Sindh Community Mobilization Program (CMP) Quarterly Progress Report Y-V, Q-I Contract Award No: AID-391-C-13-00006 October 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 A. 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 focuses on seven districts in northern Sindh: Dadu, Jacobabad, Khairpur, Kashmore, Larkana, Qamber Shahdadkot, Sukkur, and the five towns of Bin Qasim, Gadap, Kemari, Lyari, and Orangi of Karachi City 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 the GOS’s Education and Literacy Department (SELD); 6) architecture and engineering support for school construction; and 7) monitoring and evaluation. Blumont is currently implementing the five-year USAID-funded Sindh Community Mobilization Program (CMP) that commenced in August 2013. It forms a cornerstone of SBEP, particularly component four of the program. CMP itself has four key components: 1) increase communities’ involvement in the GOS’s reform campaign of merging, consolidating and upgrading schools; 2) improve community and district administrations’ coordination for increasing girls’ enrollment; 3) improve child nutrition in selected communities and government schools through research that informs innovation and good practice; and 4) the launch of the Education Management Organizations (EMOs)—CMP’s pilot component. 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, which they identify and prioritize in school improvement plans (SIPs). The program tracks and supports the construction, merging, consolidation, and upgrading of SBEP schools. In addition to the 106 newly constructed schools, CMP also works with 303 non-construction schools (also termed “neighboring schools” due to proximity to construction schools). CMP’s inclusive community activities are designed to make these educational improvements sustainable by increasing community support for their local schools and advocacy for better educational provisions.

Sindh Community Mobilization Program (CMP) Quarterly Progress Report Y-V, Q-I Contract Award No: AID-391-C-13-00006 October 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 B.1 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMPLISHMENTS DURING OCTOBER 1 – DECEMBER 31, 2017
By implementing its fifth annual work plan, CMP started synthesizing efforts by empowering communities to take the lead in coordination, construction, and consolidation-related activities and remained an enabler by facilitating the process. On one hand, accelerated activities within the USAID components retained communities’ trust and support and, on the other hand, successful implementation of school consolidation, merging, and upgrading the reforms and communities’ involvement paved the way for resilience and sustainability. During Year V Quarter I, CMP facilitated three pre-construction meetings in Jacobabad, Kashmore and Karachi, which were followed by signing memoranda of understanding (MOUs) between construction contractors and school management committees (SMCs) of 25 schools. It also assisted communities and contractors in four schools to address conflict and resume construction work. Another highlight of the quarter was the inauguration ceremony of the USAID funded newly-constructed GHS Bhellar, District Sukkur, which was organized by CMP and inaugurated by the US Consul General and Minister for Education, GOS. In addition to ongoing support to SMCs and school construction contractors, CMP disbursed small grants to 32 SMCs from October through December 2017. CMP also witnessed that communities now need very little assistance in developing, implementing, and monitoring social mobilization and SIPs, which is a sign of sustained community mobilization efforts and an indication toward continuity of intervention beyond CMP’s life of project. During this quarter, SMCs developed 12 and updated 290 social mobilization plans (SMPs), provided assistance to seven schools in developing SIPs, while 160 schools also updated their existing SIPs with the help of CMP and SMC executive committees. During the reporting quarter, CMP helped in organizing Universal Children’s Day, Sindh Culture Day, International Day of the Girl Child, and Eid Milad U Nabi. These events garnered huge community participation and expanded outreach to a population of 3,532 in CMP-focused schools. They also enhanced awareness among community members regarding children’s rights, girls’ education, and inter-faith harmony. Based on the multiple rounds of Participatory Action Research (PAR), Formative Action Research (FAR), and Knowledge Attitude and Practice (KAP) surveys conducted in previous quarters and research on health, nutrition, and hygiene messages, CMP and Aga Khan University Human Development Program (AKU-HDP), CMP’s technical partner, developed posters and other IEC material used and disseminated during health, nutrition, and hygiene awareness raising sessions, School Hygiene and Nutrition Committees (SHNCs) training and rollout sessions. CMP conduced 31 SHNCs training programs, trained 708 members and organized health awareness sessions in 12 communities to inculcate healthy behavior among community members. In collaboration with school administration and communities, CMP started a second round of nutrition screening of children between ages five and ten, which resulted in 20,971 screened children from 187 schools in all target districts. CMP received $15,000 worth of resources from Pfizer to set up health corners in 14 CMP-focused schools. During CMP’s local fundraising events, community members, notables, and local philanthropists from 14 schools contributed cash and in-kind gifts, such as furniture for students and teachers, water coolers, and stationery worth PKR 120.055 to improve 14 schools. CMP distributed gifts-in-kind (GIK), such as personal hygiene and school kits, to 2,047 students to foster healthy behaviors in students at school and home and promoted gender mainstreaming in all program activities through orientation sessions with district officials of Larkana, as well as organized community sessions with men and women to prevent early marriages and ensure girls’ retention. In coordination with GOS and EMO, CMP organized a ceremony for signing concession agreements between SELD, GOS, and four EMOs for management of the third batch of 20 SBEP reconstructed schools. CMP assisted the public-private partnership (PPP) node in the implementation of EMO reforms under the third and fourth round of procurement of EMOs. It is also encouraging that district administration and EMOs have started reform implementation, organizing District Support Team (DST) meetings to troubleshoot day-to-day issues. CMP also facilitated technical and financial evaluation committee meetings to finalize key aspects of EMO reforms, such as: hiring of an internal

A significant programmatic accomplishment during this quarter was establishing a partnership between USAID, SELD, and Microsoft Pakistan to invest in SBEP target schools to modernize education in Sindh. SELD and GOS will continue to reap the benefits of this partnership in years to come, and CMP is pleased to mark this scalable and sustainable partnership to promote education in Sindh.

Sindh Community Mobilization Program (CMP) Quarterly Progress Report Y-V, Q-I Contract Award No: AID-391-C-13-00006 October 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 Some of the challenges shared, which the program will address, include: Parents are low-wage laborers and do not have the funds to purchase needed uniforms, shoes, pens, pencils, and classroom furniture; Student bodies are growing due to refurbished and new school buildings, thus additional classroom space is required to accommodate all students; The small grant amount of PKR 150,000 is inadequate to meet each school’s full needs, therefore the amount should be increased; SBEP high schools do not provide 11th and 12th grade class for students to continue their education, which is detrimental to girls who cannot travel independently to such facilities; Parents are unaware of their children’s academic performance beyond annual report cards that are distributed once per year, requiring improved teacher-parent engagement.
Ms. Hopfensperger also reviewed SIPs and small grant improvements with school officials. Head Teachers explained the participatory approach applied to develop, update, and implement these plans. They also reviewed school refurbishment achievements, community contributions, and the resulting updated SIPs.
Conflict Resolution During School Construction Corresponding Indicator: MSF—Number of PTAs or community-based school governance structures engaged in primary or secondary education supported with USG assistance CMP engaged community members and construction contractors to address key issues that were hindering construction progress. The main issues concerned are land, school designs, and shifting of material. CMP’s proactive, consensus-building approach facilitated the restart of construction work. Following are the schools where CMP paved the way for construction work through effective coordination of community, government, and construction contractors. CMP team met with Additional Deputy Commissioner Larkana to resolve the issue of alternate land for Government Boys’ Primary School (GBPS) Pir Jo Goth; The construction work for Government High School (GHS) Phulpota stopped after the community expressed concern that a classroom window had a net facing toward their homes, thus compromising their privacy according to social norms. In another meeting, Halcrow Pakistan ensured they would take up this issue with USAID to alter the window design. During this quarter, CMP organized a follow-up meeting to address this issue. Community members of village Phulpota shared their concern again in a large community meeting in the presence of Additional Deputy Commissioner, and Halcrow Pakistan came up with the suggestion to place black wall paper on the window so as to block the view from the school. The solution was acceptable to the community and helped to resume halted construction work; Another issue identified by GHS Minara Road, Sukkur about the disposed materials, which was also resolved through a coordination meeting with school administration, the contractor, and a Halcrow Pakistan representative. During the construction of GHS Kamal Khan Lund, a man lost his arm and was taken to the hospital and provided necessary treatment by a doctor and para-medical staff. The treatment cost was paid by the construction contractor. The victim asked for further compensation, but the contractor did not agree to provide any. This scenario caused delays in the construction work on halt. Recently, CMP held a meeting with community members, laborers (including the person who lost his arm), as well as the construction contractor. After a detailed discussion, the contractor agreed to clear all the dues and the issue was resolved at the conclusion of the large community meeting.

CMP focused on raising awareness of the prevention of early child marriages and dropout of girls in secondary classes. Early child marriage has been identified as one of the major impediments in girls obtaining a secondary education and therefore the majority of dropouts occur in secondary classes. The events gathered 2,259 participants (557 male 1,702 female), including SMC members, parents, students, EMOs, and SELD officials. The students actively participated by making speeches, presenting tableaus, and engaging in interactive sharing.

The participants appreciated CMP's efforts and hoped that similar events would be organized in the future to promote equal rights for girls. One girl student said that “because of this event, it was the first time people in this village realized the importance of education for girls.” She also said that every girl needs to have their right to education realized. Dialogues for Woman Inclusion in SMC Sub-committees Corresponding Indicator: MSF—Number of PTA or similar "school governance" structures supported The program conducted community-based dialogues for women's inclusion in SMC sub-committees. CMP observed that including women in decision-making bodies created a paradigm shift at the SMC policy level and fostered girls' enrollment by removing rigid barriers. During the reporting period, CMP organized seven community dialogue sessions with the participation of 355 community representatives (102 male and 253 female). As a result of these dialogues, 34 women became members of SMC subcommittees. During the dialogues, women realized their role in the SMCs and, after discussion with male participants, they supported and allowed them to become members. Before these community dialogues, the CMP field team faced resistance for the membership of women from male members and women were not aware about the strength of their role.

Parents were very grateful to CMP for organizing the dialogues for their children, especially for girl students. Most parents in attendance were willing to send their children to schools, but also listed the main causes of dropping out. In Dadu district, parents complained about a lack of facilities in the school, as they did not have a boundary wall or washroom. To address this issue, CMP district team has planned a contribution event with a representative from the Education department, community notables and also requested small grant team to provide support. Furthermore, the second Dadu School’s Head Teacher has punished students on a regular basis, therefore most of the children were absent or dropped out. The CMP Gender Advisor arranged a meeting with the Head Teacher on the same day to share the students' complaint. CMP encouraged the Head Teacher and community to play their role in retaining students. In the third school in Sukkur, parents, particularly mothers, were very motivated to educate their daughters. However, they shared that due to domestic work, most of the families did not allow the girls to continue schooling. Mothers said that involving fathers in the dialogues is beneficial, as they need their husbands' support or permission for their daughters to continue their education. Yet, many of the families ensured the continuation of their daughters' studies. The CMP Gender Advisor instructed the field team to conduct a follow-up meeting and to record the decrease in the dropout rates.

The students shared that due to lack of facilities, such as washrooms, boundary walls, female teachers, and drinking water, they are unable to continue their schooling. One student shared that “due to a lack of boundary wall, we feel harassed and disturbed by boys who are wandering around the school.” In some schools, there is only the head teacher conducting classes while the remaining teachers are absent, which causes children to leave school. There were also some girls who could manage to go to Girls sharing concerns about dropping out with the school in Dadu city; however it was not easy for CMP Gender Advisor at Dadu district everyone. CMP conducted a meeting with community members of this village. During the meeting, the program team shared the girls’ concerns and asked for the community’s support to address the issue of girls’ harassment.

Gender Sensitization Sessions with District Officials Corresponding Indicator: MSF—Number of administrators and officials who completed professional development activities with USG assistance The CMP field team in Larkana organized a district level training on gender mainstreaming for Education Department officials. The objective of the session was to introduce the gender sensitive policies of SELD and to provide an overview of gender policies under the Sindh Education Sector Plan. This includes the girls’ stipend program to retain girl students, establishment of the provincial level Gender Unit, gender focal points at the district level, gender budgeting, women's membership in SMCs, and providing facilities such as washrooms, boundary walls, and female teachers in co-ed schools. There were 30 participants, including DEOs, TEOs, RSU representatives, and head teachers. According to the participants, only two individuals had previously attended the gender training.

Corresponding Indicator: MSF—Number of administrators and officials who completed professional development activities with USG assistance Considering the importance of water and sanitation, CMP integrated these items in its interventions, especially in small grants. During the reporting quarter, CMP approved small grants for 32 schools and ensured that WATSAN requirements, including functional toilets, potable drinking water, and proper drainage were addressed. CCT III: DRR Improved Knowledge, Awareness, Preparation, and Practice
Corresponding Indicator: MSF—Number of administrators and officials who completed professional development activities with USG assistance During the process to restructure SMC sub-committees, CMP outlined DRR knowledge, awareness, preparation, and practices as one of the important roles sub-committee members were expected to fulfill. This was an ideal opportunity for both the program and communities to discuss the concepts of DRR and to increase their awareness. Documentation outreach and communication The CMP Communications team facilitated organizing a school inauguration ceremony for GHS Bhellar. This coordination resulted in extensive media coverage of the event in print, electronic, and online platforms. During the reporting period, the Communications team also facilitated participation in the previously- mention television talk show on News One to discuss CMP’s efforts to increase girls’ enrollment, and the role and inclusion of women in decision-making bodies. Capitalizing on the opportunity, CMP component leads organized program participation in a radio talk show on FM 101 to discuss International Day of the Girl Child. To improve CMP’s visibility locally, the program prepared two types of visibility boards with project branding. Soft boards to display school activities, various notifications, exams, and other schedules, as well as boards outlining SIPs and SMPs will be supplied to all 303 neighboring schools. This effort will ensure the project’s visibility. In December 2017, AKU provided IEC materials related to nutrition. The posters include messages on health, hygiene, and nutrition developed as a result of AKU’s visit to CMP-targeted communities and schools. During Year V, the Communications team will use this material to develop an awareness raising campaign for the nutrition component.

Sindh Community Mobilization Program (CMP) Quarterly Progress Report Y-V, Q-I Contract Award No: AID-391-C-13-00006 October 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 E. CHALLENGES Improving educational officials' understanding of school merging and consolidation CMP is working with District Education Department officials to improve their understanding of the school merging and consolidation policy. In turn, CMP conducted a one-day orientation session with DEOs, DOs, TEOs, and supervisors on the GOS consolidation policy, merging, and upgradation of schools. Limited availability of WATSAN WATSAN is a major issue at the school level, especially at girls' schools, which CMP is addressing through SIP implementation under small grants. It has been learned during community dialogues that a lack of WATSAN facilities in girls’ schools is one of the major reasons girls drop out. WATSAN facilities are in very poor condition in non-construction schools and these issues need to be highlighted at SELD at the provincial level to resolve on a priority basis. Since CMP only provides up to $1,500 for each school and, in some cases, school repair needs and costs exceed available resources, alternate resources need to be identified to complement the small grants component of the program. PPP Node – SELD staffing Staffing the PPP Node is still a challenge SELD-GOS needs to address. The Finance Department has allocated financial resources in the GOS fiscal budget for the PPP Node; however, a slow recruitment process is a hindrance. As the government progresses in procuring EMOs for subsequent batches of schools, implementation of the reform is spreading through policy and operational branches across various government departments and tiers of administration. Strengthening and institutionalizing the PPP Node is now critically essential for foreseeable functions like the development of PPP projects, contracting, contract administration, ensuring legal and contractual compliance, financial management, project visibility, and performance monitoring functions, which will require significant additional human, technical, financial, capital, and ICT resources. Ministry of Interior’s rejection of IRD’s registration application In December 2017, the Ministry of Interior (MOI), Government of Pakistan rejected the registration applications of 21 international nongovernmental organizations, including Blumont. The CMP senior team and Blumont headquarters proactively responded to this situation by engaging a law firm to appeal to the MOI’s letter and initiate the for-profit registration process for Blumont. This issue impacted the pace of activities planned for the last two weeks of December 2017, yet activities will be accomplished with a well-prepared catch up plan.
F. OPERATIONS Annual Performance Appraisals CMP senior management conducted annual performance appraisals of all staff members from November through December 2017. Beyond setting the annual objectives for each staff member, staff members' performance was evaluated to make decisions about their contract extensions, salary increases, and promotions. Renewal of staff health insurance Blumont renewed the health insurance policy for its local staff members and their dependents. Staff members were offered two options (Option A is to avail out-patient department (OPD) and inpatient services and surrender complete medical allowance; Option B is to retain a PKR 5,000 per month medical allowance and avail only in-patient services). All staff members are their declared dependents are covered throughout the country at the best medical facilities.
