NOTE FROM
THE CHAIRMAN
Making its second year as a not-for-prot company, FIDA has continued to strengthen its operational and
management systems to improve transparency and increase the impact of its work in the eld. FIDA has
also worked on developing a comprehensive social mobilization strategy, to help develop its current 365
Community Organizations to the next tier of Village Organizations in the future.
This year, FIDA focused on building its expertise in alternative rural energy. Not only have we built over
one thousand biogas plants in the last four years, we have also introduced solar energy in the region
through solar submersible pumps that are being used to power drinking water supply schemes in seven
Union Councils in Dera Ismail Khan and Tank.
Working with government and donors to help implement the Education Sector Plan in the province, FIDA
partnered with Adam Smith International to build the capacity to Parent Teacher Councils (PTCs) in Karak,
Kohat, Lakki Marwat and Dera Ismail Khan. This proved to be a good learning experience for our staff and
an opportunity to build our portfolio in education.
Despite working in traditionally conservative areas, a key area of concentration for FIDA during 2013 has
been womens empowerment through advocacy campaigns on womens rights and the inclusion of women
in livelihood development initiatives and health and hygiene promotion. It is important the organization
continues to promote gender equality and increased women participation in all its project interventions.
Going forward, FIDA will continue to develop its focus areas by learning through past experiences and
collaborating with local stakeholders to strengthen and expand our work in social mobilization, especially
engaging youth in this development process. FIDA will also work towards expanding our geographical
coverage to other parts of the province, including Chitral.
I am grateful to our board members and donors for their continued support and would like to thank our
staff and community members, who are our core strength and asset.

THE YEAR IN
REVIEW
In 2013, FIDA implemented four projects in Dera Ismail Khan, Tank, Karak, Kohat, Bannu and Lakki Marwat.
Our major focus included concluding a two year post-ood rehabilitation Water Sanitation, Health &
Hygiene (WASH) project in two Union Councils in D. I. Khan and implementing a Multi Sectorial Livelihood
Support Program in four Union Councils in D. I. Khan and three in Tank. The post ood rehabilitation
project is the rst long-term project FIDA has implemented through Oxfam GB. Over 18,000 men, women
and children have directly benetted from health and hygiene awareness, latrines, water purication
and management systems and drinking water supply schemes (DWSS). FIDA worked closely with the local
government to repair six of their water supply schemes and also helped build the capacity of government
line authority representatives.
Using this experience, FIDA used solar submersible pumps to power seven drinking water supply schemes
under its Community Based Stabilization through Multi Sectorial Livelihood Support Program, funded
by the German Embassy in Islamabad. One drinking water supply scheme was constructed in each Union
Council as model initiative to foster its work in Alternative Rural Energy. Hundreds of rural householdswere given access to renewable, clean energy source through the provision of 245 biogas plants. As
Pakistans energy crisis continues to grow, it is imperative to provide alternative energy solutions to rural
communities.
To help diversify household incomes, FIDA provided men, women and youth with small grants, vocational
skill trainings and livelihood packages to help increase their household income. This project also involved
the establishment of seven handicraft skill centers for women and a display center in Dera Ismail Khan
and Rawalpindi.
Expanding its work on gender & advocacy under the Gender Equity Program, FIDA led another advocacy
campaign against gender-based violence in D. I. Khan, Tank, Karak, Kohat and Bannu through a seriesof seminars, school events and roundtables, as well as an extensive radio and an extensive IEC and radio
campaign.
This year, FIDA also moved a step further for the promotion of education by building the capacity of 783
Parent Teacher Councils (PTCs) in Dera Ismail Khan, Lakki Marwat, Karak and Kohat. This initiative was
part of the UKs Department For International Development (DFID) partnership with government of Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa in implementing a Education Sector Plan (ESP) aimed at improving access to and the quality
of education throughout the province.

INTRODUTION
Origin and Formation
Established in 2004, Foundation of Integrated
Development Action (FIDA) was founded by Faiysal
AliKhan and his grandfather, the late Brigadier
Sadiq Nawaz Khan Awan in response to the years of
government neglect and resulting human suffering
in Dera Ismail Khan and its surrounding areas in
the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The district
was chosen as a starting point as our founders
wanted to give something back to their ancestralhomeland, but also because of its multi-ethnic,
multi-linguistic composition and its location as a
crossroads neighbored by Punjab, Balochistan and
the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).
These factors made this area a challenging yet
deserving place to begin development work.
FIDA was originally registered as a non-prot,
non-governmental, social welfare organization
under the Social Welfare Ordinance of 1961. After
expanding its portfolio during emergency responses
in 2009 and 2010, FIDA felt the need to strengthen
its internal systems and institutional capacity,
after which it was re-registered in April 2011 as a
not-for-prot company under Pakistans Companies
Ordinance of 1984.
In 2012, FIDA became a member of the Rural
Support Programmes Network (RSPN), the largest
development network of Pakistan, with an outreach
of over 35 million rural Pakistanis. All RSPs
have a common approach to development: Social
Mobilization. Social Mobilization is based on thebelief that poor communities have an innate
potential to manage their limited resources if they
organize themselves and are provided technical and
nancial support1.
Our Approach
VisionA society built around good governance and
democratic attitudes, supported by a sound economy
and the sustainable use of resources.

MissionTo mobilize and build the capacity of existing
political and social structures and to act as a link
between civil society and marginalized communities,
thereby empowering all stakeholders to achieve their
identied development goals in a sustainable and
replicable manner.
Guiding PrinciplesOne of the key elements in FIDA's approach to
development is cooperation. An integral part of
this cooperation includes partnerships with donor
agencies and other NGOs. It is FIDAs belief that
sharing of resources, knowledge and expertise will
lead to a more efcient and sustainable system
of development. FIDA has therefore positioned
itself as an entry point for organizations wishing
to do work in the districts of operations. This is a
signicant role in areas where a major challenge of
development lies in establishing relationships, trust
and credibility. FIDA has already established these
critical elements and can provide the resources and
access needed to implement development projects.
In an attempt to reach as many people as possible,
FIDA works with a wide variety of communities and
groups throughout the region. FIDA also works to
create links and partnerships with neighboring
districts, in order to strengthen and replicate the
work that is being done.
FIDA believes in a multi-sector, community-driven
approach to development. Rather than dealing
with single issues in isolation, FIDA formulatescomprehensive strategies that help communities
deal with their problems holistically. FIDA also works
FIDA GEOGRAPHICAL OUTREACH
5/23/2018 FIDA Annual Report 2013
10/36
10
Foundation for Integrated Development Action (FIDA)Annual Report 2013
to build and strengthen the capacity of Community
Organizations (COs) and Village Organizations
(VOs), thereby creating social transformation that
is meaningful and sustainable.
A cornerstone of FIDAs existence has been a long-
term approach to development. Therefore, the rst
ve years of operation were viewed as a research
and development period, allowing time in the
eld to understand the traditional mechanisms,
structures and cultures of the areas, as well as the
development needs of the communities. Building
meaningful relationships and maintaining integrity
of process were imperative when working in areas
that were often hostile to NGOs, suspicious of
outsiders and vulnerable to security issues.
This strategy enabled FIDA to respond quickly and
effectively to the displacement caused by military
operations in South Waziristan in 2009, acting as
the sole implementing partner for the Provincial
Government, UNHCR and others and assisting
over 270,000 individuals. FIDA continued this
emergency relief and rehabilitation work with the
displaced communities and did so again after the
unprecedented oods that occurred in 2010 and
2011.
Following this series of emergency humanitarian
responses, FIDA focused on building internal
capacity and returning to its core competencies.
These include alternative rural energy, community
physical infrastructure, livelihood development,
gender & advocacy health and education. Over the
course of its operations, FIDA has implemented
more than 50 self-nanced and donor funded
projects by the German Embassy in Islamabad (FFO),
Oxfam GB, USAID (Gender Equity Program & SmallGrants Ambassadors Fund Program), World Wildlife
Foundation (WWF), UNFPA, UNICEF, Australian Aid,
Association for Development in Pakistan (ADP),
Governors Development Program (GDP)and Adam
Smith International (ASI).
Institutional Capacity
FIDA developed strong nancial and operating
systems in order to register itself as a not-for-
prot company under Pakistans Companies
Ordinance. Comprehensive Standard Operating
Procedures (SOPs) were established and have
been implemented since September 2010. Internal
and external audits are conducted on a quarterlybasis by internationally reputed rms like Anjum
Asim Shahid Rehman (AASR) (Grant Thorntons
representatives in Pakistan), KPMG and Awais
Haider. Capacity assessment exercises have also
been carried out by KPMG and the UNFPA.
FIDA has its head ofce in Islamabad and a Regional
Ofce in Dera Ismail Khan where its project and
eld staff are based. A dynamic Board of Directors
comprised of the following individuals governs the
team:

SOCIAL
MOBILIZATIONFIDA has a participatory approach to development
based on the concept of social mobilization. This
process consists of organizing communities into
grass root institutions that gradually evolve into
larger institutions at the village and Union Council
level. Through social mobilization, households
are organized into settlement or mohallah level
Community Organizations (COs). FIDA builds the
capacity of these COs to enable them to become
self-sustaining and self-governing grassroots
level institutions that are able to mobilize their
internal and external resources to participate in theimplementation and monitoring of development
initiatives in their area. Social mobilization and its
consequent processes enable communities to realize
their inherent potential, create social awareness
and avail capacity building opportunities that allow
them to become self reliant in the future.
Community mobilization is the foundation for all
of FIDAs development initiatives. Interventions
are designed on the basis of need arisen through
community organizations at a grassroots level. COs
take part in implementation, supervision and quality
assurance through cost contribution, managing and
supervising the physical construction or delivery
of schemes and above all they are the major
stakeholder in social collateral between FIDA and
beneciaries for transparency and sustainability of
the interventions. Once the COs are equipped with
requisite knowledge and skill, they are entrustedwith the nomination of beneciaries, in accordance
with FIDAs pre-designed selection criteria.
Following the RSPNs three tier social mobilization
model, COs are the rst tier of social mobilization,
consisting of 15-20 households. COs eventually
5/23/2018 FIDA Annual Report 2013
13/36
13
Foundation for Integrated Development Action (FIDA)Annual Report 2013
evolve into Village Organizations having more
visibility, voice and access. VOs consist of
representatives from each CO in the village. The
third tier represents VOs from the entire Union Councilto form a Local Support Organization (LSO), an institutioncapable of mobilizing and implementing larger projectsand create productive linkages between the public andprivate service delivery organizations.
To date, FIDA has formed and fostered 351 communityorganizations and 20 Village Organizations (VOs) in 23Union Councils of D. I. Khan, Tank, Frontier Region Tank
and South Waziristan Agency.
Currently the greatest challenge for FIDA is mainstreaminggender in culturally sensitive areas that have tribal rootsand are resistant to social change. A deteriorating law andorder situation has made communities suspicious aboutNGOs and development work. Over time, FIDA has beenable to win the condence of the communities and hasformed 54 women and mixed Community Organizationsin D. I. Khan and Tank and is taking a more concentratedapproach towards inclusion of women in CommunityOrganizations.

CAMPAIGNS & PROJECTS
Community StabilizationThrough Multi-SectorialLivelihood Support Program
After a successful partnership in providing
alternative energy through bio-gas, the Federal
Foreign Ofce (FFO) of Germany in Islamabad
supported FIDA to improve the standard of living
and economic prospects for a hundred villages in
Dera Ismail Khan and Tank. This multi-sectoral
initiative aimed to diversify and increase income
opportunities for poor individuals, especially
women, through advocacy sessions, small grants,
vocational skill trainings, small infrastructure
projects, natural resource management activities
and the creation of market access for women home
based workers. The project has benetted a total of2,691 households in nine months.
Organized community participation was the core of
all project activities to ensure community ownership
and project sustainability. FIDA formed and trained
102 Community Organizations (COs) that took the
lead in nominating beneciaries, identifying small-
scale infrastructure schemes and monitoring the
construction of biogas plants. Communities also
made a 50% contribution (in the form of labor or
material) for the construction of biogas plants and
20% for community physical infrastructure projects
that included link roads, street pavements and
water supply schemes.
Building on its work on alternative energy, FIDA
built another 245 biogas plants (140 in D. I. Khan
and 105 in Tank) to provide rural households with
renewable fuel for cooking purposes. Beneciaries
were also given training in the operation and
maintenance of the plants, to ensure they are
used efciently. Promoting solar energy was also a
large component of this project. As access to clean
potable water is a basic necessity for communitiesin these target villages, solar powered pumps were
used to power seven drinking water supply schemes.
A drinking water supply scheme was built in each
target Union Council as a model initiative that
benetted an average of 200 households per Union
Council. This, in addition to other infrastructure
schemes including link roads, water management
systems and repairing of government drinking water
supply schemes (DWSS), gave these 100 villages
access to basic facilities, thereby, improving their
standard of living.

The inclusion of livelihood development packages
was a new initiative for FIDA and was designed to
help vulnerable individuals increase their household
income and food security through the provision
of small enterprise grants, distribution of honey
bee hives, vegetable seeds for kitchen gardeningand fruit & tree saplings. This initiative has been
particularly favorable for women, many of whom
used the grants to open general and grocery
stores and are now able to earn prots through
home-based enterprises. Beneciaries were also
given Business Management Skills Training (BMST)
to teach them the basics of running their own
enterprise. In addition, fty young men who were
interested in setting up their own business or were
out of work attended a one-month vocational skill
training courses where they learnt about mobilerepair, computer hardware and software repair and
electric work.
In addition to providing women with livelihood
packages, fty women took part in a month long
vocational skill training in tailoring and hand
embroidery. Seven handicraft centers for women
were established in each UC to promote local
embroidery and craftwork and to encourage womento use this skill to earn an income.
Over a hundred women registered with these centers
and used them to make clothes, handbags, cushions,
shawls, baby clothes, hand-made jewelry boxes and
kitchen accessories. A display center in Dera Ismail
Khan and Rawalpindi were also established under
this project to promote the work of these centers
and to allow women direct market access without
having to go through middle men that erode their
prots and income. All the activities under thisintervention were aimed at increasing the standard
of living of the target communities.

Twenty-one advocacy sessions were arranged on
topics of women rights, the importance of education
and environmental preservation in order to
sensitize the population towards these important,
yet largely ignored issues. Through seven advocacy
sessions, more than 400 uneducated women frompoor households received basic information on the
importance of womens rights, women protection
laws, and the importance of women participation
in decision making, gender equity and developing
their livelihoods. Another 406 were sensitized
on the importance of gaining education for their
socio-economic uplift, towards a better future.
To complement the natural resource management
component of this project, seven awareness sessions
on the topic of Environment Preservation were
arranged in which more than 400 participating men
learnt about tips and techniques for maintaining
a cleaner and healthier environment, which would
help reduce costs of ill health. The inclusion of
advocacy sessions worked to fortify impacts of
other project activities through sensitization of
community, hence creating a favorable environment
for future interventions

5/23/2018 FIDA Annual Report 2013
19/36
Shahzada lost her husband during the oods in 2010, and
was left with no choice but to return to her poor parents
with an uncertain future. Her parents could only offer her
a room, as her father was old and physically impaired and
her mother was already overwhelmed with taking care of
him and trying to make ends meet.
Like many women from Dera Ismail Khan, Shahzada
had never been given an opportunity to complete her
education. To help her mother with household expenses,
Shahzada started making changairs (baskets made
with dry leaves of date trees), which she sold for meager
twenty or thirty rupees.
In 2011, through borrowed money and her own savings,
Shahzada started a small shop that sold bangles,
cosmetics, toiletries and house items for women. As she
could not afford to rent a shop, she displayed the items
in one corner of her room, where women from the local
neighborhood would visit. Shahzadas average arupees,
which was not enough to support her son. She continued
to make changairsand also started traditional embroiderywork to help her earn enough to send her son to school.
When FIDAs staff met with Shahzada, now 22, she
was a perfect candidate for Business Management Skill
Training, one of the many components under a multi
sectorial livelihood support project through the support
of the German Embassy in Islamabad. The BMST training
helped Shahzada manage records of her daily sales and
the amount she spent on inventory purchase. Once she
completed the training, Shahzada was nominated by her
local community organization as a potential beneciaryfor a cash grant of thirty ve thousand rupees.
This grant enabled Shahzada to increase the quantity and
variety of the products in her shop. She was provided
technical assistance by FIDAs enterprise ofcer and has
now increased her daily income to ve to six hundred
rupees, nancially empowering her to enroll her son in
school. Shazada is grateful to be given an opportunity in
an area where women are restricted to their homes and
have limited opportunities for economic development.

Improving WASH Facilitiesin Flood Affected Areas
In the summer of 2010, Pakistan experienced
devastating monsoon oods that inundated one
fth of the country. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was one
of the worst affected provinces. FIDA partnered
with Oxfam GB and the European Commission to
improve WASH facilities in the two most ood
affected Union Councils in Dera Ismail Khan.
From August 2011 till December 2013, FIDA was
able to provide over 18,000 men, women and
children with access to safe drinking water and
improved hygiene practices in 48 ood affected
villages in UC Parova and Naivella through the
following activities:
Formation and capacity building of twenty
Community Based Organizations (CBOs),
including ten women CBOs, for identifying
and prioritizing community health
problems. Apart from their engagement
in actual project implementation, these
CBOs became self-governing institutional
entities registered and recognized by the
Department of Social Welfare.
140 Community Health Volunteers (CHVs)
(including 70 women) were trained and
conducted 742 health & hygiene sessions
attended by over 1,600 individuals. These
sessions outlined health precautions
and hygiene methods like hand washing
techniques, perils of open defecation,
proper disposal and sanitation methods,
personal hygiene, water and sanitation
management that would prevent illness,
especially those caused from waterborne
diseases.
1,300 children participated in interactive
Child-to-Child (C2C) activities including
hand washing and snakes and ladders
games to learn about hygiene and health
practices.

In Pakistan, little priority is given to accomodate the needs ofindividuals with disabilities, especially in remote districts likeD. I. Khan. During the monsoon oods of 2010, the disabledpopulation living in village Gara Noor Khan became the mostvulnerable victims of this natural catastrophe damaged alarge amount of infrastructure, including sanitation facilities.People had to resort to open defecation, which increased thelikelihood of illnesses.
Sabo Bibi is a mother of eighteen-year-old Sabir, who hasstruggled with a mental and physical disability since childhood.She spoke about the difculties she faced as a result of nothaving a bathroom in her home. Being a woman, it is veryembarrassing for me to carry my son outside our home so hecan relive himself. As I get older I nd it difcult to carryhim to more isolated areas but I have no other choice; theonly latrine we had was damaged by the oods. Sakina Bibi,who belongs to the same village, faces the same issue withher fourteen-year old daughter, Shumaila. She told FIDA, Itis always an unpleasant experience for me to take Shumaila
outside. People do not understand her needs and she oftencries from embarrassment when other children made fun ofher. Many times she does not even want to go out to avoidhumiliation.
When FIDA started working in these areas to restore andrehabilitate infrastructure damaged by the oods, homeslike Sakina and Sabos were given priority because of theirchildren. After FIDAs team built latrines in their homes withdisabled access, Sabo was very relieved, Allah has listenedto my prayers. Now Sabir can use the toilet himself with
little assistance from me and this has given him so muchself condence. Sakina Bibi, was very grateful that Shumailacould now use a washroom in the comfort of her own homeand no longer has to be ridiculed by other children.

Building the Capacity of ParentTeacher Councils
Parent Teacher Councils (PTCs) have a pivotalrole in school management and improving thequality of education in public schools. PTCs
play an important role in discouraging teacherabsenteeism, identifying missing facilities inschools and involving parents in their childrenseducation. Typically, each Parent Teacher Councilcomprises of ve parents, a senior schoolteacheror head master and a retired governmentemployee.
In June 2013, FIDA partnered with Adam SmithInternational (ASI) under the Education SectorPlan (ESP) for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to build thecapacity of 783 PTCs through trainings on record-
keeping and nancial management to enablethem to efciently utilize government funds formissing facilities in schools.
FIDA worked in close liaison with the DistrictEducation Department to provide trainings to1,861 PTC members (994 women and 867 men)in D. I. Khan, Karak, Kohat and Lakki Marwat.Separate training sessions were arranged forwomen and men and each PTC was given a detailedbrieng about the governments EducationSector Plan and the role envisioned for PTCs inimproving service delivery. They were taught touse karwai registers, as well as cash and stockregisters. Follow up visits revealed many were
able to identify and provide missing facilities intheir schools that improved the infrastructure andlearning environment for hundreds of students.

them from exercising their rights through the state justice system.
The district-level seminars focused on facilitating the active participation of lawyers, governmentofcials and NGO representatives to enable women from all backgrounds to access information abouttheir rights and availing of state facilities including shelters, courts etc. In the provincial seminar,an interactive discussion took place on the current laws in the country provisioned against GBV andthe need to improve and oversee their implementation.
A large component of this campaign involved disseminating information on pro-women legislation,
help lines and local shelters through IEC material and an extensive radio campaign that was also airedin adjoining districts Bhakkar and Layyah. Through this campaign, FIDA was able to engage 1,212individuals along with thousands of indirect beneciaries. Awareness alone cannot tackle gender-based violence, especially in areas with tribal roots that are conservative and tend to adhere tocultural customs and norms. Therefore FIDA aims to continue its work on advocating for womensrights and protection at the grassroots level to try and create an attitudinal shift in society in thefuture.

Sumera had a promising career in medicine while living in Kohat with her parents. She was only 25when she got married and became a mother to an infant daughter. Her husband, an engineer born andraised in Kohat but now based in Abu Dhabi, seemed a suitable match in her parents eyes.
A few months after Sumera moved to Abu Dhabi, her parents started receiving disturbing letters fromher, narrating stories of physical and psychological torture by her husband. Despite many attempts,Sumeras parents were unable to contact her and soon after, they stopped receiving letters.
Gravely concerned, Sumeras father and a few of her male relatives ew to Abu Dhabi to look forher. After months of searching, she was found unconscious in the washroom of a disserted buildingwhere her husband had kept her captive and subjected her to physical and mental torture. Her bodywas marred with countless cigarette burns and she was often drugged before enduring other forms ofabuse. She reported, My husband would come home intoxicated and would look for excuses to beatme up. Whether it was a loss in his investments or simply him having a bad day at work, I was theone to blame for all his troubles. When he had nothing to ght over, he would abuse and accuse meof having illicit relations with men. I dont know how I survived that living hell for over three years.
Sumeras troubles did not end even after she and her husband returned to Kohat to her parents. Herhusband began harassing the family for custody of their infant daughter and Sumera once again foundherself in a vulnerable situation with no lawyer ready to ght her case.
Sumera said, Every lawyer that I approached would drop our case after being bribed by my husband.He threatened to kill me if I didnt agree to give my daughter to him. Her husbands family wasinuential and she was unable to register her case in court. After several lawyers, her case was nallytaken up by Mr. Ghyas-ud-din, a lawyer who had participated in FIDAs seminars on womens rightsand pro-women legislation.
After attending these sessions, Ghyas was inspired to offer legal aid services for GBV victims in Kohat.He also volunteered to lecture at subsequent awareness sessions on legal options for women lookingto access the justice system.
Sumera was full of praise for him, Ghyas offered to help us when no one else was willing to take up
our case. He has not only got my case registered in court, but has also helped me exercise my right toclaim charges against my husband for being abusive. With his help, I feel like a much stronger womanand I see in him a ray of hope for other women in my area.
