Introduction to the Programme Balochistan Rural Development and Community Empowerment Programme (BRDCEP)

Balochistan Rural Development and Community Empowerment Programme (BRDCEP) is supported by the European Union (EU) and being implemented in close collaboration with the Local Government and Rural Development (LG&RDD) Department of the Government of Balochistan (GoB). It is a five-year Programmeand being implemented by the Rural Support Programmes Network (RSPN), National Rural Support Programme (NRSP) and Balochistan Rural Support (BRSP). BRDCEP is being implemented in eight districts of Balochistan, namely Jhal Magsi, Kech, Khuzdar, Killa Abdullah, Loralai, Pishin, Washuk, and Zhob. The programme focuses on empowering citizens and communities and providing them with the means to implement community-driven socio-economic development interventions. It will also amplify communities’ voice and capability to influence public policy decision-making through active engagement with local authorities for quality, inclusive and equitable service delivery, and civic-oversight.

The programme will be technically supported by Human Dynamics, an Austrian company, to contribute in enabling the Government of Balochistan (GoB) to foster an enabling environment for strengthening the capacities of local government/authorities to manage and involve communities in the statutory local public sector planning, financing, and implementation processes through development and implementation of a clearly defined fiscal and regulatory Public Finance Management (PFM) frameworks, budgetary processes and commitments.

The overall objective of the programme is to support the Government of Balochistan in its efforts to reduce the negative impact of economic deprivation, poverty and social inequality, environmental degradation and climate change, and instead to develop opportunities by building and empowering resilient communities to participate actively in identifying and implementing socio-economic development activities on a sustainable basis in partnership with local authorities.

BRDCEP’s core action includes the promotion of bottom-up community-driven participatory development. The strategic focus of BRDCEP is social mobilisation and institutional development; increased voice and capacity; social accountability; gender mainstreaming; cross cutting themes; and evidence base research and policy. Under BRDCEP, 1.9 million Pakistani citizens from 300,000 poor rural households in 249 union councils (UCs) will be mobilised and organised into a network of people’s own institutions: 19,129 Community Organisations (COs); 3,103 Village Organisations (VOs); 249 Local Support Organisations (LSOs) and 31 LSO Networks at tehsil level and eight LSO Networks at district level. Rural Support Programmes (RSPs) then will provide support to improve the lives and livelihoods of the organised households, as well as to foster linkages between the community institutions and local authorities to improve local basic service delivery. The programme will also promote civic engagement by encouraging the households to become aware of and involved in political processes and the issues that affect them and their community collectively.

The Local Government and Rural Development Department (LGRDD), Government of Balochistan (GoB), in collaboration with BRSP, NRSP and RSPN launched the EU supported BRDCEP on November 10, 2017, at Quetta.

This large provincial level rural development initiative, also one of the focal key sectors under the EU 2014-20 Multiannual Indicative Programme, is designed to develop close synergies and buy-in by key stakeholders in and outside the province. It was critical to take key stakeholders of the rural development sector on board from the onset of the programme. Keeping this in view, main objective of the launch was to present BRDCEP to key stakeholders of rural development from administrative, political and socioeconomic pillars. This was also an opportunity to seek their views on the programme and as well as to create broader common understanding about the programme.

Over two hundred and thirty participants, including Federal and Provincial Ministers, Senators, Members of National and Provincial Assemblies, the EU Ambassador to Pakistan, senior level representation from the Provincial Government Departments, RSPN/RSP Board Chairpersons and Members, Managers and staff, academia, UN Agencies, other civil society representatives, media representatives and Local Support Organisation representatives attended the BRDCEP launching ceremony Event Proceedings

Dr. Shahnawaz Khan, Senior Manager Programmes/Team Leader (BRDCEP) from BRSP, moderated the event. He welcomed all the participants and requested Maulana Hafiz to recite from the Holy Quran with English translation. After the recitation, he mentioned to the terrorist attack a day before in Quetta that took the life of Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Police and other police personnel. He paid tributes to all the martyrs who had been fighting against the terrorism and requested the participants to offer Fatiha (prayers) for them.

She said that BRDCEP will have a blanket coverage in the target districts and is highly strategic in nature as it will set a roadmap for participatory development in the province. She also underscored that Government’s and RSPs have shared objectives and that close synergies will developed during the implementation of the programme.

Mr. Sana Ullah Baloch, Ex-Senator from Balochistan, mentioned the key issues and challenges in Balochistan.

He appreciated RSPs’ role in promoting consultations and dialogues to address jointly the prevailing issues. He held the view that crisis is not due to lack of resources; it is the lack of determination that needs to reawakened.

He said, “Akhter Hameed Khan preached that there are two pillars of state, the political and the administrative pillars. These pillars cannot access each and every household”. Therefore, Mr. Akhter Hameed Khan advocated development of a third pillar, i.e. the socio- economic pillar or the social pillar. He said that poverty and impoverishment is at the household level and Rural Support Programmes foster a framework of grassroots institutions to enable each and every household to access services and supplies. He explained that in the process RSP help unleash the potential of the people individually and collectively when people are federated at the higher levels.

community wants. This is the main function of RSPs”. He stated that this approach depends upon three main requisites that includes: willingness of people to organize, to initiate savings programme and to improve their skills.
