EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF ADPB (UNDP) PHASE-11

BALOCHISTAN:

I received very good direction from Ms. Shamshad Kousar (MAS), Dr.

Muhammad Azam Kakar (L.S), Ms. Ayesha Ayub (C.D. & G. S) and Mr. Dawood

Bareach (NPC), and enjoyed immense support from my colleagues. The confidence

in other sectors also have been a big help, especially Mr. Sajjad Ali, Mr. Mehboob

Khalid, Mr. Fazal Haq. To add to this, I am thankful to all the folks I met daily who

beamed me bright smiles that brightened my day.

This is final report of the Area Development Programme Balochistan (ADPB)

since inception of its second phase in July 2006. The Phase-II of the programme is spread

over four years, ending in June 2010. The period from 1st July to 31 December 2006 was

utilized for formally closing Phase-I of the programme and completing institutional

arrangement for Phase-II, such as preparation and processing of Project Document,

signing of cost-sharing agreement for phase-II between Government of Balochistan

(GoB) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for second phase of ADPB

and another agreement between ADPB and World Food Programme (WFP) and hiring

programme staff. ADPB is a multi-donor programme, funded by the GoB, UNDP, WFP

and the beneficiary communities.

The ADPB is community based area development programme, which has two

major objectives:

a) To reduce poverty in the target areas through livelihoods improvement.

&

b) To develop sustainable development models for replication.

Since livelihoods in the rural areas of Balochistan are mainly dependent upon Livestock,

subsistence agriculture and water and irrigation, hence major development interventions

of ADPB for livelihoods improvement are also in these sectors. As the programme

2

follows participatory development methodology, therefore launch of all interventions are

Proceeded by community mobilization through formation of Community Organizations

(COs), both for male and female beneficiaries. The programme operations are being

implemented in pre-selected Union Councils in nine districts of the province.

The programme interventions were formally launched in May 2006, after a delay of five

months due to certain procedural hiccups.

Community Development was the pioneering intervention and as per our annual work

plan it raised 320 male and female community organizations for mobilizing about 6400

households, with a population of over 40,000 people. Since active participation in

development involve actual initiation of activities by the people, hence right after the

formation of COs, the office bearers and other members were trained on objectives and

rationale of organizing themselves, techniques of participatory development, need

identification and prioritization, and ADPB’s developmental interventions and their

implementation methodologies. By the end of the year we trained over 2000 community

activists. Besides laying sub-structure for implementation of other programme

interventions, the Community Development Sector also arranged training of 206 women

on traditional birth attending services and another 140 women on cutting and sewing

skills.

As mentioned above, the main trust of the programme interventions is focused on

improving productivity of the existing agriculture and livestock sectors in the project

valleys and to scale-up their base, two activities crucial to improve livelihoods in the

rural areas. To this end development interventions in three inter-related sectors of

livestock, water and irrigation and natural resource management were undertaken with

active participation of the beneficiary communities. All major interventions were

undertaken with the communities on cost-sharing basis, ranging from 10 to 30 percent of

the cost of Interventions. In total the communities contributed Rs 5.00 million towards

the development interventions. In livestock sector, interventions were focused on

treatment/vaccination of farm animals, distribution of improved variety poultry birds and

dairy goats among poor rural women, breed improvement, capacity building and

strengthening and improving livestock extension services in the project areas.

2

Major interventions implemented under the water and irrigation sector included

rehabilitation of karaizes & springs, construction of lines water reservoirs and channel,

clean drinking water supply schemes and introduction of high efficiency irrigation

system. In total implementation of 49 schemes undertaken.

Under the natural resource management sector this year were constructions of water

harvesting structures (also called khuskaba bandat) to avail flood/rain water for

agriculture/cropping and installation of green houses for establishing nurseries for

introduction of improved varieties of fruit trees. Against an annual target of 300 acres, IT

constructed water harvesting structures over 430 acres, while five modern green houses

were installed in Loralai, Muslim Bagh and Kalat.

Timely availability of data and its systematic analysis is indispensable for effective

monitoring of programme interventions and to ensure achievement of qualitative and

quantitative targets of the programme.

1.3 How communication takes place:

It sponsors innovative pilot projects, serves as a catalyst for linking global good

practices and resources to the host country; promotes the role of women in development;

provides Poverty policy support, community driven local area development, advocates on

the issue of HIV and AIDS and brings the Government of Pakistan, civil society and

other development partners together for enhanced and coordination of their efforts. It

carries out a host of interventions grouped together under the following three heads:

1.4 Pro- poor policy and advocacy

The pro-poor policy interventions influence government policies through

strengthened accountability frameworks and budgetary allocations in favor of the

disadvantaged groups and advocates for appropriate interventions to achieve the MDGs.

1.5 Community based Area Development Programme

The community based area development initiatives pilots efficient, and cost

effective and integrated rural livelihoods packages and strategies and advocates for up

scaling successful initiatives though cost sharing.

1.6 Gender Equality Programme

In UNDP Pakistan gender equality and women’s empowerment have a prominent

place in poverty reduction, due to the gender disparities present in the society. UNDP is

promoting the development of gender-sensitive policies, planning and monitoring

2

systems, legal frameworks, income and generation through market, skills and credit and

engendered governance.

1.7 Collaborating with Government:

UNDP Pakistan works to improve the living conditions of people through close

collaborating with all tiers of the government: federal, provincial and district with civil

society organizations, private sector and the beneficiary communities. UNDP Pakistan

provides policy and implementation support to the Government of Pakistan in the area of

women’s political participation, socio-economic development and institutional

strengthening. So the overall importance and application of communication in UNDP

based on its effective development by making its good connection with government,

Public and other agencies through telephone, internet, e-mails, advertisement, posters etc.

The major project of UNDP is Area Development Program Balochistan

(ADPB) Phase-II which is recently running in Balochistan started from July 2006 and

will end in June 2010.

Being a project of UNDP, Area Development Program Balochistan (ADPB) also

focuses on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which became the Slogan of

United Nations and its Agencies. So a brief overview of Millennium Development Goals

(MDGs) is necessary.

Chapter # 2: Introduction to Area Development Program

Balochistan (ADPB)

Area Development Program Balochistan is a community based program of

Poverty Alleviation & Sustainable Livelihoods with specific focus on rural poor. The

Program is being implemented in nine upland districts of Balochistan province of

Pakistan namely Musakhel, Qila Saifullah, Loralai, Ziarat, Pishin, Quetta, Mastung,

Kalat and Khuzdar. All these districts are located in upland Balochistan, and constitute

25% of the Province's total land mass and 42% of the population. Within each district,

valleys have been tentatively identified for initiating the program activities. Valleys

create a natural and social grouping of villages. The selection has been based on the

criteria of poverty, small holding, weak infrastructure, poor access to social services,

potential for integrated development and inadequate coverage by previous development

efforts. A list of the valleys where a start was made is given below.

the United Nations, Government of Balochistan and the beneficiary community, jointly

finances the Program.

Area Development Programme Balochistan (ADPB) Phase-II was started in

July 2006. This programme is spread over four years, ending in June 2010. The period

from 1st July to 31 December 2006 was utilized for formally closing Phase-I (1996 to

2006) of the programme and completing institutional arrangement for Phase-II, such as

preparation and processing of Project Document and PC-I of the programme, signing of

cost-sharing agreement for phase-II between Government of Balochistan (GoB) and

United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for second phase of ADPB and

another agreement between ADPB and World Food Programme (WFP) and hiring

programme staff.

ADPB is a multi-donor programme, funded by the GoB, UNDP, WFP and the

beneficiary communities.

The ADPB is community based area development programme, which has two major

objectives:

a) To reduce poverty in the target areas through livelihoods improvement and,

b) To develop sustainable development models for replication.

Overall Program Objectives are:

Community mobilization and capacity building

Local capital generation

Improving agriculture and livestock productivity

Conserving natural resources

Creating income generation opportunities

Improving access to market and services

Facilitating access to social sector services

Strengthening women's role in development

2

Since livelihoods in the rural areas of Balochistan are mainly dependent upon Livestock,

subsistence agriculture and water and irrigation, hence major development interventions

of ADPB for livelihoods improvement are also in these sectors. As the programme

follows participatory development methodology, therefore launch of all interventions are

preceded by community mobilization through formation of Community Organizations

(COs), both for male and female beneficiaries. The programme operations are being

implemented in pre-selected Union Councils in nine districts of the province. The main

trust of the programme interventions is focused on improving productivity of the existing

agriculture and livestock sectors in the project valleys and to scale-up their base, two

activities crucial to improve livelihoods in the rural areas. The total cost of annual work

plan for 2008 is US$ 1,504,746, almost 40 percent over by annual work plan of 2007,

with corresponding increase in all major interventions.

2.1 Brief overview of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set by

the UNITED NATIONS

The MDGs represent a global partnership that has grown from the commitments

and targets established at the world summits of the 1990s. Responding to the world's

main development challenges and to the calls of civil society, the MDGs promote poverty

reduction, education, maternal health, gender equality, and aim at combating child

mortality, AIDS and other diseases.

Set for the year 2015, the MDGs are an agreed set of goals that can be achieved if

all actors work together and do their part. Poor countries have pledged to govern better,

and invest in their people through health care and education. Rich countries have pledged

to support them, through aid, debt relief, and fairer trade.

2.2 How is UNDP helping?

2

UNDP is working with a wide range of partners to help create coalitions for

change to support the goals at global, regional and national levels, to benchmark progress

towards them, and to help countries to build the institutional capacity, policies and

programmes needed to achieve the MDGs.

Guided by the UN Core Strategy, UNDP's work on the MDGs focuses on coordinating

global and local efforts that:

Campaign and mobilise for the MDGs through advocacy;

Share the best strategies for meeting the MDGs in terms of innovative practices,

policy and institutional reforms, means of policy implementation, and evaluation

of financing options;

Monitor and report progress towards the MDGs; and

Support governments in tailoring the MDGs to local circumstances and

challenges.

Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger

Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education

2

Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women

Goal 4: Reduce child mortality

Goal 5: Improve maternal health

Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases

2

Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability

Goal 8: Develop a global partnership for development

2.3 MDGs: UNDP's Role

The MDGs provide a framework for the entire UN system to work coherently

together toward a common end. UNDP’s global development network on the ground in

166 countries is uniquely positioned to help advocate for change, connect countries to

knowledge and resources, and coordinate broader efforts at the country level. UNDP's

work on the MDGs is guided by the United Nations Core Strategy on MDGs and focuses

on:

2

Campaigning & mobilisation: Supporting advocacy for the MDGs and working

with partners to mobilise the commitments and capabilities of broad segments of

society to build awareness on the MDGs;

Analysis: Researching and sharing best strategies for meeting the MDGs in terms

of innovative practices, policy and institutional reforms, means of policy

implementation, and evaluation of financing options;

Monitoring: Helping countries report advancement towards the MDGs and track

progress;

Operational activities: Goal-driven assistance to support governments to tailor

MDGs to local circumstances and challenges; address key constraints to progress

on the MDGs

The budgeting system of ADPB is that, that they are revising there budgets every month

and allocates the expected required budget for the up coming month all the amount and

the budgets were in dollars rather than rupees if the exchange rate of dollars were

increasing so the ADPB had to clear their gain if there were decreasing in the rate of

CHAPTER # 9: Swot analysis of UNDP

This section of report constitutes the SWOT analysis of UNDP.

SWOT analysis is an acronym that stands for strengths, weakness, opportunities, and

threats SWOT analysis is careful evaluation of organizations internal strengths and

weakness as well as its environment opportunities and threats.

“SWOT analysis is a situational which includes strengths, weaknesses, opportunities

and threats that affect organizational performance.”

“The overall evaluation of a company strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and

threats is called SWOT analysis.”

In SWOT analysis the best strategies accomplish an organizations mission by:

Exploiting an organization opportunities and strength.

Neutralizing it threats.

Avoiding or correcting its weakness.

SWOT analysis is one of the most important steps in formulating strategy using

the organization mission as a context; managers assess internal strengths distinctive

competencies and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats.

The goal is to then develop good strategies ant exploit opportunities and strengths

neutralize threats and avoid weaknesses with an overall organizational goal is to increase

the wealth and value of the organization.

LEARNING

During my time with the ADPB-UNDP, I learned a lot about the status of women

in the Middle East, and a host of other really interesting information. However, I also

learnt the importance of initiating your own work assignments. The ADPB-UNDP had a

very horizontal way of doing things: in other words, they did not give me many work

assignments. So I had to be creative and come up with my own work projects some of

which included working with GoB and Beneficiary Communities.

During my internship I found that the ADPB is not working only for the development of

schemes but it helps the Students in a very good manner as well the culture of the

organization is really appraisable which is maintained by the employees of ADPB.

I also contributed to the development of interns profile and cataloging system for

the interns resource center at main office of ADPB-UNDP.

I have learned a lot by observing my Supervisor Ms. Shamshad Kousar.

Planning and being prepared is the key to achieving goals. While some may pride

themselves in staying back till late hours in the office to get the job done, by proper time

management and delegation of task, a lot of processes can be streamlined. When extra

effort is required, my superiors stayed back to lend a hand. I truly admire this

“Leadership by example” approach. It is quite motivating.

Listening is another important skill. I always have a lot of questions and my

Supervisors have always been patient listeners. This lent a very good rapport to our

relationship, allowing me to clearly define problems and seek advise.
