1. PROGRAM SUMMARY On September 21, 2011, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) signed an Activity Agreement with the Government of Sindh (GOS) to implement the Sindh Basic Education Program (SBEP). This initiative is one of several donor interventions that support the Government’s broader Sindh Education Reform Program agenda. SBEP is focused on increasing and sustaining student enrollment in primary, middle, and higher secondary schools. SBEP centers on seven districts in northern Sindh: Dadu, Jacobabad, Khairpur, Kashmore, Larkana, Qamber Shahdadkot, and Sukkur and five towns: Bin Qasim, Gadap, Kemari, Lyari, and Orangi of Karachi City in Sindh Province. SBEP is comprised of seven components: 1) construction of schools in the areas affected by the 2010 floods; 2) support to GOS policy reforms to merge, consolidate, and upgrade schools; 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 the GOS’s Education and Literacy Department (ELD); 6) architecture and engineering support for school construction, and 7) monitoring and evaluation. International Relief and Development (IRD) is implementing the five-year USAID funded Sindh Community Mobilization Program (CMP) that commenced in August 2013. It forms a cornerstone of SBEP, particularly the pilot of EMOs. CMP itself 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 Education Management Organizations (EMOs). In addition, CMP has three cross-cutting themes (CCTs) which significantly add value to these objectives: 1) Gender mainstreaming; 2) Water and sanitation (WATSAN): improved facilities, knowledge, and practice; and 3) Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR): improved awareness, knowledge, preparation, and practice. Additionally, CMP is providing small grants to neighboring schools to address needs they have identified and prioritized in school improvement plans (SIPs). The program tracks and supports the construction, merging, consolidation, and upgrading of SBEP schools. CMP also works with neighboring schools that fall within designated areas around new schools being built under SBEP that are in accord with the specific criteria set by USAID for CMP activities. CMP’s inclusive community activities are designed to make these educational improvements sustainable by increasing community support for local schools and advocating for better educational provisions.

2. SUMMARY OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS DURNG REPORTING PERIOD Sindh Community Mobilization Program has successfully completed the half of fourth year of implementation. During the reporting quarter, CMP advanced SBEP’s overall objective by effectively implementing interventions, and by promoting active and meaningful community participation that led to community empowerment. While continuing collaboration with the School Education Department (SED) at district and provincial levels as well as SBEP’s other partners and non-profit organizations, the CMP team ensures that all deliverables contribute to the improvement of education in SBEP- focused communities. During the reporting period, CMP facilitated the implementation of School Education Department (SED), Government of Sindh’s (GOS) reform on school consolidation, merging, and upgrading policy by organizing district level workshops as well as community level meetings for improved understanding of SMCs and district-level education officials. CMP facilitated a pre-construction meeting at Qamber Shahdadkot to provide orientation to stakeholders, which was followed by the signing of eight agreements between construction contractors and SMCs to start the construction of schools under package III. CMP, PMIU, and USAID also visited school construction sites in Karachi and Larkana to address the conflicting situation during construction activities. In addition to school construction, CMP approved 72 small grants and disbursed the sum of PKR 7.8 million to implement the grants during the reporting period. CMP, in collaboration with PMIU and USAID organized school opening ceremonies at two schools in Khairpur and one in Sukkur district. The events were well attended by a diverse range of stakeholders and received wide media coverage. CMP facilitated the restructuring of SMCs sub-committees and provided capacity building assistance on finance and small grant management to 273 members in 31 CMP focused communities to enable them to prepare and implement grants and perform their roles and responsibilities in an enhanced and effective manner. CMP also expanded community outreach by engaging communities in the celebration of community recognition and school days. One of the most highlighted events of the reporting quarter was the Girls Spots Gala in celebration of International Women’s Day. All of these events helped foster community participation and involvement in local decision-making. These events also provided an opportunity to engage communities on the role of women in increasing girls’ enrollment. During the reporting period, CMP carried out a gender mainstreaming capacity building needs assessment at CMP Karachi at district and community levels to identify the potential as well as learning needs pertaining to gender integration. The exercise was conducted by an external expert and generated important findings which will feed into training design. During International Women’s Day (IWD) 2017 the CMP Gender Advisor participated in two radio programs to highlight CMP’s efforts regarding girls’ education and the empowerment of women. CMP continued to provide technical assistance and facilitation to SMCs in making and updating Social Mobilization Plans (SMPs) and School Improvement Plans (SIPs). During the reporting quarter, SMCs updated 61 SIPs and drafted 10 new plans. In addition, 13 new SMPs were developed and 88 were updated. CMP and the Aga Khan University Human Development Program (AKU-HDP), (technical sub- contractor for nutrition component) completed data collection under Formative Action Research (FAR) and Participatory Action Research (PAR) followed by poster development activities. During the reporting period CMP continued with the screening of students aged 5 – 10 years and coordinated with neighboring health facilities to refer identified malnourished children for further diagnosis and treatment. The CMP team played a critical role in resource mobilization from Rotary International which resulted in the establishment of three computer labs in SBEP targeted schools in Khairpur. CMP also encouraged communities to revive and enhance philanthropic traditions. CMP organized school-based events for local resource generation in all CMP targeted districts and received in-kind and cash contributions worth PKR 112,430 from community members, local notables, and philanthropists. CMP provided continuous facilitation to SED in preparation of request for proposal #3 for outsourcing the management of SBEP targeted schools. SED decided to opt for National Competitive Bidding to

CMP Year IV, Quarter II Report 7 provide the opportunity for more qualifying organizations to compete for and acquire management of newly constructed schools.

3. STATUS OF THE ACTIVITIES AS PER THE COMPONENTS 3.1. Component I: Increase Community Involvement in the GOS Reforms of Merging, Consolidating, and Upgrading Schools Orientation of DEOs, DOs, TEOs, and Supervisors on GOS Policy of School Consolidation, Merging, and Upgrading During the reporting quarter, CMP conducted a one day orientation session for district level officials of SED in Jacobabad, Khairpur, Larkana, and Sukkur districts. The main purpose of these orientation sessions was to facilitate SED to roll-out the school consolidation, merging, and upgrading reforms and to enhance the understanding of district-level officials regarding the implementation of the policy. Through these sessions it was determined that school and district procedures related to consolidating schools would commence in April 2017. One-day orientation session on school consolidation & The sessions were well attended by Local Support merging with Education Department Officials in Sukkur Unit (LSU) representatives, head teachers and SMC chairpersons of campus schools, District Education Officers (DEO), and supervisors. At the conclusion of the sessions, each district nominated a focal person to work with CMP and LSU on the implementation of consolidation policy in CMP targeted schools. Mapping and Ground Assessment for the Consolidation and Merging of Schools in CMP Targeted Schools In order to ensure the effective implementation of GOS reforms on school consolidation, merging, and upgrading, the CMP field team engaged school management committees (SMCs) and communities to initiate dialogue about the feasibility of this reform. The CMP field team in Dadu, Jacobabad, Karachi, Kashmore, and Khairpur conducted meetings with SMC general bodies and communities where they discussed a way forward regarding the execution of GOS reforms on school consolidation and merging and also responded to the queries of participants. During the interactive sessions, SMC members gained an understanding of the importance of GOS reforms and how they benefiting them. The CMP team conducted a ground assessment for SMC member knowledge pertaining to the implementation status of school consolidation policy, especially in CMP targeted schools. CMP shared the assessment report with district level school education department officials and highlighted the feasibility and implementation issues, such as; merged school is at long distance which limits the access of children, girls’ schools are merged with boys’ schools which pose cultural challenge for few communities. As result of these meetings, district officials expressed their commitment to resolve the issues on priority basis. Quarterly Joint Review and Planning Meeting with School Education Department During the reporting quarter, CMP organized joint quarterly review and planning meetings in Karachi, Larkana, and Qamber Shahdadkot districts. The main purpose of these meetings was to increase coordination among different stakeholders (i.e. schools, education department, and SMCs) at the district level and to make collective efforts to improve the quality of education in CMP targeted schools.

CMP Year IV, Quarter II Report 9

These meetings were facilitated by CMP and were attended by the Program Management and Implementation Unit (PMIU) as well as district education officials including DEOs, TEOs, supervisors, and head teachers from under construction schools. The CMP team shared progress and received feedback from concerned stakeholders. The major areas of concern were the delay of construction work in Karachi, and Larkana and also sharing the update about nutrition components. As officials from education department were not well oriented with interventions under nutrition component. Develop and Update Social Mobilization Plans (SMPs) CMP field teams provided technical assistance to SMCs, sub-committees, and community members to develop and update social mobilization plans (SMPs). This is a living document, which is developed once during the life of the project and then reviewed and updated every year. The most important aspect of developing and updating the SMP is to ensure active community participation in identifying school needs, and prioritizing and planning activities and to operate efficiently. In this process SMCs take the lead in developing and updating SMPs while CMP provides facilitation if required. The CMP field team facilitated SMC development of 13 new SMPs and assisted in the update of 88. The activities include SMC general body meetings, the celebration of School Days, international and national days as well as activities to foster student retention.

MOU Signing Ceremonies The productive pre-construction joint coordination meeting with stakeholders marked the official start of package III school construction. During this quarter CMP and PMIU facilitated the signing of eight memorandums of understanding (MOUs) between contractors and SMCs of the new schools to be constructed in Qamber Shahdadkot district. The MOUs signed between SMCs and contractors outlined clear roles and responsibilities of both parties and aimed to ensure community ownership of the school construction process. Besides the terms of reference (TORs), these MOUs included details such as school design, timeline for completion of construction work, temporary learning facilities for children during the construction period, and disposition of equipment and materials from the old school. The main purpose of these MOUs are to ensure that all construction related activities run smoothly and do not compromise quality or harm the interests of either party. A large number of people participated in the MOU ceremonies including parents, community members, SED officials, teachers, students, and district government representatives. All MOUs were signed by concerned SMCs and construction contractors as primary signatories and witnessed by the CMP district managers. They will remain valid until construction is completed. All primary signatories (SMCs and construction contractors) have agreed to abide by the outlined roles and responsibilities before, during, and after construction of the schools. During the ceremonies, SMC chairpersons gave a brief introduction to the area and school, while CMP District Mangers gave detailed overviews of the Sindh Basic Education Program (SBEP) and its components, and Halcrow shared the school design.

The SMC, Head teachers, and school administration shared their serious concerns related to the slow pace of construction due to the termination of contract with previous construction contractor and highlighted other associated issues. A USAID representative (CMP’s COR) assured that the issues would be addressed without further delay, and added that the new construction contractor would be on board no later than May 2017. Community Meeting in Pir Jo Goth, Larkana to Address Construction Related Conflict During the reporting period CMP Larkana facilitated a large community based meeting at Pir Jo Goth. The meeting was conducted as a follow up to a recent visit by USAID and PMIU representatives. The main agenda point of the meeting was the Syed Community in Pir Jo Goth’s concerns regarding the design of the school. In their opinion, the CC net aspect of the design is facing towards their homes, which would compromise their privacy and pose a challenge to their local norms. The community members requested that the design be altered to comply with the social norms of the village. During the meeting, Halcrow representative Mr. Agha Saeed shared that it is not in their authority to alter the design however he stated that they would bring the issue up with a higher authority and share the outcome with community members. The meeting was attended by 33 participants. School Opening Ceremonies As a result of continuous efforts by CMP, other SBEP partners, SED, and most importantly communities, the construction of three state of art SBEP targeted schools was completed during this quarter. In order to celebrate this success CMP, in coordination with PMIU and USAID, organized school opening events at both schools (GHS Bozdar Wada and GHS Karoondi) in Khairpur and the school (GHS Abad Lakha) in Sukkur. The school opening events were chaired by the Assistant Commissioner of Khairpur, the Deputy Commissioner of Khairpur, and the Commissioner of Sukkur districts, respectively.

During these events, students expressed their excitement for new schools. They were very happy to see the well-equipped state-of-the-art school buildings that were built for them. All school opening ceremonies received significant coverage in local and national newspapers as well as TV stations. Following the opening events CMP facilitated day long school-based activities at GHS Bedil Bekas and GHS Abad Lakha in Sukkur and GHS Bozdar Wada in Khairpur district.

3.2. Component II: Improve Community and District Government Coordination for Increased Girls’ Enrollment Re-structuring of SMC Sub-committees The social mobilization strategy of CMP emphasizes building the capacity of local communities in school-based education reform so they can engage with local schools to increase enrolment, and ensure that learning environments and basic facilities are sufficient and conducive to productivity and 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 field teams, in collaboration with SMC executive committees organized and facilitated 112 large community meetings to restructure the school improvement, grants, and local resources sub-committees and share the TOR, and roles and responsibilities of each sub-committee with the concerned members. These meetings were attended by 4,371 participants and successfully restructured 342 sub committees in CMP targeted districts. Develop and Update School Improvement Plans (SIP) School improvement plan (SIP) is a process through which school SMCs Developed School improvement goals are set and strategies to achieve them are Improvement Plans established. A detailed plan provides a road map that prioritizes Dadu 3 improvement needs to ensure an Jacobabad enabling environment for students. It 1 is a living document that is reviewed Qamber Shahdadkot and updated annually. School 10 Karachi 3 improvement needs and available Khairpur resources may vary from school to school. For that reason CMP 2 Larkana 1 conducted training for SMC sub- Sukkur committees to enable them to develop realistic SIPs. During the reporting quarter, the CMP team continued to provide technical assistance to SMC sub- committees to develop and update SIPs. In this quarter, SMCs developed 10 SIPs and updated 61 existing SIPs. Follow-up Meetings with SMC Sub-Committees on the Implementation of SIP and SMP During this quarter CMP field teams in Jacobabad, Kashmore, Larkana, and Qamber Shahdadkot continued to engage communities through meaningful participation to follow-up on the implementation of SIP and SMP, both of which are key documents that detail the series of activities over the academic year. During these meetings CMP and communities jointly reviewed the implementation status, identified challenges, and discussed various possible solutions. The meetings were an ideal forum for CMP to stress the importance of student retention and increasing the enrollment of girls. A total of 4,477 community members participated in these follow- up meetings. Community Meetings

New Enrollment Campaign Academic Year 2017 - 2018 CMP in its initial three years, through its enrollment campaigns and other activities, has achieved remarkable results in increasing demand for education in the targeted districts. CMP engaged a STTA to conduct enrollment trend analysis. The trend analysis report also highlighted a rapid increase in enrollment particularly of girls in CMP schools as compared to non CMP schools. However, at the same time it has been realized that supply issues (i.e. lack of building space within existing schools, and lack of teachers) create challenges for assuring that new students receive a . In addition, there are some areas where no further enrollment campaigns are required because parents are highly motivated and there is no evidence of children not being in school in those areas. Therefore, it is important that the enrollment campaign for the 2017-2018 academic year is tailored in a way to achieve meaningful results. During the reporting period CMP developed a concept note and strategy for the enrolment campaign in coordination with SED. Student Teacher Ratios (STR) and Student Class Room Ratios (SCR) are the main determinants followed by communities with a sufficient number of school-aged children, especially girls, which are out of school. CMP identified those schools in which basic facilities (i.e. space in class rooms and teachers) are available to accommodate more children. New Enrolment Data Collection Since the inception of the program, increasing student enrollment, especially girls, has been the cornerstone of all CMP interventions. CMP has been an effective interface between the community and district government to this end. During the quarter, the CMP field team, with support from the community, enrolled students for the 2016-2017 academic session. CMP continued data collection of student enrollment from schools for the 2016-2017 academic session. This exercise allowed CMP to:  Collect total enrollment data in the schools;  Gauge the effectiveness of community mobilization efforts by parents' interest in sending their children to school; and  Tailor enrollment and retention activities as needed. Community to Community Exchange Visits Community exchange visit is an initiative of CMP, aimed at promoting cross-community learning through the exchanges of experience in the context of SBEP. Under this initiative a community visits another community to learn how they have undertaken steps to improve the functioning of schools, including the organization of different school-related events, implementation of school improvement activities, and school initiatives to increase student enrollment and retention. During the reporting period, CMP facilitated 10 community exchange visits in district Jacobabad, Karachi, Kashmore, Larkana, and Sukkur. A total of Host community is sharing the best practices with 406 participants from CMP districts participated in visiting community during exchange visit the exchange visits. During these community to community exchange visits, host communities shared their key accomplishments, the major challenges they faced, and their methods for overcoming obstacles while visiting communities prepared a learning sheet and wrote down suggestions for how they could implement new approaches in their schools upon their return. This process allowed both (host as visitor) communities to learn from each other while also increasing their self-confidence.

Increased Community Outreach through School Days and Community Recognition Days CMP continued to engage and empower communities to make continuous efforts to expand intra and intercommunity outreach and maximize the impact on the lives of the children in their communities. School days and community recognition days have proven to be an effective tool in this regard. Besides expanded community outreach, these events have also played a vital role in enhancing children’s performance. During the reporting year, CMP, in close collaboration with each community, organized different events to recognize and reward the community’s involvement. The main purpose of organizing school days in CMP-targeted schools was to encourage SMC sub- committees to organize educational activities for themselves and to recognize the performance of students in selected schools.

6. OVERCOMING OBSTACLES Notification for Merging and Consolidation: The District Education Department issued notification regarding a merging consolidation policy which is geographically less likely to match with ground realities because most of the schools that are merged are far from one another. Eventually this will decrease the mobility of students hence a coordination meeting will be conducted with the community and education department for revision of notification. Limited Participation of DOEs in District Level Consolidation Workshops: Due to the busy schedules of district education officials, CMP and sub-contractors witnessed low participation of education officials during consolidation workshops at the district level as well as other community level events. CMP conducted rigorous follow up and ensured participation of DOEs. Teachers Engagement in Exams and Census: Another reason of low participation from teachers in CMP activities is their engagement in exams and the census. There are some activities planned in March 2017 that will be carried forward in next quarter due to such engagements. Enrollment Data: CMP team is facing some difficulties in the collection of new enrolment as mostly merged and consolidated schools have two different general registers. Lack of Participation of Department of Health Officials in Nutrition Component Activities: CMP team Sukkur faced hurdles while conducting meetings with the Health Department as they are totally occupied in other activities and therefore unable to give their time to coordination meetings. This challenge has a trickledown effect on referral mechanisms and coordination with surrounding health facilities.
