Annual Report 2014
Poverty Alleviation Fund (PAF)Kathmandu
Nepal
Community organizations (COs) are at the heart of the Poverty Alleviation Fund’s (PAF) functioning. PAF has helped to form over 25 thousand COs in its 40 programme districts. Over 650 thousand poor households are direct beneficiaries, of which 76 per cent are women and 65 per cent are ultra-poor—with food sufficiency for less than 3 months a year.
Eleven years on the ground, PAF is now a households name as one out of ten Nepali is directly benefiting from its programmes. Reaching out to the most vulnerable groups, especially those who are disadvantaged due to gender, caste, ethnicity or physical isolation, PAF has demonstrated that even a modest amount of resources given to the community can help poor families get on a sustainable path out of poverty.
PAF is currently working in 40 programme districts and 19 Innovative Window Programme Districts. A multi-year innovative programme is under implementation in three districts, namely Chitwan, Makwanpur and Kanchanpur, focusing on the uplift of women, indigenous communities and former bonded labourers, among others. Over 75 per cent of the total budget of PAF reaches directly to the COs of the poor.
Recently, PAF selected 59 partner organizations (POs) for the new set of 15 districts, and the programme shall be launched in these additional districts by the end of the current fiscal year. The remaining 20 districts will be covered through the poverty pocket approach later.
Currently, a total of 360 POs are working with PAF to facilitate COs to carry out social mobilization, provide technical support for need identification, prioritization, preparation and implementation of community sub-projects, among others.
Some important initiatives that were introduced during the reporting year include an amendment in the Cooperative Bylaws, allowing PAF COs to form cooperatives. This would pave the way for aspiring COs to form cooperatives. The new provision, approved by the Department of Cooperatives, allows only PAF CO members to establish and run cooperatives to serve their financial needs. As part of our emphasis to work with the media— at both national and local level, we awarded the PAF National Journalism Award 2071 to three journalists who reported widely on poverty issues.
On the basis of own ground-level experience, feedback and research, we are adjusting our approach in relation to maximum coverage of hard core poor and pocket-based development approach, among others, to make the COs self-sustaining in the long run. PAF is working with its exit strategy, focusing on its strategic thrust to enable the community to go on a sustained path to get out of poverty within a stipulated five-six years of time.
Because PAF targets a specific set of population, these organizations tend to have weak institutional capacity in the beginning. Regular oversight and technical support from NGOs, coupled with easy access to the revolving fund, ensure that these COs become self-sustaining over time. Many have now come together to form cooperatives and federations, and are working beyond just improving the livelihoods of a limited number of people by contributing to agriculture commercialization and institutional strengthening, for example. PAF is currently developing a CO “graduation” strategy. Given the government’s recognition of cooperatives as the “third pillar” of the economy, PAF is in the right direction to ensure sustainability of its interventions.
FOREWORD
Annual Report 2014IV
PAF has forged a strong partnership with the government, at both central and local levels, and non-government organizations (NGOs) at the grass roots level. Local NGOs are central to the operation of PAF as they link it with the COs and facilitate day-to-day activities. PAF has been working closely with the line agencies of the Ministry of Local Development and the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives in the planning and implementation of sub-projects, as well as in securing additional resources.
PAF lays special emphasis on the capacity building of COs, POs and PAF, while coordination and collaboration is accorded high priority. PAF is also strengthening the systematic grievance handling process with stakeholders’ views on Performance Management System of COs, POs and the PAF Secretariat.
As always, the annual budget of PAF is limited to meeting the demands and expectations of the stakeholders—be it the community, POs and PAF secretariat. In some cases, PAF has not been able to allocate budget for many COs that are already registered with it. Expansion of the PAF programme to additional districts also demands additional funding. Therefore, provision of adequate funding is considered necessary to make PAF capable of working effectively to help poor people in programme districts.
Whatever PAF has achieved is the result of the government’s support to it, and it is expected that the government will provide required support so as to continue the work at the grass roots level.
I look forward to receiving support of all in our crusade against poverty.

Annual Report 2014 V
The overriding objective of the development efforts in Nepal is poverty alleviation. Through the Tenth Plan (Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper 2002–2007), Government of Nepal has shown its strong commitment to achieve this. The PRSP’s sole objective was to bring sustainable reduction in poverty through reduction in income poverty level and improving human development indicators. Even after the completion of the Tenth Plan, all the interim periodic plans have laid their special emphasis on poverty alleviation, inclusive growth and development.
Poverty Alleviation Fund (PAF) was established in 2004 to address the exclusive needs of the poor and marginalized by putting them in the driving seat of development efforts. PAF is contributing to bringing the level of poverty down as per the long-term goals of GoN and the Millennium Development Goals.
Poverty is a multi-dimensional phenomenon. We need to understand its complexity and intricacies before chalking out strategies and work plan to deal with it. Equally important is the fact that no individual organization or programme would be able carry out its efforts in relation to poverty alleviation alone. Keeping this fact in mind, PAF, from the very beginning, has adopted a strategy to work together with all development actors—be it an individual or agencies.
PAF would like to express its acknowledgment and gratitude to all the supporters and well-wishers for their support and guidance. Without them, PAF would not have been able to realize its objectives and goals. It gives us immense pleasure to inform that PAF has covered over 650 thousand poor households, who are organized in over 25 thousand COs in 40 programme districts.
I would like express my sincere gratitude to all board members, officials from the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development, Ministry of Poverty Alleviation and Cooperatives, National Planning Commission, District Development Committees, Village Development Committees and different development partners for their incessant guidance, understanding and collaboration with PAF.
The World Bank and the International Fund for Agriculture Development, who have not only provided financial grants but also their global experience and expertise in relation to targeting the ultra poor, have been key partners of PAF.
Most importantly, I would like to acknowledge and commend the support of our COs, POs, CO networks, CO federations, national and local media and civil society representatives, among others. We will continue to work together with these institutions and individuals in the days to come as well.
Last but not the least, I would like to thank PAF Vice-chair and all the members of staff for their support in making the publication of this annual report a success.

Executive Summary
By the end of the reporting period, a total of 25,139 community organizations (COs) of the poor were registered with the Poverty Alleviation Fund (PAF), and agreements were signed with 23,924 COs to carry out different income generation and community infrastructure-related schemes at community level.
During the reporting year alone, agreements amounting to Rs.1.45 billion were signed with 2,077 COs to implement 2,690 sub-projects, which include 2,076 income generation (IG) and 614 infrastructure-related schemes. In cumulative terms, a total of 23,661 IG and 5,126 infrastructure sub-projects were implemented through 27,850 agreements signed with COs to the tune of Rs.14. 56 billion, of which Rs.13.89 billion has already been disbursed to the COs.
With the demand of the communities, different activities related to IG and infrastructure sub-projects are currently being implemented. IG activities are related to agriculture/cropping, livestock, micro-enterprises/cottage industries, trade and skill-based services, while infrastructure sub-projects are related to micro-irrigation, trails, link roads, culverts, bridges, ropeways, electricity/micro-hydro, water mills, water supply, sanitation and community building such as school, health posts/clinics, storage market centres, etc.
PAF has undertaken various initiatives to strengthen the capacity of the COs and to promote them to higher institutions so as to sustain their efforts in the long run. Revolving fund management and training manuals have been updated and enforced to strengthen the revolving fund which is established at the community level. PAF has started enlisting COs in the record of the respective VDCs. Also, informal networks of COs have been formed at VDC level. These networks have helped to raise the voices of the poor in an organized way. It has also helped to establish linkages and pool resources from local government and other development partners to meet the needs of poor communities. The networks have helped to spearhead infrastructure-related projects and establish cooperatives to manage production and marketing.
The Department of Cooperatives, through an amendment in its rules, has allowed PAF COs to form cooperatives with the involvement of only CO members. A pilot cooperative has been registered and established in Dhading district. PAF has also awarded the PAF National Journalism Award 2071 to three journalists who reported on poverty issues. Prime Minister and Chairperson of PAF Board Rt. Honorable Sushil Koirala gave away the award at a function marked to commemorate the International Day for Eradication of Poverty on October 17, 2014.
As part of its emphasis on institutional development, PAF is encouraging COs to consider other models of institutional development such as cottage industries and micro-enterprises, among others. A concept note on activity-based pocket area development has been prepared to encourage quality production and activities. A pocket area development guidelines has been prepared and endorsed by the Board. A CO graduation assessment manual is being implemented at the local level to assess the level of maturity of COs.
During the reporting year, PAF has achieved 78 per cent of the physical targets and 75.87 per cent of the financial targets of the programme. Community institutionalization process is also emerging in some of the districts where community has felt the need to federate themselves to carry out certain functions.
Reaching out to the Excluded Poor Community Beneficiaries and Social InclusionPartner organizations (POs) selected by PAF are facilitating COs of the poor. As such, a total of 360 POs are working with communities. As of the end of the reporting period, these POs are facilitating the PAF programme in 1,692 VDCs (355 in Initial 6 Districts, 805 in Additional 19 Districts, 474 in 15 B1 Districts, 58 in Innovative Window Programme [IWP] Districts). Most importantly, a total of 701,528 poor households (HHs) are now being served: 191,867 in Initial 6 Districts, 393,472 in Additional 19 Districts, 96,795 in Additional 15 B1 Districts and 19,394 in IWP Districts.
Annual Report 2014XIV
Additional 14,227 households have also benefitted through the NDM-World Bank Programme in 77 additional VDCs. So far, PAF has covered 662,028 poor households as CO member beneficiaries. Among CO beneficiary members, 64.8 per cent fall under the hard core poor category (food sufficiency less than 3 months among the criteria fixed by the community), 25.6 per cent fall under the medium poor category (food sufficiency more than 3 months but less than 6 months), 9 per cent fall under the poor category (food sufficiency more than 6 months but less than a year) and 0.2 per cent fall under the marginalized non-poor category.
Likewise, among CO member households, 27 per cent are Dalit, 30 per cent are Janajati, 3 per cent are Muslim, 29 per cent are Brahmin/Chhetri and 11 per cent belong to other ethnicity. Gender-wise, 76 per cent of the CO members are women.
Similarly, of the key position holders in the COs such as President, Treasurer and Secretary, 32 per cent are Dalit, 30 per cent are Janajati, 28 per cent are Brahmin/Chettri, 9 per cent from other ethnicity and 3 per cent
are Muslim. Gender-wise, 64 per cent of the key position holders in COs are women.
When percentage beneficiaries of PAF by ethnicity is compared with district percentage ethnicity composition of 25 PAF districts, it becomes clear that PAF is focusing on socially excluded groups such as Dalits and Janajatis. PAF covered almost 100 per cent of the Dalits in these initial 25 districts. Overall, PAF has till now benefited nearly 100 per cent of the poor households in 25 districts (473,958 poor households out of CBS data, 412,220 poor households in 25 districts).
All five districts of the Karnali zone are covered by the programme. Till date the programme has reached 134 VDCs, i.e. 100 per cent of 134 VDCs in Karnali, benefitting 59,491 poor households.
Out of the 146 border VDCs of Bara, Bardiya, Chitwan, Dhanusa, Kanchanpur, Kapilbastu, Mahottari, Parsa, Rautahat, Saptari, Sarlahi and Siraha districts, PAF has helped in the formation of 1,195 COs, covering 103 VDCs (i.e. 71% of the VDCs in Terai border VDCs), benefiting 32,107 CO member households.
Beginning from the current fiscal year, PAF is planning to introduce income-generating schemes, skill development and sanitation programmes for the benefit of the urban poor amid a rise in urban poverty.
Programme Cost SharingPAF is investing 78 per cent (i.e. Rs.14,594 million) of the total sub-project cost. Community sharing is 16 per cent (6% in cash, i.e. Rs.1,131 and 10% in kind, i.e. Rs.1,796 million) of the total sub-project cost, whereas VDC/DDC and other development partners are sharing 6 per cent (i.e. Rs.1,231 million) in the total sub-project cost. In IG sub-projects, community is sharing 9 per cent in cash and 2 per cent in kind, whereas in infrastructure sub-projects, it is 2 per cent in cash and 21 per cent in kind. Apart from community contribution, DDC/VDCs

are sharing 4 per cent and other collaborating partners are sharing 13 per cent of the cost in infrastructure sub-projects.
Out of the total PAF investments, 70 per cent have been made in IG sub-projects and 30 per cent in infrastructure sub-projects. About 87 per cent of the PAF investments in IG sub-projects have been established as revolving fund being managed by COs at the community level.
Collaboration in Sub-project ImplementationCollaborative efforts are going on to supplement and complement different programmes running in the district to bring discernible impact in considerably less time. There are several examples of collaboration with line agencies, local governments and donor agencies to implement the programme and sub-projects in the communities at district level. Several memorandums of understanding (MoUs) have been signed with different organizations at central level to facilitate different tasks as well as to facilitate collaboration in implementation of sub-projects at the community level.
Community Capacity BuildingThe ultimate goal of PAF is capacity enhancement of COs. PAF has been imparting various training/orientations related to their entrepreneurial capacity development, skill enhancement and institutional development-related training, orientation and exposure to enable them to become independent and self-managing beyond the PAF programme. PAF has been conducting various training for the CO members.
Among the various types of training provided to the COs, the major ones are: leadership and group management training, to enhance skills of the CO members to lead and manage their organizations; training in account-keeping, to enhance capacity to keep up-to-date book-keeping of the organization; training in revolving fund, to manage the revolving fund effectively; training in entrepreneurial skill enhancement; and training
in technical skill enhancement, to transfer skills and technology to members to carry their business/activities effectively. Furthermore, leading members of COs are taken to appropriate sites and venues to expose them to, and share with them, successful and innovative approaches adopted by other organizations and institutions.
PAF has been conducting various training for the CO members. The following table shows the cumulative progress under this category.
To cope with and fulfil the demand for technical human resources, different technical training, including boring for water, basic furniture-making, electrician, driving, mason, among others, are being conducted at the community level.
Among the various types of training provided to the CO members, the major ones are: leadership and

group management training, to enhance skills of the CO members to lead and manage their organizations; account-keeping training, to enhance the capacity to keep up-to-date book-keeping of the organization; training in revolving fund, to manage the revolving fund effectively. Similarly, training in entrepreneurial skill enhancement and training in technical skill enhancement to transfer skills and technology to members to carry out their business/activities more effectively. Furthermore, the leading members of COs are taken on exposure visits to share knowledge and innovative approaches adopted by different organizations and institutions.
Outcomes and ResultsDuring the reporting period, a social re-assessment of 40,085 households of the sample COs with maturity period of three years or more was carried out. A comparative analysis of the social re-assessment data with the baseline social assessment shows that household-level assets and school enrolment of children, food sufficiency duration for individual households, and construction and use of toilet has increased.
The household-level gross income (from all sources) of the re-assessed 4,085 households has increased by 68.5 per cent in real terms. Similarly, the household-level income of about 68 per cent of the total households has increased by at least 15 per cent.
The results show that the percentage of households with food insufficiency of 3 months or less dropped from 63.9 per cent to 37.2 per cent, with a reduction of 58.3 percentage points, for the CO member households.
This effect is seen stronger for Janajati households. The proportion of food insecure households among Janajati decreased from 56.7 per cent to 18.0 per cent—a reduction of 68.2 percentage points. While for Dalit households, the percentage decrease of food insecure households is 85.4 to 35.7, with a reduction of 58.2 percentage points.
The revolving fund assessment carried out during the reporting period shows that communities have been managing their revolving fund satisfactorily. Revolving funds have provided an opportunity to the poor to access funds—otherwise inaccessible— through formal financial institutions, to initiate income generation activities. COs are managing and operating these funds by themselves and are responsible for setting interest rates and loan payment conditions.
The revolving fund data of 10,328 COs shows that the fund provided to the COs by PAF has increased by 19 per cent, which includes the interest charged against
the loans taken by members, community contribution and funds collected from other sources. Similarly, 93.0 per cent of the 290,783 CO members have accessed the fund at least for one time to initiate income-generating activities. Out of the total members accessing the fund from the revolving fund, 60 per cent have used the fund two times or more. The assessment also shows 87.5 per cent of the total fund has been invested as loan to members, rest of the fund is in banks and cash in hand in COs.
The assessment further shows that the average rate of interest on loan is 9.9 per cent. However, the interest rate is slightly higher in newer COs. Furthermore, the average rate of loan repayment is 78.4 per cent.
Furthermore, during the reporting period, CO Institutional Capacity Assessment was carried out. The assessment assessed the capacity of the COs in terms of various aspects of institutional development, identified the areas of strength and weaknesses of COs, and developed a strategy for CO graduation to make them able to operate in a sustainable way. The assessment was done among 12,870 COs against 30 indicators1, which were graded into four groups by the sum of indicator scores (each on the scale of 1-4, making the maximum score of 120). Around 12 per cent of the COs were found fully mature and able to function without additional capacity building or supervision support; around 82 per cent required some additional capacity-building support in managing the organization or needed further social mobilization efforts. The remaining COs still needed substantial hand-holding for some time.
Budget ExpenditureThe total expenditure in FY060/61 (2003/04), FY2061/62 (2004/05), FY2062/63 (2005/06), FY2063/64 (2006/07), FY2064/65 (2007/08), FY2065/66 (2008/09), FY2066/67 (2009/10), FY2067/68 (2010/11), FY2068/69 (2011/12), FY2069/70 (2012/13) and FY2070/71 (2013/14) were Rs.5.78 million, Rs.247.32 million, Rs.493.50 million, Rs.1,210.30 million, Rs.1,875.48 million, Rs.1,647.20 million, Rs.2,481.5 million, Rs.2,601.28 million, Rs.2,998.69 million, Rs.2,342.25 million and Rs.2,322.02 million respectively.

1.1 IntroductionNearly a quarter of the Nepalese population still live below poverty line. The majority of the poor live in rural areas and are engaged in traditional and subsistence farming on small plots of low quality land, have limited access to credit, infrastructure, markets and basic social services, often because of remoteness, and rely heavily on seasonal migration and remittance.
Poverty Alleviation Fund (PAF) was established in 2004 as a special and targeted programme to bring the poor and disadvantaged groups and excluded communities in the mainstream of development by putting them in the driving seat of development efforts. PAF is contributing to bringing the level of poverty down to 10 per cent in twenty years in pursuant with the long-term goal of the Government of Nepal (GoN) and reduce poverty by half by the year 2015 as per the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). With the recent addition of 15 districts, the total number
of programme districts of PAF has reached 40. The remaining thirty-five districts will be covered through the poverty pocket approach.
1.2 The Strategy PAF has taken the strategy of enabling the poor through social mobilization and capacity building to organize themselves and obtain quality basic services in a cost-effective and sustainable manner with their direct involvement. It uses partner organizations (POs) to help poor vulnerable people and their community groups or organizations to implement the programme components, and they include local bodies, NGOs/CBOs and private sector organizations. It also seeks to build partnership with various organizations working in its areas of operation at the village, district and national levels to ensure holistic development interventions in order to bring discernible impact on poverty reduction and scaling up the programme in considerably little time.
1CHAPTER PAF: BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Annual Report 20142
1.3 The ApproachPAF has followed six guiding principles: namely (a) Targeted at the poor (Antodaya); (b) Social Inclusion (Samabesi); (c) Demand-driven approach (Maag Anusar); (d) Transparency (Pardarsita); (e) Direct funding of community organizations of the poor (Prataksha Bhuktani); and (f ) Community Institutional Development (Samudayako Sansthagat Bikash).
Social mobilization, Income generation, Small community infrastructure development and Capacity building are the four major programme components of PAF. The target beneficiaries of PAF are poor women, Dalit, Janajatis and vulnerable communities living below poverty line.
1.4 Institutional ArrangementsEstablished by an ordinance in 2004, PAF is being governed by an Act since 2006. Thus, PAF is an autonomous, independent and professional organization governed by separate law. The twelve-
member governing board, chaired by the Prime Minister, is responsible for policy guidance and programme approval.
Vice-chairperson and five members are appointed by the government from among development professionals, while five other ex-officio members include National Planning Commission (NPC) Secretary, chairperson of the Association of District Development Committees of Nepal (ADDCN), chairperson of the Association of Village Development Committees of Nepal (AVDCN), chairperson of the National Women Commission (NWC) and chairperson of the National Dalit Commission (NDC).
The PAF secretariat consists of over six dozen members of staff, mostly professionals, recruited on competitive basis. A total of 360 POs work on behalf of the poor in different districts, including through regular and innovative programmes.
Annual Report 2014 3
This chapter gives an overview of the annual achievements against the targets and overall implementation status of different programme components during the reporting period as well as the cumulative achievements.
2.1 Annual Achievements against TargetsAs part of its annual planning, PAF had set targets in its key components: social mobilization, income generation, community infrastructure, capacity building and innovative sub-projects. Table 1 summarizes the achievements of the reporting year against the annual targets.
During the reporting year 2013/14, the achievement in income generation sub-projects was far above the target, i.e. 89 per cent, while for infrastructure-related projects, the achievement was 73 per cent. In the case of innovative sub-projects, PAF had set an annual output of 195 sub-projects, while the achievement has stood at 37 (19%). Similarly, in case of expenditure, the achievement was 75.87 per cent out of the project expenditure target of Rs.3,060,658,640.00.
2.2 Component-wise progress status
2.2.1 Social Mobilization
The objective of social mobilization is to build the capacity of the community in preparation, design, implementation, operation and management of community sub-projects to enhance their livelihoods.
Demand-driven Community Proposal and Direct Funding
COs, Sub-projects and InvestmentsAs of the end of the reporting year, a total of 25,139 COs were registered with PAF (5,496 in the Mountain
Region, 10,517 in the Hilly Region and 8,570 in the Terai Region and 556 in the Innovative Window Programme [IWP] districts).
Of the total registered COs, PAF has inked agreements with 23,924 COs (5,320 in Mountain, 9,837 in Hilly and 8,237 in Terai districts and the remaining 530 in the IWP districts) to carry out different IG and community infrastructure-related sub-projects.

Annual Report 20144
In the case of income generation, the activities most demanded by the communities are related to agriculture, livestock, cottage industries, trade and skill-based services. Similarly, infrastructure sub-projects are related to micro-irrigation, link roads, culverts/bridges, ropeways, electricity/micro-hydro, water mills, water supply, sanitation, school and health post building, among others.
Till the end of previous fiscal year 2012/13, agreements amounting to Rs.13,118.796 million were signed with 21,847 COs, while, during the reporting year, agreements amounting to Rs.1,467.587 million were signed with additional 2,077 COs. In cumulative terms, agreements amounting to Rs.14,593.908 million were signed with 23,924 COs till the end of the reporting year, i.e. FY2013/14.
Programme Cost Sharing (investment—IG versus Infrastructure, PAF versus Community)PAF invested Rs.715.507 million in IG activities during the reporting year against the total cumulative investment of Rs.10,217.713 million till the end of the reporting year. In case of infrastructure schemes, PAF invested Rs.752.080 million during the reporting year, while cumulative investment stood at Rs.4,376.195 million.
Overall, out of the total PAF investment, 70 per cent has been made in income-generating sub-projects and 30 per cent in infrastructure-related sub-projects.
Region-wise, PAF has invested the highest amount in IG sub-projects in the Hilly Region, followed by the Terai, Mountain and IWP districts. Similarly, investment trend is maintained in the infrastructure sub-projects.
In cumulative scenario, average community sharing is 16 per cent (6% in cash and 10% in kind) of the total sub-project cost, whereas VDCs and DDCs and other development partners share 6 per cent of the total sub-
project cost. In total, PAF has invested 78 per cent of the community sub-projects cost.
In the case of income-generating sub-projects, community shared 9 per cent in cash and 2 per cent in kind, while in the case of infrastructure sub-projects, it is 2 per cent in cash and 21 per cent in kind. DDC and VDC contributions are significant with 4 per cent in the case of infrastructure sub-projects, while other

organizations contributed 13 per cent of the total cost in infrastructure sub-projects.
Facilitation of Community through POs POs are selected by PAF to facilitate COs of the poor. The facilitation work of POs includes organizing COs, enhancing COs’ capacity development in planning activities, carrying out detailed feasibility, survey design and estimates, proposal writing during preparatory phase, and providing technical assistance and monitoring and supervision during implementation phase.
As such, 354 POs are working with communities in 40 programme districts. Furthermore, six POs are working for Innovative NDM-World Bank Programme.

Till the end of the reporting year, the POs are involved in facilitation work in 1,692 VDCs (355 in Initial 6 Districts, 805 in Additional 19 Districts, 474 in 15 B1 Districts, 58 in IWP Districts) and COs are working in those VDCs.
Reaching out to the Poor and Social Inclusion PAF has taken the strategy of the poor community organizing themselves to prepare, implement and manage their programmes and sitting in the driving seat, with decision-making authority.
The participatory social assessment and community well-being ranking process identified the poor community members as primary beneficiaries at the settlement level. They are organized into COs to plan, implement and manage their sub-projects. As entry point of PAF programme at settlement level, social mapping and participatory social assessment are the primary social mobilization steps. The settlement-level social assessment has shown that 69.8 per cent of all households are identified as poor households and thus included as CO members in the PAF programme.
CO MembersDuring the reporting year, PAF was able to reach out to 38,685 poor households and organize themselves as CO members to carry out different activities aimed at improving their livelihood. Till the end of the reporting year, a total of 662,088 CO member households benefited from PAF assistance.

Of the total 662,088 CO members as of the end of the reporting year, a total of 38,685 were covered during the reporting year alone. The coverage ratio is the highest
in the Hilly Region. When the region-wise breakdown of the CO members is compared, the Hilly Region holds the highest share, with 43 per cent, followed by the Terai and Mountain regions, with 33 and 21 per cent respectively, while IWP districts have a meagre share of 3 per cent.
CO Members by Poverty Ranking Among beneficiary members of COs, 64.8 per cent fall under the hard core poor (Ka) category (food sufficiency less than 3 months among the criteria fixed by the community), 25.9 per cent fall under the medium poor (Kha) category (food sufficiency more than 3 months but less than 6 months), 9.2 per cent under the poor (Ga) category (food sufficiency more than 6 months but less than a year) and a very small percentage of members fall under the marginalized non-poor (Gha) category.
Similarly, in terms of distribution of members by programme area, the Terai region has the highest number of hard core poor, with 72 per cent, followed by the Mountain Region, with 65 per cent, and the Hilly Region, with 60 per cent.
CO members by Caste and EthnicityOut of the total 662,088 CO member households till the end of the reporting year, 27 per cent are Dalit, 30 per cent are Janajati, 24 per cent are Chhetri, 5 per cent are

Caste and ethnicity-wise distribution of CO members by region shows that Dalit dominate in the Terai region, Janajati in the Hilly Region and Chhetri in the Mountain Region.
CO Members by GenderFemale CO members have the lion’s share, with 76 per cent. They are highest in the Hilly Region, followed by the Terai and Mountain Regions.
CO Members by Key Position Holders The president, treasurer and secretary are considered as key positions in COs. There are a total of 69,975 key position holders within the COs. Gender-wise and ethnicity-wise breakdowns of key position holders are presented in charts. Of the total key position holders in the PAF-supported COs, 63 per cent are female in line
with PAF’s affirmative approach of the empowerment of poor women. Caste and ethnic representations in key positions show that 34 per cent are Dalits, followed by 28 per cent Janajatis and Brahmin/Chhetris each, 2 per cent Muslim and 8 per cent other ethnicity. At the
regional level, Dalits dominate as key position holders in the Terai and Chhetris dominate in the Hilly Districts. Janajati dominate in the Mountain Region and IWP districts.
Community Institutional Building Community institutionalization process is also emerging in some of the districts where the community has felt the need for federating themselves for certain functions. A total of 92 multipurpose cooperatives

and 1,013 federations of COs have been formed as per the felt need of the community. Informal networks of COs are being formed in each VDC in the process of institutionalization. Based on ground experience, PAF is working on formulating strategies for sustainable institutional development of COs.
During the reporting year, PO evaluation criteria were revised to make them more simple, based on experience, and a CO graduation assessment guideline was approved. Another equally important document is the draft for pocket area (activity-based) development: implementation guidelines and concept paper for cooperative development, among others.
2.2.2 Income Generation and Micro-enterprise
A wide range of income generation activities are being supported at the community level, based upon the potentials and opportunities available. The potentials include the availability of raw materials and resources, access to market, skills and traditional occupations, etc.
POs provide information to community members and facilitate them to identify potential income generation activities. Nepal being an agricultural country, more than 80 per cent of its population relies on this sector. Income generation activities supported by PAF are related to agriculture and livestock sectors as majority of the Nepalese are landless or nearly landless but make their sustenance through the agriculture sector.
IG Activities: Sector, households and investmentBy the end of FY2070/71, PAF has signed agreements with 23,924 COs to implement 27,850 sub-projects. Out of these sub-projects, 23,661 are related to income
generation activities. The ratio of number of IG sub-projects to the total number of sub-projects increased from 55 per cent in FY2061/62 to 83.64 per cent in FY2064/6, and it stands at 76 per cent in FY2070/71.
In terms of investment, the share of the IG sector in the total investment continuously increased to 83.5 per cent in FY2063/64 from 61 per cent in FY2061/62, then it started to decrease and it stands at 49.7 per cent in FY2070/71. The trend of PAF investment shows that investment in the IG sector continuously increased till FY2063/64 and then started to decrease. Income generation activities being the first choice of the poor, IG investment again increased in FY2067/68 due to increased coverage in 15 new districts and then it started decreasing.
IG activities investment by sector and region Income generation activities can be grouped into different sectors like agriculture, livestock, service, trading, manufacturing and others. PAF investment by sectors as well as households involved in each sector is presented in table and chart. The following data on PAF

investment in income-generating sub-projects does not include the investment related to capacity building of COs and their institutional management cost.
People living in rural areas have limited access to basic infrastructures like road, electricity, market and information, resulting in higher demand for livestock activities as income generation sub-projects.
The livestock sector shows the largest portfolio of IG activities by investment as well as households involved. About 72 per cent of PAF support is disbursed to this sector and 69 per cent of IG beneficiary households are engaged, followed by trade-related activities (16%), agriculture-related activities (7%), service sector (4%), manufacturing and other activities (approximately 1%).
In terms of investment, out of the total 402,000 households involved in livestock husbandry, about 34 per cent are engaged in milk production through buffalo and cow raising, 59 per cent in meat production, 5 per cent in ox/he-buffalo raising for farming/breeding and the remaining 2 per cent in transportation. Out of the total investment of Rs.6,614.53 million in the livestock sector, about 48 per cent is in meat production, followed by 44 per cent in milk production, 5 per cent in breeding/farming and 3 per cent in transportation.
The variations in communities’ demand across geographical regions and accessible and non-accessible areas show that the communities are smart in selection of activities based on accessibility, existing natural resources and potential markets opportunities.
In the Terai region, market for fresh milk is relatively high and accessible, and products can easily be marketed with little time and effort for collection and transportation. Nearly 56 per cent of the households (with 70% of total investment in the livestock sector in the region) pursuing livestock as part of their income generation activity in the Terai region are rearing buffaloes and cows for milk production, followed 31 per cent (19% of total investment) for meat production and the remaining 13 per cent (11% of total investment) for farming/breeding purpose. The trend has not changed over many years.
Similarly, in the Hilly Region, 67 per cent of the households (61% of the total amount) have been found engaged in meat production by rearing goat, pig and poultry, among others. In the same region, 24 per cent of the households (35% of the total amount) of livestock raising is done for milk production, followed by 9 per cent of the households (4% of the total amount) for farming/breading and transportation purposes. In the case of the Mountain Region, 75 per cent of the households (70% of the total amount) are involved in meat production, followed by 18 per cent (21% of the

total amount) in milk production and the remaining 7 per cent in transportation purpose.
In addition to animal husbandry, PAF has provided support in its associated areas such as animal treatment fund, establishment of veterinary services and developing village-level health workers to supplement the livestock component. In view of the largest investment portfolio in the livestock sector, due emphasis has been laid on establishing linkages with market and services.
Apart from livestock, the communities have demanded diverse activities in the agriculture sector. The activities thus demanded are the system of rice intensification (SRI), vegetable farming in open field to tunnel house, seed multiplication, cash crop production and fruit farming.
Out of the total 63,308 households, 59 per cent are engaged in vegetable farming, followed by 15 per cent in fruit farming, 14 per cent in agro-forestry, 7 per cent in cash crop farming, about 4 per cent in beekeeping and the rest in fishery and others.
Vegetable farming has been found very lucrative and effective in increasing the income of the poor within a short interval of time in areas where market is easily available for fresh vegetables. Under the IWP, PAF has also supported landless and marginalized people in Chitwan district to engage in vegetable farming in lease land. This programme has helped increase income of the poor, thereby creating full-time employment for them.
In mountain districts like Bajura, green vegetable farming was outright impossible during winter season before PAF intervention. But following PAF intervention, commercial vegetable farming is being practised even in winter season with the introduction of pit green house and solar tunnel house. Such vegetable farming technology/methodology has been successfully demonstrated, and this proven and tested case has shown high potential for scaling up in other areas in the days ahead.
Irrespective of better yield but comparatively longer gestation period, the demand for fruit farming is low. Nonetheless, a promotional activity of fruit farming

Trading is the second largest portfolio among IG activities. Altogether 79,544 households are engaged in trading businesses, where PAF has invested Rs.1,432.54 million. Of the total investment, 75 per cent is in retail shop, followed by 8 per cent in agriculture and forest-related enterprises, 7 per cent in livestock and livestock product-related businesses, 4 per cent in garment business and the rest in other different types of activities.
Within the trading sector, retail business has the largest investment in all ecological belts: more than 65 per cent in the Terai, 85 per cent in mountain districts and more than 87 per cent in Hilly Districts. Animal business, wood product business, agricultural inputs, food item-related business are other major activities in this sector.
Overall, 23,000 households are engaged in the services sector, where PAF has invested about Rs.324.4 million. Out of the total investment, Rs.315 million has been invested in income-generating social services and the rest in social services like support for school and health posts, scholarships, etc. Tailoring business, having 29 per cent investment, is one of the largest components of the social sector, followed by transportation (28%), small hotels/teashops (14%), repair and maintenance (7%), and the rest is in other activities like livestock support, agro-vet services, etc.
A total of 14,058 households are involved in manufacturing businesses, where PAF investment is about Rs.140.5 million. Out of the total investment, about 51 per cent is in non-agro product-related
manufacturing activities, followed by 43 per cent in forest product-related, agro-processing-related (4%) and the rest is in fruit processing.
Diverse IG activities are undertaken by the community members. Of them, livestock sector is the major activity as compared to other IG activities. It means, there is still great challenge to provide informed choices to the people so that they are able to select suitable IG activities based on their needs, local resources, knowledge, skills and market potentials. A lion’s share of investment in the livestock sector demands development of a mechanism for providing adequate veterinary services in rural areas. To sustain the diverse interventions, PAF should accord high priority to enhance the qualitative capacity of both POs and COs.

Box: PAF Supporting Rural Artisans through JSDF ProjectJapan Social Development Fund has provided a grant of US$2,646,777 million to enhance the quality of life of the poor people who are engaged in artisanship and cultural industries. Signed on February 17, 2012, the project is now being implemented in nine districts, namely Terahthum, Dhanusha, Lalitpur, Gorkha, Myagdi, Rupandehi, Kapilbastu, Dailekh and Bajura. Most of these districts are regular programme districts of PAF.
The project will be launched first in Terahthum, Dhanusha, Lalitpur and Gorkha districts and then move to other districts.
PAF has hired Asian Heritage Foundation, based in New Delhi, as Technical PO in August, 2014 in order to support artisans in multiple design development and marketing of their products. Similarly, PAF will mobilize existing local POs for social mobilization and institutional development of artisan communities.
In order to launch the JSDF project in the districts, a district-level visit programme was organized in Dhanusha and Terahthum districts in December 2014 by a team comprising PAF, AHF and WB personnel. The objective of the visit was to assess the existing skill set of artisans. During the field visit AHF team (Technical PO) assessed the skills sets of artisans and decided to intervene with Mithila Art and Sikki Grass Crafts in Lohana VDC and Janakpur Municipality Ward no. 12, 14, 15 and 16 of Dhanusha district on pilot basis. Similarly, Dhaka products in Jaljale, Oyakjung and Solma VDCs of Terahthum district were selected.
The World Bank is the administrator and PAF is the implementing agency of the project. The project is entitled “Making Markets Work for Conflict Affected in Nepal”.

Community’s Contribution in Infrastructure-related InvestmentTo construct infrastructures, communities are also contributing to the total investment. They are contributing in cash as well as in kind. Collection of local materials and labour is the main job of community while executing community infrastructures. So, there is a variation in community contribution between different types of infrastructure. Rural access schemes which were completed during the reporting year have highest contribution from communities. They have contributed Rs.57.87 million for Rural access schemes, which is 26.0 per cent of the total cost. It is followed by the Water supply sub-projects, with 24.6 per cent contributions, while Community Building has attracted the least contribution of 20 per cent. On average, there is 23 per cent community contribution in the infrastructures completed during the reporting year.

Similarly, in cumulative scenario, infrastructures under miscellaneous category have maximum contribution (26.8%) from the communities, followed by Rural access (26.1%). In total, 24.3 per cent contribution has been made by the community for community infrastructures.
Contribution from local bodies DDC and VDC are also contributing in PAF-supported infrastructure sub-projects. These institutions have contributed Rs.60.92 million during the reporting year alone and a total of Rs.220.18 million in cumulative terms. Their contribution in rural energy is the highest, followed by Rural access. This shows that local bodies are more interested in rural energy and Rural access. They have contributed Rs.170.06 million in cumulative and 46.61 million for rural energy sub-projects during the reporting year. This shows that coordination between PAF and local bodies is increasing in recent days. The DDCs and VDCs have contributed Rs.7.78 million for Rural access schemes completed during the reporting year, while Rs.27.85 million has been invested in Rural access in cumulative scenario. Further analysis shows that communities are forcing local bodies to contribute to sub-projects that demand larger investment.
Investment from other sourcesBesides DDC and VDC, other donor and line agencies, including the Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC), rural energy Development Programme (REDP) and District
Education Offices (DEOs) have invested in PAF-supported infrastructure schemes. They have invested Rs.587.73 million in cumulative terms and Rs.148.49 million during the reporting year alone for infrastructures. Out of the total investment, 87 per cent is in the rural energy sector in both cumulative scenario and reporting year.
Ratio of investments by different agencies In cumulative terms, local bodies and other development agencies are more interested in coordination in rural energy. They are contributing 9.9 per cent and 31.0 per cent of the total cost of infrastructure respectively. Contribution from PAF is the highest, with 74.8 per cent for community building category of sub-projects, which include health posts, school buildings, rustic stores, market sheds, cooperative buildings, etc and the lowest for rural energy, where PAF’s contribution is only 36.70 per cent of the total cost. Percentage of community contribution is the highest (26.8%) for Miscellaneous and the least (22.4%) for rural energy-related sub-projects. On average, PAF has contributed 65.70 per cent of the total cost, whereas CO’s contribution is 24.30 per cent, DDC and VDC’s contribution is 2.72 per cent and other’s contribution is 7.3 per cent.
For infrastructures completed during the reporting year, PAF, communities, DDCs/VDCs and other line agencies have contributed 67.04, 22.58, 2.92 and 7.46 per cent of the total cost of infrastructure respectively. Contribution

Salient Features of PAF-supported Infrastructure and Per Unit Cost
Infrastructure for Rural AccessDuring the reporting year, 4 bridges (RCC: 2, Suspension: 2, of 113 m length), 14 culverts (73 m length), 68 rural roads (146 km length) and 4 trail roads (10 km length) were completed. Cumulatively, 34 bridges (1,454 m length), 140 culverts (592 m length), 280 rural roads (509 km length) and 18 trail roads (39 km length) have been completed.
Here, the per unit cost of bridge in recent fiscal year is higher than that the cumulative figure because the recently constructed bridges were shorter than the earlier ones.
BuildingsTill now, PAF has supported construction of schools, health posts, community building and agriculture-related buildings (cellar store, market shed, milk/vegetable collection centre). In FY2070/71, 57 school buildings (rooms: 189) were constructed and maintained. Four health posts (18 rooms), 35 agriculture-related buildings (266 rooms) and 16 other types of community building
(29 rooms) were constructed, whereas, cumulatively, the figures are 416 school buildings (1,719 rooms), 15 health posts (15 rooms). During the reporting year, 396 rooms, having 16,898 m2 plinth area, were constructed and 2,635 rooms, having 95,460 m2 plinth area, were constructed in cumulative terms. The unit cost of the recently completed buildings is Rs.227,400/room and Rs.6,277/m2 area and in cumulative, its value is 345,090/room and 8,087/m2 plinth area in the reporting year.

the 'Start and Improve Your Business (SIYB)' and 'Micro-enterprise Creation and Development (MECD)' training through POs. The training is conducted before the demand-led proposal preparation of COs. A total of 1,586 members of COs have been trained in entrepreneurship skill development and marginalized group business management. These training themes help CO members to identify appropriate and marketable micro-enterprises and income-generating activities in the local context.
2.2.4.2 Institutional Development and Institutional Model Development-related Capacity Development ActivitiesThe ultimate goal of PAF is the institutional development of COs. PAF has been providing grants to COs to launch various income-generating and infrastructure-building activities. Community Revolving funds are created from the grant provided for income-generating activities. Hence, institutional strengthening of COs is imperative for sustainable management and utilization of the community revolving fund. Therefore, apart from income-generating training, PAF has been conducting institutional development-related training like account, revolving fund and savings and credit management, leadership development and group management, public audit, institutional model development (cooperative education and creation) to the CO members concerned.
A total of 2,255 CO members were trained in institutional development-related themes like account,
revolving fund and savings and credit management, leadership development and group management and public audit.
2.2.4.3 Animal Husbandry, Agriculture-related Capacity Development ActivitiesApart from income-generating and institutional development-related activities, PAF also imparts awareness creation and their small IG-related training and orientation to CO members. A total of 3,984 CO members received training and orientation related to animal husbandry.
2.2.5 Capacity Development of POsCapacity development of COs is interlinked with the capacity development of POs. Hence, capacity development of POs is necessary to deliver capacity and institutional development of COs. Hence, PAF has been imparting institutional development-related Training of Trainers (ToT), refresher training and orientation to POs so that they can impart the same training themes to COs through POs. They include social mobilization, leadership development, group management, account, revolving fund and savings and credit management, social audit and institutional model development, i.e. cooperative education, cooperative creation and cooperative business plan preparation.
A total of 1,152 PO staff members were trained in institutional development and institutional model

Similarly, 15 events of coordination and review meeting were organized with DDCs and lines agencies in order to coordinate and strengthen the PAF programme in the district.
Similarly, in order to integrate the safe migration perspective in the PAF social mobilization process, one-day training 'Linking Safer Migration to Social Mobilization' was organized in July 2012. The training was conducted in collaboration with Free the Slaves (FTS), an INGO. Altogether 25 participants from twelve districts, namely Jhapa, Bara, Sindhupalchowk, Rasuwa, Kathmandu, Ramechhap, Bajura, Jajarkot, Kailali, Bardiya, Kapilbastu and Pyuthan participated in the training. The objectives of the training were to strengthen the training in safer migration; enhance conceptual understanding of trafficking and slavery and the consequences of trafficking and unsafe migration/forced migration; and develop an action plan to link safer migration to the PAF social mobilization processes. During the training, the participants got an opportunity
to learn and reflect on the concept of trafficking and national and international policies on the issue.
2.2.6 Capacity Development of PAF SecretariatCapacity development is one of the major factors for organizational development. Capacity development of POs and COs is also linked to capacity development of the PAF secretariat. PAF has internalized this from the very beginning and has been organizing capacity development initiatives for PAF staff. The following are the capacity development activities conducted by for capacity strengthening of the PAF secretariat.
(a) In-house Workshops and MeetingsIn order to review and strengthen the PAF programme in the districts, a two-day Programme Review Meeting was organized on February 5–7, 2014 at the PAF Secretariat. All Portfolio Managers participated and presented the progress of the districts as well as share the lessons learned and challenges they faced.
During the reporting year, PAF organized an orientation programme to welcome and introduce and give orientation on the PAF Programme for newly appointed staff. This orientation has built the capacity of the newly appointed staff to introduce and know the process and working modalities of PAF. In addition, it organized dozens of workshops and in-house meetings for PAF staff members.

3CHAPTER 3.1 Monitoring and EvaluationMonitoring and evaluation (M&E) is an inextricable part of PAF’s mission, providing an analytical basis for programmatic decisions, allowing PAF to learn from its experience, and share the impact and lessons with different stakeholders.
PAF's M&E Division undertakes or facilitates various research and studies, surveys with other units of PAF, enriching the organization’s overall programmes and strategy.
Its monitoring data is developed on five different databases, which support the process of working with POs and COs and monitoring the sub-project activities (Figure 1). These databases provide a rich source of information on PAF activities and have been increasingly analysed to improve planning and address weaknesses in the project implementation process and to identify areas of strength that can be scaled up.
PAF’s monitoring focuses on the progress, process, compliance and the results of project activities. The
organization has been encouraging all stakeholders to be involved in the monitoring process of the project activities.
As community is at the driving seat of all PAF programmes, monitoring by the community is essential for the compliance and results of the programme. Thus, the monitoring subcommittee of each CO is responsible to monitor the activities carried out by the CO concerned. Besides, the social mobilizers assigned by the POs are responsible for facilitating the monitoring subcommittee for effective monitoring and also monitor the activities of COs themselves.
Besides, the programme coordinators, supervisors and board members of the POs are responsible for monitoring or tracking the progress and the compliance made by the COs.
The Portfolio Managers (PMs) and the consultant assigned by the PMs monitor the activities of the POs as well as COs. Similarly, on periodic basis, the representatives of the local bodies (DDCs, VDCs and other line agencies) carry out monitoring visits in the PAF working areas of the districts concerned.

The PAF central level also carries out monitoring visits in the districts on periodic basis. Likewise, PAF Board Members, representatives from line ministries and representatives from the World Bank carry out monitoring visits on periodic basis.
Furthermore, PAF has been reporting its progress against the set indicators on regular basis. For details refer to Annex 12.
3.2 Results of Monitoring Data Analysis
3.2.1 Social Re-assessment/ Beneficiaries’ Assessment
A social re-assessment of 40,085 households of the sample COs which are in three or more than three years of maturity period was carried out during 2013/14. The comparative analysis of the social re-assessment data with the baseline social assessment shows that household-level assets increased, school enrolment of children increased, food sufficiency duration of individual households improved, and construction and use of toilet increased.
The household-level gross income (from all sources) of the re-assessed 4,085 households increased by 68.5 per cent in real term. Similarly, the household income of about 68 per cent of the total households has shown an increase by 15 per cent or more.
One of the indicators that PAF uses to identify the targeted population is the food sufficiency level. Households are divided into four different groups under this category: hard core poor (those with less than 3 months of food security either via own production or via other dependable sources of income), medium poor (those with 3 to 6 months of food security), poor (those with 6 to 11 months of food security) and non-poor (those with 12 or more months of food security). The other is whether the household is from a Dalit or Janajati community.
The results show that the percentage of households with food insufficiency of 3 months or less dropped from 63.9 per cent to 37.2 per cent, with a reduction of 58.3 percentage point, for the CO member households.
This effect is seen stronger for Janajati households. The percentage of food insecure households among Janajati households decreased from 56.7 per cent to 18.0 per cent, a reduction of 68.2 percentage point. For Dalit households, food insecure households decreased from 85.4 per cent to 35.7 per cent, with a reduction of 58.2 percentage point.
3.2.2 Status of Revolving Fund
A revolving fund assessment was carried out during 2013/14, which shows that the community has been managing their revolving fund satisfactorily. Revolving funds have provided an opportunity to the poor to access funds, otherwise inaccessible, through formal financial institutions, to initiate income generation activities. COs are managing and operating these funds by themselves and are responsible for setting interest rates and loan payment conditions.
The revolving fund data of 10,328 COs shows that the fund provided to the COs by PAF has increased by 19.0 per cent, which includes the interest against the loan taken by its members, community contribution and funds collected from other sources. Similarly, among the total CO members (N= 290,783), 93.0 per cent have accessed the fund at least one time to initiate income-generating activities. Out of the total members accessing the fund from the revolving fund, 60 per cent have used the fund two times or more. The assessment also shows 87.5 per cent of the total fund has been invested as loan to its members, and the rest of the fund is in bank and cash in hand in COs itself.
The assessment also shows that the average rate of interest on the loan is 9.9 per cent. However, the interest rate is slightly higher in newer COs. The average rate of repayment of the loan is 78.4 per cent.
3.3 CO Maturity Assessments A CO Institutional Capacity Assessment was carried out during the reporting period. The assessment assessed the capacity of the COs in terms of various aspects of institutional development and identified the strengths and weaknesses of the COs and developed a strategy for their graduation to enable them to operate in a sustainable way.
The assessment was done among 12,870 COs against 30 indicators2 and graded into four groups by the sum of indicator scores (each on a scale of 1–4, making the maximum total score of 120). Around 12 per cent of the COs were found fully mature and able to function without additional capacity building or supervision support; around 82 per cent of the COs required some additional capacity building support in managing the organization or needed further social mobilization efforts. The remaining COs still needed substantial handholding for some time.
2 Each of the following six assessment categories has five indicators: (i) social situation; (ii) economic situation; (iii) capital and resource mobilization; (iv) coordination, partnership and communication; and (v) good governance and institutional development; and (vi) capacity building and sustainability.
Annual Report 2014 25
3.4 Communications, Outreach and PublicationsPAF is giving high emphasis to communications as it is critical to create demand from beneficiaries to ensure transparency and foster partnership and learning across stakeholders.
The PAF communication strategy aims to disseminate PAF approach, procedure and rules to the stakeholders, develop the external and internal communication capacity of PAF, and identify and develop communication messages for PAF, as well as disseminate best practices and success stories.
Some of the major activities that were initiated and continued during the reporting year were:
n Publication of Newsletter 'Jeevika' in both English and Nepali
nDynamic web sites constructed and regularly updated
n Publication of annual reports—both national and district-based
n Success stories and case collection
nDifferent interaction meetings and workshops at the local and national levels
n Extensive media coverage at the local and national levels
nOrientations programmes and stakeholders consultations at the local level
n Publications of PAF operating guidelines
n Launching of E-Chautari
n PAF Journalism Award for excellent reporting on poverty issues
Since PAF work has now increased its coverage and depth, there is a growing need to generate greater awareness based on the results. A proactive communication and outreach strategy will be highly important in this regard. PAF will work with all stakeholders to keep them abreast of the important developments and disseminate information at national and international forums.
3.5 Grievance Handling in PAF Since 2013, PAF has been developing a grievance handling system to record and respond to complaints on its practices, policies and procedures at the centre as well as at the grass roots level.
A concept note of PAF grievance handling mechanism was developed and a subcommittee of the board members was also formed to oversee and supervise the grievance handling system. PAF has developed
Annual Report 201426
direct e-mails to the Vice Chairperson, Executive Director and the Programme Chief in its website. It has already installed a suggestion box at its central office. All complaints coming from direct e-mail to the Vice Chairperson, Executive Director, website e-mail, or telephone, or any other means are recorded and registered in a complaints register, with the updated status of the complaint and remedial actions taken.
So far, complaints have been made regarding field-level misuse of PAF fund, activities of PO, exclusion of hard core poor and selection of POs in the districts, among others. PAF Programme Division Chief directly oversees all grievance-related activities.
Annual Report 2014 27
PAF gives top priority to partnership and collaboration with different agencies (governmental and nongovernmental) at both central and district level. The different partnership and collaboration efforts are discussed below.
4.1 Partnership with MoFALDThe Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development (MoFALD) and PAF, on October 8, 2010, signed an MoU for a strategic alliance to alleviate poverty through synergic efforts between the two institutions.
The MoU has helped to increase coordination and linkages during project planning, implementation, monitoring, reporting and review while implementing targeted poverty alleviation and empowerment initiatives at the local level. As part of the MoU, PAF is closely involved in coordination with the District Social Mobilization Committees (DSMCs) at DDCs for social mobilization and programme monitoring. All sub-projects of targeted communities are presented at VDC Council and later endorsed by the DSMC and District Council. Based on this agreement, all PAF programme districts have been working closely with the DDCs concerned.
During the reporting year, district review meetings were conducted in all PAF programme districts. As part of the MoU with the Ministry, COs are enlisted with the VDCs concerned and CO’s programmes are endorsed by the ward citizen forum concerned and acknowledged by the VDC Council meeting.
4.2 Partnership with MoADThe Ministry of Agriculture Development (MoAD) and PAF signed an MoU on January 30, 2013 for a strategic alliance to alleviate poverty through technical backstopping on agriculture and livestock extension services. As per the MoU, PAF is providing income generation and infrastructure support grants to the COs/groups for continuity of programme, while the Ministry mobilizes its networks to facilitate them. After
the understanding, a series of meetings were held between PAF and District Agriculture Development Offices and District Livestock Development Offices.
4.3 Partnership with WFPPAF and United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) signed an MoU on August 30, 2010 for a strategic alliance to alleviate poverty and food insecurity in the Mid and Far-Western Hilly and Mountain regions.
Following the MoU, some initiatives have been taken to implement community infrastructure sub-projects, in which WFP has provided vital food and nutrition assistance equivalent to community contribution. Some jointly commissioned projects include small-scale irrigation, water harvest tank, cellar store, cash crop farming, micro hydro and rural agriculture road and enhanced farming techniques and poultry farming and other relevant training. A total of 23 small infrastructure schemes were implemented in Achham, Dailekh, Humla, Jumla and Mugu districts. Out of the total, seven are small irrigation, eight micro hydro, four drinking water schemes and one each is energy mill, improved ghatta (mill), water harvest tank and cellar store.

4.4 Partnership with Heifer and LFLP Practical Action Nepal, Heifer International Nepal, Forest, Leasehold Forestry and Livestock Programme (LFLP) and PAF signed an MoU on July 29, 2011 to establish synergies in poverty alleviation efforts at the grass roots and ensure increased opportunities for the poor and disadvantaged people.
Based on the MoU, capacity-building efforts were made for poor and disadvantaged people by Heifer International in Rautahat and Sindhuli districts and by the LFLP in Sindhupalchowk district. Heifer International has selected one VDC each in Rautahat and Sindhuli to build the capacity of CO members in its Cornerstones. PAF provided revolving funds to the COs, whereas Heifer provided training and mobilization support. In Sindhuli district, CO members were awarded the best prize for excellent work under the support of Heifer.
4.5 Partnership with HelvetasAn MoU was concluded between PAF and Helvetas-Nepal on February 7, 2011 to work together so as to enhance the livelihood of poor households. Based on the MoU, activities such as riverbed farming in Bardiya, Rautahat and Sarlahi districts and micro irrigation and drinking water scheme in Kalikot and Dailekh districts were carried out during the reporting year.
A total of 500 CO households in Bardiya, Rautahat and Sarlahi districts are involved in riverbed farming. Helvetas Nepal provides technical support to train local resource persons and follow-up technical support in the farming period.
Based on this MoU another understanding was also signed with LILI/Helvetas and WARMP/Helvetas for construction of micro irrigation and drinking water schemes in the common programme districts. LILI/Helvetas and WARMP/Helvetas will provide support in technical as well as in community contribution part and PAF would support the cost of external materials. During the reporting period, four micro irrigation and two drinking water schemes were implemented in Kalikot.
Another area of partnership with Helvetas is related to the employment sector. As per the MoU, PAF CO members can access the training programme from the Helvetas Employment Fund (EF) programme that enhances the technical capacity of CO members. After graduation from training, CO members can start their own enterprises utilizing the revolving fund at the CO level or get employment with other employment providers. Dozens of CO members of Kanchanpur, Bardiya, Kapilbastu, Pyuthan have benefitted under this partnership arrangement.
4.6 Partnership with AEPCUnder an agreement with the Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC), PAF and AEPC are working together in 137 micro hydro sub-projects in 21 districts. The following table shows the district-wise partnership in micro hydro projects with the AEPC.

Box: Community Challenge Fund (CCF) ProjectThe project is a pilot designed to investigate the role of information and incentives in improving the health of expectant and new mothers and children in the age group of 0–2 years (target group for future reference). The focus of the project is the first 1,000 days of a child’s life. The pilot will cover four districts (Sarlahi, Sindhuli, Ramechhap and Rasuwa) that have been selected using the criteria agreed to with the Ministry of Local Development and based on access to services (water and sanitation) and nutritional status. The districts cut across the mountain, Hilly and Tarai areas of the country. Also, the pilot will be run in the first instance for 12-18 months.
Annual Report 2014 29
This chapter discusses the outcomes of the some of major studies relating to PAF results on the ground.
During the reporting year, a few outcome studies were done, including detailed analysis of the report of the impact evaluation study conducted by the Centre for Economic Development and Administration, Tribhuvan University.
An independent PAF impact evaluation conducted in six sample and three control districts shows that the programme impact on real per capita consumption growth was 31 per cent over a two-year intervention period. This is impressive in the context of the same analysis, which indicates that, in the absence of the PAF programme, the targeted households would have recorded about negative 2 per cent growth.
The estimated net programme impact on per capita consumption (in real terms adjusted for price inflation) growth is 15 per cent for PAF IG participant households, 31 per cent for PAF money recipient households and 42 per cent for those beneficiaries who have received money for at least six months. The net impact on growth in per capita consumption is even higher for Dalit and Janajatis and for the poorer segments of the population, implying programme’s ability to distribute growth towards the targeted groups.
The evaluation data shows a 10 percentage point decrease in the incidence of food insufficiency and 6 percentage point increase in school enrolment rate for children aged 5–15 years. The programme effect is also seen in access to services (agriculture centres, community forest groups, farmers' groups) and women’s empowerment. For child malnutrition (stunting, underweight) a higher positive impact is seen for children in the age group of 1–2 years amongst PAF-supported households.
5.1 Monitoring and Impact Evaluation Results1. In addition to the MIS, an independent impact
evaluation has also been integrated into the
design of the programme. The PAF Impact Evaluation (IE) shows that the programme impact on real per capita consumption growth was 31 per cent over a two-year PAF intervention period. This is impressive in the context of the same analysis, which indicates that, in the absence of the PAF programme, the targeted households would have recorded about negative 2 per cent growth. Significant and positive PAF impacts are also seen in terms of other welfare indicators such as food sufficiency, child schooling, access to services and women’s empowerment.

The IE has been a long-term partnership between the PAF Secretariat, Tribhuvan University, which carried out the surveys, and the WB task team, which provided technical assistance during the design phase and carried out the analysis. Data for the PAF IE comes from two rounds of survey of 3,000 households from 200 villages. The baseline was carried out in late 2007 and the follow-up of the same households in early 2010. The survey questionnaire is adapted from the Nepal Living Standards Survey (NLSS) and includes detailed information on consumption and income, socioeconomic and demographic issues, including education, health and nutrition, housing conditions and physical assets, migration and remittances, employment, social environment, community relationship, voice and participation. For comparability with the national household survey-based welfare measures, PAF survey includes a very similar consumption module and follows the same consumption aggregation method. The IE analysis uses panel households (2,774 out of 3,000), half of which are PAF beneficiaries (treatment) and the rest non-beneficiary (control) households. Outcome indicators on PAF beneficiary households and carefully matched non-beneficiary households are compared for the periods before and after the initiation of the PAF programme. This method is known as difference-in-difference combined with propensity score matching. The estimated net programme impact on per capita consumption (in real terms adjusted for price inflation) growth is 15 per cent for PAF IG participant households, 31 per cent for PAF money recipient households

and 42 per cent for those beneficiaries who have received money for at least six months. The net impact on the growth in per capita consumption is even higher for Dalits and Janajatis and for the poorer segments of the population, implying the programme’s ability to distribute growth towards targeted groups.
3. Both the GoN and the WB agreed that the findings of the rigorous IE provide important contribution to results-based decision-making and an assurance to all stakeholders that the PAF programme is a very sound investment in poverty alleviation. These findings have been discussed with high-level policy-makers from line ministries, the National Planning Commission (NPC), the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers (OPMCM) and with the Development Partners (DPs). It has been agreed that the independent impact evaluation process would continue on the same sample to observe long-term impact of income-generating programmes as well as community infrastructure initiatives.
Welfare Effects5. IE results show a significant increase in real per
capita consumption of PAF households. Based on a sample of households drawn from six of the 19
PAF districts in Phase II, the results show that the households who received PAF money for at least 6 months saw their real per capita consumption increase by more than 42 per cent. The IE results show an encouraging trend in PAF’s ability to reach its targeted group as well. While the real per capita consumption increase for Dalits and Janajatis was 30 per cent, the increase was about 16 per cent for the three poorest quintiles of households, as measured by the baseline survey of 2007.
5. Impact on other welfare indicators is also positive and significant. The data shows a 10 percentage point decrease in incidence of food insufficiency and 6 percentage point increase in school enrolment rate for children aged 5–15. The programme effect is also seen in access to services (agriculture centres, community forest groups, farmers' groups) and women’s empowerment. For child malnutrition (stunting, underweight) a higher, positive impact is seen for children in the age group of 1–2 years amongst PAF-supported households. There are, as yet, no significant differences evident between treatment and control groups on indicators associated with community/social capital (trust, respect, relationships between different ethnic groups, community disputes, etc.), although the overall trend for both groups is positive.
Annual Report 2014 31
Targeting6. The impact results are consistent with the PAF’s
objective of targeting the poorest households and support monitoring data results as well. Of the many criteria that PAF uses to classify the poor, one is the level of food sufficiency. Households are separated into four different groups under this category: hard core poor (those with less than 3 months of food security either via own production or other dependable sources of income), medium poor (those with 3 to 6 months of food security), poor (those with 6 to 11 months of food security) and non-poor (those with 12 or more months of food security). The results show that the percentage of households with food insufficiency of 3 months or less dropped from 13.8 per cent in 2007 to about 5.5 per cent in 2010—a reduction of more than 60 per cent—for the PAF beneficiary households (defined as those engaged in PAF-supported income-generating activities). The reduction was only about 6.8 per cent for non-beneficiaries. Similarly, the percentage of households with food insufficiency of 6 months or less decreased from 40 per cent in 2007 to about 33 per cent in 2010—a reduction of about 17.5 per cent—for PAF beneficiary households. There was no reduction for non-beneficiaries during this period, and, in fact, there was an increase in food insufficiency of these households by about 9 per cent.
Access to and Use of Services7. With the second phase of PAF II still ongoing,
poor households with access to improved infrastructure facilities number more than 49,000. The IE results show that the school enrolment rate for children from households engaged in PAF-supported income-generating activities increased by more than 10.5 percentage points. The enrolment rate was even higher for children from Dalit or Janajati households. In contrast, the number was only about 4.4 percentage points for the control households (or those not involved in such activities). While there was no obvious difference between the PAF beneficiaries and the
non-beneficiaries in the use of health services/facilities, the beneficiary households were found to be making more use of agricultural centres, community forest services and farmers' groups. The increased use of such services supports the monitoring data findings that PAF beneficiaries are investing in agriculture-related opportunities and reaching out to service providers to improve and develop these investments.
5.2 Performance Audit Report (2012)
The Office of the Auditor General has conducted a comprehensive Performance Audit in five programme districts (Sindhuli, Rautahat, Dadeldhura, Pyuthan and Siraha) covering 125 COs and 300 CO members in 2012.
The study has shown that the PAF programme has covered mainly poor communities and the programme was selected and implemented in a participatory way. Participatory decision-making process at the community level has increased the feeling of community ownership and transparency of work. Also, the CO members have stated that they have raised their income and savings after the implementation of the PAF programme. The study shows that the community-based revolving fund was used in income generation-related activities and the loan was provided to individual CO members only for their benefit through collective decisions.

6.1 Financial Planning and ManagementPAF Financial Management System consists of three pillars, namely Financial Planning, Financial Management and Financial Reporting. Financial management is directed by the Applicable Accounting Standards, which is accepted by both the GoN and the World Bank. It also fulfills the requirements of POs. Financial Management System of PAF is governed by its Financial Management Manual.
PAF accounting system is based on cash basis. It maintains all books of accounts relating to receipts and expenditures. PAF maintains its books of account on computerized accounting software, Fin App. III.
For effective implementation of PAF activities and monitoring of documents, regular auditing is done by internal and external auditors. M/S Kuber and Company was assigned as internal auditor for FY2069/70 and FY2070/71. Similarly, external audit is carried out by the Office of the Auditor General.
For effective planning and monitoring of funds, PAF has signed separate MoUs with Rastriya Banijya Bank (RBB) and Nepal Bank Limited (NBL). PAF has opened main accounts and, along with main accounts, separate bank accounts are opened for PAF operating expenses and for programme expenses. Also, RBB and NBL have opened an operating bank account for each CO in the districts concerned.
PAF prepares Implementation Progress Report (IPR) on a trimester basis for review by internal management and reporting to the World Bank. The report comprises different sections, including brief description of project progress. The IPR is the comprehensive report that includes various reporting formats, which cover financial, physical progress, contract expenditure and procurement information. The report 2A discloses the information on sources and uses of funds. Likewise, 2B is for reconciliation statement of designated account and the projection for the forthcoming trimester.
Review of physical progress section provides all information on the achievement against plan with

7.1 Lessons PAF’s current initiative to build the community’s capacity to manage revolving fund and operate the sub-projects and raise the awareness of the community through functional literacy will be further intensified. Social mobilization will be given high priority for this. Considerable input will be given to establish COs’ linkages with basic health, education and youth training.
Provisions for innovation and special programmes will be renewed and emphasis will be given to replicate and scale up successful innovations. PAF will continue its efforts to explore alternatives to livestock and agriculture-based activities for the landless poor.
As PAF is maturing, technical assistance for activities under high demand needs to be provided regularly and attention should be paid to the quality of service providers. This is an important factor in ensuring that efforts made by communities are sustained and serve to bring them permanently out of poverty. A new system of PO performance evaluation with involvement of COs has been going on for the past two years. This process will be further improved in the days to come.
Efforts will be given to increase collaboration with the private sector, governmental agencies, local governments and donor agencies at all levels to implement the programme and sub-projects in the communities to bring marked impact in considerably less time by complementing and supplementing each other’s effort. MoUs were signed with different organizations to facilitate collaboration. PAF’s efforts will be to materialize them in implementation to benefit the poor while exploring further collaborative efforts in the future.
Increased governmental and civil society ownership in the programme will be achieved by regularizing productive workshops, reviews and coordination meetings with stakeholders at central, regional and district levels. In addition, monitoring and supervision visits by central level and district governmental agencies, DDCs, VDCs, civil societies, political representatives and journalists in the PAF project sites will be organized regularly. Besides, central-
level monitoring from PMO, NPC, Ministry of Cooperatives and Poverty Alleviation and other line Ministries will be carried out.
Community institutionalization is taking place with the formation of CO federations, multipurpose or single purpose cooperatives and VDC-wise informal networks of COs as per communities’ felt need. PAF will accord top priority to formalizing (and legalizing) these institutional development processes while ensuring that poor communities gain maximum benefits from these institutions. For sustaining income-generating activities initiated by communities, important initiatives will be taken to establish linkages with financial institutions, market as well availability of insurance safetynet.
Special focus will be put on marginalized castes while implementing interventions in the district. Simultaneously, pocket area interventions will be synchronized in the potential pockets.
PAF is working with its exit strategy focusing on its strategic thrust to enable the community to go on a sustained path to get out of poverty within a stipulated five or six years of time. In this line, PAF will work on the pocket area development approach by building on the potential strengths of the area. At the same time, special support will be provided to poor and marginalized communities to secure their livelihood. Moving ahead, PAF will pay increased attention to research and development, monitoring processes and outcomes, improving financial management and capacity building of COs, POs, local bodies and PAF.
7.2 ChallengesIn view of the wide variety of activities undertaken within the sub-project, the challenges faced in ensuring sustainability of sub-projects include the linkage with market for sustaining income-generating activities as well as the availability of insurance safetynet, particularly for livestock. PAF is also to explore an alternative to livestock-based activities for the landless poor as the huge demands are mainly livestock-related. Another important issue before PAF is to build the community capacity to manage revolving fund and
CHAPTER 7LESSONS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Annual Report 201438
operate sub-projects and raise the awareness of the community through functional literacy. Also, there is a need to adopt different approaches for poorest districts and districts with greater access and livelihood opportunities and special support to vulnerable poor, backward ethnic groups such as Mushahar, Dom, Chamar, Raute, among others.
7.3 The Future StrategyBased on the lessons learned, PAF is now working on the expansion of its programme to new VDCs and
districts, and important initiatives are being taken for the institutionalization of COs as cooperative or other forms of institution as per their decision and link with financial institutions and markets where the programme is already in implementation. Also, PAF is laying special emphasis on the capacity building of COs, POs and PAF while coordination and collaboration are being accorded high priority. This year onwards PAF is strengthening its grievance handling process with stakeholders’ views on the effective Performance Management System of COs, POs and the PAF Secretariat.

Annex 19: Summary Results of Follow-on Impact Survey 2010
Poverty Alleviation Fund
Monitoring and Impact Evaluation Results
1. PAF’s monitoring data is developed on 5 different databases which support the process of working with partner and COs and monitoring the sub-project activities (figure 1). These databases provide a rich source of information on PAF activities and have been increasingly analysed to improve planning and address weaknesses in the project implementation process and to identify areas of strength that can be scaled up.
2. In addition to the MIS, an independent impact evaluation has also been integrated into the design of the programme. The IE has been a long-term partnership between the PAF Secretariat, Tribhuvan University (TU) (that carried out the surveys) and the WB task team (that provided Technical Assistance-TA during the design phase and carried out the analysis). Data for the PAF Impact Evaluation (IE) come from two rounds of surveys of 3,000 households from 200 villages. The baseline was carried out in late 2007 and the follow-up of the same households in early 2010. The survey questionnaire is adapted from the Nepal Living Standards Survey (NLSS) and includes detailed information on consumption and income, socio-economic and demographic issues, including education, health and nutrition, housing conditions and physical assets, migration and remittances, employment, social environment, community relationship, voice and participation. For comparability with the national household survey based welfare measures, PAF survey includes a very similar consumption module and follows the same consumption aggregation method. The IE analysis uses panel households (2774 out of 3,000), half of which are PAF beneficiaries (treatment) the rest non-beneficiaries (control) households. Outcome indicators on PAF beneficiary households and carefully matched non-beneficiary households are compared for the periods before and after the initiation of the PAF programme. This method is known as difference-in-difference combined with propensity score matching.
Consumption Effects1. The estimated net programme impact on per capita consumption (in real terms adjusted for price inflation)
growth is 13% for PAF income-generating (IG) participant households, 28% for PAF money recipient households and 49% for those beneficiaries who have received the money for at least six months. It is not a surprise that these impact estimates are larger for money recipients but it is interesting to note that this effect remains strong for those who have had the funds for some time and have invested them in IGAs. The magnitudes of these estimates are impressive across all three categories of treatments both in terms of per cent change and absolute change. For example, money recipients for more than 6 months recorded on net a 49 per cent growth and Rupees 6,900 (approximately US$100) absolute change in real per capita consumption in just over two years of time. These results are all statistically significant and robust across different matching algorithms. The higher levels of welfare impact over time may suggest that IGA revenue is contributing to the welfare of these households, a result that would be desirable from a policy and sustainability point of view.
2. The net impact in the growth in per capita consumption is even higher for Dalit and Janajatis, implying the program’s ability to distribute growth towards targeted groups. The net effect for money recipients among this caste/ethnic group was an increase in real per capita consumption of 34 per cent, compared to 28 per cent for the overall sample of the same treatment category.
Food Security Effects: 1. Chronic food insecurity is a particularly important concern in Nepal and substantial amount is spent per year
on public works programmes aimed at alleviating hardship for food insecure households. Sustained food price inflation remains a concern and an estimated 3.7 million people are currently food insecure. The impact of high prices and food insecurity is most severe on economically, geographically and socially marginalized communities. Since Nepal’s poorest households spend more than 75% of their income on food, high prices will continue to affect poverty alleviation efforts. The analysis estimates that the net PAF impact on incidence of food insecurity (as defined as self-reported food sufficiency for six months or less) is 10 percentage points
Annual Report 201480
decline when the treatment group is PAF money recipients, and 14 percentage points decrease among money recipients at least 6 months prior to second-round survey. These effects are stronger for Dalit and Janajati households. However, there is no impact for PAF IG households (the base treatment category), possibly implying that the self-reported food sufficiency indicator (measure of perceived change in household’s ability to increase their food consumption) is not affected by PAF participation alone when the household is yet to receive funds and start an IG activity. Once again, these results are quite robust across different matching alternatives.
School Enrolment Effects1. Due to PAF, school enrolment rate among 6-15 year old children increased by a net 7 percentage points
for PAF IG households, by a net 9 percentage points for PAF money recipient households, and a net 12 percentage points for PAF money recipients for more than six months. These are all notable and statistically significant impacts. While child education is not a direct outcome associated with PAF intervention, one can think of at least two ways by which a treated household would change its behaviour in relation to this outcome. First, PAF households are part of the larger PAF community organization (CO) are and likely to benefit from social-networking and mobilization. Second, actual and perceived positive change in income (PAF funds) will likely reduce potential constraints to sending a child to school.
Child Underweight Effects1. For child malnutrition, measured in terms of underweight, the impacts of PAF are as not strong as they are
for other outcome indicators. Nevertheless, incidence of underweight among children under 5 years of age is estimated to decrease by 5 to 10 percentage points. The results are however not statistically significant and also do not hold across different matching techniques and across multiple treatment groups. We take this as a sign of overall trend in the right direction and could see significant effects in the next couple of years.
Other Effects1. There are, as yet, no significant PAF impact evident on indicators associated with community/social capital
(trust, respect, relationships between different ethnic groups, community disputes, etc.), although the overall trend for both groups is positive. Similarly, while there is no significant impact of PAF programme on the use of health services/facilities, the effects are qualitatively positive on the use of agricultural centres, community forest services, and farmers' groups.
Targeting1. The targeting results are consistent with PAF’s objective of targeting the poorest households and support
monitoring data results as well. Of the many categories that PAF uses to classify the disadvantaged, one is the level of food sufficiency. The other is whether the household is from Dalit or Janajati caste/ethnicity category. For example, the probability of being selected as PAF money recipient goes up by 25 percentage points if you are from a Dalit/Janajati household. Similarly, one per cent decrease in per capita consumption at the baseline is associated with 15 percentage points increase in the probability of being selected for PAF.
2. The impact results are also consistent with PAF’s targeting the poorest households. Among other categories that PAF uses to classify the poor, one is the level of food sufficiency. Households are separated into four different groups under this category: hard core poor (those with less than 3 months of food security either via own production or other dependable sources of income), medium poor (those with 3 to 6 months of food security), poor (those with 6 to 11 months of food security), and non-poor (those with 12 or more months of food security). The results show that the percentage of households with food insufficiency of 3 months or less dropped from 13.8% in 2007 to about 5.5% in 2010, a reduction of more than 60%, for the PAF beneficiary households (defined as those engaged in PAF-supported income-generating activities). The reduction was only about 6.8% for non-beneficiaries. Similarly, the percentage of households with food insufficiency of 6 months or less decreased from 40% in 2007 to about 33% in 2010, a reduction of about 17.5%, for PAF beneficiary households. There was no reduction for non-beneficiaries during this period and in fact, there was an increase in food insufficiency of these households by about 9%.
Annual Report 2014 81
Access and Use of Services 1. With the second phase of PAF II still ongoing, the number of poor households with access to improved
infrastructure facilities has reached more than 49,000. The impact evaluation results show that the school enrolment rate for children from households engaged in PAF-supported income-generating activities increased by more than 7 percentage points. The enrolment rate was even higher for children from Dalit or Janajati households. While there was no obvious difference between the PAF beneficiaries and the non-beneficiaries in the use of health services/facilities, the beneficiary households were found to be making more use of agricultural centres, community forest services, and farmers' groups. The increased use of such services supports the monitoring data findings that PAF beneficiaries are investing in agriculture-related opportunities and reaching out to service providers to improve and develop these investments.
Conclusions1. The evaluation results indicate that there is a positive and significant impact on household level welfare due
to the PAF programme relative to any other poverty reducing efforts that may be ongoing at the same time. The results further indicate that the programme is an effective tool for targeting the population considered most vulnerable in terms of caste and ethnicity as well as most food insecure. There are many process-related questions that this impact evaluation does not yet answer. For example, a review of the monitoring data suggests that women groups are far more diversified in livelihood activities that mixed groups. Impacts on women only groups would need to be analysed further as should the previously related positive indication of nutritional impact on children under 5 years of age.
2. The household-level panel data provide an opportunity for further analysis over time which may help us understand changes in poverty dynamics and for further counter factual analysis of the outcomes reported in this paper. As such, a continuation of the survey methodology and of the impact evaluation analysis would be an important tool for policy makers and for the implementation of the poverty alleviation fund at the national level.
