Core Issues related to Habitat
Cold (low thermal efficiency) Smoke , ventilation and illumination Seismic Vulnerability Planning (space and village) Un-employment Disappearance of indigenous skills and
endogenous knowledge

BACIP Roof Hatch Window
• Conserves the heat• Increases Illumination• Protects from rain/dust• Proper ventilation• Reduced workload
10
Water Warming Facility
• Saves Firewood (50%)• Improved hygienic practices• Decreased workload of women
11
12
House Insulation Techniques• Thermal efficient• Saved firewood• Conserves heat• Clean environment• Local material
cost effective
13
Wood collection; a drudgery task invariably done by women and Adolescent children across the
North Region of Pakistan
15
Solar Cooker- Renewable energy (direct sunlight being used for cooking)
16
Traditional Earthquake Reinforcement Techniques
Timber as a reinforcement materiala traditional Way of making buildingsEarthquake resistant
Earthquake effects
17
BACIP Galvanized Wire Reinforcement --Cost effective, easy to make and use, strong

Outcomes/Impact
Economic Benefits (households) Firewood saved
average 3 tons /household/year Rs.25,000.00 /household/year) Rs.100M savings for 4000 hhs
Pay back period is average 4 month’s time for each product
Time saved from fire wood collection – 37.5 working days/hh/yr
Women’s time saved from fire wood chopping – 5.5 working days/woman/year
Medical bills reduction 26%
23
Outcomes/Impact
Social impact Reduction in cold and smoke related disease Enhanced social status Empowerment of women Improved hygienic conditions comfort level Increased mobility for women
24
Availability of > 1100 trained crafts persons with increased employment opportunities and mobility to other regions (Kashmir) and countries (Afghanistan, Gulf states)
Out reach ( NWFP-Nathia Gali, Abbottabad, Malakand Agency, Azad Kashmir and Balochistan
Published >75 reports, manuals, impact studies Inclusion of BACIP earthquake resistant
techniques in ERRA guidelines Developed linkages with govt. of Pakistan,
INGO, CBOs Developed 60 house improvements products and
technologies
25
Experiences
Entrepreneurs were reluctant to avail small loansand maintain a critical mass of products
Pooling of resources by craftsperson's helped thembecome independent later
Marketing of products in winter months is tougher Seasonality and climatic conditions…. a double
edged sword
26
Lessons Learnt
Start up capital proved to be instrumental inenhanced business & exposure exposure to credit institutes, increased confidence level
State of art tools led to enhanced income and improved quality products
Access to Micro Credit an opportunity for poorest of the poor
Establishment of sales outlets and promotion offemale sales persons resulted in wide replication
Training in EE and HI manufacturing is acceptedby local communities
27
Challenges (BACIP)
Development and sustaining a market economy
Enabling policy-absence of policy support/Code of practice
Pool of skilled manpower Agrogaraian economy Changing of mind set /Awareness raising Accessibility
28
Program Recognition
