ii NRSP 26th Annual Progress Report 2019-2020

Foreword
I am pleased to present NRSP’s 26th annual
report for the year 2019-20. This was again
another year of NRSP’s struggle towards rural
development, community driven development,
poverty alleviation, outreach and access to
services for poor and neglected people.
This year COVID-19 was a great challenge
for Pakistan, just like the entire world. The
entire NRSP’s Programmes made an immense
effort to combat COVID-19. Focus of Social
Mobilization diverted towards spreading
awareness raising among communities on
COVID-19 through Community Resource
Persons. This drive was carried out in 934
Union Councils of Pakistan which helped
spread the COVID-19 precautionary messages
among over 5 million people. NRSP remained
in coordination with and supported National
Command and Operation Center (NCOC).
Though frequency of new projects has decline
but still NRSP is making efforts to continue
programmes and retain staff as much as possible.
During the year 76,548 households were
organized; which aggregated to so far
organization of 3,622,679 million rural
households nationwide into 230,671 COs. Easy
and continuous access to micro credit in the
form of CIF is being given to rural communities.
LSOs are now managing PKR 1,008.97 million as
credit revolving CIF and using it to provide small
loans to their members. New credit lines were
established which helped NRSP disburse PKR
34.7 billion as microcredit during the year. EU
funded SUCCESS and BRACE Programmes are
under implementation in 5 districts (4 in Sindh
and one in Balochistan) which are to benefit
8,562 poor HHs for income enhancement.
Our valued work with local and provincial
governments is continued through initiatives
such as the GLLSP, SPPAP and TADP Projects.
5 years long partnership with Government of
Punjab under PKR 9 billion E-Credit initiative
is being implemented successfully, which is to
benefit 150,000 small farmers in Punjab for
access to micro credit. Green Climate Fund
(GCF) is emerging to be another big funding
agency for NRSP, which is to focus on initiation
of climate change mitigation and adaptation
projects for Pakistan. NRSP has started working
on pipelines to access GCF funding. Over the
year, 25 new projects with the financial and
technical support of national and international
organizations have been initiated. IT department
of NRSP has been playing an important role
for automating the operations and making
the systems more efficient and reliable. NRSP
Microfinance Bank maintained its upward
progress and expansion of financial services
to poor farmers in new areas of Punjab and
Sindh. The IRM continued its operation as an
autonomous specialized training institution.
Being a subsidiary of NRSP it maintained its
focus on capacity building of poor communities.
Agriculture Processing Company is another
subsidiary organization of NRSP registered
under section 42 of the companies’ ordinance.
The idea is to provide warehousing, supply chain,
value chain and income enhancement facilities to
small rice farmers in Hafizabad, Punjab. Unit has
started its operations.
NRSP is grateful to EU, PPAF, IFAD, Govt.
of Pakistan, Ministry of Climate Change, UN
Agencies and WaterAid etc for initiating various
projects that supported community members
across the country, particularly in the neglected
regions for their endeavors to combat poverty.
I am grateful to the Chairman and NRSP
Board for continuous guidance and support,
which played pivotal role in NRSP’s growth and
successful implementation of the programme.
Entire NRSP team including who work directly
with the local communities and during this
difficult time of COVID-19; deserve my
heartfelt gratitude for their dedication and
belief in what they are doing. Success of the
programme would not have been possible
without continued support of community
activists, particularly women members who have
worked tirelessly. I owe them special thanks and
I am confident that we will continue our efforts
with same zeal and passion in the coming years.

 Social Mobilization
and Livelihoods
3,622,679 households mobilized across Pakistan

NRSP 26th Annual Progress Report 2019-2020

The RSPs Social Mobilization and
Organization process involves all the poor
households in grassroots level planning
and implementation of community
driven interventions. This is aided by the
nurturing and training of community
activists, managers and leaders. The
model ensures community participation,
ownership for development, capacity
building and women empowerment.
It builds linkages between the rural
communities and relevant government
and non-government organizations,
allowing them improved access to public
services and local markets. The outcome
of this process is inclusive sustainable
development practices, creating a long-
term impact on the poor households.
Synopsis of the year
During the year 2019-20, NRSP was able
to organize 76,548 households taking
the total membership of COs to 3.6
million. Among these total members,
59% members are women. Total number
of VOs stand at 9,781 and LSOs at
862 by the end of June 2020. NRSP
trained Community Resource Persons
(CRPs) serve as the main channel for
disseminating useful information as well
as mobilizing community members.
Furthermore, the number of trained and
registered CRPs stands at 8,725 (72% are
female).
Combatting COVID-19
NRSP believes that responding to
COVID-19 situation will cover the phases
including (i) prevention of spread of
COVID-19, (ii) relief support and (iii)
recovery and rehabilitation. As regards to
prevention of spread of COVID-19, the
WHO has recognized social distancing
as the most effective method. Following
this requirement, the NRSP has for the
using this technology. The NRSP’s Social
Organizers have established a system
of contacting these activists/CRPs
on a daily basis and pass on approved
messages/printed handouts or banners.
They in turn coordinate with local/
district government and the people
through phone calls, announcements
using loudspeakers or megaphones and
other local ways of communication.
As soon as the government announced
the completion of this phase of
prevention and relief, the CIs meetings
will be organized to engage people in
the recovery and rehabilitation process
for which various interventions are
already available i.e. vocational and
technical skills, microfinance, community
investment fund, income generating
grants and community physical
infrastructures.
Social Mobilization for
improvement in the
Livelihoods
Over the last 28 years’ experience of
organizing rural households, NRSP
has learned that the objective of
ensuring active participation of the poor
households can be best achieved by
taking livelihood related interventions
as an entry point. It is so because the
poverty is at household level. Each poor
household has some potential which can
be harnessed through a tried and tested
social mobilization process coupled
with a livelihood protection and support
package. NRSP’s livelihood package
comprises Income Generating Grants
to the destitute, transfer of productive

from the health and life hazards.
Major Social Mobilization and
Livelihoods Support Projects

these projects, NRSP is working as a
Partner Organization (PO) of PPAF for
NPGP, LACIP and PPR while in case of
IFAD funded SPPAP and GLLSP, NRSP is
the implementing partner for PMUs setup
under the provincial P&D departments,
and for EU funded SUCCESS and
BRACE, NRSP is a direct implementing
partner.
The SUCCESS and BRACE on one
hand aim at improving living conditions
of the targeted communities through
a community driven development
approach, on the other hand they also aim
at supporting the respective Provincial
Governments to recognize the CDD in the
provincial poverty reduction strategy and
annual development plans. This strategic
intervention will help evolve a system of
sustaining the community institutions and
enabling the government departments
to utilize the forum of CIs in all their
programmes to reach out the masses.
Social Mobilization and WISE
Programme
Water, Immunization, Sanitation and
Education (WISE) programme is a
strategic initiative by NRSP to address the
persistent issues of unsafe drinking water,
low immunization statistics for infants and
pregnant mothers, sanitation and hygiene
related issues and low enrollment of
children in schools. WISE is implemented
in partnership with matured LSOs and
their CRPs. So far, 132 LSOs in 157
Union Councils across Pakistan have been
engaged for planning and execution of this
programme; including active engagement
of 1,674 subject specific CRPs. This
initiative is helping in improvement of
SDGs 3, 4 and 6 in targeted areas; i.e.,
49% HHs are now accessing safe water for
drinking against 15% before the project,

88% of the children stand immunized

and community institutions played a very
active role during the COVID-19 pandemic
regarding community education, tracing
and testing in addition to registration of
poor communities with the government
support programmes, distribution of
PPE among the communities. 190,724
community members have also been
educated/made aware on COVID-19.
Mass awareness for dissemination of
COVID-19 related information was done
through mega phones/loud speakers in
mosques and public areas and also through
print and electronic media using posters
and local cable networks.
Social Mobilization and
Community Investment Fund
Realizing the importance of CIF as
a strong instrument for engaging
communities in financial management and
creating a capital base at the local level,
NRSP has strived hard to mobilize donor
sources for providing a CIF grant to the
CIs especially the LSOs. Of the total
CIF funds mobilized by NRSP, the share
of EU programmes is PKR 580 million,
followed by PPAF with PKR 288 million
and NRSP/RSPN and other donors as
PKR 241 million. CIF has helped engage
community institutions in 442 Union
Councils. The households requiring CIF
loans have to apply for their loans through
their COs. The COs use the platform
of VOs to communicate with the LSO
managing the CIF (in some cases VOs
are the prime CIF managers). As of June
2020, 17,734 Community Organizations
and 123,351 households benefited from
this programme.
Case Study: Spreading the
Voice to stay safe from
COVID-19
Shagufta Shaheen, is one of the
outstanding CRPs trained by the NRSP
to undertake specific tasks e.g. spreading
messages to other communities. She
belongs to LSO Chirah and was part
of a training conducted by ICT health
Shagufta Shaheen handing out IEC materials to raise awareness against
COVID-19
department officials on COVID-19. LSO
Chirah comprises of 245 COs, 13 VOs
and 4,330 organised households. After
the training, Shagufta started visiting rural
households in the community, going door-
to-door to iterate the proper precautions
needed to combat COVID-19. Speaking
about her work Shagufta said, “I have
given this training to numerous houses in my
community by going door-to-door. I try to visit at
least 4 households daily, while keeping my own
precautionary measures in place such as wearing
a mask, washing my hands and keeping a 6 feet
distance”. Under this initiative, the CRPs
are also working with mosques to ensure
social distancing. About the trained male
CRPs, Shagufta said, “They make regular
announcements in mosques and also disinfect
them every week. We have also provided the
mosques with soap, sanitisers and masks, drawn
proper lines and circles in the mosques to ensure
social distancing especially during the holy month
of Ramzan.” When asked about people’s
reactions, she explained, “Communities
have been very receptive to our messages. We
have explained to them that the only cure is
prevention.” She adds, “People are taking
these precautions very seriously especially when it
comes to the elderly in their houses. The primary
challenge that remains now, is that we continue to
protect ourselves. Thankfully, we have no suspected
cases yet”.
Future Plans
Increased participation of women and
strengthening the community institutions
will be the main focus of organization next
year.

4 NRSP 26th Annual Progress Report 2019-2020

2019-20 happened to be a very tough year
for the entire world due to this Pandemic.
Pakistan was already facing an economic
crisis and COVID worsened the situation
in the country in March 2020. It is very
difficult for a country like Pakistan to
survive this crisis, where almost 70% of
the population is rural, 35% are illiterate
and large number of people are under
the poverty line. Following the WHO’s
guidelines of social distancing; mass
awareness raising and smart lock-downs
by the Government of Pakistan and
civil society organizations were carried
out, which worked well. In all previous
disasters including floods, earthquakes,
IDPs crisis social mobilization played a
very significant role where community
institutions worked closely with NRSP
for damage assessments, identification
of beneficiaries, distribution of relief
goods, assistance in rehabilitation work
and reporting. But this time as the social
distancing has to be observed, so meetings
between communities and staff and by
community institutions themselves were
avoided/reduced; so in every programme
area community activists/community
resource persons were engaged in mass
awareness raising campaigns for the public.
Over 28,000 Community Organizations,
3,100 Village Organizations and 630 union
council level LSOs actively took part in
mass awareness raising and supported
NRSP in planning/execution of further
COVID-19 services in the targeted areas.
Mass awareness raising for
public on COVID-19
By June 2020, 8,019 CRPs (59% female)
were trained by Government and
NRSP who further carried out the mass
awareness raising campaigns in 934 union
councils of 133 tehsils and 42 districts in
all four provinces of Pakistan including
Kashmir. NRSP designed the leaflets and
banners with clear and easy to understand
messages on what is corona virus, what
are the symptoms of this diseases, where
to contact in case of symptoms, how to
protect oneself from this virus including
frequently washing hands, following social
distancing, avoiding hand shaking, wearing
face mask in public and all time in case of
flu, avoid touching eyes and nose, proper
way of snitching, properly disposing off
used masks/tissue papers, using well
cooked food etc. Moreover, to increase
personal immunity, messages on taking
good diet/nutrient-food, daily exercise,
good sleep and daily praying/meditation
were also included.
Different means were adopted to carry
out the mass awareness raising campaigns
including displaying banners, distribution
of leaflets, announcements through mobile
speakers and in mosques/churches/
mandirs and organizing small grouped
awareness raising sessions. 24,258 banners
were displayed in local markets, community
centers, outside major infrastructures
including public buildings, places of
worship, crowded roads/streets and
other places. Leaflets were distributed
among 159,602 individuals during door-
to-door and shop-to-shop campaigns,
people passing by on the major local
roads/streets, people coming out of the
mosques after prayers and individuals
participated in awareness raising sessions
carried out by CRPs. For illiterate people,
these messages were read in front of
them during these campaigns, which were
listened by additional people gathered
there. 10,867 announcements using mobile
speakers were also made in targeted
localities by making efforts to cover 100%
areas. These messages were delivered via
motorcycles, vans and walk-in by the CRPs
in different localities and communities.
13,527 announcements were also made
in places of worship where CRPs and
concerned religious representative (molvi
etc) made the announcements. Religious
representatives were asked to make and
carryout these announcements frequently
after prayers or at any other suitable
times during the days; so that message
could be delivered among more and more
people. Over 30,000 small grouped (3 to
9 participants) awareness raising sessions
were also carried out by the CRPs in
community centers, markets and other
places. By June 2020, NRSP was able to
reach out and delivered messages to over 5

of the examples for a significant impact

 and advantage of social mobilization work
NRSP has been doing for last more than
two and half decades. CRPs which have
been working under WISE Programme
of NRSP and other ongoing projects
like EU funded SUCCESS and BRACE
programmes; were paid small monthly
honorarium; as agreed under these projects
but were engaged to rollout COVID
related activities mentioned above.
Social protection supports
As the business/economic activity came
to halt or reduced during the lockdowns,
it started to suffer the poor especially the
daily wagers in urban and peri-urban areas
across the country. A support package
was a desired need for these families, so
that they have sufficient food for their
households during the lockdown periods.
Though Government of Pakistan started
efforts to support this target group in
this difficult time through its Ehsaas
Programme, representatives of community
institutions of NRSP also started
identification of these families in their
localities and supported them through
provision of food items and cash grants.
Over 14,000 families were identified and
supported with cash grants worth PKR
153.2 million, whereas 65,380 families were
supported for access to food and non-food
items (soaps, sanitizers, masks etc) worth
PKR 64.7 million. In most of these cases
financial support was extended by the
local philanthropists and NRSP’s donor
organizations. Moreover, community
activists also supported 144,843 families on
how to access and register for Government
of Pakistan’s Ehsaas Programme.
NRSP also encouraged community
representatives to start making masks at
home to earn some additional income for
their families and make the mask available
in areas where there is a shortage. Over
100,000 masks were made by different
community members, which they used for
their own households and also sold them
into local markets.
Support for doctors in health
facilities
In this difficult time of pandemic and
lockdowns when everyone was being
6 NRSP 26th Annual Progress Report 2019-2020
asked to stay at home and follow the
social distancing and personal protection
guidelines; doctors and paramedics
remained active in government and
private health facilities to treat COVID
virus affectees and other patients; despite
the lack of or insufficient availability
of Personal Protection Equipment
(PPE). In Pakistan, situation of health
system infrastructure, investments,
improvements/up-gradation and check
and balance has not been satisfactory in
the past; this is one of reasons it took
long for Government to respond to
make PPE and other facilities including
sufficient bedding, medicines etc available.
Though it was a small contribution
but community institutions of NRSP
also made efforts to protect doctors/
paramedics and equipped health facilities
as much as possible. Community
institutions identified 129 such health
facilities across the country and equipped
them by providing 5,202 surgical masks,
1,738 sanitizers and 3,560 soaps. Most
of this support was extended by local
philanthropists.
COVID-19 focused Projects
and Programmes
Almost all donor funded projects and
programmes of NRSP faced delays,
freeze of programme executions or
reduced implementation works; caused
by the pandemic. In some cases, donors
like EU, WaterAid and others generously
offered to extend ongoing projects
resources towards combating COVID-19.
By June 2020, 10 COVID-19 focused new
projects were started with the support
of WaterAid, BRSP, PPAF, Unilever,
C4ED, Reckitt Benckiser Pakistan and
Give2Asia in parts of Sindh, AJK,
Punjab and Balochistan. Awareness
raising of people on COVID-19, access
to personal protection equipment, items,
information and messages, availability of
relevant community infrastructures like
hand washing facilities were the major
activities of these projects. 10 additional
projects are currently being designed
with different local and international
donors and expected to start after June,
2020; whereas current donors of NRSP
have also shown interest in diverting
funds towards combating COVID-19.
Importantly, NRSP also adapted according
to the situation and made relevant changes
in implementation of Social Mobilization,
WISE and MF Programmes towards
combating COVID-19.
Information flow and reporting
Community institutions and
representatives remained the major source
of information on different achievements
in terms of combating COVID-19. This
was because during lockdowns, filed work
by the staff members was reduced; though
information was verified by the staff
members time to time by visiting offices
of community institutions and meeting
the concerned community representatives.
Excelled based data recording and
reporting was continued in first few
months but later on excess based MIS was
developed by NRSP, for which online staff
trainings were conducted and reporting
was started from regional/filed offices
to head office on weekly basis. Weekly
bulletin was also issued by NRSP and
achievements are regularly being shared
with different donor agencies, partners of
NRSP, RSPN, Provincial Governments of
Pakistan and NCOC (National Command
and Operation Center, Govt. of Pakistan);
though all information is regularly being
updated on NRSP’s website as well.
Coordination with NCOC
Corona Pandemic has compelled Pakistani
system to come up with a powerful new
institution, the NCOC, without which
country would have found it difficult
to keep itself politically united against
the pandemic. Besides Pakistan Army,
Intelligence Agencies and Provincial
Governments; NRSP was also asked to
support NCOC; having vast outreach of
community institutions in the country.
Government under the guidelines of
NCOC trained NRSP’s volunteers who
further carried out the mass awareness
raising activities and tracking of COVID
cases across the country. NRSP is regularly
reporting the progress with NCOC and
participating in review meetings with
NCOC. NRSP’s volunteers were also given
awards by PM Imran Khan on remarkable
work done by these activists.
NRSP’s operational
management during COVID
As initially the cases were very few, NRSP
kept its offices open and operations
running. NRSP’s administration started
awareness raising and sensitizing its staff
about safety measures through online
sessions and email communications.
Lockdown began on March 23rd in Sindh
and AJK and on March 24th in Punjab,
Balochistan and partially in KP. On March
26th, 2020, as per Government directions,
NRSP management decided to reduce
the number of staff working in NRSP’s
offices; by making staff rosters, office
timings were changed to 10am (open) and
4pm (close); with Friday as work from
home. As per SECP’s guidelines NRSP
offered its MF clients that they may defer
payment of principal amount for up to 12
months or they may submit a request to
reschedule their loan. Delays in execution
of projects were also communicated to
concerned donors. Since the start of
the lockdown, NRSP started frequent
online meetings with staff, regional teams,
donors and partners; which have been
so far very successful in kept reviewing
and running the programme smoothly.
NRSP encouraged its staff to take benefit
from online courses for their professional
development. Women and aged staff
members were recommended to continue
work from home. Virus affected staff
members or their families were asked
to quarantine themselves and remain in
touch with HR department.
Future Plans
NRSP will keep exploring and will remain
in touch with current and other donors
for the initiation of COVID focused
projects across the country. Organization
has started efforts and will explore more
to benefit as much as possible from the
technologies during this pandemic to run
the development programmes smoothly.
NRSP plans to resume the operations
once the situation get ease, keeping in
view the government’s directives.

Case Study: A Frontline

Community Activist in Fight
against COVID-19 Pandemic
Ms. Meher Ul Nissa is a Councilor and
community activist from village Memon
Ki Wasi in Union Council Matiari, district
Matiari. 53 percent households in the
village live below the poverty line. Total
62% children including 71% girls were
out of school in the village. When social
mobilisation of the poorest households
started in the village in 2016, all women
were first reluctant to get organised. Ms.
Meher was the one who agreed to lead
her community.
“Leading from the front I gathered all community
members for organisation even though I was not
sure about the impact of the programme at that
time.” Said Meher, President of Matiari
LSO. When COVID-19 pandemic hit
Pakistan, Ms. Meher was the one who led
her community from the front in fight
against COVID-19 pandemic. “These
past few months have been very challenging
for my community members and me. Almost,
every household lost income because of no work
opportunities and restriction on movement due
to lockdown. To protect my community members
from COVID-19, I along with my colleagues
from my LSO started community awareness
raising sessions with support from the NRSP
which trained me on COVID-19 preventive
measures and relief activities. I visited each and
every household part of our LSO to educate
them on COVID-19 precautionary measures
and provide them relief during such a testing
time.” Said Meher. In April 2020, when
the Government of Sindh constituted
Relief Committees at the UC level
in every district of the province, so,
Ms. Meher was also made part of the
committee of her UC. “I along with my
colleagues from our LSO facilitated registration
Meher distributing COVID-19 awareness brochures
of 700 poor households with the Ehsaas
Emergency Cash Programme, distributed ration
bags to 450 households through support of
the Sindh Government Relief Committee and
community philanthropists, and provided soaps
to 500 households through financial support of
WaterAid and community philanthropists.” Said
Meher. She feels happy while helping and
easing lives of her community members.
Other initiatives carried out by her LSO
include: tree plantation, facilitating 500
people for CNICs, building sewerage
system in her village, installation of 50
hand pumps in her UC and distribution
of sewing machines among SUCCESS
programme TVST beneficiaries
through support of other development
organisation. “Now, when I see change in the
lives of my community members, my motivation
increases for provision of more such support to the
poorest households in the village.” Said Meher.
Future Plans
The GAD section will continue
reviewing and assessing NRSP’s gender
mainstreaming policies and operational
systems to ensure all programmes and
projects are in line with the NRSP’s policy.

which has significant impact and has been
replicated by other MFIs in Pakistan.

Synopsis of the year
Before COVID-19 NRSP was achieving
its targets set for the year 2019-20. It
was estimated that NRSP will post a
growth of 22-24% by the end of year.

June, 2020 was 99.3%.
Supporting MF Clients during
Pandemic
COVID-19 caused economic recessions
and almost halted the business activities
globally and in Pakistan. Being a
responsible organization, having built a
good relationship with the MF clients
and complying with the global practices
and national policies; NRSP took one
step forward and decided to give relief to
its MF clients. To face this difficult time,
NRSP gave three options to its active
clients i.e. (i) Pay the service charges of
loan amount and defer repayment of
principal loan installments amount, (ii)
defer loan installments and reschedule the
payment of services charges and principle
and (iii) Pay the loan as per the previously
set schedule. 99% of the client of NRSP
availed the second option; which helped
them reschedule the payments with a delay
of certain months.

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

 The purpose of the PITD sector of
NRSP is to demonstrate the engagement
of the community in collective planning
and management of public services. The
PITD implements Community Physical
Infrastructure (CPIs) schemes where
the COs/VOs plan, implement and take
care of operation and maintenance of
the completed schemes. This approach
helps optimize the use of local resources
and materials without involving high
technology in design, development and
construction processes. The CPIs are
generally low risk schemes in terms of
environmental hazards and most schemes
in fact improve the environmental
conditions.
Synopsis of the year
In 2019-20, the PITD section initiated
900 new schemes across 810 villages
worth PKR 733 million. Community
members invested PKR 64 million as
community share while the remaining
PKR 669 million was provided by the
donors. 624 schemes were completed in
2019-20, benefiting 32,894 households.
These schemes had a financial outlay
of PKR 471 million and were funded
by EU, PEF, IFAD, Government of
Punjab, WaterAid and NRSP. During
the year, the most significant investment
was made in DWSS and Sanitation
schemes worth PKR 255 million. Overall,
schemes completed includes DWSS,
roads, culverts, lining of watercourses
in canal-irrigated areas, lift irrigation,
water conservation (mini dams, irrigation
ponds), karez extension and rehabilitation
in Balochistan. Table 4 shows types of

During the year, NRSP implemented
157 water supply schemes including
hand pumps, water reservoirs, water
wells and water supply pipelines having
significant impact on the health of rural
households and saving significant time
for women/families who walk a long
distances to collect water from wells,
springs and canals. The cost incurred in
implementing these schemes was PKR
113 million including PKR 3.8 million
contribution from the local communities;
benefitting over 7,000 rural households.

Programme
The project aims to increase agricultural
productivity and incomes in the
agricultural sector through promoting
and disseminating modern practices
in cereal and livestock farming and
horticulture. The International Maize and

focuses on wheat, maize and agronomy
components under AIP throughout
Pakistan. CIMMYT sub granted NRSP
for a research project of Participatory
Varietal Selection (PVS) which involves
on-farm demonstrations, multiplication
and popularization of new high yielding
rust resistant wheat varieties in 31 districts
of Punjab and Sindh. As a result of this
project 471 tons of high yield and rust
resistance wheat seeds were distributed
amongst small farmers. Successfully,
this wheat seed variety was multiplied
on 9,420 acres of strategic land. Several
trials were also carried out including seed
priming trials, zero tillage, ridge planting,
mother trials and nutrient management
trials. Moreover, farmers were also
engaged in exposure visits to various on-
farm research and demonstrations. 9,487
farmers were trained on various aspects

Increasing climate resilience
NRSP implemented a World Bank
supported project in Mirpurkhas (Sindh)
whose focus was to develop climate smart
agriculture plans to address productivity
and food security issues faced by the local
communities due to change in climate.
Project was implemented successfully in
selected villages of Mirpurkhas and savings
from the project were further utilized in
additional villages from district Bhakkar,
Rajanpur (Punjab) and Mirpurkhas. NRSP
took the expertise of Climate, Energy
and Water Research Institute (National
Agriculture Research Center) Islamabad
and carried out baseline survey to identify
the productivity enhancement issues faced
by the farmers due to changing climate.
After the extensive baseline exercise which
involved detailed discussions with the local
communities and farmers; constructive
recommendations were made to the
locals which includes adaptation of new
agriculture technologies, discourage flood/
over irrigation practices, demonstration
and sowing of new varieties of crops,
considering time and whether for cropping
practices, cropping practices which can
save water, tree plantation etc. Local
people were also made aware on the
impacts of climate change and how to
address the associated issues and over
300,000 tree saplings were planted. Project
helped small farmers towards adaptation
of climate smart agriculture and will
address the food security issues.
Productivity enhancement
through extension services
This NRSP’s own initiative intended to
fill the gaps of services and information,
which causes low farm productivity. Soil
and underground water tests for over
2,000 farmers were carried out and proper
recommendations were made to the
farmers as per the test results. Besides, new
varieties of wheat and other crops were
introduced and farmers in various villages
of Hafizabad were linked with public
and private agriculture extension service
providers including the microfinance
institutions.

people affected by Oil tanker
blast incident in Bahawalpur
On 25 June 2017, a tanker truck
exploded near Ahmedpur East, Village
Ramzan Joiya in Bahawalpur District,
killing over 150 people and injuring at
least 34 others. The truck overturned
when its driver attempted to make a
sharp turn on the N-5 National Highway.
Once the news of the accident spread
to nearby villages, hundreds of residents
rushed to the scene to loot the truck of
its cargo. The truck then exploded; early
reports suggested the explosion was
caused by someone lighting a cigarette.
Besides financial support extended to
the affectees by the Government of
Pakistan, Shell Pakistan also initiated
and funded a livelihood restoration
project for the affected households and
NRSP was engaged as the implementing
partner for this project.
Government has provided a good
and reasonable financial support
(between PKR 1 to 6 million) for
the affected families, which seems to
be enough for the affected families
to revive their livelihoods. However,

Case Study: Ms. Farzana
responds to COVID-19 and Its
Impacts on her community
Tackling complex emergencies like
novel COVID-19 requires resilient and
hardworking community leadership
particularly in rural areas where access
to information and relief are unavailable
to the poorest and marginalized sections
of the society. Since the spread of novel
COVID-19, women leaders of the
community institutions in rural areas of
Sindh are playing central role in solving
the issues being faced by the people. Here
we cover the story of Ms. Farzana, how
she is responding to the COVID-19 in
her area.
Ms. Farzana is General Secretary of Local
Support Organization at Rawat Laghari,
district Tando Allahyar, Sindh. She was
recently nominated as member of one
of the COVID-19 Relief Committees
constituted at Union Council level in all
districts of the province by Government
of Sindh to facilitate relief activities and
distribution of ration to the needy people
whose means of livelihoods were affected
by the lock down to contain spread of
COVID-19. The lock down had alarmed
her about the vulnerability of food
security of her community because of
the chronic poverty in the area. She never
ever imagined that people will one day
run after survival due to lack of basic
amenities of life. COVID-19 had brought
everything to standstill within a week.
Thanks to the European Union funded
Sindh Union Council and Community
Economic Strengthening Support
(SUCCESS) Programme which organized
her community into three tier structure of
CO, VO and LSO, of which she became
member of the CO in her mohallah and
General Secretary of the LSO. Later on,
she got community management and
leadership skills training to cope with
challenges being faced by her community.
Thus, solving community problems has
become her daily routine and practice.
Talking about her appointment as member
to the COVID-19 Relief Committee
she said “the linkages and collaboration we
developed with the government departments and
local government representatives through the
Joint Development Committee have benefited us
in many ways: ensured participation of women
in development process, provided avenues of
moving forward and contributing to community
development, and representing community in times
like now a days when the community is almost
completely dependent on help from government
and charity organizations. These partnerships
for community driven development in the past
have given me a limelight to represent my Union Farzana, General Secretary at Local Support Organization Rawat Laghari,

NRSP works to enhance the access to
basic education of under privileged youth
and children in rural areas of Pakistan
by participating in various programmes
and projects that recognize community
participation as the main strategy. Main
thematic areas of NRSP’s Education
Progrmame are:
• Facilitating the COs/VOs/LSOs
in their agenda of participation
in education related activities and
increasing enrollment through
effective community participation
• Establishment and Support for
Community Schools, Early Childhood
Education, Non-Formal Education
for children rescued from Child

• Capacity Building of SMCs/SCs,
Teachers and government officials
• Provision of missing facilities in
Government and Private Schools
• Provision of Education in
Emergencies
• Adult Literacy
• Special attention to include girls and
women in education process
Working around these thematic areas,
NRSP is aiming to improve basic
indicators of education. These are
increased enrolment, enhanced capacity
of teachers and government officials,
SMC members and sensitization of
communities to send children, particularly
girls to schools. As of June 2020, NRSP
has enrolled 848,066 children (48% girls),
engaged 553,449 SMC members, 73,886
teachers and government officials have
been trained.
Synopsis of the year
Implementation of all projects and
programme remained suspended due to
COVID 19 after March 2020. However,
during the suspension period, most of
the project teams remained engaged in
educating the communities about COVID
and provided support to communities
through VECs, teachers and CRPs. Funds
flow from various government support
programme also remained a challenge
though the allied schools benefitted with
the support of special funds allocation
by Govt. of Punjab and UNESCO.
Adult literacy was again focused under
the BRACE project while MHM and
school WASH remained main focus of
interventions sponsored by WISE and
WaterAid.
Education Initiatives of NRSP’s
WISE Programme
Access to basic education is fundamental
right of each child and NRSP is making
efforts under WISE to make this a
reality by convincing parents to enroll
their children and send them to school
regularly. They are also supported in
terms of capacity building of related
school’s infrastructure and teachers.
This is aligned with school education
department efforts as well. SED, local
leadership and parents are engaged in
prioritizing the budget allocations and
activities which facilitate school education
service delivery at local level. LSOs also
try to link up with local philanthropists
and projects to generate support for
school and poor students. Under WISE
Programme, 298,971 HHs have been
made aware on importance of child
education. During this period, 17,627 out
of school children have been enrolled,
119 public schools are supported for
missing facilities, mainly regarding WASH
and furniture and 1,939 children are
provided bags, stationery or uniforms.
Punjab and Sindh Education
Foundations Initiatives
NRSP and Punjab Education Foundation
(PEF) entered into partnership to
establish community schools in 9 districts
of Punjab. Two programmes i.e., New
School Programme (NSP) and Public-
School Support Programme (PSSP)
were funded by PEF. PSSP was later
taken over by independent authority of
Punjab Education Initiative Management
Authority (PEIMA). Schools were
identified by the PEF/PEIMA through
community requests and needs referred
by department of education. New
schools were established under NSP
on the pattern of community school
initially or Public Schools were taken
over for management with the help of
VEC/School Councils under PSSP.
Social Sector Services - Education 33
 Facilities are regularly monitored and
reviewed while capacity of teachers are
also updated to improve the quality of
learning. Missing facilities including
WASH, furniture, class rooms, school
boundary walls are also being made
available and/or rehabilitated. During
the year, 35,251 children benefited under
these programme. 403 Schools benefited
from access to missing facilities. 5,716
teachers were trained under various
disciplines.
NRSP is also conducting a research with
collaboration of Washington University
at St Luis and Lahore School of
Economic for finding reasons to ensure
inclusion of children in every segment
of society for effective learnings in
schools.
NRSP also signed an agreement with
Sindh Education Foundation in April
2017 for a pilot project with Adult
and Adolescent and Adult Learning
and Training Programme with focus
on engaging out of school youth and
adults who could not get education and
provide them economic opportunities
by linking them with services of
vocational trainings, microfinance and
local enterprises. Under this programme,
NRSP has established 6 centers in Tando
Allah Yar and Matiari which facilitated
654 Adolescents (10-17 years) and 335
Adults.

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

359,879 BISP beneficiaries’ families have
been registered so far and will benefit
from the project, with an expected
enrollment of 842,495 children. BISP
Beneficiary Committees (BBCs) are being
formed which are led by Women Learners
(WLs). These community groups are
raising the voice to promote WeT
Programme and are being engaged to
ensure enrollment of children and control
dropout ratios.
Take a Child to School Project
Take a Child to School (TACS) was
started in the year 2015 to improve
primary school retention by mobilizing
young volunteers and communities.
TACS, funded by the British Council in
Pakistan, mainly focuses on enrolling
children aged 5-11 in government
schools and ensuring that they complete
the primary school cycle. Community
volunteers take responsibility for a group
of children and keep regular follow ups
and contact school council or parents in
case of drop out. Current phase of this
project is being implemented in more
than 30 Union Councils of Bahawalpur,
Bahawalnagar, Lodhran, Vehari and
Rajanpur; in which 12,192 students were
enrolled. To attract higher enrollment,
recreational activities including sports,
competitions were also made part of
the project; which proved to be quite
successful.
Case Study: Imam Zadi’s
Dynamic Leadership
and Activism Leads Her
Community to Success
It’s a pleasant windy December day in
village Haji Pir Dino Bejora in Union
Council Bello, district Sujawal. The lush
green rice paddies and cool winds make
the weather nice but the road leading to
village is marshy and difficult to travel
on. The village lacks basic facilities of life
and most of its inhabitants live in chronic
poverty. According to poverty scorecard
census conducted under the EU funded
SUCCESS programme in 2016, overall
56% households in the village live below
the poverty line. Total 69% children
including 75% girls are out of school
in the village. The main reasons behind
these abysmal socioeconomic conditions
are; the reluctance of parents to let their
children particularly daughters leave
home and go to school, lack of access to
quality education, early child marriage,
poor working conditions etc. Gender wise
data shows that women and girls of the
village are the worst affected segments of
the village by poverty and lack of basic
facilities.

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

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

“In 2012, I opened an education center, with

support of Allama Iqbal Open University,
where I taught more than 50 girls. Now, I see
many of them working as Social Organiser
and CRP.” She dreams and work every
day to transform lives of her people to
have a prosperous life without problems

day, I rise to fulfil the aims of the SUCCESS
programme by organising women into community

i.e. CO/VO/LSO/CRPs has been a
significant factor in implementing health
programmes successfully. In partnership
with various organizations, NRSP links
the communities for various health
services. Birth spacing, mother and child
health, immunization, breast feeding,
nutrition, malaria prevention, disability,
general health and oral hygiene etc are
some of major thematic areas for NRSP’s
Health Programme. NRSP’s WISE
programme involves the COs/VOs/
LSOs in increasing access of communities
to safe drinking Water, Immunization,
Sanitation and Education through CRPs
with the back up support of COs/VOs/
LSOs.
So far, more than 12 million community
members have been reached through
awareness sessions on health and hygiene
(includes repeat messages) and 1,976,340
LLINs have been distributed among
the communities for prevention against
Malaria through NRSP and linkages with
other organizations. During the year,
239,198 children and women received
immunization support while more than
5,250 communities participated in efforts
to make their village ODF.
Water Immunization and
Sanitation Initiatives of NRSP’s
WISE Programme
NRSP health programme under WISE is
focused around prevention of diseases
which otherwise can jeopardize family
health by focus on child immunization,
MNCH and also linking with RH
related needs of mothers. Most of these
services are provided by Government
but community have remained unable to
access due to lack of motivation, limited
awareness or poor system support.
NRSP and LSOs ensure proper follow
up with relevant line departments to
get support for these initiatives. During
this period, 317,929 HHs have been
educated regarding immunization which
resulted in improving the overall Penta
3 coverage from 80% to 88% in the
target areas. Drinking water quality is
also addressed as main component of
programme as majority of the diseases

are spread through poor quality of water.
2,651 drinking water sources have also
been tested. We make them conscious
and support in recognizing fit and unfit
sources of water for drinking. Adoption
of proper hygiene practices especially by
mothers and children also remains key
area of our focus.
WASH Initiatives
During the year, NRSP in partnership
with WaterAid implemented 2 major
projects in 5 districts of Punjab
(Faisalabad, Hafizabad, Pakpattan and
Sahiwal) and Sindh (Thatta). Community
led total sanitation, promotion of best
health and hygiene practices, awareness
raising, construction of drinking water
supply schemes and toilets in schools
and at community level etc are the major
activities of these projects. UNICEF also
supported WASH programme in districts
of Gwadar and Lasbela in Balochistan
province.
During the reporting year, 94,822 latrines
were built by the same number of
households via self-help basis whereas
1,174 demo latrines were constructed
under different donor funded projects.
177 hand pumps and 160 sanitation
facilities were also constructed under
various projects. NRSP was also able
to carry out 1,993 water quality tests in
an effort for access to clean and safe
water for rural households. Over 1,000

All the data management, reporting
and analysis comes under the MER’s
jurisdiction. The five monitoring
functions that the MER division can feel
pride of are (a) regular publication of
Monthly Programme Update (b) holding
of programme planning and management
meetings (c) maintenance of a database
for tracking progress of each project
in terms of targets (d) planning and
execution of project and programme
evaluations and researches and (e)
coordinating with all sectors and regions
for the 6 monthly programme managers
conference which is chaired by the CEO.
The MER division develops and
implements the agreed upon monitoring
framework keeping it in line with the
current programme needs. Besides
monitoring, it carries out evaluation and
impact studies internally on a need basis.
It also arranges evaluation and impact
studies by engaging consultants. Research
is also an integral part of MER. It is
primarily done through collaboration
with local and foreign universities,
research institutions and donors. These
researches are also helpful in designing
innovative projects and programme
interventions. MER also supports sectors
and coordinates with donors to carry out
the institutional assessments of the NRSP
to seek accreditations and to be eligible
for development funds. A recent one was
carried out by the Green Climate Fund.
Project Compliance and
Monitoring (PCM)
The PCM unit was established in 2012;
mainly for the purposes of documenting,
measuring and analyzing the progress
and process of all NRSP’s ongoing
projects. The PCM unit issues monthly
project updates highlighting issues and
best practices associated with different
projects being implemented nationwide.
Logs for all the contracts signed by the
NRSP are kept and progress reports for
donor funded projects are compiled and
results are shared with the management.
Recently, the entire project data has
been transferred to a newly developed
MIS by the NRSP-IT; for which reports
have been developed and tested in the
reporting year. Online MER MIS is being
deployed; which will improve the quality
of progress reporting and efficiency
SM Management Information
Systems (SM MIS)
In a fast-paced environment where short
deadlines need to be met while ensuring
highest standards of quality, Social
Mobilization - Management Information
System (SM-MIS) plays a pivotal role.
SM-MIS is a one-stop shop for all the data
related to social mobilization activities. It
provides detailed information about the
outreach and social mobilization status
along with the type of interventions
undertaken with each type of community
institution. This information is used to
design projects and also facilitates with the
identification of required interventions
in any of the programme area of NRSP.
Any changes in the census along with
geographical demarcations are updated
regularly. To ensure accuracy and
authenticity, strict quality control checks
have been placed to warden off faulty data.
Under the SUCCESS, BRACE and NPGP
programmes, MER was able to integrate
the SM-MIS and the PSC data with almost
all the programme interventions e.g. CIF,
community trainings, IGG, CPIs, MHI etc.
SM-MIS data is also being used to conduct

were listed and 1347,643 HHs enumerated
i.e., 95% of the listed HHs and 94% of the
target HHs.
A Research under Sustainable
Climate Finance and its Impacts
NRSP initiated this research project in
collaboration with the Philipps University
Marburg, Germany. The objective is to
evaluate the impact of climate finance
projects in Pakistan. The project team
will carry out investigation of Sindh
Coastal Community Development
Project (SCCDP) which was successfully
implemented by NRSP (2008-2013);
looking for valuable insight into long-term
effects of rural electrification carried out
under the SCCDP. The initial desk review
of the data and field visits to have better
understanding about the situation on
ground was carried out in Jan-Feb 2020
and accordingly the research methodology
and data collection tools were finalized.
Because of Covid-19, the field activities
including survey, FGDs was delayed and
expected to start in the last quarter of
the year 2020. This research will provide
valuable insights about community
managed village level solar power projects
and may provide insights as how solar
energy projects can be further expanded in
the off-grid or weak grid areas of Pakistan.
Survey and researches under
EU funded BRACE and SUCCESS
BRACE is complimented by an
evidence-based learning component.
This component helps the implementing
partners to offer solid inputs for policy
advocacy and improved programming
and promote a joint learning process
among all project stakeholders. NRSP
is facilitating RSPN in conducting the
thematic and sectoral studies/assessments
covering different areas including CIF,
IGGs, support to PWDs, community
savings and internal lending, sustainability
42 NRSP 26th Annual Progress Report 2019-2020
of CPIs, skills trainings etc. As part of
the project a baseline socio-economic
survey-SES was carried out in district
Kech covering 600 HHs. SES will be
repeated at mid-line and end-line to
assess the change in socio-economic
conditions of targeted communities. A
PSC survey was also carried out to assess
the poverty levels of the HHs, this was
to help the project for poverty targeting
and tracking the graduation process of
HHs. An institutional maturity index
survey has also been made part of this
project, whose purpose is to continuously
assess the maturity level of community
institutions being established/revitalized,
so that they are provided guidance.
Currently ongoing participatory action
research is investigating (i) poverty
dynamics in Balochistan, (ii) nexus
between community-led development and
local governance and (iii) Dynamics of
inclusive development. A labor market
assessment was also part of this project,
whose purpose was to identify the
training trades for young women and men
to benefit from skills training component
of this project. Study on impact of CIF
on financial sustainability of community
institutions and IMI survey were two
major research activities done under
SUCCESS besides the project baselines.
Baseline for Punjab Health and
Nutrition Focused Conditional
Cash Transfer
Government of Punjab with the
assistance of the World Bank launched
the Punjab Human Capital Investment
project in Sep 2020, one of the project
component is “Improved Health and
Nutrition at Birth and Early Childhood”
for which a pilot project titled “health
and nutrition focused conditional cash
transfer (CCT)’ was launched in District
Bahawalpur and Muzaffargarh in 2019.
Under this pilot, the CCT was designed
to incentivize pregnant and lactating
mothers to receive regular health check-
ups, skilled birth, growth monitoring and
immunization of children under 2 years
of age, as well as participate in self-help
sessions for better ECD, through regular
and predictable cash transfers within
targeted poor and vulnerable households.
The pilot program was developed jointly
by the PSPA and the Punjab Department
of Health.
For this pilot project, NRSP conducted
the baseline survey with the financial
assistance from the World Bank and
technical assistance from C4ED,
Germany. The survey was conducted
in first two quarters of 2019. For the
baseline, 50 enumerators were engaged,
training manual and android application
were developed for data collection. A
total of 17,726 households were listed
and 10,555 households were interviewed
during the survey. As part of the survey,
3,738 Pregnant and Lactating Women
(PLWs) were identified and 3,222 PLWs
were interviewed. Details findings
of the survey are available at http://

Education Equity and Quality
in Pakistan
NRSP in collaboration with the
Washington University in St Louis,
the Global Research on Inclusion and
Disability Team, Lahore School of
Economics (LSE) Pakistan, University of
Cambridge United Kingdom and Centre
for Evaluation and Development (C4ED)
Germany are implementing a program
of support to inclusive education in rural
schools of Pakistan. The programme aims
at increased access to quality education
for Pakistani children, improved quality
of education and capacitated national
education system. A Randomized control
trial will evaluate this intervention in
selected 130 schools out of which
67 schools are Control and 63 are
intervention schools. Project Intervention

Rahim Yar Khan and Ghotki.
Project EEQAP has achieved most of
the milestone during its course over 3
years and as the project investigators
plan on launching the end line Survey in
November 2020. During the first year of
project, a comprehensive Baseline Survey
was conducted, followed by which first
round of Group Model Building (GMB)
sessions (a specific CBSD method)
were organized to identify insights
about social accountability reforms
with School Management Committees,
Parents, Teachers and Children. During
the second year of the project, VECs
supported by NRSP implemented changes
based on these insights in intervention
schools, inclusive education trainings were
imparted to increase capacity of teachers
and qualitative methods were applied to
validate psychosocial assessments. The
third year will see the implementation
of second round of GMB sessions and
action ideas after which the investigators
will measure the impact of the social
accountability intervention on learning
outcomes using a cluster RCT.

ESM guidelines of NRSP are inspired
by the recently approved ESM of the
World Bank (2017) and builds upon
the same safeguards and has frequently
used terminologies, definitions and
elaborations of the safeguards proposed
by the World Bank. This adaptation
of the World Bank work is thankfully
acknowledged. The ESM is in compliance
with the national and provincial legal
framework as well as international
laws, conventions and treaties to which
Pakistan is a signatory. It also benefits
from best practices of the World Bank
(WB), the Asian Development Bank
(ADB), the International Finance
Corporation (IFC) and the Green Climate
Fund (GCF). NRSP firmly believes in
environmentally and socially responsible
operations by aiming at sustainable
development of the people of Pakistan,
especially in rural areas and protecting
them against any adverse environmental
and/or social impacts accruing from its
seeks guidance. While adequate fiduciary
compliance mechanisms are already
in place, an environmental and social
management system (ESMS) has been put
in place to ensure effective compliance of
environmental and social safeguards, in
particular for the projects and/or schemes
categorized as A, B or C. The ESMC is
primarily responsible for implementation
of ESM Policy and ESMS with the
support from ESM Focal Persons in the

European Union (EU)
EU has been an important partner
of NRSP for over a decade making
NRSP successful in implementing many
development projects. In 2014 NRSP
started receiving direct funding from
the EU for development projects when
a project was initiated in four districts
of AJK. This initiated the process of
supporting inclusive development through
community-Government capacity building
and partnership. This further led to the
initiation of the Sindh Union Council
and Community Economic Strengthening
Support (SUCCESS) Programme and
the Balochistan Rural Development and
Community Empowerment Programme
(BRACE) which are ongoing and worth
PKR 3.5 billion; focusing on Community
Driven Development (CDD) approaches
for development. Projects including
improvement of nutrition in Sindh
through RSPN and skills enhancement in
Punjab and KP through Plan International
and TUSDEC, collectively worth PKR
1.3 billion, are other important projects
implemented by NRSP with indirect
funding of EU.
United States Agency for
International Development
(USAID)
In 2004, NRSP became partner of USAID
for Education Sector Reforms Programme
(PKR 23 million) implemented in 2
districts of Balochistan. Later on, this
partnership extended and until now
NRSP has implemented 14 additional
development projects, with direct or
indirect funding from USAID, worth
PKR 6.3 billion. Improvement in health
and education services (FALAH, SGAFP,
MCH etc), rehabilitation and DRR (Bahal,
Tahafuz), governance (ASP), WASH, small
grants (CIMMYT, SGAFP etc) were some
of the focused areas of these implemented
projects. Small Grants and Ambassador’s
Fund Programme (SGAFP) was an 8 years
initiative in which NRSP managed the
sub-granting to the other development
organizations in different thematic areas
including education, health, renewable
energies, livelihoods improvement,
environment protection, agriculture
development. At the moment, CIMMYT is
the ongoing USAID funded project and is
focusing on providing access to improved
wheat seeds for farmers nationwide.
International Fund for
Agriculture Development (IFAD)
NRSP’s partnership with IFAD was
initiated in 2007 when a PKR 667 million
livelihoods improvement programme was
initiated in 4 districts of Punjab. This 5
years initiative helped small farmers to
access and benefit from better agriculture
and livestock services; which resulted for
improvement in the income and quality
of life. Later on, three major projects
worth PKR 9.4 billion were initiated in
2 districts of Balochistan, 3 districts of
Sindh and 11 districts of Punjab. These
projects (Gwadar Lasbela Livelihood
Support Project-GLLSP, Southern Punjab
Poverty Alleviation Project-SPPAP and
National Poverty Graduation Programme-
NPGP) are ongoing and focusing on
poverty alleviation. All of these projects
were initiated by NRSP through provincial
governments and PPAF.
Pakistan Poverty Alleviation
Fund (PPAF)
PPAF is one of the biggest partners of
NRSP in terms of funding and number
of development projects. So far over 90
development projects worth PKR 20
billion have been implemented nationwide
which benefited thousands of households
in terms of access to services, poverty
alleviation and improvement in the quality
of life of poor. Social mobilization, skills
enhancement, livelihoods improvement,
access to improved health, education,

Virtual Meetings
The Covid-19 situation (February 2020
onward) and the subsequent lockdowns in
different parts of the country hampered
not only the field activities but also it
was not possible for the head office
staff to visit the programme areas. Even
within the regional and central offices,
it was not safe to conduct face to face
meetings. Considering this situation, NRSP
management decided to conduct online
meetings for which digital platforms were
used and a central coordination mechanism
established with the help of IT. This
allowed continuous work even for those
staff members who could not come to
office because either themselves or their
family member(s) tested positive. Regular
meetings were held with the regional
teams as well as sectoral meetings at the
central / regional offices were conducted
using the digital platforms, which allowed
smooth running of the programme. Where
required, virtual meetings were also held
with the community institutions.
