Now the community informed that mortality rate of hens, cows, and goats reduced due to improved practices.

Impact of livestock training:

12 of the beneficiaries whom were provided with cows are now pregnant and a three of them have also their off springs. Such households have now pure milk available at their home for children and few of them started selling surplus milk to neighbours for increased income.

Beneficiaries who got goats are also benefitting with milk from goats and saving money that was previously being spent on buying milk from local market.

Beneficiaries who received hens from the project are now getting eggs from them; As a good source of protein, child nutrition has improved due to eggs availability at home. Some women are also selling eggs to earn their livelihood.

Impact of demonstration plot:

In last quarter, NRSP supported communities in

establishment of 40 demonstration plots in

three different Union councils. Wheat was

cultivated in those plots. A new seed variety Sarjgen was introduced, which is especially developed

for flood and drought affected areas. The variety has more resistant that other seeds. The


production for this variety is almost double as compare to other seeds. The community members

have decided to store seeds and use this for next wheat seasons, due it its resistivity and production.

However, this year, there was less rain, still farmers got good production as they used improved

variety, suitable for their area and land.

per kit. In order to stay within budget limit, it was discussed to procure cylinder for LSO, which will

be provided to trainees upon request. Plan International suggested that all trainees should be

provided gas cylinder, as this is highly important for provision of improved services to communities.

The budget would be carefully reviewed, and look for any saving amount that can be used to cover

the additional cost. The plan and budget is still under discussion. NRSP will procure all items, when

budget discussions are finalized.

items were provided to FFS and WOS. Agriculture officer conducted training on agriculture related

activities; each FFS and WOS attends a fortnightly class where they learned about the new seeds and

new technology (which included Practical on new cultivation machines advance seeds and fertilizer,

different procedures of irrigation). Beneficiaries also undertook practical exercises in demo plots

such as using farmyard manual, traditional techniques and nonconventional methods. They observe

key elements of the agro-ecosystem by measuring plant development, taking samples of insects,


weeds and diseased plants, and constructing simple cage experiments or comparing characteristics

of different soils. In addition to that, fourteen Child Ecological Clubs (CEC) with 365 children are

operational in project districts. CECs are involved in kitchen gardening, nurseries, plantation and

participation in various activities of DRR, Advocacy, Agriculture & WASH.

6. Monitoring and Evaluation Process:

M&E is one of the integral parts of the project. Regular field visits have been carried out and

activities are physically monitored. Data collection and analysis have been one of the focused areas

for M&E activities. The project progress is tracked by comparing with work plan and project key

indicators. All the data maintained and reported is gender and district wise disaggregated with

evidence available as backup in form of attendance sheets, short reports and pictures.

M&E Officer identified key strengths & weaknesses, provided support for timely implementation of

project activities. He document strengths& weakness of project ensured involvement of

stakeholders in each project activity
