members from 257 CBOs will receive training on various aspects in relations toinstitutional and financial capacity buildings, notably entrepreneurship development andbusiness management. A one-day orientation training on financial management will be alsocontinued for the chairmen and secretaries, especially for the new ones. Organizationalmanagement training/leadership development for CBO leaders will be conducted as threedays trainings. Cross visits (50 events) will be conducted, with visits from CBOs to other

    Local Government Institutions: Capacity training into Block Grant implementation andmanagement and Planning and Budgeting will be conducted. Interactive theatre andestablishment of information bill board sign front of UP offices will be arranged, to creategreater transparency. DoF and DLS officials will be trained on planning, monitoring aswell as BG management. Study tours within the country will be arranged District wise fornewly elected Union Parishads officials and secretaries to other UPs, who has good track record of Good Governance, especially in relation to the SCAFL and who is practicing

    participatory planning and open budgeting.

    Block Grants: The BGs as a rule will be provided through the UPs, integrated as a part of the UP annual budget. Due to the planned UP-elections and expected changes of theofficials of the UPs, it was decided to only fully involve the most matured UPs in the BG-process, all together 150 UPs, out of 185 UPs. It is expected, after the up-coming electionMarch 2011, that the majority of the BGs during the first half of 2011, will be fullychannelized through the UPs. Where the UPs are not interested in handling BGs or notcomplying with terms and conditions, the CBOs will, as an exception from the rule, be ableto receive BGs directly from RFLDC. As a pilot project, direct funding for UPs areplanned for ward level development, in wards with no CBO activities. Only UPs with agood reputation and a good track record in RFLDC will be provided the direct BGs.

    Finally, DCAs will receive BGs for initial establishment cost.

    Exposure visits of UP Chairmen outside Bangladesh are planned to a Local GovernanceInstitute in India. Having no response from Kerala Institution for Local Administration,KILA, RFLDC-Barisal is planning to contact other organizations, preferably in WestBengal and/or neighbour states. Preferences will be given to the institute which has moresimilar type of work experiences and people/beneficiaries are of similar language and theculture/socio-economic status as well as where the cost will be at lower levels.

    5.1.2 Budget for 2011

    BarisalThe DPA budget for the 2010-11 Financial Year in the Revised ADP is Tk 150 mill. Fundsavailable from the donor in 2011 will be higher, with DKK 20 mill. (Tk 253 million) so thatthe DPA budget under the Revised ADP will probably be exceeded.

    The total GOB Revised ADP budget for the fiscal year 2010-2011 is Tk. 13.4 million, withTk.7.1 million under revenue and Tk. 6.3 million under capital head. This total GOBbudget provision will cover all the expenses proposed for purchase of poultry incubator

    and generator set, furniture, equipments, staff salaries and allowances, purchase of fuel,maintenance and other contingencies.

    The ADP budget the fiscal year 2010-2011 Tk. 10 million was included as CDVAT. Thisfund was not sufficient for payment of CDVAT for purchases of vehicles under DPAbudget. So in the Revised ADP 2010-11 CDVAT has been excluded because there will beno procurement of vehicle under DPA budget in the fiscal year 2010-11.

    NoakhaliThe DPA budget for the 2010-11 Financial Year in the ADP has been set at Tk160 million.This reflects the situation in relation to donor funding described above. The original budgetfor July-December 2010 of Tk77.6 million reflected the situation and has been increasedonly slightly to reflect the balance from the first part of the year.

    However, it is expected that the funds available from the donor in 2011 will be substantially
