Editorial

The arrival of the month of August brings to mind fond memories of that festive day –which invariably comes with the passing of each year –when our people’s spirit and national loyalty is revitalized in a cheerful celebration of green. Sadly, due to the calamitous juncture we currently find ourselves in –after the fateful Crash of flight ED-202, target killngs in Karachi and the flood disaster which has changed the lives of so many–the imminent Independence Day celebration will be a day of mourning for some.

A sense of grief and sympathy for those affected by these back-to-back disasters hangs over the WPF Team. Yet more than anything there is a collective realization that we must rally our spirits and soldier on in the days ahead. In the backdrop of these events the WPF was to undertake many activities that will shape the SRHR landscape of Pakistan in the future –mainly the Women Deliver Debrief session aimed at rationalizing an optimal strategy for the realization of rights-based maternal health in Pakistan and the 3rd bi-annual National Project Steering Committee (NPSC) meeting set to review the progress made under the EU-WPF funded “Hamara Kal” initiative during the last 6 months. Moreover, WPF also formalized a partnership with Ministry of Youth Affairs to hold the launch of International Year of Youth ( as declared by the United Nations) in Pakistan.

Here’s to hoping Independence Day is a happy one for all. Read On!

Life Skills Based Education - Formal Education Systems

The month of July was dedicated to curriculum preparation following the decision to club together level I and level II of the Life Skills curriculum. In house preparation to standardize the curriculum has been completed in consultation with implementing partners. The outline of the curriculum was also approved by National Project Steering Committee. The curriculum will be sent into printing during August.

Moreover, after consensus was reached with all the Heads of schools and the representatives of the Education Department, it was agreed that the Training of Trainers (ToT) for Level-2 will be held in August. Moreover, it was also agreed that 8 sessions of Level-2 will be completed in September 2010 while whole-of-school activities will be conducted in the respective schools in September.

Empowering Girls – Transforming Communities

Baseline Study Shared with Public Works Department

David and Lucile Packard Foundation organises a forum –that takes place on a bi-monthly basis –with its partners and relevant government departments to promote networks for the improvement of SRHR/Family Planning in Sindh. Besides reviewing the progress of various initiatives between NGOs and the Ministries of Population, Education and Women Development, this meeting focused on the sharing baseline information collected by the WPF and Indus Resource Center –both of whom work on youth empowerment issues.

Programme Coordinator, Empowering Girls – Transforming Communities, shared the findings of the baseline survey with the audience, which were well received. Reinforced by feedback from participants the report of the baseline will be finalized and shared with Packard Foundation.

The forum was also informed about the MDG10 summit which will take place in September 2010 in New York and the Joint Action Plan (JAP) submitted to UN Secretary General by international NGOs including WPF. These documents were also shared with participants of the forum via email the next day.

Dr. Yasmeen, Senior Country Advisor Packard Foundation emphasized the need for revising project Logical Framework Approach (LFA) with respect to the findings of the baseline study. PF agreed to participate in the next activity scheduled in project districts to meet various stakeholders and get a sense of the community’s response to the project.

Rights-driven Institutionalization of Sexual and Reproductive Health in Pakistan

National Project Steering Committee Holds its Biannual Progress Review

One of the planned activities under the European Union supported initiative “Rights Driven Institutionalization of SRHR in Pakistan” is to organize biannual meetings of the National Project Steering Committee (NPSC). The 3rd biannual NPSC meeting was organized on the 14th of July, 2010, and was attended by 12 NPSC members. This meeting sought to review the progress made on project implementation in the last six months; share the work plan for the next six months and solicit the Committee Members’ technical input and recommendations on the implementation strategy in light of emerging challenges.

Programme Manager Institutional Strengthening presented a review of progress made regarding project implementation and achievement of set targets –as per LFA of the project –in 2009 and 2010. Additionally, challenges encountered during implementation were also imparted to members of the NPSC. A discussion was also held on the implementation progress, implementation strategy and emerging challenges of the project.

The participants emphasized that the project should ensure access to youth friendly SRHR services especially for girls. Additionally, Programme Manager, Institutional Strengthening elaborated on one of the objectives of the project aimed at “Making Health Management System Youth Friendly and client-centered" and assured this aspect will be given particular attention.

Findings and outcomes of the research on the ‘Status of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights of Young People in Pakistan’ were also shared with the participants of NPSC meeting. They were informed of the study’s aim of acquiring a clearer picture of SRH Rights’ situation of young people in Pakistan and the fact that the four most infringed rights –identified through the said research –will be used as basis for the development of curriculum for the students and a complementary teacher’s guide.

The Country Representative, WPF, shared details of the consultation process undertaken with implementing partners–aimed at developing an outline for capacity building and sensitization manuals for five different stakeholders i.e. media persons, healthcare providers, religious leaders, elected representatives (government officials) and CSOs –with the NPSC members. The members recommended the development of a separate sensitization manual for enabling environment and a capacity building manual for the institutionalization of SRHR.

Similarly, the NPSC was also informed about difficulties that were faced in engagement of parents at public schools SRHR education of their children. The strategy of reverse education for parents was proposed to overcome this challenge, and WPF’s experience in this area was also highlighted. NPSC participants gave their recommendations seeking to bridge the gap between child and parents. In this regard, they believed that it would be interesting to float messages –through IEC and media –addressing myths that prevent children from raising SRHR concerns with their parents. The meeting also agreed on the importance of students being encouraged to identify these myths and taboos.

Programme Manager SRHR Education, informed the participants of the decision to “roll out” the curriculum in schools at once instead of in two stages i.e. Level 1 (LSBE) and Level 2 (SRHR), and justified this decision by arguing that imparting skills and knowledge separately cannot generate desired behavior change outcomes. She also shared the decision of merging WPF’s students’ curriculum with Aahung's curriculum. She emphasized the importance of organizations implementing the SRHR curriculum having a standardized curriculum which could be proposed to the government to consider its implementation on a national scale. In this regard, she added that a number of meetings were held between Aahung and WPF to develop a basic uniform curriculum, which other organizations can also access according to their assessments and needs. She informed the NPSC that a few sections i.e. those regarding masturbation, wet dreams and menstruation were deleted from the curriculum on the advice of implementing partners. The participants showed concern about the deletion of these sessions as they were considered to be very important contents of the SRHR curriculum. Nearing the end of her presentation she shared contents of the draft curriculum and asked the participants for their technical input.

At the end of the meeting, NPSC unanimously agreed that WPF will present the recommendations of the meeting to the European Union for approval. Subsequently, the NPSC participants’ recommendations were presented to an EU delegation.

European Union Reviews the Project Progress

Subsequent to the NPSC meeting, and as per the requests of the European Union Delegation to Pakistan, a project progress review meeting for the EU-WPF co-financed “Rights Driven Institutionalization of SRHR in Pakistan” project was organized on 14th July 2010. The meeting was held at the WPF office in Islamabad. The EU review team comprised of Mr. Arshad Rashid, Acting Head of Operations/Development Adviser, Mr. Kaisar Koukolus, Contracts Officer, Mr. Nayyar Riaz, Finance Officer, and Mr. Adil Sohail, Accountant. WPF was represented by the Country Representative, Institutional Strengthening (IS) team, Managers We Act, SRHR Education, Monitoring & Evaluation, and Finance.

The objectives of the meeting included sharing of 2010 work plan and reviewing implementation progress made during 2009/10; sharing NPSC’s recommendations regarding emerging challenges and seeking EU’s input on how to address them in compliance with contractual procedures.

Manager IS Programme, presented an overview of the implementation progress by comparing the foreseen targets outlined in the project LFA with actual achievements in light of indicators stated in the LFA. Discussions were held on implementation progress, implementation strategies, challenges faced during implementation and recommendations garnered from the NPSC meeting. The following is a summary of discussion on key elements.

Country representative, WPF highlighted the exposure visit of partners planned for South Asia that is scheduled in the 2010 work plan. Initially the exposure visit was planned for India but due to political divergence between the countries and other technical reasons, such as difficulties in getting visas, the venue was changed. As endorsed by the NPSC, either Bangladesh/Indonesia/Iran was proposed instead, considering their relevance and technical expertise. The EU delegation advised WPF to have this change formally approved by the EU through exchange of letters.

Keeping in view the justifications for changes in the project strategies mentioned by WPF, the delegation acknowledged the NPSC recommendations and advised WPF to come up with a formal proposal to EU reflecting these recommendations.

WPF’s proposed modification in implementation strategy and NPSC recommendation for addressing the challenges encountered in the project’s implementation phase were acknowledged by the EU delegation. For formal approval of these changes by EU, WPF will submit letters to the EU for consideration.

WPF and Plan-Pakistan Collaborate

A meeting was held between WPF and Plan-Pakistan on 21st July, 2010 to review efforts with regard to collaboration for improving the SRHR indicators of adolescents and youth in Pakistan. It was discussed that WPF and Plan-Pakistan will continue their partnership for inclusion of the National Adolescent Development Policy Framework into Youth, Education and Health Policies. Policy dialogues will be conducted jointly with all Chief Secretaries including in Gilgit-Baltistan and AJK.

Moreover, it was also agreed that Plan Pakistan will partner with WPF for the Launch Ceremony of International Year of Youth, which will be held in Islamabad on 11th August, 2010.

We live in a country, 51% of whose population comprises of the womenfolk. However, the numerical strength does little to make these women people of much importance. Far from realizing balanced gender dynamics, Pakistani women surface only as losers even in their quest to acquire the basic human right to life. Almost 30,000 Pakistani women lose their lives each year due to reproductive health complications that are absolutely preventable. Sadly, however, as one woman becomes a mere statistic on the maternal mortality count after every 30 minutes, we continue to move on with our lives, oblivious to the long-lasting ripple effect that the high maternal mortality rate has on the whole society.

Over the years, there has been a lot of rhetoric from the corridors of power on ensuring safe motherhood for all and strategies to meet Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 5 which focuses on bringing down global Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) by three quarters by year 2015. However, with the national MMR still standing at 276 maternal deaths per 100, 000 live births, there is little need to justify that tangible change has made itself evident only in policy papers and is yet to touch the lives of Pakistani mothers.

The cry to achieve MDG 5 has once again been raised from the Government quarters in the run up of the United Nations-led summit on the Millennium Development Goals in September this year. The Government has issued Pakistan Millennium Development Goals Report 2010 (PMDGR), which is aimed at highlighting development challenges facing Pakistan, building consensus and creating ownership of all stakeholders on various issues of concern. However, the report comes at best as a disappointment for civil society organizations that have been engaged in initiatives to achieve MDG 5. Not very unexpectedly, the report tries very hard to down play the dismal state of affairs – in the process often sounding technically flawed and providing an overall sense of contradiction.

It is needless to mention that Pakistan suffers from an alarmingly high Maternal Mortality Rate. However, in spite of the grim situation, the report claims that Pakistan is ‘on-track’ vis-à-vis reducing maternal mortality rate in the country. This comes as a stark contradiction as PMDR 2010 itself claims that Pakistan is lagging in 3 out of the 4 indicators discussed under MDG 5. The question is then of basic common sense: how can the MDG target of bringing MMR to 140 be achieved when progress on 3 out of 4 indicators is not satisfactory?

Moreover, the analysis is unable to capture the scope of this predicament holistically. Firstly, it sports no reference to abortion, when the incidence of unsafe abortions serves as an important cause of maternal deaths in Pakistan. Secondly, maternal mortality has been dealt with as a public health agenda when Pakistan is a signatory to UN Human Rights Council’s resolution on Preventable Maternal Mortality, Morbidity and Human Rights, which acknowledges maternal mortality as a human rights concern. Thirdly, the weight of the whole strategy to reduce maternal deaths has been founded on the assumption that increased access to Lady Health Visitors (LHVs) will solve the problem. However, no evaluation of the actual impact that LHVs have with regard to MMR has been referred to. Moreover, there are a number of other underlying causes such as nutrition, early marriages and abortion that have not been addressed. Additionally, it has been ignored that service delivery efforts alone that are divorced from advocacy at grass root level cannot bring substantial change.

Likewise, the report squarely focuses on the overall national status of progress and does not delve on the situation in the provinces. If only the example of Balochistan is considered, it is important to point out that while the average MMR of the province stands at 856 maternal deaths per 100, 000 live births, the situation in far flung districts of the province is likely to be even worse! Hence, no report on the maternal mortality situation of Pakistan can be deemed comprehensive without reference to the provinces.

To achieve tangible results, it is most imperative that the role of civil society be enhanced in future plans of action. The public sector has financial and technical limitations that can be complimented in collaboration with non-profit organizations. Moreover, the role of provinces also needs due attention to ensure efficient allocation of resources in primary healthcare sector. Effective use of media needs to be made for raising widespread awareness about safe motherhood among the masses and all underlying issues responsible for maternal deaths in Pakistan need to be addressed including the incidence of unsafe abortions. Maternal mortality should be analysed from the rights perspective instead of dealing with it squarely as a public health agenda. More resources need to be allocated in the health sector and specific needs of the provinces need thorough analyses. Finally, developing countries are lobbying to club the health related MDGs. This course of action needs to be opposed as Pakistan continues to lag despite efforts being made to cater for each MDG individually. If the health-MDGs are clubbed, there is great risk of neglecting Goal 5, hence rolling back the little progress that has been made so far and jeopardizing its achievement by 2015.

UN proclaims International Year of Youth in 2010

In an effort to harness the energy, imagination and initiative of the world’s youth in overcoming the challenges facing humankind, from enhancing peace to boosting economic development, the United Nations today proclaimed an International Year of Youth starting on 12 August 2010.

“The International Year is about advancing the full and effective participation of youth in all aspects of society,” UN Focal Point on Youth Nicola Shepherd said. “We encourage all sectors of society to work in partnership with youth and youth organizations to better understand their needs and concerns and to recognize the contributions that they can make to society.”

In its resolution proclaiming the Year, the General Assembly called on governments, civil society, individuals and communities worldwide to support activities at local and international levels to mark the event.

Under the theme ‘Dialogue and Mutual Understanding,’ the Year aims to encourage dialogue and understanding across generations and promote the ideals of peace, respect for human rights and freedoms, and solidarity.

It also encourages young people to dedicate themselves to fostering progress, including the attainment of the UN Millennium Development Goals, which seek to slash a host of social ills, ranging from extreme poverty and hunger to maternal and infant mortality to lack of access to education and health care, all by 2015.

Several international events are already scheduled throughout the year, including the Fifth World Youth Congress from 31 July to 13 August in Istanbul, and the World Conference for Youth in Mexico City from 24 to 27 August. Both gatherings will focus on youth and sustainable development in the context of the MDGs.

The inaugural Youth Olympic Games in Singapore from 14 to 26 August will seek to inspire youth around the world to embrace, embody and express the Olympic values of excellence, friendship and respect.
