Message from Chairperson/CEO
Dear readers, the last year was once again very eventful in life of SRSP and was
characterized by a very high level of activities. SRSP contributed to promote
inclusive human development, alleviate extreme poverty and reduce gender
disparities in poor and marginalized areas of KP and FATA. Based on RSPs philosophy, SRSP remained committed to establishing
organizations of poor and federating them at higher level to form LSOs and play its role in this process as a catalyst organization.
The year saw many opportunities for community activists to get together and share their achievements attained under conditions
of great adversity and to continue promoting institutions that are accountable to the grassroots.
The major donors as already mentioned to support SRSPs interventions in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa comprised European Union (EU),
Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund (PPAF), Government of KP, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade formerly known as AusAid,
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), United Nation
Children Fund (UNICEF), United Nation Population Fund and Pakistan Afghanistan Tajikistan Regional Integration programme
(PATRIP). Along with these major donors, some international organizations like OSI, Coffey, ASI, RSPN and Britich Council also
contributed significantly in various components of SRSP programmes. New donors e.g. KfW showed an interest and came on board
to support livelihood strengthening programme in FATA. The thematic/programmatic details along-with summaries of short, long
term and humanitarian programmes/projects are also mentioned in this report in detail. Hope you will enjoy reading it.

Major highlights of 2015-2016
The year 2015-16 again proved remarkable for SRSP due to high level of interventions in programme areas. It saw diversification
of programme portfolio to add e.g. large hydro projects, strengthen existing and fostering new partnerships with National and
International agencies and support government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in its endeavors to reach marginalized population and
areas. SRSP expanded its development canvas to all 25 districts in KP and 13 tribal areas (FATA) for benefiting deserving communities
especially women and children socially and economically.
The family of men and women community based organizations at three different levels continued to grow. So far, a phenomenal
figure of formation of 39,000 community based organizations (26,000 men and 13,000 women) representing over 916,000 member
households across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Tribal areas has been achieved. Efforts to form apex level village and union council
level organizations for ensuring their self sufficiency and financial sustainability were intensified and as a result 148 Local Support
Organizations (LSOs) covering 284,500 households have been formed. Addressing infrastructural needs in areas where state has
not been able to reach remained a significant feature of the organization. A total of 9,500 small scale community maintained
infrastructure schemes benefitting nearly 2 million population have been initiated/completed. These infrastructure schemes were
inclusive of 253 micro hydro projects in northern mountainous regions of KP, which has enhanced access of 50,000 poor/off grid
households to clean and renewable energy. A unique aspect during the year was initiation of large hydro power projects of upto
2 megawatt in districts Swat, Dir, Shangla and Chitral. These units, mostly supported by EU, would provide electricity to rural
and urban areas in mentioned districts addressing their energy needs. The coverage of off-grid population through clean energy
was also boosted with SRSP-Pakhtunkhwa Energy Development Organization (PEDO) partnership to initiate over 100 micro hydro
projects in potential districts and areas.
The microfinance program focused, mainly, on extending Community Investment Fund (CIF) to poor and vulnerable women
in selected districts inclusive of two new districts Swat and Chitral. The program disbursed over 67 million (PKR) in last fiscal
year and ensured 100% recovery. SRSPs technical and vocational skills center delivered need based market driven employable
skills to deserving community members for their livelihood strengthening and improvement besides contributing to reducing
unemployment in the province. SRSP remained committed to Gender mainstreaming in all major components, programmes and
projects. This was achieved through gender responsive budgeting, initiating women specific infrastructure schemes, setting up
mobile units for enhancing their technical and leadership qualities, and limiting CIF to women exclusively. During 2015-16, SRSP
invested in promoting alternative models, essentially supporting Go-KP and other international partners, for improving delivery
of quality education. In this regard new partnerships with provincial and international stakeholders were developed to expand
coverage of education in the province. One such example was initiation of (mega) capacity building project to train all members
(over 209,500) of 27,000 Parent Teacher Councils across KP. WASH and Total Sanitation interventions undertaken in selected
districts helped in developing model villages urging key stakeholders to replicate the same in other districts to improve health
and hygiene situation in KP. Under social sector services, SRSP through innovative models improved access of poor and vulnerable
to formal justice; lessons from which have also been shared nationally, regionally and internationally with key stakeholders.
Promotion of rural enterprises and developing value chains also comprised an important component of SRSP development work
to enhance rural income and generate local employment.
During 2015-16, European Union supported PEACE and CDLD programmes programmes achieved major milestones in Malakand
division. EU-PEACE micro-hydro projects significantly changed, if not revolutionalized, life of local population. Availability of clean
and renewable energy had profound impacts on social and economic activities, besides improving health, education and local
environment. In contrast, EU-CDLD took strides for improving state-citizen relationship through innovative initiatives at both
demand (community) and supply (Local Government Institutions) levels. The long-term partnership between SRSP and Pakistan
Poverty Alleviation Funds continued to undertake multiple initiatives in selected districts. These interesting and unique initiatives
expanded and deepened coverage in targeted districts to benefit local communities. The Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade
(DFAT/AusAid) supported implementation of WEEMD project in three border districts of KP with a focus on women economic
empowerment and market development. With an expansion in same districts, areas and communities, the project, during its
phase II, has adopted a professional approach to enhance incomes of especially women. A significant highlight of last year was the
partnership between SRSP and KfW for implementation of rehabilitation/reintegration of Temporary Displaced Population (TDPs)
in FATA. To address short term needs of these TDPs, the support provided by UN agencies including (UNHCR, UNDP, UNICEF, and
UNFPA) had been exemplary. The partnerships with Pakistan Afghanistan Tajikistan Regional Integration Program (PATRIP), Rural
Support Programme Network (RSPN), British Council, OSI and COFFEY international continued for delivering need based services
at community level.
SRSPs awareness of context, culture and local level sensitivities augmented by well established Standard Operating Procedures
(SOPs), adherence to highest standards for project/programme management, transparent financial management, internal/
learning audit, monitoring-evaluation, gender sensitization and focus on cross cutting issues has enabled it to be one of the most
important stakeholders in rural development alongside other public and key institutions. SRSP regional, district and field teams
with backstopping support from an active Board and head office core team led by CEO have achieved significant milestones for
promoting and supporting local communities in reducing their poverty and contributing to socio-economic development of their
areas.

Section I - Thematic details
First Harvest of Social Mobilization (excerpts from Shoaib Sultan Khans NFR)
The Khyber Pukhtunkhwa (KPK) government has amended the Local Government Act replacing each erstwhile
Union Council with 3 to 4 Village Councils (VCs) and allocating 30% of the provincial Annual Development Programme
(ADP) to be directly given to VCs. This meant that each VC will have an allocation of PKR 5-7 million annually
depending on the size of the Provincial ADP. This offers a grand opportunity for grassroots development by involving
communities in decision making about development of their area.

Economic Growth through Enterprise &
Value Chain Development
Attaining sustainable impact at scale is the goal of most SRSPs
projects. Private Sector & Market Development approach is
progressively being realized as prospective means for achieving
this objective. SRSP has implemented a few among various
approaches in PSD in almost all the Projects. PSD seeks to
catalyze a process that results in a market system that is
Competitive, Inclusive and Resilient. The approach focuses on
building the capacity, leveraging the incentives and resources of
the private sector, ensuring the beneficial inclusion of the very

Soon, SRSP became a major player in the affected areas and
helped rebuild 62,000 houses in one of the biggest community
driven housing programme. Similarly during IDP crisis of 2009
and floods of 2010, SRSP played a significant role in leveraging
resources and providing humanitarian assistance to the affected
communities. It became one of the largest implementing
partners for UNHCR by reaching out to over 4 million internally
displaced within shortest possible time. SRSPs support included
rehabilitation of communities through reviving livelihoods,
enhancing an access to social sector services and reconstruction
of infrastructure. Currently, SRSP manages its humanitarian
programs through a Programme Support Unit, 14 field Offices
and 300 staff members. Security situation remained a major
challenge for delivering services in disaster affected areas. SRSP
in disaster affected areas has so far implemented 63 projects
of diversified nature in partnership with several national and
international donors in both KP and FATA. Some of the major
partners included PPAF, UNHCR, UNICEF, UNOCHA, UNFPA,
UNDP, IKF, ICMC, WFP and many other private philanthropists
for supporting initiatives in relief, recovery and rehabilitation
phases. In additions, It has also taken on Board key government
institutions e.g. FATA secretariat, PDMA/PaRRSA, NDMA,
