Project Implementation Strategy:
Project staff conducted several meetings with community members, local community organizations and other NGOs working in the area for process oriented implementation of the project. Haashar Association believes in the strengthening and capacity building of local structure so decided to implement the project through the facilitation of “Local Support Organization”. LSO is a local representative organization formed at Union Council level by clustering of different community organizations including men and women from different villages.
It was decided in meeting with LSO that they will collect community resolutions from community organizations and forward to project staff for further process. HAASHAR staff get resolution from LSO and COs and accordingly field visits were made by field staff along with LSO representative. Project staff conducted first dialogue with community members for the identification and revalidation of CPIs keeping in mind the prior need of community. After the conduction of second and third dialogues: Social, technical, environmental and detailed survey carried out jointly by social and technical staff. Getting approval of design and cost estimation, ToPs were signed between the community organization and Haashar Association with defined roles and responsibilities. For each of the schemes Project Implementation Committee (PIC) comprising three sub-committees was formed with the representation of both men and women. The number of PIC members varied (6-8) for different schemes.
Sub committees for each PIC included:
- Procurement committee
- Audit Committee
- Operation and Maintenance committee
All schemes excluding water mills were implemented with 80% Project share (Donors share) and 20% community share in kind or cash additional with 2% O & M (Operation & Maintenance) in cash. In case of rehabilitation of water mills, individual beneficiaries contributed 30% of the total cost while rest of 70% was project contribution. Estimated amounts of the schemes were distributed in three installments of 40:40:20 ratios on work done.
