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 enrolment in primary, middle, and higher secondary schools. SBEP centers on seven districts in northern Sindh: Dadu, Jacobabad, Khairpur, Kashmore, Larkana, Qamber Shahdadkot, Sukkur and the five towns Bin Qasim, Gadap, Kemari, Lyari and Orangi of Karachi City in Sindh Province. SBEP is comprised of seven component parts: 1) Construction of schools in the areas affected by 2010 floods; 2) Support to GOS policy reforms to merge, consolidate, and upgrade schools through construction of schools; 3) Improvement in early grade reading in primary schools; 4) Community mobilization, with a focus on increasing girls’ enrolment 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. The Sindh Community Mobilization Program (CMP), implemented by International Relief and Development (IRD), is a five-year program 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 reform of merging, consolidating, and upgrading schools; 2) Improve community and District administrations coordination for increased girls’ enrolment; 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 will significantly add value to these objectives: 1) Gender: Mainstreaming of program activities; 2) Water and sanitation (WATSAN): Improved facilities, knowledge and practice; and, 3) Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR): Improved awareness, knowledge, preparation, and practice. Additionally, CMP will be giving small grants to neighboring schools to address needs identified in the school improvement plans (SIPs). The program tracks and supports the construction, merging, consolidation, and upgrading of SBEP schools. Also, CMP works with neighboring schools that fall within designated areas around new schools being built under SBEP and that accord with the specific criteria set by USAID for CMP activities. CMP inclusive community activities are designed to make these educational improvements sustainable by increasing community support for their local schools and advocacy for better educational provision generally.

While continuing the uninterrupted collaboration with Education and Literacy Departments (ELD) at district and provincial level, SBEP’s other components and other non-profit organizations, the CMP team is ensuring that all the deliverables are creating lasting outcomes at the grass-roots level. In this reporting period, CMP team facilitated the ground-breaking ceremony followed by signing of Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between seven School Management Committee (SMCs) and contractor to kick off the construction of schools in district Qamber Shahdadkot. Besides the construction of schools, the CMP team signed 34 grant agreements with School Management Committee (SMC) to implement the small grants program. CMP continued with its efforts to engage communities through their involvement in the celebration of community recognition days, implementation of SMPs, SIPs and other activities. In this reporting period, 152 annual school days, World Environment Day, and Mother’s Day were celebrated in various schools. Events like these demonstrate enhanced community participation and strong involvement in local decision making. Also, these events provide excellent opportunities to engage communities for increased role of women regarding girls’ enrollment. CMP continued to provide capacity building support to SMCs and facilitated the process of making and updating Social Mobilization Plans (SMPs) and School Improvement Plans (SIPs). During the quarter the SMCs updated 38 SIPS and drafted 58 new SIPs. In addition, 44 new SMPs were developed and 38 updated. During the reporting period, CMP in collaboration with other SBEP partners organized inauguration/opening ceremonies of four newly constructed schools; three in district Khairpur and one in district Sukkur. CMP provided trainings to SMC on “Financial Management and Small Grants” to equip the committees to better identify needs and efficiently allocate and spend resources. Sub-committees of 97 schools participated in the trainings. A total of 837 (657 male and 180 female) participants were trained and consequently 52 grants vetting meetings took place to develop grant applications. SMC general body members also participated in this process. The CMP team is playing a critical role in resource mobilization by influencing and encouraging community to revive and enhance philanthropic traditions. CMP team organized school based events for local resource generation in 61 schools and sought in-kind and cash contribution from community members, local notables and philanthropists which is one of the great achievements of the CMP. During the quarter, 176 CMP focused schools were supported in conducting school cleaning activities. Process was initiated for identification and establishment of health and nutrition corners in 333 schools. During the quarter, CMP team continued focusing on gender mainstreaming in all program activities including reviewing small grants applications from gender perspective and dialogues held with communities for inclusion of women in SMCs and subcommittees. 42 dialogues were conducted in which 1,724 female and 772 male participated. Additionally, a district networking meeting was held in Sukkur in which various stakeholders from local and international NGOs and district health and education officials working in the nutrition sector participated. In addition, health and hygiene sessions with students and teachers were conducted in Khairpur and Kashmore districts.

Cluster based model for EMOs: The SBEP Steering Committee in its 13th meeting granted approval to implement cluster based model for EMOs. Under this approach, the management of SBEP construction schools along with its neighboring/cluster schools will be outsourced to EMOs.

This model is also expected to bring efficiency at various levels of management, economy (as measured through per-child cost), Consultative Session on Cluster Based Model for EMOs infrastructure improvement, curriculum enrichment and staff capacity development. One of the primary advantages of this model is the sustainability of improvements brought and impact generated by the SBEP in the cluster schools.

Women perspective on community dialogue

Before Community Dialogue, we were never asked to participate in any decision making body. All community members, even including ourselves used to believe that we can’t provide any input for the betterment of education of our children.

Now, after joining the community dialogues, we as well as male community members have realized that our input regarding the challenges towards girls’ education is more valid then male members’ point of view.

We also feel that we should be part of SMC to contribute our ideas for betterment of education. Women active role in the resource Hawa Suprio, SMC sub-committee member generation: Due to continue efforts for gender mainstreaming by the field team women are taking initiatives and ensuring their participation in School and CMP different activities.

F. CHALLENGES  Staffing of the PPP Node is still a challenge, yet to overcome by the ELD-GOS. The Finance Department has released budgeted amount of PPP Node but a slow recruitment process is hindering the pace at which the strengthening of PPP Node is expected. As government progresses further in procurement of EMOs for the subsequent batches of schools, implementation of the reform is already spreading through policy and operational branches, both horizontally and vertically across various government departments and tiers of administration. Strengthening and institutionalization of PPP Node is now critically essential for foreseeable functions like development of PPP projects, contracts’ administration, contracting, ensuring legal and contractual compliance, financial management, projects’ visibility, and performance monitoring functions, which will require significant additional human, technical, financial, capital, and ICT resources.
