Project Name: Social Cohesion & Resilience Building and

Demonstration of DRR in Focused Schools through Scouting Partner Name: UNICEF - Quetta

Duration: July 2013 to December 2014

Date: 21 March 2015

1. Summary:

Brief description of overall achievements made during PCA

implementation period with key activities and challenges if any.

This project “Promotion of Social Cohesion and Resilience Building and

Demonstration of DRR in focused schools through Scouting” is based

upon two fold approach of one promoting Social Cohesion and

Resilience (SCR) attitudes among focused populations particularly the

most marginalised and deprived children and their families and second

to prepare schools to avoid massive losses through implementation of

DRR strategies at school and community level. The project aimed at

ensuring the active participation of the scouts and youths to take lead

in implementation of the planned activities for achievement of the

planned results.

The activities planned under the PCA with specific objectives brought

youths, parents and communities in general close to each other. Twenty

Scouting camps were organized for both boys and girls in three focused

districts of Jaffarabad, Naseerabad and Quetta. School going, out of

school and madrassa students took part in camping. They belonged to

different geographical backgrounds, communities, ethnicity,

tradition, culture and religion. The inclusion of all these children and

youth in the camps was a great success for us since in this tough

conditions hatred, unjust, fear and uncertainty are spread which have

25

made people less confident, frustrated and confined to their vicinity.

Poster and drama competitions were held among the girls,

adolescents/youths groups in each focused districts. SCR ideals were

promoted through inclusive participation of youth groups in sports

and cultural events at Tehsil level. Associations of cricket,

football, hockey and other sports were taken on board at district level

and provided sports material in order to conduct sports events on

weekly basis in their communities reaching out to out of school and

madrassa children. 3544 madrassa students were included in these

sports events in this specific period of time and sports items were

also provided to them for future sports. Coordination meetings were

conducted with relevant stakeholders i.e. District Administration,

Education Department, Social Welfare and others. The meetings served

as a venue to identify potential partnerships and distribution points

for informative material for project activities.

The second part of SCR project was to build and enhance the capacity

of focused groups including students, parents, teachers and community

on DRR/SBDRM, implementation of School Safety Action Plan and other

preparedness measures in disaster prone areas of District Jaffarabad

and Naseerabad. The trainings were held in 100 clusters of 450 focused

schools. After the successful implementation of these trainings, 3000

male and female teachers and parents were trained on school &

community based DRR. District review meetings were held in all three

districts every month which provided a platform for sharing the

progress made during the implementation and planned activities for

future. The constraints and lessons learned were also discussed in

these meetings.
