A. PROGRAM SUMMARY

In order to improve education in Sindh, the United States Agency for International Development

(USAID) and the Government of Sindh (GOS) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to

implement a five-year comprehensive Sindh Basic Education Program (SBEP). The program is one of

the major bi-lateral initiatives that supports the government’s efforts of ensuring access to quality

education for every child. The emphasis of SBEP is to increase and sustain students’ enrollment in

primary, elementary, and secondary grades in seven districts in the northern part of Sindh province,

namely Dadu, Jacobabad, Kamber-Shahdadkot, Kashmore, Khairpur, Larkana, and Sukkur; and five

towns of Karachi, including Bin Qasim, Gadap, Kemari, Lyari, and Organi of Karachi in Sindh province.

SBEP is comprised of seven components: 1) construction of schools in areas affected by the 2010

floods; 2) support to GOS policy reforms to merge, consolidate, and upgrade schools through their

construction; 3) improvement in early grade reading in primary schools; 4) community mobilization

with a focus on increasing girls’ enrollment and improving the nutritional status of children; 5) technical

assistance (TA) to GOS’s School Education and Literacy Department (SELD); 6) architecture and

engineering support for school construction; and 7) monitoring and evaluation (M&E).

The Sindh Community Mobilization Program (CMP), one of the major components of SBEP, is a five-

year program (in addition to a sixth year no cost extension) implemented by Blumont Engineering

Solutions and its partners—Health and Nutrition Development Society (HANDS) and Indus Resource

Centre (IRC).

CMP, being a cornerstone of SBEP, has four key components: 1) Increase communities’ involvement

in the GOS reform of merging, consolidating, and upgrading schools; 2) Improve community and

district administrations’ coordination for increased girls’ enrollment; 3) Improve child nutrition in

selected communities and government schools through research that informs innovation and good

practice; and 4) Pilot component: Launch of the Education Management Organizations (EMOs).

In addition, CMP has three cross-cutting themes (CCTs) that add significant value to these objectives:

1) gender mainstreaming of program activities; 2) water and sanitation (WATSAN): improving facilities,

knowledge, and practice; and 3) Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR): improving awareness, knowledge,

preparation, and practice. Additionally, CMP is providing small grants to neighboring schools to

address needs that they identify and prioritize in school improvement plans (SIPs).

The program’s key objectives are to: facilitate coordination among the community and other

stakeholders in aspects related to construction, merging, consolidation, and upgrading of SBEP schools;

empower communities around 409 schools (106 construction schools and 303 non-construction

schools, also termed as ‘neighboring schools’ due to proximity to construction schools); and increase

students’ enrollment, particularly girls’ enrollment, and retention in 409 selected schools through

strengthened linkages between communities and District Education Departments and meaningful

community involvement in day-to-day school management and local decision making. CMP’s inclusive

community activities are designed to make these educational improvements sustainable by increasing

communities’ support for their local schools and advocacy for better educational provisions.

B.1. SUMMARY OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS DURING JANUARY 1, 2019 –

MARCH 31, 2019

The Sindh Community Mobilization Program (CMP) has increased its emphasis on sustainability

through community empowerment and strengthening community coordination with the Government

of Sindh (GOS) to implement best practices beyond the life of the program. Under Component One,

CMP continued its technical and administrative support to GOS to implement School Consolidation,

Merging, and Upgrading reforms by mapping schools, meeting with school management committees

(SMCs), and ensuring that all notifications and required documentation are in place. To improve the

understanding of district and Taluka level officers on the conceptual and operational aspects of school

consolidation reforms, CMP organized orientation sessions on School Consolidation, Merging, and

Upgrading, for school-, taluka-, and district-level Education Officers of Dadu and Jacobabad districts.

During the quarter, CMP offered technical support to School Management Committees (SMCs) and

sub-committees in updating 11 Social Mobilization Plans (SMPs) and tracking their implementation in

alignment with CMP’s objective of increasing coordination between communities and GOS.

CMP continued to foster knowledge sharing by organizing three community exchange visits for SMC

members of Karachi and Larkana district schools. These SMC members visited schools in Khairpur,

Sukkur, and Larkana districts and learned from the best practices applied by EMOs and host

communities. CMP also organized school-level Taleemi Mela (education fairs) to provide a platform to

talented children to showcase their creativity. Communities have taken ownership and led community-

based activities, such as school improvement planning; small grant implementation; and other

enrollment, retention, and recognition related activities, which CMP assisted when required. During

the period, CMP guided SMCs in updating 11 school improvement plans (SIPs), and implemented as

well as closed out small grants in 66 schools. Community recognition days like these generated

significant media coverage through print and electronic media.

This quarter, CMP conducted a third and final round of anthropometry screening of 5 to 10 year old

children in 172 targeted schools. The program also encouraged School Health and Nutrition

Committees (SHNCs) to implement these best practices independently (screening, referral, and

behavior change communication) to share health and hygiene awareness raising sessions in

communities. CMP, with the collaboration of school administrations, established health corners in 63

targeted schools. These health corners are being maintained and managed by respective SHNCs, SMC

Executive Committees, and Schools Head Teachers. Along with screenings and health and hygiene

sessions, the project reestablished health screening corners and displayed different communication

products. The displayed Information Education and Communication (IEC) material/posters, including

key messages regarding health, nutrition, and hygiene, have become effective tools in raising awareness

and changing behaviors.

As far as providing technical support to GOS in Education Management Organization (EMO) reforms,

CMP achieved two major accomplishments. These include organizing concession agreement signing

ceremonies and handing over schools to selected EMOs. During the quarter, the Concession

Agreement Signing Ceremony between SELD, GOS, and EMOs were held at the Chief Minister of

Sindh’s House in Karachi in January 2019. The signing ceremony launched the implementation of GOS

EMO policy reforms for the next batch of state-of-the-art schools constructed with the support of

USAID under the USD 159.2 million SBEP. USAID Deputy Mission Director for Sindh and Baluchistan,

John Smith-Sreen, along with Chief Minister Sindh Province, Syed Murad Ali Shah, Minister for SELD,

Syed Sardar Ali Shah, and Chief Secretary of Sindh, Syed Mumtaz Ali Shah, attended the signing

ceremony. The selected EMOs will manage 20 newly constructed state-of-the-art public schools under

SBEP, and 25 high priority schools in Sukkur, Larkana, Kamber-Shahdadkot, and Dadu districts. CMP

also provided technical support to the PPP Node in preparing for RFP#5 and the execution of reforms

for the previously awarded schools. Another key highlight of this quarter was that CMP was awarded

of 54

the Best Fundraising and Philanthropist Initiative award during the Annual Corporate Social

Responsibility Summit held on January 31, 2019. CMP continued to leverage local resources and

organized a cluster-based event to acknowledge the contributions of local philanthropists.

CMP ensured women’s inclusion and girls’ empowerment in all fields and components/interventions.

CMP provided orientations to Education Department officials in Dadu and Jacobabad districts to

mainstream gender in all sections of education and within the department. CMP also encouraged

communities to acknowledge women’s contributions, so they can positively contribute in girls’

enrollment, retention, and improvement in education. To this end, CMP organized International

Women’s Day events and received appreciation from community, media, and district education

department officials.

Finally, CMP engaged a national level media delegation of 25 journalists and arranged a learning tour

to Sukkur. This trip was an exemplary success, which resulted in significant positive media coverage

and content generation at leading newspapers, websites, and national TV channels. CMP was also

featured at FM 101 radio program on International Women’s Day to amplify the message of change

the program aims to achieve. Overall, CMP’s key accomplishments for the quarter II of Year VI

contributed to the objectives of SBEP to improve access of quality education for the children of Sindh.

C. STATUS OF ACTIVITIES AS PER COMPONENT

Component I: Increase Communities’ Involvement in GOS Reform of

Consolidation, Merging, and Upgrading Schools

Mapping and Ground Assessment for the Consolidation and Merging of

Schools in CMP targeted schools

In continuation of CMP’s efforts to mobilize communities and increase community involvement, CMP

conducted seven meetings with SMC general bodies and communities in Dadu, Kamber Shahdadkot

and Karachi. The purpose of the meetings was to explain the salient features of school consolidation,

along with merging and upgrading reforms, to initiate dialogue for further clarity, and to check the

feasibility of implementing the consolidation policy. From these interactive sessions with school staff

and community members, SMC members understood the importance of school consolidation,

merging, and upgradation and its benefits to the communities' children.

CMP responded to the queries raised by community members regarding this reform and provided

technical assistance in conducting ground level assessments, mapping, and collecting SMCs' resolutions

and other documents for evidence. In addition, CMP also defined school level tasks pertaining to the

school consolidation process.

Besides mapping and coordination, CMP also conducted 31 sessions and provided support to school

staff and SMCs in Dadu, Jacobabad, Karachi, Kashmore, Larkana, and Sukkur districts to ensure that

everyone understood and endorsed the implementation of this reform. This technical assistance

included, helping Taluka Education Officers (TEOs) and District Education Officers (DEOs) in

preparing feasibility reports/proposals for schools where consolidation is possible per GOS policy.

These feasibility reports, proposals, SMC resolutions, and other documents of 31 schools were

submitted to the Director, SELD in order to issue notifications for consolidated schools.

Orientation of DEOs, TEOs, and Supervisors on GOS policy of consolidation,

merging and upgrading of schools

To ensure that district, taluka and school level

education officials fully understand the effective

implementation of GOS school consolidation,

merging, and upgradation reform, CMP organized

two district level orientation workshops in Dadu

and Jacobabad districts. A total of 75 participants

(55 male 20 female) attended these workshops,

which included the Director of Education -

Elementary, Secondary and Higher Secondary

Schools, DEOs, Deputy DEOs (primary and

secondary), TEOs, and concerned Head Teachers

of SBEP construction schools. In Jacobabad district,

Dr. Suharab Khan Sarki, Member of the Provincial

Assembly (MPA) of Sindh, also participated in the

workshop and expressed his views regarding the

assistance of USAID. He appreciated CMP’s efforts

in raising the awareness of the local community on the importance of girls’ education. He assured

every possible support in meeting the objectives of SBEP program in district Jacobabad.

During these workshops, participants discussed the

challenges faced in implementing these reforms. These

included:

Surrendering the Sindh Education Management

Information System (SEMIS) Code of merged

schools; Following one master roll (staff attendance

register) after merging; Allocated SMC funds in one account; and Delays in issuing the notification from the

Directorate.

CMP district teams assured their assistance to DEOs in the preparation and submission of school-

specific feasibility proposals to SELD, as well as the community during the implementation process.

Furthermore, participants also reviewed previous workshops’ action points, suggested possible

solutions for the implementation of the reform policy, and proposed a list of potential schools that

must be included in the upcoming round of consolidation.

Develop/Update, Implement, and Track SMPs

CMP conducted meetings and provided technical assistance to SMCs, sub-committees, and community

members in developing and updating SMPs. While communities engaged in this activity, CMP observed

that there are many activities, such as identifying and prioritizing school needs, planning activities,

organizing SMC general body meetings, school days, winter and summer camps, and international and

national days that contribute to increased enrollment and retention. CMP acknowledges that a SMP is

a living document, which is developed once during the life of the project and reviewed and updated

every year. In addition to assisting communities update 11 plans, CMP also held meetings with 11

communities to track the implementation of activities scheduled under their respective SMPs.

current MNA, Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah, expressed his views the text box below.

During the events, PMIU facilitated the school hand-over

process from contractor to district Education Department

and further to selected EMOs. During these events

students also expressed their excitement and inspiration

for studying in new well-equipped school buildings.

During the school opening ceremonies, SBEP partners set

up stalls and displayed information about their programs.

Thereafter, CMP conducted school-based activities to

sensitize parents and communities and to familiarize them

with the new buildings and their facilities. CMP also

conducted sessions on health, nutrition, and hygiene best

practices with students and parents. Halcrow Pakistan also

conducted a session with school staff and SMCs to provide

guidelines for school infrastructure repairs and

maintenance, and the complaint management system on the

day physical assets from PMIU were verified.

At each event, PMIU also oversaw the hand-over process

from the contractor to District Education Department and selected EMOs. Students expressed their

excitement to see new well-equipped school buildings. They shared that these schools provide an ideal

space for them to learn and grow in a conducive and safe environment. They were so inspired by the

quality of infrastructure and eager to study in these new schools.

“I am very much impressed to see

performance of Students on the

stage and also emphasis on girls’

education, he said that we can’t

open new schools in every village

but we can promote girls

education by educating women

because the lap of mother is the

basic education place.”

Component II: Improve Community and District Administration Coordination

for Increased Girls Enrollment

Data Collection on new enrollment and review with baseline enrollment

trends

From the beginning of the program, CMP has focused on increasing enrollment and retention of girls

in schools through its interventions. CMP has been an effective interface between the communities,

school management and district government for achieving the targets of enrollment in program

focused schools through numerous community engagement interventions. CMP collected data of new

and re-enrolled students from targeted schools in all CMP targeted districts for the 2018-2019

academic year. The data collection reflected the effectiveness of community mobilization efforts. This

process also shows how much interest and efforts are invested by parents in sending their children to

school. CMP also collected aggregated student enrollment and attendance data from CMP targeted

schools for 2018-2019 academic session.

Improve Visibility of CMP Targeted Schools

CMP is making continuous efforts to encourage communities to improve enrollment, retention and

quality of learning, and in order to amplify that change and enhance visibility of the program. In this

regard CMP displayed communication materials (SMPs, SIPs, nutritional status of screened children,

list of subcommittee members, and other relevant materials) in 121 schools of CMP targeted districts.

Displayed materials included the details of interventions carried out in the schools as well as their

impact. CMP provided/displayed SIP and SMP boards, notice board, small grants board, posters of

health and hygiene messages and SMC executive committee board.

Develop/Update and Track Implementation of School Improvement Plans

The School Improvement Plan (SIP) is an essential document which helps school administration, SMC

and other concerned stakeholders in identifying, prioritizing and planning school improvement needs.

SIP also allows stakeholders to develop a roadmap to explore and allocate resources to make

necessary improvements in schools. During the reporting period, CMP continued its technical

assistance and support to SMC and its sub-committees in updating 11 SIPs in CMP targeted schools.

As mentioned above, this is a key document that keeps SMCs and sub-committees active and

motivated. There are series of activities outlined in the SIP, that committees have planned for entire

academic year. In order to monitor the implementation status, CMP held 28 follow up meetings with

the sub-committees in Kamber-Shahdadkot, Kashmore and Sukkur districts. CMP, with the help of

SMC members, critically reviewed SIPs, marked completed and pending activities, and identified

Implementation and Completion of Small Grants

Small grants are one of the most effective CMP interventions which has brought vivid positive change

in the neighboring schools and facilitated increased enrollment, retention and quality education. CMP

focused on proper implementation, progress verification and completion of existing grants. As a result,

a total of 66 SMCs completed the grants and conducted the close out. These 66 schools made the

following improvements, utilizing the small grants.

39 schools were equipped with solar items, i.e.; panel and fans, thus protecting students from

scorching heat in summer season.

16 schools repaired toilets and drainage lines.

53 schools purchased furniture for students and teachers and one school repaired existing

furniture

12 school carried out other minor infrastructure repair work, including; painting buildings,

repairing class rooms/veranda, broken doors, and windows.

22 schools improved access to water and sanitation by repairing and performing maintenance

on sewerage, fixtures, water pipelines and installing overhead tanks.

16 schools used a portion of their grants to repair main gates and boundary walls and ground

leveling in order to facilitate easy access to buildings

Two schools expanded seating capacity of students by repairing damaged shelters.

Six schools invested part of the amount in improving electric features (fixture, fans, and lights)

in class rooms for a more conducive learning environment.

10 schools purchased learning and recreation materials, such as sports kit, library books,

swings for children, and other supplies.

Organize Taleemi Mela for students

Over the course of its 5 years of implementation, CMP has observed that meaningful engagement of

students, parents and community members, particularly in extracurricular activities, bring promising

results in children’s physical and cognitive development. Therefore, an effective schooling system

inculcates such activities to promote students’ participation in order to develop their life skills in

addition to academic knowledge. CMP is already engaged with SMCs to address demand-side barriers

in education by raising awareness for increased enrollment and retention of students. Hence by

organizing the Taleemi Mela in CMP targeted schools the program aims to promote modern education

in schools by engaging schools, communities/parents, and SMCs.

By capitalizing on the learning and recognition earned from Intel Pakistan’s science fairs, CMP, in

collaboration with SMCs and school administration, organized school level Taleemi Melas (Education

Fairs) in Jacobabad and Kamber Shahdadkot districts. The intention of these Melas was to allow

students and teachers an opportunity to enhance their thematic knowledge and also illustrate to

parents how schools can be a space for children to develop their personalities. During these Taleemi

Melas, schools set up different subject-based stalls, including science, social studies, biology, physics,

handicrafts, drawing, and arts and crafts, where different models were showcased. All visitors seemed

interested and received briefings from students.

Furthermore, students were also engaged in various activities, such as debate competition, dance,

singing, quiz, theatre, and role plays on the importance of education and challenges faced by girls in

getting an education. The performing children received recognition and cash prizes for their

outstanding achievements. Overall activity was well received by school management, community

members, district administration, parents, students, and the education department. While sharing their

feedback, community members mentioned that, “it was an innovative idea of CMP to engage

students and the community for the enhancement of education and to strengthen the

community's trust for the public education system”. A total of 1,092 participants (694 male, 398

female) attended the Taleemi Mela events.

Inter/Intra SMC exchange visits

SMC exchange visits are a CMP initiative aimed at promoting community to community knowledge

sharing by organizing intra-community visits, generally between construction schools and non-

construction school. The major objectives of these exchange visits were to allow SMCs to enhance

their understanding of the role of Education Management Organization (EMO) and their impact on

school management and to promote cross-community learning through exchange of their experiences

with each other.

Figure 3: Children Displayed their Educational Models during Taleemi Mela in Kamber-Shahdadkot District

During this quarter, CMP organized three exchange visits where selected SMCs from two towns in

Karachi visited SMCs of construction schools of Khairpur and Sukkur districts where they observed

how EMOs have undertaken steps to improve the functioning of schools, including organizing various

school-related events. They also discussed the impact of EMOs on improving teaching and learning

activities, student enrollment, parental involvement and community acceptance of EMOs.

In district Larkana, CMP organized an intra-district exchange visit between neighboring schools. During

the exchange visit SMC and community members interacted with SMCs of the guest schools to learn

what steps they have undertaken to improve school functions, such as organizing various school-based

activities, implementing school improvement activities, and carrying out initiatives to increase student

enrollment and retention. Host communities shared their key accomplishments, major challenges and

strategies for overcoming obstacles. During this exchange visit, visiting communities prepared a

learning sheet and jotted down suggestions for means by which they could implement new approaches

in their schools upon their return. This process allowed 104 members (67 male, 37 female) of both

communities to learn from each other while improving self-confidence.

Re-structuring of SMC sub-committees

In the community mobilization process it is important to encourage active and forthcoming members,

who have skills, ability and most importantly the willingness to contribute to the betterment of the

community. Realizing this fact, CMP engaged in sub-committees restructuring process in four school

and restructured the School Sudhar (School Improvement) and Mali Sahaita (Resource and grants

generation) committees in Dadu district.

After restructuring, these committees are expected to work for increased female participation in

decision making bodies, such as SMC executive bodies and sub-committees from community. The

restructured sub-committees are also expected to raise awareness of communities regarding

importance of education as well as ensure to provide community input in the development of School

Improvement Plans and Social Mobilization Plans. One of the roles of these committees is identifying

the most immediate needs of the schools especially female students’ needs that will contribute to

increase female enrollment and retention. In addition, these committees will play a role in seeking in-

kind contributions for schools, ensure effective utilization of small grants and participate in different

trainings.

SMC Executive and General Body Meetings

The CMP social mobilization strategy emphasizes capacity building of local communities in school-

based education reform so they can engage with local schools. This interaction of SMCs, schools and

community members fosters increased enrollment and ensures that the school learning environment

and basic facilities are sufficient and conducive to learning. The strategy also stresses the capacity

building of SMCs sub-committee members so that they can effectively participate in school-based

activities. During the reporting period, CMP held 99 follow up meetings with 1,347 members (997

male, 350 female) of SMC executive committee and general body on various issues including the.

development and implementation of SMPs and SIPs, enrollment and attendance of students, improving

the visibility of school, planning for CMP activities both at cluster and schools levels, record keeping

of SMC etc. The main objective of these SMC meetings was to keep SMCs active and on track to

review and plan the school-based activities in better and more meaningful ways and ensure the

participation of all stakeholders.

While inculcating the health and hygiene related knowledge, CMP emphasized on following key

messages:

A healthy diet helps us to grow well and protects from illnesses.

Healthy food is not expensive; it is possible for everyone to eat healthy. We have to be sensible

with what we eat.

Vitamins and minerals help the body stay healthy and function properly.

Staying clean is important but in addition hygiene is essential for protection from germs,

Personal hygiene means keeping clothes and the whole body clean.

The basic concept of DRR, accessing hazards and taking safety precautions can keep

communities safe.

The basic concept of WATSAN, the effects of using of contaminated water and improper

sanitation.

Water treatment (e.g. boiling and chemical use and proper disposal of waste) can keep humans

healthy.

As a result of these sessions, participants learned the essential nutritional requirements for the growth

of their children. In addition to that they also acquired basic knowledge regarding WATSAN and DRR.

In addition, they also learned about the harmful impacts of improper sanitation and use of

contaminated water.

Health Corner Re-Established and Functional

During the reporting period CMP assisted SMCs and SHNCs to reestablish 63 health corners in Dadu,

Karachi, Kashmore, Larkana, and Sukkur districts by providing screening equipment, displaying health,

nutrition and hygiene posters. During this process, CMP also disseminated nutrition status information

of screened children.

It’s worth highlighting that the posters displaying key messages will foster the knowledge about health,

balanced diet, nutrition and personal, domestic and environmental hygiene. It is expected that these

health corners will be managed and maintained by SHNCs and SMCs.

The following lessons were learned during the

meeting and way forward actions were decided, including:

It was revealed that the EMOs had conceived of the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of

the Concession Agreements differently while the explanation about some of the KPIs were

different from Independent Experts, causing differences in the reporting and evaluation

process. In turn, CMP reviewed the KPIs for further elaboration, to which the participants

agreed. It was also decided that an orientation session on KPIs, and the reporting and

evaluation mechanism should be conducted for all EMOs, IEs, and IAs.

EMOs had established good working relations with the top tier of GOS, however they had

faced challenges in dealing with district and town level administrations. Further, EMOs did

not fully understand the public sector system of communications, coordination and relevant

authorities to solve issues. EMOs were asked to frequently use District Support Team (DST)

forums to resolve their day to day problems.

Provide Technical Assistance/Support to Relevant Departments of GOS for

Budgetary Financial Allocations in Favor of EMOs and SBEP Targeted

Schools

CMP provided technical support to PPP-Node in developing the expenditure estimation for EMO

schools under initial three RFPs. These estimations were then submitted to GOS Finance Department

by GOS School Education and Literacy Department for release of next tranche of funds, which were

positive. A meeting was held with UNWOMEN, also to discuss possibilities of support for female

of 54

students and teachers under some collective activity. Another new CSR potential contact is Habib

Bank Limited; they have some provision of CSR contribution. To qualify for an HBL grant, it is essential

to have one local non-profit as a partner. Therefore, CMP has reached out to a newly selected EMO,

The Citizen Foundation, to become a partner and to submit a standard application package to HBL. A

follow-up was also made on duly submitted phase –II, a new partnership request to Rotary

International to collaborate to support SBEP-targeted schools under new support options proposed to Rotary.

Community Contributions-Philanthropy & Recognition Events

CMP continued to integrate the process of local resource generation for SBEP schools through in-

kind support and local contributions’ events hosting at the community and school levels in order to

drive resource mobilization and to ensure sustainability and long-term stewardship of SBEP

interventions. During the reporting quarter, CMP organized seven local resource generation events in

Karachi, Kashmore, and Larkana districts with 219 community members (45 male, 174 female) and

tracked local contributions and encouraged local stakeholders by acknowledging their support at recognition events.

D. STATUS OF ACTIVITIES AS PER CROSS CUTTING THEMES

Gender Mainstreaming

Orientation of DEOs and TEOs on Gender Mainstreaming

CMP continued to improve the capacity of different stakeholders, so they can ensure gender

integration and mainstreaming in their respective roles. In this regard CMP organized two district level

workshops in Dadu and Jacobabad to provide orientation to district, Taluka and school level officers

about gender integration concepts. The workshop was linked with a school consolidation, merging

and upgrading workshop, for 75 participants (55 male 20 female), including: DEOs, Deputy DEOs,

TEOs, and Head Teachers of SBEP construction schools. The purpose of the event was to raise

awareness regarding gender integration in the Education Department at the district level and to

sensitize district officials on gender mainstreaming by introducing basic concepts of gender, so they

can better provide equal access to education for boys and girls. The CMP Gender Advisor also shared

salient features of gender as a cross cutting chapter of the Sindh Education Sector Plan5 document.

Celebration of International Women’s Day

March 8 marks the International Women’s Day

where individuals and organizations around the

world appreciate, acknowledge and award the

efforts of women for their contribution in societal

development. Therefore, realizing the importance

of IWD and women’s contribution in our

program, CMP in collaboration with communities,

also celebrated International Women’s Day to

appreciate and acknowledge the efforts of female

champions of change in CMP staff and

communities.

Along with IWD celebration at CMP office, CMP

also organized events in two communities and

gathered the total participation of 764 (18 male, 746 female) in these events. The main objective of

celebrating IWD was to highlight women’s role and contribution in education development in CMP

targeted schools. In addition, CMP team also acknowledged the efforts of their female colleagues by

celebrating a humble IWD event.

During these events women participants were excited to see their children and students’ paying them

tribute through tableaus, speeches, skits and role plays. Some women talked about the lack of facilities,

social/cultural hurdles, and limitation related to girls’ education while the majority of females also

highlighted the importance of education.

Community Dialogue to Address the Girl Dropouts

CMP continued to stress the importance of girls’ education. To this end, the program organized 19

community dialogues in Dadu, Jacobabad, Karachi, Kashmore, Khairpur, Larkana, and Sukkur Districts

with 618 participants (83 male, 535 female) parents, especially mothers, to discuss the causes and

effects of girls leaving school early. The facilitator emphasized that education is a basic right of every

child; therefore, girls must be enrolled in school to continue their education. Some of the parents

accept it as irresponsible on their part, while some also considered poverty a limiting factor in

continuing their girls’ education. According to a few participants, in addition to poverty, a lack of

proper security measures and basic facilities in schools are major hindrances in girls’ education.

These sessions increased parents’ motivation to re-enroll their girls, and they requested that CMP

and SELD provide basic facilities.

Session with Women on Rights, Communication, and Participation Skills

To provide basic knowledge about women’s rights and to increase the awareness of female SMC sub-

committee members about their rights, communication, and leadership skills, CMP organized 25

cluster-based session with 739 participants (53 male, 686 female) on “Rights, Communication and

Participation Skills” in Dadu, Jacobabad, Karachi, Kashmore, Khairpur, Larkana and Sukkur districts.

The purpose of these sessions was to enhance women’s participation, to raise their confidence in

decision making bodies, and to provide essential skills, such as communication and leadership skills, so

they can play a vital role in girls’ enrollment, retention, and reduced dropout rates.

Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Water and Sanitation (WATSAN) Sessions

CMP briefed the community about potential hazards and collective efforts to avert disaster risks. The

program also raised awareness about proper WATSAN and recommended best practices pertaining

to improved health and hygiene. Community members also highlighted a lack of safe drinking water in

schools as well as at homes; CMP recommended to include such high priority issues in SIPs, so that

school administration and SMC executive committees can take the necessary measures to address this

problem. CMP also shared roles and responsibilities related to WATSAN and DRR with revised sub-

committees and new members who expressed their commitment to comply with outline rules.

Documentation, Outreach and Communication

Communication activities serve the purpose of enhancing the visibility of the program and also allow

external stakeholders to learn about the effectiveness and impact of the program. In order to pursue

this objective, CMP organized some key activities which amplified the success of program.

Content Collection from Field

Based on a request from CMP’s COR, CMP

Communications Manager visited Sukkur and Khairpur

districts during January and February 2019 to collect

photographs, videos and short interviews/reflections of

students, teachers, EMOs, SMCs, from all construction

schools which have been handed over to the Education

Management Organizations (EMOs) and are fully

functional/ operational in these two districts. The

material is intended to produce different multimedia

products, utilized during high level meetings to show

success of the Public Private Partnership initiative under

SBEP. The database will also be helpful for Blumont,

USAID and SBEP for future communications product development as it is a big resource.

Media Visit

Media visits to project sites are extremely important, and it gives an opportunity to the

independent journalists to produce reports from a neutral perspective. Keeping in mind past

successful media trips, CMP arranged a learning tour of national level media outlets. CMP invited at

least 25 journalists from mainstream print and electronic media to visit Sindh Basic Education

Program (SBEP) construction schools to observe the quality of buildings/facilities being provided

and efforts being made to improve the quality of education.

The national level journalists visited

SBEP/EMO managed schools in district

Khairpur and Sukkur. Education beat

reporters were invited from Islamabad,

since the understanding of national level

journalists and quality of content is good

and their reports get better airing time

slots. The packages/news articles received

were utilized by publicizing these on

official social media accounts of USAID,

SBEP and Blumont as well as on websites.

A smaller group of journalists travelled to

Karachi to record the interview between

Secretary School Education & Literacy

Department, Government of Sindh and

higher management of USAID; their

E. CHALLENGES

Challenges Faced During Quarter Steps Taken to Overcome the Challenges

The first and foremost challenge that CMP faced

during the implementation for different district

and school level activities during the reporting

quarter was the frequent transfers of district

level education officials. It creates some issues

while implementation program activities because

new officer is not fully aware about the scope

and methodology of CMP activities. This is more

relevant in connection with school consolidation

and merging related activities in Kashmore and

Larkana district.

CMP field team and Sr. DMs enhanced their

engagement with new coming staff and provided

them detailed overview about program’s

progress.

In some of the districts Government officials are

busy with the tasks assigned by their supervisors,

which makes difficult for them to participate in

CMP’s activities, particularly in Dadu.

Sr. DM made proactive effort to plan the

activities in alignment with their schedule,

wherever possible, in order to increase

probability of participation of Government

officials.

Last but not least, student absenteeism in some

schools during nutrition screening was a big

challenge for CMP field teams.

In order to cover the absent students for

screening, CMP field team conducted multiple

visits to same schools on different dates. CMP

team also sought parents and SMCs support in

this regard, so they can ensure children’s

presence in school.

F. OPERATIONS

Dr. Fawad Shams COP and Mr. Saqib Chauhan Senior Manager PPP resigned from CMP.

Hired three STTA for supporting HR, Finance and MIS in close out process.

Renewed the employees’ and their dependants’ health insurance policy.

Employment contracts for all staff has been renewed in the result of annual performance

appraisal.

Implemented Blumont’s updated policy manual.

Employment contract of follwing staff has been ended with CMP on March 31, 2019.

o Gender Mainstreaming Advisor and Community Mobilization Advisor.

o Sr. District Managers Khairpur, Kashmore and Kamber-Shahdadkot.

o Grants Officer, two M&E Officers and One Data Entry Officer.
