Gender Development Assessment Plan for

Jalalpur Irrigation Project (JIP)
1.
INTRODUCTION
The proposed JIP area is located along the right bank of Jhelum River in Tehsil Pind Dadan
Khan (PD Khan) and Tehsil Khushab of district Khushab. The project area can be accessed
through Lahore- Islamabad motorway by taking exit from Lillah interchange. Alternatively, the
area may be reached via GT road from Jhelum or Kharian to Rasul barrage. The location of the
project area is shown in. Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1: Project Area

Under the proposed JIP, a new non-perennial irrigation system will be constructed for
enhancing the agricultural produce in Pind Dadan Khan and Khushab districts. The main canal
of about 110 km, off-taking from the right flank of the Rasul Barrage, will traverse along the right
bank of Jhelum River to irrigate a command area of about 64,550 hectares on its left side. The
command area of JIP is in form of long strip of land bounded by the salt range hills on northern
side and Jhelum River (right bank) on southern side. The distribution system about 176 km
comprising of distributaries and minors extends up to the right bank of Jhelum River.
There are 59 hill torrents of varying catchment size which flow across the project area and
ultimately fall in Jhelum River. The climate in the project area is hot and arid. Summer (MayAugust) temperatures vary from 180 to 46 0C and winter (November-February from 00 to 24 0C).
In spring and autumn, temperatures are moderate. The rainfall is low and erratic and the pan
evaporation is three times of average yearly rainfall, requiring irrigation essential for crop
production.
Presently, farmers in the Project area are practicing mainly rain fed agriculture associated with
tube well farming. Dominant crops in the area are wheat, cotton, rice, sugarcane, maize, fodder,
potatoes, vegetables, citrus and onion crops. Farmers in the project area face low agricultural
1
production and low farm incomes as the result of frequent crop failure, low crop yields, low farm
profitability and secondary salinization.
2.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The main objective of this project is the supply of irrigation water to the project area through a
non-perennial canal proposed to off-take from the right bank of Rasul Barrage on Jhelum River.
Most of the area is underlain by unusable to marginally usable groundwater. However, in areas
close to river bank, sweet groundwater is available and tubewells are being currently used for
irrigation. An irrigation canal not only provides irrigation supplies, but also becomes a source for
drinking water where subsurface water is brackish and people have, as a routine, to walk
kilometres at an end to fetch drinking water. The construction of the Canal would help to reduce
the poverty of area by increasing the per capita income of the community in the area and there
will be consequential increase of GDP of Pakistan.
An inundation canal was initially built by the Town Committee, Pind Dadan Khan to meet with
their drinking water requirements. It was later taken over by the Irrigation and Power
Department. This canal named Pind Dadan Khan Canal emanated from a creek of Jhelum River
upstream of Railway Bridge near Haranpur and flowed with the rise of water in the river mainly
in the summer months. Apart from providing drinking water to Pind Dadan Khan town, it used to
irrigate the area on its way. On completion of the Mangla Dam, supplies in Jhelum River were
regulated and this inundation canal stopped functioning due to lack of required water level.
Therefore, currently there is no such canal in the project area.
Provision of irrigation supplies will also help leach surface salinity from the soils and therefore
saline areas will be recovered. The project also aims to strengthen community participation and
Private Agriculture Support Services. All these measures will help reducing the poverty in the
area and boost the economy at local as well as national- level.
3.
INITIAL POVERTY AND SOCIAL ASSESSMENT (IPSA)
The Initial Poverty and Social Assessment (IPSA)has been carried out for Jalalpur Irrigation
Project. The IPSA has been carried out keeping in view the requirements laid down in
Operational Policy (OP Paragraph 6) and needs to address the followings:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
identify expected poverty and social impacts of the intervention as a

contribution to results at the sector and country levels;
identify key social issues such as participation, gender, involuntary
resettlement, indigenous people, labourer, affordability, and other risks and/or
vulnerabilities) that need to be addressed during implementation of the
project preparatory technical assistance (PPTA) and the ensuing project;
identify plans and terms of reference to assist in project preparation; and
identify and allocate resources for conducting social analysis during the
feasibility study or due diligence
An IPSA of the project is currently uploaded on the ADB website that was prepared by ADB
during the Project Concept Stage. As part of TA services, the Consultants have updated the
IPSA and have supplemented the IPSA with field data collection. The updated IPSA report was
submitted to the ADB in November 2014.

NESPAK-ICS JV
3.1.Needs of Beneficiaries in Relation to the Proposed Project

The project will benefit more than 225,000 rural peoples; most of them are small farmers. The
direct beneficiaries will be the farmers through stabilized crop yield and agricultural support
services. The female community will also benefit as they are also contributing directly and
indirectly to various agro related activities as illustrated later in the report. The other
beneficiaries will include farm labourer and women through enhanced farming activities.
3.2 Potential Initial Stakeholders

The potential stakeholders include:
Direct Beneficiaries / Stakeholders: Farmers, women, farming labourer
Non-governmental organizations working in the project area
Institutions responsible for Implementation: Punjab Irrigation Department and

Punjab Agriculture Department.
3.3 Gender Mainstreaming Category of the Proposed Project

As per project TOR and ADB policy regarding gender mainstreaming categories of ADB
projects, field survey was conducted and after its analysis, the project has been categorized as;
Category-C , i.e. Some Gender Elements (SGE) with reference to ADB guidelines as below:
(i)
(ii)
by its nature, it is likely to directly improve women's access to social services; and/or
economic and financial resources and opportunities, and/or basic rural and urban
infrastructure, and/or enhance their voices and rights (for example education, health, rural
development, microfinance, water supply and sanitation, food security, and emergency
food and rehabilitation assistance), but that Included little, if any gender analysis and few
or no specific design features; and did not meet the EGM criteria, or
is unlikely to directly improve womens access to social, economic or
financial resources or opportunities, but significant efforts were made during
project preparation to identify potential positive and negative impacts on women.
Some gender features are included to enhance benefits to women (for example targets for
employment of women in project construction work, provision of equal pay for equal work,
information campaigns on HIV/AIDS risk, gender training of Executing/implementing
agencies and adherence to core labor standards, especially child labor); and where
resettlement is involved includes attention to women in the mitigation/resettlement plans
(such as compensation payments to both men and women, joint-ownership of replacement
land/housing, restoration of livelihood initiatives for women, and so forth).
At first stage, socio-economic field survey of the sample 20 villages was conducted and data
was collected from famers communities and IPSA report was prepared and submitted to the
ADB in November 2014. The report did not include gender survey for want of female sociologist
in the PPTA team to conduct the Gender Survey. However, subsequent to the submission of
IPSA report, TA Consultant managed the collection of data on gender related issues with the
facilitation of NRSP.A total of 10 females community organizations (COs) were contacted and
3
NESPAK-ICS JV
data was collected through structured questionnaire. However, most of the questions were
qualitative and responses were in narrative form and open ended.
Based on the survey, a gender development plan is chalked out to provide the opportunity to
uplift their socio-economic status so that they may play important role in economic growth of
their families.
4.
APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY FOR GENDER STUDY
The methodology for Gender Studies is framed after detailed review and perusal of the project
objectives and the requirements of the study. The envisaged approach is based on the
identification tentative route of the proposed canal and an expected project impacts. The
Consultants approach and methodology for achieving the study objectives is based on the
following criteria:
Detailed consultations with the client throughout the project,
Close review of background reports, ADB and other donors policies regarding
gender participation, gender planning and development.
Frequent meetings with the female communities/Community Organization (COs)

fall in the project area,
Meetings with the local NGO and other institutions to exchange knowledge
regarding gender development of the project area.
4.1 Sampling Procedure

Detailed field visits were made from head to tail of the proposed canal to enlist the villages and
settlements expected to be impacted due to acquisition of land, privately owned
structures/assets and community and public property or structures etc. These villages will also
be benefitted from the project as the whole area will become under cultivation. After preparing a
comprehensive list of these villages, a district wise list of these villages was prepared. . The
sample size of 10 Community Organizations (COs) was determined for data collection based on
proportionate sampling technique.
The data was collected by exploiting both primary and secondary sources. The primary data
was collected by interviewing the respondents/stakeholders in the group.
The designed questionnaire was reviewed and approved by the ADB. The questionnaire was
pre-tested in the field to check its authenticity and validity. The required changes were
incorporated in the final version (APPENDIX-1).
National Rural Support Program (NRSP), which is a Non-Governmental Organization, is
working in the project area since 2001. The program of NRSP aims to improve livelihoods of the
local people especially the females to reduce poverty by providing them small and soft loans
with relevant training and skill. The second objective is women empowerment. NRSP has
formed numerous Community Organizations (COs). They have carried out their registration,
assessed training needs and provided training in the required field. The main emphasis of
NRSP is to form female organizations to create awareness to participate in the development
programmes. The training encouraged them to come forward to participate in the NRSP to get
opportunities to uplift their socio-economic condition.
4
NESPAK-ICS JV
The local communities and respondents were already aware of the proposed project. Some
initial meetings were arranged by the NRSP due to close coordination with the local peoples,
especially the women living in the project area.
4.2 Data Collection

Data was collected from 152 female respondents belonged to ten surveyed villages as shown in
APPENDIX-2, in which females COs were established. The respondents group comprised all
type of categories as farming and non-farming community. The questionnaire comprised many
questions like role & responsibilities of women, decision making power regarding should have
family size/ nos. of children, preference of male baby, gender bias on girl birth, women serving
in different institutions, gender preference in education, women health issues, access to drinking
water, finance and control over resources like land and other assets. Access to earning
opportunities and its usage, salary and its usage and control of women, males attitude with
women, vulnerability and caring, social protection of vulnerable, gender violence, project
benefits for women, project impact on women and pressing needs of women.
Apart from these indicators, the data was also collected about their opinion and suggestion for
the proposed project. It will give an insight picture of the females of the project.
The details of surveyed villages and females Community Organizations (COs) are summarized
in the following Table 4-1, while photolog of the interviews are appended with the report.

Data provided in the table indicates that all activities mentioned in the above table are being
carried out by the females in the study area. Women also take significant part in most laborious
tasks including fetching water and collection of fuel wood.
The above findings are in line with socio-cultural norms of Pakistan in which family affairs are
divided between husband and wife based on individual household preferences. Most of the
housekeeping activities are watched by women, whereas men are primarily involved in outdoor
activities. Majority of the female respondents reported that due to low income and limited
resources, their life is restless and they do not get enough healthy food and nutrients which lead
to health problems like body pain (joint pain), blood pressure and skin diseases.
4.5. Main Roles & Responsibilities of Men and Women regarding Livestock and
Agriculture Management.
It is generally observed in the farming and rural community, that most of livestock related
activities and many of agriculture related activities are being performed by the females. In
surveys on other projects such as Lower Bari Doab Canal Improvement Project (LBDCIP) and
Punjab Irrigated Agriculture Investment Program (PIAIP), it has been determined that without
participation of rural women, farmers cannot perform their farming activities very well.
The related information were gathered from the female respondents and result is provided in the
Table 4-3 and Table 4-4 below.

Data was collected on eleven activities related to female contribution and performance is shown
in tables above. Out of 11 activities, 08 activities ( 73 %), on which females were more involved,
while three activities, which were beyond their capacity like land preparation by oxen or tractors,
treatment of adult livestock in the veterinary hospital far away from their houses and irrigating
the field especially at night ( water management).
4.6. Decision Making

Pakistan rural population is more than 72 percent and the female population is higher than
male. As per socio-cultural traditions, the decision making role is divided within the family. In
some aspects, only the male members are deciding factors, while in others the female members
are contributing in the decision making.
During the field survey, data regarding decision making power was collected from the 10
females community organizations in the project area. After analyzing the information, the
results are provided in the Table 4-3. The survey indicates that there is a level of gender
awareness in the community. The female community is generally respected and carry
weightage in decision making and consultation in different domestic matters.
7
NESPAK-ICS JV
The data clearly indicates that except two activities i.e. assets to buy & sell and health facility
from where to be availed other matters are decided through mutual consultation and
understanding. Out of seven domestic matters, five (71%) are being performed with mutual
understanding. It indicates a positive sign of females preference and respect.
An important information was gathered that 60 % agree to send females outside the home to
work with mutual understanding. At the same time, they are reluctant to send females,
especially the young girls outside the area in other cities for a job. It indicates that there was
lack of confidence and the trust over their females as well as the host community.

4.7. Access to Education and Skill

The education plays an important role for the overall development of the society. Through
education, development can be pursued in a scientific way. In agriculture sector, proper land
preparation, sowing, irrigation, pesticides/ insecticides, harvesting, storage and marketing
require update knowledge and full awareness for maximum benefit. Similarly, to maintain the
house by the females, proper education and training like cleaning, mid-wife, stitching, dyeing,
animal raring, kitchen garden, child caring and so on cannot be performed properly without
education and proper skill.
In this regard, the project area is backward due to non-availability of educational and vocational
institutions.
Three questions were placed in the questionnaire regarding Access to Education and Skill like:
8
NESPAK-ICS JV
I.
II.
III.
Are there any constraints for girls accessing education? What are the main constraints?
Gender preference for sending children to school?
Are there any vocational centres/schools for girls/women? What kinds of training
courses are available with these vocational centres?
During the field survey, the data was collected in this regards. These were open ended
questions and the responses were recorded in narrative form, which are expressed in the
qualitative form.
There was no constraint to access education for the girls. All the respondents were satisfied that
there is no problem and issue to send girls to school. There is no preference for sending the
children to schools and girls have the equal rights to obtain education. During the survey,
primary schools were available in the villages while for higher education, no high schools and
colleges were established by the government. The respondents expressed their requirement to
establish higher educational institutions in the area to educate their girls. They wished that if
their girls could get higher education, they would get good jobs and their social status will be
raised.
Data was also collected related to existence of vocational centres and type of training being
provided. Out of total, 90% of the respondents reported that there was no training centre for
female. They further said that only NRSP is providing training. The Government of Punjab has
established training centres in the Chak Shadi and Chak Jani between Pind Dadan Khan and
Jalalpur Sharif. An allowance of Rupees five hundred is also provided to trainees by the Punjab
Government. However, these centres are more accessible for the females located on the main
road. The survey indicated that female community is generally not aware of these training
institutes. Another NGO named Akhuwwat working in the area provides small loans and
training along with awareness in the females community to improve their socio-economic
status. The details of these institutions are provided below Table:

4.8. Access to Health Facilities

Health facilities present a disappointing situation in the area. All the respondents showed their
serious concerns over health facilities. Few questions were put in the questionnaire for female
respondents as:
-
What kinds of health facilities are available in the area? Do women seek pre and post
natal health consultations and care? If not, what are the main constraints?
Distance from the nearest health facility in KMs? (BHU, RHC District Hospital)?
What are the main health issues for men and women? Any common water borne
diseases in the area?
Data was collected from the targeted female community organizations to ascertain existing
health facilities for the local population, especially the females. About 60 % of the contacted
females organization reported that Basic Health Unit (BHU) are established in their villages, 20
% informed that no BHU were in their villages and 20% reported that BHUs are away from their
villages.
As far as Gynaecologist doctor is concerned, 80 % responded that no natal specialist was
available in their areas. The patients have to go to Sargodha, Lahore and Rawal Pindi for
emergency check-up and delivery purpose. It causes too many risks and heavy expenses,
beyond the affordability of a common family.
The respondents of Pindi Saidpur, Sauwal, Ahmad Abad, Gharib wal and Pinnanwal reported
that BHUs are there, but no lady doctors were appointed in those BHUs. There are private
hospitals and clinics, but there were no lady doctors having adequate experience besides
charging heavy fees.
Data regarding common diseases and water- related diseases was also collected. Blood
pressure, diarrhoea, kidney pain, joint pain, sugar (diabetes) and hepatitis are common
diseases in both males and females. Amongst these diseases, diarrhoea, kidney and blood
pressure are caused due to brackish and unhygienic drinking water. Kidney problem was
reported in Ahmad Abad village, while hepatitis cases were recorded in Saroba village.
4.9. Access to Drinking Water
During field survey, the data was on drinking water and its quality collected. Three questions
were added in the questionnaire to ascertain the existing situation of drinking water. The
following questions were asked:
I.
II.
III.
What are the main sources of drinking water?

What are the key drinking water specific issues in the area?
Do women fetch water in the area? Distance travelled by women (in Kms) to access
water? Time used in fetching water?
In the study area, 50 % water supply was managed by the government water supply schemes,
30 % by the private water supply schemes and the remaining 20 % had installed their own hand
pumps and electric water pumps to extract ground water for their domestic use.
10
NESPAK-ICS JV
The information collected on water quality situation was disappointing and dismal. Only 30%
reported good quality of drinking water, while 70% reported that water quality was not good due
to the following reasons:
Shallow depth bore of water supply scheme or their personal hand pumps.
Pipes were damaged and rusted causing mix-up of brackish water with fresh and making
it contaminated.
Response regarding women fetch water was also ascertained during the field survey. The
data indicates that 50% women of the area do not need to fetch water as they had regular water
supply in their house. A few households of Saroba, Sauwal, Gharibwal, Pindi saidpur and
Pinnanwal villages reported that the females of these villages do fetch water from the nearby
area. The reason was that they belonged to very poor families and cannot afford installation
cost and monthly water charges. It takes 40-50 minutes daily to fetch water. Some of them had
arranged their own hand pumps or electric water pumps to pump out groundwater, but the
quality of the water is not good.
4.10. Access to Finance/ Credit
The project area fall in rain fed area and most of the lands are not under cultivation. The farmers
have small land holding and depend upon rain for cultivation. The non-farming community is
closely associated with the farming community. The low income and limited resources of
farmers also affect the non-farmers households. The study conducted in twenty villages of the
project area in October 2014 indicated that per capita income was less than one US$.
Keeping in view the financial condition of the local people, National Rural Support Program
(NRSP) initiated micro financing program to improve the socio-economic condition of the poorer.
For this purpose, male and female community organizations are being formed. The field staffs of
NRSP do conduct social mobilization in the communities and establish different groups to get
benefits from the program.
Generally, up to rupees twenty thousand is provided to each CO female member. During the
application, purpose of getting small loan (business or activity) is assessed. At the time of
providing loan, the relevant training is provided to the recipient, so that she could get skill,
knowledge and ability to run her business activity.
At present, NRSP is providing training in the following fields to manage their domestic activities
and generate income:
-
Book binding
Dopatta rangai (Dying of fabrics)
Livestock raring
Beautician
Cooking
Embroidery
Grain storage
Surf & soap
Child caring
Data was collected from the field regarding access to financing. To collect the requisite
information, following questions were included in the questionnaire:
11
NESPAK-ICS JV
I.
II.
What kind of financial services (such as banking, micro-finance, and savings) are
available to women?
What kind of challenges/constraints women face in accessing financial services?
The results of the survey indicates that 100% of the respondents had obtained loan from NRSP
and started various small business activities. But majority of them invested their loan to
purchase goat and calves etc. After two-three years, they buy cow or buffalo to sell milk for
enhancing their income.
It was observed that they feel comforts to get loan due to easy process, because vast majority
of the females were illiterate. They never feel any constraints while getting small loan. However,
few of them showed their mild concern that NRSP recovers the loan with two extra instalments.
Another NGO named Akhuwat has also initiated program similar to NRSP.
4.11. Access and Control Over Resources/Property
Generally the assets and property issues are managed and controlled by the male of the
household. Although the asset and property is owned by female, yet she is not allowed to
disclose to others. She cannot supervise it. She cannot sale it or purchase new property without
permission of the male, although religion and country law permits her to own, sell & purchase
the property. In some cases, the business or property (land/house etc.) is entirely owned by the
female but the family members including husband, son, brother or father get benefit out of it and
she has no right to talk about it.
Data was collected in this regard to ascertain the local situation. 100% of the respondents
responded that the females alone cannot sell or purchase their properties. Mostly the males
manage such activities. For example, if the males desire to sell her house or land for another
purpose, he will ask her to obey and sign the papers.
4.12. Access to Income Earning Opportunities
Income is considered main indicator to assess socio-economic condition of the community or
socio-economic status of an individual. There are many sources of income, from salary/job,
business, remittance and from agriculture activities etc. In the project area, income from
agriculture is too limited due to small holding and arani (rain fed) area. There is limited
opportunity to get jobs in Khewra mines, Gharibwal cement factory and Maple cement factory
providing limited jobs to the local people. In this situation, the jobs for the female part of the
community are rare.
During the field survey and meetings with female community organizations, following questions
were incorporated to assess the income source, females right to use their salary/income in the
house and level of satisfaction with salary/wage etc.
Are you involved in Income generating activities?

What is opinion of male about the job of female, whether they like and encourage the
female in jobs?
Are women allowed to work outside home? What are the main constraints for women in
accessing economic opportunities?
12
NESPAK-ICS JV
Do you satisfied with the private wage/salary?

Did you allow saving your salary/income independently in a separate bank account?
In which area, the female employees spend their salaries or earnings on?
What are the key potentials in the area for increasing womens participation in economic
activities?
Data was collected from 152 female respondents of 10 female community organizations in the
project area. Only 3% of the respondents are serving in health and education institutions. Most
of them are employees of private schools. Some are earning from embroidery. The salary of
government females employees are credited in the bank account and the females withdraw
their salaries to spend on education, kitchen and bills etc. They are getting low wages and
cannot afford heavy expenses like construction of house and marriage of their offspring. They
have to obtain loan from the relatives to fulfil these requirements.
In a question, are women allowed to work outside home town? They responded NO. They avoid
sending their females, especially young females for work outside home town.
Data was also collected regarding potential area for increasing womens participation in
economic activities. During the discussion with female respondents, following key area was
identified for increasing womens participation:
o
o
o
o
o
o
Agro-based activities like ruminant (goat & sheep), grain processing, kitchen garden,
In education sector ( government and private),
In health sector, public and private sector,
Females jobs in local factories,
Establishment of various vocational centres to provide training i.e. dyeing, packing,
sewing and stitching etc,
Dairy sector, processing and packing milk products.
The females were interested to take part in the above mentioned area to enhance their skill
and participation.
4.13. Gender Preference

Gender preference refers to the gap indicated by the differential preference between male and
female in any field of life. Data was collected regarding attitude of the husband/in-laws family in
case of more girl in family. The result indicated positive attitude of the husband or in-laws. They
expressed their views with reference to the religion and awareness in the peoples that they
never felt any problem due to more girls in their family. Some of them added that they love to
their daughters with the views; 1) daughter is blessing ( Rehmat) of God, 2) Girls do more care
of their aged parents and 3) having a girl or boy is not in their control.
4.14. Women Participation in Local Forum
The Initial Poverty & Social Assessment (IPSA) survey of the project area conducted in October
2014 showed that sex ratio of the area is 100:111. It clearly indicated that females are more
than males. To ascertain the existing situation regarding women engagement, participation and
involvement, following five questions were included in the question:
13
NESPAK-ICS JV
What kind of local forums (formal, informal) exist in the area where women can
participate?
Are there any cultural norms and social constraints refraining women to participate in the
local forums?
What are the key potentials for engaging women in the local networks for development
e.g. in water user associations/groups?
Do women participate in training programs offered by development partners
(NGOs/NRSP/CSOs)? What kind of training programs has been imparted?
Would women farmers be willing to participate in the farmers capacity building program?
If no, what are the constraints/challenges?
During the field investigation, open ended qualitative responses were recorded, which are
explained herein:
o
o
o
90 % of the CO groups responded that NRSP forum exists in the area, where females
are participating in their activities. The NRSP is a formal organization to deliver different
type of services for the community, particular for the poorer. The 100 % respondents
told that there were no any cultural norms and constraints refraining their participation in
the local forum. Because, NRSP is working in the project area since 2001. Through
social mobilization, rapport has been developed and the local females trust NRSP.
Another NGO named Akhuwwat (currently established office in Pind Dadan Khan) is
also working in area, but the field network of Akhuwwat is smaller than NRSP. Only 10
% respondents knew about it.
In a question, regarding women participation in water user association in future, 100%
respondents showed their inability to participate in water user association because lack
of information and experience. If there will be any training program for farmers capacity
building, they agreed to participate at local level.
All the respondents participated in various training programs initiated by the NRSP from
time to time:
a.
Book binding
b.
Dopatta rangai ( dyeing)
c.

4.15. Vulnerabilities(Elderly, Disabled, Widows and Minorities)

In under developed and developing countries, no organized system prevails to look after, care
and support vulnerable peoples. Majority of the cases, they live in miserable condition. In case
of a poor family, the situation becomes worst.
To observe the situation, following two questions were put in the questionnaire;
What are the key vulnerabilities for women in the area?

What kind of social protection mechanisms/programs for the vulnerable women?
14
NESPAK-ICS JV
During meetings with female groups, it was learnt that about 10-15 elderly vulnerable are
present in each studied village. Disabled from polio and paralyzed cases were on average 4 in
each studied village, while about 20-25 women were reported as widow. Only few women of
minorities lived in each village.
Regarding their care, look after and social protection, 100 % respondents answered that no
formal mechanism and facility exists in the area for their caring. Traditionally their family is
responsible to look after and care of vulnerable. NRSP provides crutches (besakhi) to some
disabled person, otherwise there is no institutional support for these vulnerable groups.
4.16.Gender Violence
Data collected shows very heartening result. All the respondents reported zero occurrences of
violence incidents. The main reason is level of awareness in the community and gender
violence is not recognised as act of boldness, rather it is regarded as shameful. No
complaint/case was reported to any NGO or police station.
4.17. Project Benefits for Women
The project aims to strengthen community participation through provision of Private Agriculture
Support Services. All these measures will help reducing the poverty in the area and boost the
economy at local as well as national-scale. The benefits to farmers will also be reached to nonfarming community including females as well. All the agricultural activities have direct and
indirect effect and impacts on other segment of the society.
It is anticipated that women would be benefitted to a great extent from the project. To assess
benefits to women, following questions were placed in the questionnaire:
What do you suggest protective measures regarding the project implementation?
How womens participation could be ensured in the project implementation? How

project interventions will benefit women?
What are the key recommendations for maximizing project benefits for women?
What kind of negative impacts do this project has on women?
What are the pressing needs of women of the Project Area (Recorded by them)?
The female respondents suggested protective measures that during the project implementation,
their mobility should not be restricted. They should be allowed to go in their field without any
hesitation. Risk of safety, security and privacy will be increased due to outsiders working in the
area during construction of the project.
Most of the women suggested that some ponds along the channels near the villages should be
constructed for washing clothes and crockery, bathing their children as well as for other similar
activities.
As far as pressing needs of the women of the project area are listed as under:
15
NESPAK-ICS JV
Educational facility: Primary schools exist in the village that does not meet the
requirement of the advance education system. There is need to establish more schools
with regard to population size. Moreover, the primary schools should be upgraded to high
school and college, so that the maximum children could go to school and college.
Health Facility: Sufficient and good medical facilities are not available in the project area.
The females highlighted their concerns that they never get reasonable treatment from the
existing basic health unit. No proper medical equipment is provided to the health
institutions. They reported that there is serious issue of non-availability of a qualified
gynaecologist in the existing basic health units. Most of the cases are referred to
Sargodha, Lahore and Rawal Pindi causing many natal complications as well as heavy
financial burden.
Vocational Training Centres: As it is mentioned earlier that there are few training centres
existing in the project area, which are not enough to provide training and skill to the youth.
Keeping in view the training needs of the community, vocational institutions should be
established at Union Council level for easy access of the female community.
Portable Drinking Water: The project area fall in brackish zone. The underground water is
not fit for drinking. A numbers of water supply schemes are installed by the public and
private sector. But the supply is very short and the females find it hard to accomplish their
duties related to kitchen and washing cloths. They demanded more supply schemes in the
area.
Sanitation/Drainage System: In most of the villages, proper drainage system was not
constructed. In rainy season, the rain water and drains mix up and water stands in the
house and streets causing many environmental problem which lead to different diseases.
They proposed to develop drainage system in the area.
Supply of Gas: In the project area, there was lack of trees and fuel wood. People have to
buy fuel wood from the market, which is costly and unaffordable for the poor families. The
female respondents showed their willingness that natural gas should be available in the
area or bio gas plants should be installed and training shall be provided to the desired
households on subsidy basis.
4.18. Kind of Development Support by Other Development Partner

As discussed earlier, two NGOs, National Rural Support Program (NRSP) and Akhuwwat
are working in the Project Area. NRSP is well established and is working all over the
project area, whereas Akhuwwat is present only in limited part of the project area. For this
purpose, activities of NRSP are described hereunder.
NRSP has started many beneficial programs for males and females to improve their socioeconomic condition and to reduce poverty. For this purpose, NRSP has established its
area office in Pind Dadan Khan and launched many programs. Many groups consisting 20
to 25 female members were formed. Trainings were provided in different fields and
provided micro credit facility to start different activities. The credit is being utilized to keep
16
NESPAK-ICS JV
small livestock (goats and sheep etc.) and poultry. The loan is also used for other small
businesses like shop, sewing machine, stitching and embroidery.
The information collected from NRSP office Pind Dadan Khan indicates a very inspiring
situation that overall 1162 Community Organizations (Cos) were formed. Out of this, 790
are females and 372 male. The total female members of 790 COs are 14024 and male
members of 372 COs are 7097. The program encourages women to participate in the
schemes to generate more income to enhance their empowerment in the society. The data
also indicates that NRSP encouraged females than males. There are 42 Village
Organizations (VOs) in the project area organized by the NRSP to carry out development
activities like water supply scheme, road/street pavement, education, tree plantation and
other as per requirement. A Community Investment Fund (CIF) is created by the village
members to deposit a fixed amount after a specific time to utilize for different welfare
activities. For the purpose, training is provided by the NRSP. In the area, three Local
Support Organizations (LSOs) are also formed at Union Council level to launch different
development activities to generate income and to reduce poverty.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GENDER DEVELOPMENT
It is believed that goal of poverty reduction cannot be fully achieved without increased
investments in women and greater attention to their needs and concerns. Investing in health
and education of females not only results in positive returns to women, but return to the society
is even larger and last for generations.
A number of questions were added in the questionnaire to collect the data and information to
ascertain the existing condition of the females and their role in development activities. During
the survey, the following data was gathered to report on gender development plan.
Education (expanding enrolment of girls in schools),

Health institutions,
Economic participation,
Power sharing and decision making,
Gender violence,
Gender disparity,
NGO exists in the area for female development,
Women consultation and opinion about the proposed project,
Social, cultural and gender problems, and
Forum established in the project area for gender development.
Based on the field survey, data collection and consultation with a large number of females of the
project area, development and improvement is required in the following sectors for gender
development.
18
NESPAK-ICS JV
5.1. Education
There is need to establish more schools in relation to population size and number of the
children. Moreover, the primary schools need upgrade to high school and college. It is
required that middle and high schools of female should be established at Union Council
level to provide an opportunity to all girls of school going age. There should a special
incentive for the poorer to attract them to send their children to the educational institutions.
The girls, who are at present engaged in some earning activities, should be persuaded to
attend educational institutes.
During the survey, it was also observed that at present, there was a growing trend to
educate their girls and in the near future need for college and university will rise. A
mobilization is also proposed to motivate and convince the parents to send their girls to
colleges / universities after completing elementary education.
5.2. Health Facility

Data indicated that sufficient and better medical facilities were not available in the project
area. The females highlighted their concerns that they never get reasonable treatment
from the existing basic health units. Even no proper medical equipment was available in
the health centres. They reported that there was serious issue of non-availability of a
qualified child specialist and gynaecologist in the existing basic health units. For
gynaecological cases, most are referred to Sargodha, Lahore and Rawal Pindi causing
many complications and heavy financial burden. The general appearance of health of the
females did not look better mainly due to malnutrition and poverty.
5.3. Vocational Training Centres
As it is mentioned earlier that there are few training centres in the project area which are
not enough to provide training and skill. There is an need to develop more vocational
training centres in the area.
5.4. Gender Equitable Property & Resource Ownership

Civil and religious law permits women rights over their property and resource. But most the
women are deprived from their ownership status. For the gender development, women
should be allowed to utilize their property and other resources, when and where required.
5.5. Greater Gender Equality in the Political Sphere
The women are can play a pivotal role in the country development through their
involvement and contribution in political and government affairs. In the project area,
women political participation is negligible and they are kept away from this field.
It is recommended that women participation in local and national level politics should be
encouraged so that they can utilize their capability for development of the area.
19
NESPAK-ICS JV
5.6. Credit Facility to Women
The commercial banks prefer to provide credit and loan to males. The males obtain loan
and spend according to their own will and wish. Even they dont bother to consult with
females about the loan and its purpose. In the project area, NRSP at large scale and
Akhuwwat at limited level provide loans to the females. No other commercial banks do
provide loan to the females for small business.
It is proposed that after training or skill, the other commercial banks should provide loan at
minimum interest rate to the women to run their business in more comfortable
environment.
6.
PROJECT SPECIFIC GENDER DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Following sector are envisaged, where there is potential for women development:
i.
Womens participation at planning and design stage of the project shall be ensured.
ii.
Social infrastructures, such as drinking water facilities, washing points, foot bridges
to cross torrent and proposed canal/distributaries, livestock ghats in the project area
should be planned in consultation with women resource user groups. It will help to
develop sense of ownership and their role in development.
iii.
Reflect womens preference for particular tree species to be used for fuel in the
project area. It will help them to reduce budgetary burden spend on fuel.
iv.
Ensure participation of women in affected persons committee. The information on

payments of compensation shall be available to women and affected women be
encouraged to open their own account
v.
During the construction phase of the project, the contractor may be asked to employ
for certain number of females for the jobs suitable for them. A proper check and
balance system to observe that women are paid proper salary and wage according
to their services be established. Their participation in development process may be
ensured through a designated female coordinator.
vi.
NRSP has organised more than 790 female community organizations. The total
members of these Cos are 14024. NRSP have provided different type of trainings to
these members. It is proposed that an annual gathering of females should be
organised in a common and accessible venue to share their knowledge and display
of successful story to convince other females.
vii.
Livelihood skills of the women shall be enhanced by mobilizing the gender specialist
and conducting trainings in the area.
viii.
Reserve seats for woman at KP level may allocated in order to ensure the effective
participation of women in decision making process.
