Executive Summary

This document represents the efforts made by the PIDS – “Participatory Integrated Development Society”, a community development organization in facilitating the rural and semi urban communities of Balochistan on participatory approach.

PIDS emerged from the BRUWAS Project, which was funded by the Netherlands Government and Government of Balochistan along with a supplementary support of UNICEF. The fundamental aim of establishing PIDS is to carry on the efforts made under BRUWAS project to improve health and living conditions of rural population and contribute towards the community development processes in Balochistan, in the sector of provision and promotion of safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene education with active community involvement.

Recently PIDS has started addressing the education sector. The results of the intervention are very encouraging and PIDS is planning to enhance its scope of work in the sector of prime importance.

In July 1999 at the time of winding up of the BRUWAS Project, the donors as well as Government of Balochistan (LGRDD) made a great contribution in the establishment of PIDS by having agreement on the transfer of limited number of assets along with a six months financial assistance as seed money.

In the year of 2000 UNICEF, Royal Netherlands Embassy, and Public Health Engineering Department assisted PIDS for its proposed projects and Government of Balochistan in the sector of water supply under Poverty Alleviation Programme, Catholic Relief Services, and UNICEF for Drought Relief activities.

In 2001 UNICEF, Royal Netherlands Embassy, Insaf Welfare Trust, and Government of Balochistan assisted PIDS for the implementation of projects in the sector of water, sanitation and hygiene education.

In 2001 PIDS also signed a contract with NGO Resource Center Karachi (a project of Agha Khan Foundation) for organizational development process. NGO RC Karachi conducted four workshops with PIDS staff and Members of Board of Governors for the preparation of strategic plan and capacity building of the organizational staff.

Strengthening of its human resources has always been a priority of PIDS. In 2001 PIDS staff participated in the different training programme organized by different organizations, within as well as out-side the country.

PIDS also played its due role towards the human assistance relief activities for the Afghan Refugees living in the camps near Panjpai with the assistance of UNHCR, UNICEF, Islamic Relief UK and other donor agencies.

In 2001 PIDS established linkages with the NGOs and donors in and outside the Province for the promotion of the programme and future sustainability of the organization.

The project was started in April 2001 and ended in October 2001 with boring, installation and energizing of the tube wells. Apart from the drinking water source, tube wells also helped in the economic uplift of the people of the area as the arid land is now being developed and is under cultivation in result of the availability of water from the tube wells for irrigation purpose.

The beneficiaries are very happy, as the tube well reduced the burden of female for fetching water from a long distance, and people are coming back to their village for settlement and development of lands for agriculture purpose. After successful experience two new borings, which were done privately, started functioning in the area.

Apart form the funding agencies PIDS also coordinated its activities with the following agencies.

Ø Collaboration with GoB, LGRDD

Ø UNDP-Area Development Program

Ø UNDP-District Trail Management Project

Ø PIDS also coordinated activities with SEHER (NGO)

3.1.1. Collaboration with GoB, LGRDD

Currently working

PIDS staff was with the BRUWAS project that has good working relationship with the GoB, LGRDD. The same relationship was replicated in the newly established NGO.

LGRDD extended full support during the reporting period and to ensure regular collaboration a joint MOU has executed and signed by both the parties and circulated to all concerned. The copy of the MPU is placed at Annex “E”

3.1.2. UNDP-Area Development Programme

PIDS with its fundamental policy to work in coordination with all development partners has established a good working relationship with an effective program of UNDP namely Area Development Program. The management of UNDP played an important role by highlighting the felt need of their target community and made arrangements for linkage between community and PIDS.

In response to community demand for water and sanitation facilities through UNDP, the management of PIDS decided to facilitate the targeted communities of Khuzdar and Kalat districts on self helps basis. PIDS in close coordination with UNDP Area Development Program has been able to complete 11 water supply facilities and household latrine. The community was found very cooperative and organized. The community full-filled all of their responsibilities well in time resulting in timely completion of the schemes.

3.1.3. UNDP-Trial District Management Project

Trial District Management project of UNDP is working for development through good governance at District and Union Council level. One of the remote and undeveloped Union Council of Loralai District is the target area of UNDP Trial District Management project. On the basis of demand by the community through UNDP-Trial District Management project PIDS extended full cooperation to the scattered and needy community of Maikhtar. In the beginning PIDS implementation team faced difficulty due to the non-availability of complete construction material in time but this problem was rectified with the input of UNDP staff. It is worthwhile to mention that UNDP staff at Loralai and at Provincial level has been very supportive for making linkage between community and PIDS. Apart from this in few cases UNDP also made arrangements for the mobilization of PIDS staff enabling PIDS with timely completion of activity. This act of UNDP is highly appreciated and it is hoped that in the future such a coordinated efforts for development will be flourished manifolds.

PIDS has the honour to place the very first water supply and sanitation facility, which was completed in coordination with SEHER. Community was found very positive regarding timely fulfillment of their responsibilities.

4. Lesson Learnt

4.1. Community Involvement

As mentioned the hand pumps and latrines were provided before start of PIDS, but community involvement was not addressed as required, so PIDS was established to ensure proper community involvement.

The contribution for construction, proper hygiene education and to create sense of ownership we proudly announce that PIDS has achieved the desired targets and created the sense of ownership and awareness among the male and female community members to contribute for construction and participation in hygiene education. The methodology of specified meetings and structured activities definitely works, because PIDS involve major part of community, inform them about the packages, consult on their needs, preferences given to their segmentation, and their own situation really creating sense of ownership.

Only installation of facility and distribution of hardware is not a difficult job, but to ensure the community participation, women involvement, hygiene education, and sustainability to create sense of ownership is the difficult job. It requires resources in terms of mobilization of field staff, attractive printed materials for the communities and trained dedicated field staff including female to conduct the series of meetings with the community, which is expensive and time consuming. In the absence of resources needed the quality of work and physical progress will defiantly slow down. To tackle with the problem for achieving desired targets PIDS is providing staff with transportation.

4.2. Women Involvement

As mentioned earlier women are the fundamental users of the facilities so hiring and deployment of female staff at Provincial, District and Village level received special attention from PIDS. Therefore, we are announcing that we trained many female even at District level and now trained female staff is available in the sector for water, sanitation & hygiene education.

This will be injustice if we do not mention the commendable contribution of the female staff of PIDS towards the involvement of female community members in the programme because in the beginning it was difficult to get the permission of family elders to allow female to participate in the female meetings and now they are not only participating but also taking care of facility and also taking active part in site selection and trainings.

4.3. Quality of work

Due to the proper involvement of community including female the quality of work atomically improved because every head of the family is now contributing for the facility.

5. Human Resource Development

5.1. Human Resource Policy

PIDS Human Resource policy is transparent and based on the non-discriminatory approach. Merit is the base for all type of recruitment in the organization. Preference is given to those candidates who have an exposure to work with the community. PIDS believes and practices participatory integrated approach in its working and people with such background are more valuable for the organization.

5.2. Skill development and capacity building

Human resource is another important issue, which is specially focused by the organization. PIDS extends facility to its employees to participate in various trainings, workshops and seminars.
