Dear Friends,

This year's Annual Report of the

Institute for Development Studies

and Practices is based on three

inter-related themes;

Identity

Standardization and

Outreach

The report discusses the initiatives

taken to consolidate thirteen years

of practices by IDSP's young and

energetic faculty and its Fellows.

IDSP is focusing on its identity to

establish its uniqueness as a space of

learning for the young and

vulnerable. Initiatives to take the

IDSP's learning practices to the

next level of creating learning

systems and its impact to expansion

are contained within the report.

Identity

The Institute initiated two processes to consolidate thirteen years of learnin

and the establishment of systems of learning at IDSP. At the same time, it w

important to validate the Institute's learning courses and consolidate th

attempts at attaining equivalence of IDSP courses with the regular cours

offered by other academic institutes.

A consultant was engaged, who studied all the IDSP documents,

courses, inception reports, evaluations, and retreat documents. Sh

produced the study which provides pathways for IDSP's future. Whi

interesting facts have been thrown up through the study, one factor th

remains constant is importance IDSP attaches to process (the heart

practice), which has been validated.

Her report says An overview of research methodologies shows that IDSP h

recreated research as a distinctive and exceptional praxis tool that allows learne

to absorb theory and test their understanding, without a focus on production

transmittable body of work that usually is definitive of research. So the empha

is on the process of research itself, rather than what it produces. The process

closely monitored by mentors.

The study has proposed to the IDSP to take the path of intellectu

entrepreneurship. The report is still under discussion and once the Board Trustees approves it, the transition process will be initiated.

A National Office has been established in Karachi. The office is catering

the institutional and growth needs of IDSP. The activities of the Trust a

About IDSP

TDSP was registered in Quetta in 2007 under the TRUST act of Pakistan. IDSP was initially registered under the Soci

Welfare Act in 1999, when it was formally launched as a formal registered body.

It was decided to first establish IDSP and its conceived programmes and then make a formal Board according to its need

requirements and vision.

As an evolving entity, with non-conventional approach to development, IDSP needed a mature, conscious and visionary tea

for nurturing based on experience. IDSP's founding team members resolved to create an Executive Committee. Since it was

internal, informal arrangement, five of its eleven members were employees of IDSP. No general body was called to elect th

chair holders; it was a group of like minded people who agreed to give it a legal entity until IDSP shaped itself in a more defin

manner.

All the members played a key role in providing guidance to IDSP without controlling it. It is important to mention that thr

non-IDSP employee members resigned within the first year of IDSP's registration. One of the members never attended

Three non-IDSP employees have been on the Board throughout. One of them is the founding director of IDSP, who has be

12/62

Historically, IDSP has been going through major structural changes after every three to four years. The strategic plan w

developed up to 2010. It is felt that we require another set of structural changes to respond to the growing demands of t

Fellows and the situation in the country.

Since the Fellowship model has taken roots, it has been observed that Fellows are imbued with a sense of responsibility an

independence, and are making some interesting progress. The existing internal and external analysis shows that their work

becoming more visible in terms of its outcomes and achievements.

IDSP has nominated some senior colleagues and an external consultant to analyze the past experiences and give a way forwar

The team is working to develop the first draft of the position paper.

Two of IDSP Fellows, Sadiq Khan and Barkat Shah have launched an informative process of consultation at the national lev

for creating a position paper about future direction of IDSP. Many recognized intellectuals, academicians, practitioners an

activists from all over the country have been consulted through this process. The consultation process is now in its completiophase. The team has developed the first draft of the paper for further refinement and betterment of IDSP academic courses.

IDSP annual audit was conducted in the month of November 2010 by a recognized audit firm. The final audit report has bee

completed and submitted. IDSP has also sent the audit report to all of its funding partners. The audit report has been accepte

by the World Bank for its Zaanth (A Balochi word which means knowing) project.

IDSP core programmes are focused on strengthening and expanding the worth of IDSP with clear impacts at all levels.

Academic Development Programme (ADP)

IDSP has evolved as a learning space for the youth of Pakistan, especially Balochistan, who have been marginalized due

their not meeting certain standards and criteria (degrees, expertise); here they come together and strive to unpack th

mysteries and mechanistic processes of development, learning and education.

One of its major programmes which engages the youth in a theory and practice based course is the "Academic Developme

Programme" which strives to foster the intellectual and practical capabilities of the youth for the development of a self-relia

and peaceful society. Academic Development Programme offers courses for the young and motivated groups and individua

who want to fulfill their dreams and strive to contribute to the processes of social change through their direct or indire

involvement. The Academic Development Programme has recently conducted its 10th Development Studies Course for th

excluded youth of Pakistan.



13/62

Learners and Community Partnership Programme (LCPP)

Learners and Community Partnership Programme is one of the core programmes of IDSP. It aims to strengthen IDSP

learners' conceptually and enables them to work with their communities. IDSP has a number of learners having diverse

experiences in different thematic areas.

Learners from across Pakistan were engaged in IDSP's courses where they learnt an understanding of the dominant

development paradigm, education systems, politics of development and its institutions, rights, political education and more.

They also acquired research skills, and learnt about communication and professional development. After completion of the

theory, the segment on practice or research (a process of identification of community issues, working with community, collective

action) starts, where all the learners conduct their researches and take collective action towards problem resolution. The course

resulted in establishing ten partnerships in 2010.

Women Leadership Programme

The programmatic basis of women leadership took place in the institutional structure of IDSP in 2009. It stems from the

analysis of IDSP's initiatives and practice of working on women's' issues over the last five years. The analysis provided the

logical basis for developing the Women Leadership Programme with three components

Women Development

Human Resource Development and

Human Right Forums

The components are aimed at addressing and overcoming the gender strategic and practical needs in the context of humanrights and peace.

Women Leadership Programme launched its regular courses of human resource development in four districts of Balochistan,

(Quetta, Mastung, Khuzdar and Sibi). These courses develop human resource at the local level and enhance understanding on

development, rights and political processes. 60 young women have graduated from these courses.

Resources Mobilization Programme

Resource Mobilization Programme has been carrying out organized interventions for collecting and generating resources

through various sustainable initiatives for IDSP's core programmes. The main focus of the programme in the coming years is

the construction of IDSP's Community Development University building.

The approach of the programme is multi-folded. It caters to a generation of resources through innovative livelihood initiatives

of cut flowers, growing of grapes and raising a nursery. Another initiative is for tangibly understanding, practicing and

promoting alternate energy sources.



14/62

From Exclusion to Identity

On the basis of last twelve years' experiences compounded by internal and external evaluations, reviews, retreats and a series

reflections, IDSP has decided to carve its own niche. It intends to establish its identity by extending its outreach and academ

processes. For this, it has been decided to establish a University of Community Development that will cater to learning an

livelihood needs of the excluded majority of Pakistani youth.

During the past 12 years of continuous consecutive practice, IDSP has evolved its unique pattern of human resourc

development, that engages the disillusioned and excluded youth to become agents of social change and sustainab

development. The evaluation reports its ten year's courses culminating the diverse practices of human resource developme

both in the horizontal and vertical dimensions. In this connection, IDSP is going to devise an independent charter for th

University that will be essentially guided by the principle of inclusion of diverse groups and motivated individuals. The chart

for IDSP University will stem from its vision and core values.

IDSP's vision of demystifying the power structure, for changing it by developing a critical mass will form the pivot aroun

which the whole structure of the University and its charter will be constructed.

The eligibility criterion, curricula, methodology, assessment process and a close link of theory and practice will all be guided

the principles and standards evolved by IDSP in its last twelve years' experience. As the idea of seeking any affiliation with th

existing Universities runs the risk of transforming IDSP's efforts into any other formal educational institution, IDSP w

maintain its approach and methodology both in theory and practice.

IDSP will evolve courses for different audiences with relative standards and equivalence (with other formal education

institutes). The standards and approach will be guided by IDSP's vision, philosophy, experiences and the idea of inclusion

the excluded majority by establishing their own identity. Unlike the mainstream educational institutions, the charter for IDS

University will seek a close link between the education imparted and the livelihood opportunities for the graduates. Similarl

efforts will be made to link and relate the theory taught in the courses to the practices to make it more practical.

The process was

Validation of IDSP 10 year's evaluation study report.

Sharing the findings of the evaluation report with larger groups of learners and other informants.

Developed a core group for devising a Position Paper on the basis of the report's findings.

Conducting more than 50 consultative meetings at all over the country for developing the position paper.

Developed draft of the position paper.

Charter Development of IDSP Community Development University



15/62

Outreach

IDSP programme office has reached out to seventy rural communities of the Balochistan province where the formal and

mainstream system of education has failed to facilitate the people and excluded the majority of youth and adolescents. IDSP

has opened fifty community based centers and five district learning centers for the adolescents to include them through literacy,

skills and livelihood programmes.

IDSP also expanded to other provinces particularly in Sindh, where four community-based centers have been developed in the

rural areas. These centers are mainly led by the Fellows who have graduated from the 10th Development Studies Course of

IDSP. They have developed the centers in their native communities.

In upcoming period of one year IDSP will focus to integrate its overall process and will clearly declare its future direction for

strengthening the main national programme office in Quetta.

Through its learners and community partnerships, IDSP has extended its support to some of its outstanding Fellows and

graduates. These graduates and Fellows were previously engaged in different self-initiated projects. This year was instrumental

in facilitating learners and Fellows in their innovative action projects. These learners had gone through the IDSP regular course

and initiated some very interesting processes in their communities.

Learners and Community Development Programme has developed a new strategy for bringing the graduate learners on board

and supporting them both technically and financially in their action projects. IDSP is overwhelmed by the response of the

learners and their communities and by the magnitude of the impact generated by these small scale learners' initiated projects. Italso re-enforced our trust and confidence in young people of the country where surprising breakthrough could be made .

Following are some of the glimpses of projects initiated by IDSP learners.

Fellow name:

Shareef Shambezai

Practice area:

Makran

Shareef Shambuzai from Makran is IDSP's graduate of rights based development course and a Fellow working on the rights of

indigenous people. With the support of local communities, he started activism and reclaimed the rights of 3000 Baloch

families displaced by the construction of Mirani Dam in Turbat, Makran in Balochistan.

Shareef has completed a detailed case study on the issue of Mirani Dam. He also had a documentary produced by Azad

Production Company after getting assistance from IDSP. Shareef is now organizing his community after a long process of

mobilization and is demonstrating in front of government officials i.e. Chief Minister, chief secretary, divisional and districtadministration for the compensation for the people affected by the Mirani Dam.

He has continuously been getting reports published in different national and local newspapers about the issue. The affected

communities met with the Deputy Commissioner, Commissioner, and Chief Secretary of Balochistan under the leadership of

Fellow name:

Abdul Hai

Practice area:

Village Kamal Zai,District Pishin

Abdul Hai, is a young graduate learner of the IDSP's 2008 Community Development Course. Based on his previous

performance, IDSP awarded a Fellowship to him so that he could sustain his community development work with participation

of his community. Through this Fellowship he is working in a Pushtoon community village Kamal Zai in district Pishin.

During his Fellowship period, Abdul Hai, emerged as an outstanding professional for the development of his community. He

managed to mobilize the divided community of Kamal Zai and helped them to come together for the creation of new solutions

to increasing water shortage in village. He was able to launch a community derived project for reviving the traditional sources of

agriculture water for more than 1000 acres of land. This land had dried up because the 120 years old Karaz (man-made

underground water channel) had become non-functional.

Hai organized his community around water resources and emerged as a community leader for sustainable livelihood for the

indigenous people of Kamal Zai. This energy has been sustained and the community has become active in engaging with the

district government and other development agencies to strive for their rights.

In Pishin district, which neighbors Afghanistan, almost all villagers who left their lands have come back and have started to

work on their lands. Abdul Hai is working on projects of World Bank for growing a forest on 10000 acres of land; he is also

organizing young people for education and computer literacy as well and educating them through informal sessions to keep

them away from vested interest groups.

Currently he has got a project from UNDP, which started in March 2011. This project would support his community in

developing pools, vessels and providing agricultural tools i.e. trickle and bubbler system for irrigation. Hai continues to support

female teachers for educating the girls of his community. With the support of his community, he has arranged means of

transportation for the people as there was no local transport to connect them with the city.

Hai initiated a project with the support of Balochistan Rural Support Programme BRSP, which will provide seeds, loans and

technical support to farmers and other needy people related to the same field of work..

With the help of the Health Department, Hai initiated and mobilized the people to combat gastro virus when the whole

Standardized courses of learning and activism and its replication and expansion

Evaluation and standardization of IDSP courses through f inalization of the Third Party Evaluation of IDSP courses

Since its inception, IDSP has always followed a trajectory stemming from constant actions based on deep reflection and

evaluations. In this regard, reviews and evaluations of internal and external modalities have been carried out. In 2008 when

IDSP completed its 10 years of institutional journey, it was decided to launch a thorough Third party evaluation (TPE) which

could assess the effectiveness of process (Human Resource Development in Pakistan) in IDSP.

The Third Party Evaluation is based on learners and IDSP faculty as the informants. IDSP faculty and Board members gave

their inputs on the report during and after the report was produced. The reservations of the group were communicated to the

consultant for improving the draft. As a result a validation process was launched for an objective conclusion of the overall

process.

In this connection, the TPE validation study was launched with the TPE respondents in four different clusters i.e Hyderabad,

Quetta, Loralai and Khuzdar. The validation process aimed to share the findings with at least 33% of the respondents. In this

connection a number of 33 learners were invited to participate in the findings-sharing validation workshops. As in TPE report,

the ratio of male and female participation remained 62% and 38% respectively therefore, the number of male and female

participants in the validation workshop was finalized on the same formula that is 20 male and 13 female respondents.

Criterion for the selection of learners in the validation workshop was guided by the various determinants, i.e gender,

geographical location, representing the different courses, age, etc. The list of the learners with first and second priority was

developed with the support of LCPP and shared with all the faculty members in the loop. The first priority list was exercised;

the learners who gave their consent were finalized while the other learners who regretted were substituted by the second

priority list. It was expected to capture a 25% of the learner's respondents who participated in the TPE. The four workshops

catered to a total of 38 learners which is 45% of the total population of respondents. Therefore it strongly reinforces the point of

views validating the report.

The validation workshops with the learners helped a great deal in providing IDSP with a clear stand point and road map for its

future. The validation of the TPE synthesizes the findings of TPE and validation study. The process of Third Party Evaluation

was carried by Prof. Karamat Hussain former VC Bahudin Zakaria University Multan.
