The proposed project uses the
following approach and
methodology to address the
community group’s capacity gaps
and training needs assessment:
Area Scan:
The area scans will give
demographic information of
District Vehari, specifically
Tehsils Vehari and Burewala. It
will cover the statistics of
households, total population,
modes of livelihood, socio
economic condition, cultural and
religious belongings. Any
sensitivities existing in the
area will also be highlighted to
support the planning of the
project activities.
Besides that, any development
work done in the area, by the
past or present government or by
any other agency will also be
highlighted in the area scan.
Skill gap and capacity
assessment:
The project Team Leader and
staff shall liaise with the PLAN
staff to contact the 40
community forums. Initial visits
will be conducted by Social
Mobilizers. Village Assemblies
will be held for the purpose of
introducing LEAD staff as well
as orienting the communities to
our agenda in the field. This
initial ice breaking will lead
to a GAP assessment, within the
time of 8-10 weeks, after
project initiation and the
report will also incorporate a
TNA.
Training needs analysis:
The report will identify and
describe key capacity
requirements of the communities,
in terms of knowledge about
different laws under which CBOs
can be registered, as well as
financial and programmatic
management. More specifically,
once the priority issues have
been determined, relevant
capacity constraints will be
identified. Following which,
suggestions for minimum and
optimum capacity levels required
for formalizing and capacitating
the CBOs will be outlined.
Village assemblies:
During the TNA exercise
the procedure of village
assembly will be adopted to
extract the information from
community groups.
Community Group selection:
For the baseline data
collection of community groups
by LEAD Pakistan, the social
mobilizer will visit all the
community groups (40
communities) and will collect
the baseline information
regarding the groups on a
baseline data collection form.
Once all the forms are filled
out, information available in
the forms will be evaluated
accordingly and on the basis of
that information only 15 active
community groups will be
selected for further
collaboration and capacity
building.
CBOs registration:
Facilitative workshop:
The facilitative
workshop will be conducted by
LEAD Pakistan, in which the
representatives (President and
Secretary or any two members)
will be invited to attend the
workshop. In this workshop the
Social Welfare Ordinance 1961
will be defined by LEAD
Pakistan, In the same workshop
officials from the CDD
department will be invited who
will give a briefing on the
process of CBO registration.
Registration of CBOs with CDD
department:
The 15 community groups
will be registered with the
Community Development Department
(CDD) as CBOs under Social
Welfare Ordinance No. XLVI of
1961.
Case studies development:
Four case studies will be
developed by the community
groups prior to the delivery of
training and module development.
The same will be facilitated by
LEAD Pakistan. It will used as a
resource material by the trainer
during the training delivery.
Module development:
On the basis of situation
analysis and training need
assessment, the needs identified
in the report modules will be
developed.
Trainings:
Training sessions will be
delivered on the specific module
for the capacity building of the
newly registered CBOs. The
training is designed in such a
way that can be easily
understood by men, women and
children. The trainings will be
delivered in the local language
(Urdu). From each CBO four
members will participate i.e.
president, secretary, woman and
child. The total number of
training sessions is 24. Each
training session will be three
days long and will be completed
in 72 days. These sessions will
cover the 1080 trainee
participants. The first training
session is expected to start on
1st December 2008 and
will hopefully be completed by 4th
March 2009.
Linkage building study:
The linkage building study will
focus on the identification of
Key Stakeholders; also based on
research, consultations and
meetings with relevant
stakeholders, this report will
identify the key stakeholders
with whom linkages will be
beneficial for the purposes of
resource mobilization. This
report will be prepared at the
end of the TNA Gap assessment so
that the linkages requirement
can be clearly mapped and
stakeholders identified.
Project Proposal Development:
After the training sessions the
CBOs will be able to develop the
project proposal based on their
community needs. The proposals
will reflect the real needs of
the community development.
During this process LEAD
Pakistan will be mentoring the
CBOs to ensure that a quality
proposal is developed.
The same proposal will be
discussed with the community by
LEAD Pakistan and will be
returned to the CBOs for further
developments.
Floating of project proposals:
Once the project proposal is
well-refined, based on the real
community needs, it will be
floated to the respective donor
(s) for grants.
Best practices documentation:
It is expected that this project
will bring positive changes in
the communities, and will enable
the community groups/ CBOs to
resolve their problems in a
better manner.
At the end of the project all
the best practices will be
documented in the shape of case
studies. After their editing the
same will be shared with Plan
Pakistan. |
