Introduction to the Programme

Balochistan Rural Development and Community Empowerment Programme (BRDCEP)

Balochistan Rural Development and Community Empowerment Programme (BRDCEP) is

supported by the European Union (EU) and being implemented in close collaboration with

the Local Government and Rural Development (LG&RDD) Department of the Government of

Balochistan (GoB). It is a five-year Programmeand being implemented by the Rural Support

Programmes Network (RSPN), National Rural Support Programme (NRSP) and Balochistan

Rural Support (BRSP). BRDCEP is being implemented in eight districts of Balochistan,

namely Jhal Magsi, Kech, Khuzdar, Killa Abdullah, Loralai, Pishin, Washuk, and Zhob. The

programme focuses on empowering citizens and communities and providing them with the

means to implement community-driven socio-economic development interventions. It will

also amplify communities’ voice and capability to influence public policy decision-making

through active engagement with local authorities for quality, inclusive and equitable service

delivery, and civic-oversight.

The programme will be technically supported by Human Dynamics, an Austrian company, to

contribute in enabling the Government of Balochistan (GoB) to foster an enabling

environment for strengthening the capacities of local government/authorities to manage and

involve communities in the statutory local public sector planning, financing, and

implementation processes through development and implementation of a clearly defined

fiscal and regulatory Public Finance Management (PFM) frameworks, budgetary processes

and commitments.

The overall objective of the programme is to support the Government of Balochistan in its

efforts to reduce the negative impact of economic deprivation, poverty and social inequality,

environmental degradation and climate change, and instead to develop opportunities by

building and empowering resilient communities to participate actively in identifying and

implementing socio-economic development activities on a sustainable basis in partnership

with local authorities.

BRDCEP’s core action includes the promotion of bottom-up community-driven participatory

development. The strategic focus of BRDCEP is social mobilisation and institutional

development; increased voice and capacity; social accountability; gender mainstreaming;

cross cutting themes; and evidence base research and policy. Under BRDCEP, 1.9 million

Pakistani citizens from 300,000 poor rural households in 249 union councils (UCs) will be

mobilised and organised into a network of people’s own institutions: 19,129 Community

Organisations (COs); 3,103 Village Organisations (VOs); 249 Local Support Organisations

(LSOs) and 31 LSO Networks at tehsil level and eight LSO Networks at district level. Rural

Support Programmes (RSPs) then will provide support to improve the lives and livelihoods of

the organised households, as well as to foster linkages between the community institutions

and local authorities to improve local basic service delivery. The programme will also

promote civic engagement by encouraging the households to become aware of and involved

in political processes and the issues that affect them and their community collectively.

BRDCEP Provincial Launch

Objectives and Strategic Importance

The Local Government and Rural Development Department (LGRDD), Government of

Balochistan (GoB), in collaboration with BRSP, NRSP and RSPN launched the EU

supported BRDCEP on November 10, 2017, at Quetta.

This large provincial level rural development initiative, also one of the focal key sectors

under the EU 2014-20 Multiannual Indicative Programme, is designed to develop close

synergies and buy-in by key stakeholders in and outside the province. It was critical to take

key stakeholders of the rural development sector on board from the onset of the programme.

Keeping this in view, main objective of the launch was to present BRDCEP to key

stakeholders of rural development from administrative, political and socioeconomic pillars.

This was also an opportunity to seek their views on the programme and as well as to create

broader common understanding about the programme.

Over two hundred and thirty participants, including Federal and Provincial Ministers,

Senators, Members of National and Provincial Assemblies, the EU Ambassador to Pakistan,

senior level representation from the Provincial Government Departments, RSPN/RSP Board

Chairpersons and Members, Managers and staff, academia, UN Agencies, other civil society

representatives, media representatives and Local Support Organisation representatives

attended the BRDCEP launching ceremony

Event Proceedings Dr. Shahnawaz Khan, Senior Manager Programmes/Team Leader (BRDCEP) from BRSP,

moderated the event. He welcomed all the participants and requested Maulana Hafiz to

recite from the Holy Quran with English translation. After the recitation, he mentioned to the

terrorist attack a day before in Quetta that took the life of Deputy Inspector General (DIG)

Police and other police personnel. He paid tributes to all the martyrs who had been fighting

against the terrorism and requested the participants to offer Fatiha (prayers) for them.

Welcome Remarks

Ms. Shandana Khan, Chief Executive Officer Rural Support Programmes Network

Ms. Shandana Khan in her opening remarks welcomed all the distinguished guests and

attendees for the BRDCEP launch on behalf of Ministry of Local Government and Rural

Development (LGRDD) of Balochistan and RSPs and expressed her gratitude for their

presence. She said that BRDCEP is strategically positioned by EU as it aims to develop a

sustained partnership between the Government of Balochistan and communities.

Mr. Nadir Gul Barech talks about GoB and BRSP partnership

Ms. Shandana Khan welcoming launch participants

She appreciated the EU’s contribution and partnership with RSPs that started back in 2012

with the PEACE (Programme for Economic

Advancement and Community

Empowerment) in the Malakand Division of

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. EU has also invested,

after an agreement with the Government of

Sindh, in the Sindh Union Council and

Community Economic Strengthening Support

Programme (SUCCESS) that is currently

being implemented in eight districts by

RSPN, NRSP, SRSO and TRDP. In

Balochistan, EU has funded the recently

completed Balochistan Community Development Programme (BCDP). EU has now

supported BRDCEP for implementation in eight districts of Balochistan. All this reflects EU

strong support for community driven development in the rural areas of Pakistan.

Ms. Shandana Khan underlined that the approach of social mobilisation of RSPs. This

means “representation of all; inclusion of all” and “empowering all”. Moreover, she laid

emphasis on the significance of empowering the women and firmly said that the change can

be brought at household level. “The meaningful inclusion of the women in the social

mobilisation process is critical – because it is the women who will ultimately challenge the

status quo”, said Ms. Shandana Khan. She said that BRDCEP will have a blanket coverage

in the target districts and is highly strategic in nature as it will set a roadmap for participatory

development in the province. She also underscored that Government’s and RSPs have

shared objectives and that close synergies will developed during the implementation of the

programme. These synergies will contribute to achieving the objectives of BRDCEP.

Government of Balochistan and BRSP Partnership

Mr. Nadir Gul Barech, Chief Executive Officer, Balochistan Rural Support Programme

Mr. Nadir Gul Barech expressed his

gratitude to all the participants for

participating in the BRDCEP launching

ceremony and said that the programme

is a result of joint working and several

rounds of meetings with GoB, EU and

partner communities. He said that he is

really glad that the efforts they started in

2014 have yielded the desired results.

He added that this programme is another

significant milestone and will contribute

towards meeting GoB’s goals and

objectives for the community driven local

development. He thanked EU and GoB for the support they provided in materializing the


4

Mr. William Pitkin presenting the overall BRDCEP logic

programme. He further said that for the first time in province’s history that there is such a

large scale public private partnership programme that provides a great opportunity to

upscale social mobilisation and community empowerment in Balochistan as social

mobilisation approach to CDD of RSPs has proved to be a successful not only in Pakistan

but also in other regional countries. He said that one added value of social mobilisation is

the social cohesion that it produces in the communities. Mr. Barech was quite optimistic and

believed that the programme will eventually be up scaled to all the 32 districts of Balochistan

with the support of the provincial Government.

Mr. Barech then briefly talked about the history of BRSP and its evolving linkages with the

Government and communities. Then he explained the approach of BRSP work and how

social mobilisation process is undertaken. As regard to BRDCEP, Mr. Barech said that the

key to attaining programme goals and objectives is the bottom up approach and ensured

that RSPs will support GoB to incorporate this approach into the Annual Development Plan

of the provincial Government through evidence based information generated during the

implementation of the programme. Mr. Barech said that he looks forward to further

strengthening the strategic partnership with the Government of Balochistan for the benefit of

the rural poor in the province.

At the end, Mr. Barech said, “This journey of BRSP has been turbulent, 14 incidents have

taken place where our staff have been abducted or killed”. He also expressed his gratitude

to law enforcement agencies and acknowledged their efforts in improving law and order

situation in the province and for their support to BRSP teams in promoting CDD approach in

the field.

Overview of the BRDCEP Intervention Logic

Mr. William Pitkin, Deputy Team Leader BRDCEP, Human Dynamics

Mr. Willian Pitkin informed that BRDCEP is to support GoB in community driven rural

development and public finance

management. He said that this programme

will contribute in building capacities of

partners and communities in the target

districts. He added that Community Driven

Local Development (CDLD) is aligned with

EU’s approach that aims at improving access

to basic services such as water and

sanitation, health, education, infrastructure,

etc., and to address demand and supply side

at the same time. He thoroughly explained

the demand and supply side aspects of the

programme and BRDCEP logical framework.

Moreover, Mr. Pitkin, described the role of Human Dynamics in attaining BRDCEP goals and

objectives. He said Human Dynamics will work with partner RSPs and Government

Dr. Rashid Bajwa’s presentation on role of RSPs in BRDCEP

Departments to undertake comprehensive gender analysis in Balochistan which will feed into

the gender mainstreaming strategy; will contribute in capacity building of the local authorities

in CDLD approaches and to develop of a Local Development Policy Framework for GoB. He

also informed that Human Dynamics will help GoB in development and implementation of

Public Finance Management which will help the government in costing and funding CDLD

policy framework through clearly defined fiscal and regulatory frameworks, budgetary

processes and commitments reflected in a multi-annual budgetary framework and defined

institutional arrangements. The outcomes will be the strategic district budgets and framework

with clear benchmarks and creation of knowledge platform. Mr. Pitkin concluded, “This

programme supports communities as well as implementing partners. It creates opportunity

for livelihoods and ensure participation in process of sustainable development”.

RSPs’ Role in BRDCEP

Dr. Rashid Bajwa, CEO National Rural Support Programme

Dr. Rashid Bajwa was invited to explain the role of RSPs in BRDCEP. He said that it is a

historical event that all key stakeholders of the programme are on the same page. He further

said that there is no prior example in Balochistan where a programme has 100 percent

coverage in rural areas of the target districts. He said, “The result of 100 percent coverage of

households in rural areas in the target

districts under BRDCEP will for sure bring

about positive changes in the lives

communities”.

Dr. Bajwa informed that this programme

covers eight districts; BRSP will implement

the programme in seven districts; while

NRSP will implement it in one district. He

informed about the roles of GoB, BRSP,

NRSP, RSPN and Human Dynamics in

implementation of BRDCEP. He said that

fostering 19,129 Community Organisations, 3,103 Village Organisations, 249 Local Support

Organisations, 31 Tehsil and 8 District LSO Networks will bring about prominent positive

change in the lives of people from these eight districts and will considerably contribute in

poverty reduction which will enhance socioeconomic empowerment of the households.

He also talked about activities and processes under BRDCEP such as provision of micro

health insurance, income generating grants, community investment funds, community infra-

structures, livelihood enhancement activities and capacity building of local authorities. Dr.

Bajwa explained the critical link between CDLD learning and its contribution in policy

development for GoB. He said the once local development policy framework is developed, it

will help effective and efficient utilization of development funds. Than he explained the

expected results of programme and said that the programme will help the poor to graduate

from lower bands of poverty to upper bands. He expressed gratitude towards EU and said,

“We are thankful to EU that they understood the need of the province and decided to support

the programme”.

Nawabzada Saifullah Magsi presenting his remarks

Sardar Mustafa Tareen discussing Local Development

BRDCEP: Local Development / Local Governance Nexus

Sardar Mustafa Khan Tareen, Minister for Local Government and Rural Development

Department, Government of Balochistan

Sardar Mustafa Khan Tareen said that Balochistan’s situation is known to all of all. To

address the needs of the province, new

innovative approaches are needed. He

stressed upon the need to understand the

issues from perspective of a common man.

He also appreciated the work of RSPs,

particularly for CDD.

Sardar Tareen said, “Balochistan was the

first province to hold elections for local

government. Today, the local governments

are functioning. At the Union Council level,

there are Chairpersons and Councillors. Now there is an excellent opportunity to have full

engagement of citizens with local authorities. This will ensure transfer of power to people.”

Sardar Tareen concluded by thanking EU for their generous support for CDD in Balochistan.

He said that the Balochistan Government is committed to scale up this initiative across the

province. He said, “For sure, there will be positive and productive changes attributed to this

BRDCEP programme, particularly in improving the socio-economic status of the poor

people.”

Remarks by Parliamentarians and Guest of Honors

Nawabzada Saifullah Magsi, Senator (from Jhal Magsi, one of the BRDCEP districts) said

that Balochistan is facing multiple problems.

“We somehow have got use to mediocrity

and we need to change. The change comes

from within”, expressed Senator Magsi.

Mentioning BRDCEP, he said, “The most

valuable thing will be valuable database of

each household in these eight districts”. It

talks of holistic approach towards building

partnership with Government.

He said, “The synergies that developed

under this programme, particularly with

Government of Balochistan, will actually

provide opportunity to achieve the set goals”. He pledged to contribute to BRDCEP as much

as possible.

Mir Jan Muhammad Khan Jamali, Member Provincial Assembly Balochistan, stated that he

was lucky to come across Dr. Akhtar Hameed Khan and the Comilla Project. He referred to

Mr. Shoaib Sultan Khan, Chairman RSPN, as a foot solider of development.

Dr. Sanaullah Baloch addressing the launch

Dr. Abdul Malik Baloch sharing his remarks

Mr. Obaidullah Jan Babat (from district Loralai, one of the BRDCEP districts) and Advisor to

Chief Minister Balochistan for Education,

applauded the new BRDCEP programme. He

said, “We are truly satisfied with the work of

RSPs as they are working with households

and communities”. He talked about the issues

in Balochistan and expressed the need for

collaborative efforts to address these issues.

Mr. Sana Ullah Baloch, Ex-Senator from

Balochistan, mentioned the key issues and

challenges in Balochistan. He said, “We

ourselves need to have a dialogue and

consultative meeting to discuss issues due to which we are unable to take people out of

poverty and social evils”. He appreciated RSPs’ role in promoting consultations and

dialogues to address jointly the prevailing

issues. He held the view that crisis is not due

to lack of resources; it is the lack of

determination that needs to reawakened. He

said with regret that, “Over 86 percent

population is going through very ugly form of

poverty”. Besides this, he also mentioned the

huge problem of out of school children, 50

percent population in Balochistan does not

know what is electricity and that the maternal

and infant mortality rates are too high.

“Maternal Mortality Ratio in Balochistan is

more than that of South Sudan. Somalia’s

Infant Mortality Rate is better than that of Balochistan”, he said.

Against this backdrop, Mr. Sana Ullah Baloch stated that without understanding the fault

lines in these eight districts, goals cannot be achieved. He said that there is a need to have

coherence and harmony among all the stakeholders. “It is great that this programme has a

component that talks about the consultative meeting among stakeholders including local

government representatives and

communities”, underscored Mr. Sana Ullah

Baloch.

Dr. Abdul Malik Baloch, Ex-Chief Minister

Balochistan and Member Provincial

Assembly, thanked EU for their kind support

to CDD in Balochistan. He said that the

government has issues in addressing

education, health, water and sanitation and

other social sector issues. By developing

Mr. Shoaib Sultan Khan speaking about RSPs Movement

in Pakistan

three way synergies between Government, RSPs and communities these problems can be

addressed He said that success of BRDCEP will contribute to build trust with Government

and donors, and this trust is essential for poverty reduction in the province.

Remarks by the Secretary, Planning and Development (P&D), Government of Balochistan

Mr. Asfandyar Kakar, Secretary Planning and Development Department, Government of

Balochistan, appreciated RSPs three-tiered

social mobilisation approach and said that

GoB is committed to uplift the lives of poor in

the province. He thanked Mr. Shoaib Sultan

Khan and mentioned him as moving spirit

that enables the poor to graduate out of

poverty. He said, “I am sure the programme

will create synergy and a path to facilitate

other development, governmental and non-

governmental, programmes in the province to

use the community structures established

through RSPs’ support”.

RSPs Movement in Pakistan

Mr. Shoaib Sultan Khan, Chairman RSPN

Mr. Shoaib Sultan Khan shared the history of RSPs and explained how the three-tiered

social mobilisation approach to CDD evolved. He said, “Akhter Hameed Khan preached that

there are two pillars of state, the political and the administrative pillars. These pillars cannot

access each and every household”. Therefore, Mr. Akhter Hameed Khan advocated

development of a third pillar, i.e. the socio-

economic pillar or the social pillar. He said

that poverty and impoverishment is at the

household level and Rural Support

Programmes foster a framework of grassroots

institutions to enable each and every

household to access services and supplies.

He explained that in the process RSP help

unleash the potential of the people individually

and collectively when people are federated at

the higher levels. He explained the philosophy

of RSPs and said that they believe that even

the poorest of the poor has the potential of improving their livelihoods.

Mr. Shoaib Sultan Khan also said, “RSPs are not NGOs; they depend on the Government

patronage. I am submitting please do not expect RSPs will do that falls within the

Government Department. Basically, we want these Departments to know what the

Maulana Ameer Zaman stating his remarks

His Excellency, Mr. Jean-Francois Caution expressing his remarks

community wants. This is the main function of RSPs”. He stated that this approach depends

upon three main requisites that includes: willingness of people to organize, to initiate savings

programme and to improve their skills.

Finally, Mr. Shoaib Sultan Khan mentioned that currently EU is the only donor who has faith

in involving communities in their own development. He also thanked former Chief Secretary

of Balochistan Mr. Saifullah Chattha for his personal interest in facilitating the grant of

endowment for BRSP and looks forward to the Government of Balochistan to scale up

BRDCEP to all other districts of the province.

Remarks by Federal Minister

Maulana Ameer Zaman, Federal Minister for Postal Services

Maulana Ameer Zaman thanked GoB and RSPs for the invitation to participate in the

BRDCEP launching ceremony. He shared that he had a meeting with EU Delegation a few

days ago and he was asked about main issues and their solution in Balochistan. He added

that the issues that he highlighted were

poverty, lack of health facilities, lack of

improved water facilities and consequential

waterborne diseases and said that solution

for addressing these issues can be address

by joint initiatives by local authorities with

active engagement by citizens. He added that

joint and proper planning, implementation,

monitoring and evaluation for such initiatives

are critical, He appreciated the generous

support by EU for BRDCEP and offered his

full support to the implementing RSPs.

Remarks by His Excellency, The Ambassador of European Union to Pakistan

His Excellency, Mr. Jean-Francois Cautain

The Ambassador of European Union Delegation to Pakistan thanked all and especially Mr.

Shoaib Sultan Khan, Chairman RSPN, for

organizing the BRDCEP launch ceremony.

He said, “if Shoaib Sultan Khan have not

been there, this even would have been

possible” He also expressed his deep

sorrow on the terrorist attack that happened

at Quetta a day earlier.

His Excellency recalled, “A year back, I

mentioned about scaling up BCDP in the

same hall. It is great that we are upscaling

this today”. He mentioned that above Euro

300 million is being spent by EU on CDD

Dr. Hamid Khan Achakzai delivering the concluding remarks

programmes across Pakistan. He said, “We (EU) believe in transformative power of local

democracy. By mobilising communities and giving them means to the local communities to

take their own development in their own hands, they can graduate out of poverty. Besides

this one of the speaker today mentioned the issue is not money but issue is of mind-set; we

need to change mind-set for this. As soon as rural people’s mind-set changes they start

recognising their needs and demand their rights and better services”.

His Excellency then talked about the significance of field visits for observing not only EU

funded programmes activities but also to see how the EU member states tax-payer funds

are being utilised and to see the improvement in the lives of the people. He shared, “For the

last two years, I have travelled to KP, Sindh and Balochistan (Loralai and Pishin); I have

seen from my own eyes that how people have transformed; as soon as people’s mind-set

changes they start working for their own betterment”.

His Excellency said that EU can support initiatives, plant seeds, if you want to see these

seeds grow then both Federal and Provincial governments should play their role. “I want to

clear that EU is not the Government of Pakistan) or the Government of Balochistan; we are

not here to substitute these governments”, said His Excellency.

Pertaining to BRDCEP, His Excellency recounted that the two most important aspects of this

new programme are “the bottom up approach and policy framework”. As regards the bottom

up approach, social mobilisation and Community Driven Development have critical roles;

and the development of policy framework is very essential for sustainable community led

development. He also expressed his happiness in witnessing the ownership by the

Government of Balochistan at the event and said that he is impressed by the work of RSPs.

Concluding Remarks

Dr. Hamid Khan Achakzai, Minister Planning and Development (P&D) Department,

Government of Balochistan

Dr. Hamid Khan Achakzai thanked all the esteemed guests and participants for attending the

BRDCEP launching ceremony. He said that Balochistan’s P&D Department has worked very

closely with EU for the development of

BRDCEP and it is wonderful to see all

stakeholders present at the launching

ceremony. Balochistan faces many problems

and the biggest problem is the lack of peace.

Authorities have made great efforts and the

situation has begun to improve significantly.

When there is peace, then development

programmes can be implemented effectively

and efficiently. The Government of

Balochistan is committed to make all efforts

for poverty reduction in the province. In this
