Introduction to the Institute


IDSP's inception as an organization was a step in recognizing the need of conceptually clear, technically sound and emotionally stable human resource development. IDSP's core has been focusing the individuals who would act as catalysts in the development arena and will work towards diversification of the development work and juxtaposing it people centered notions of culture, spirituality thus sparking a funnel of social transformation. IDSP's recognition as a learning institute comes in a variety of flavors. The first is developing a national academic institution in Balochistan which is generally not familiar with its educational background within Pakistan. The second was the trust on local young human resource to lead its intellectual portfolio. The third was to continuously invest on people with little on no formal educational backgrounds. Finally developing understanding on unique frameworks in most cases alien to development such as culture, religion and civilization and starting processes of building self esteem around these themes. The history of IDSP shows the process of human resources development, the need of love and care then the money or power. In IDSP's growth, development and its sustainability only one factor is fundamental and that is love and care for each other as human being first and then comes the work factor. The basic principle of respect, giving spaces, creating new ones according to the need and potential of the people related to IDSP is a basic principle in its learning processes. It is due to this one principle of love, care, trust, and dedication to the ordinary young people that the people within IDSP are growing and developing as well as people outside IDSP is gaining more self empowerment then before. The young leaders of IDSP have understood one fundamental lesson and that is, trust all people and invest in people by creating learning spaces. Today IDSP raises its own resources for its core programs, two of its senior members are editors of development journals, while one second level faculty member is bringing out a research journal. The young faculty members are policy advisors to government, funding agencies, training programs. Each

one of IDSP member has developed at least 20 young people of Pakistan. Who in turn organizes more meaningful spaces for the young people in their own communities! IDSP has now three kinds of graduates, one that completed six years of intensive education and training and is now IDSP's managers of learning's. The second tier is their own interns who are now teaching and doing projects, they have completed four years of intense education and training. The third level consists of its course learners, interns, project based learners. All its learners will reach the same level as its senior ones. Pakistan needs a large number of such people who are willing to devote part of their life in making paths for others to walk on and then create their own. If we do not do this we will not be the kind of people that Allah wants us to be. That people needs to be understood from their actions and perceptions and not by their symbolic way of life and believe. We need love, care, and new meaningful learning spaces, less competition more cooperation, less criticism more forward looking critique less discouragement more encouragement with hope and enlightenment. We have now more then 200 learners from long term theory practice based courses, over thirty people remained or are in IDSP as development thinkers and practitioners. Numerous sessions on myriad topics have given people a fresh breath of air in our public debates and dialogues. Our researches have been extremely useful for policy development. IDSP's pilot testing course was the initiation of a generative process of learning in various dimensions of development. Its core has been working with the community development workers or the young people aspiring to become development activities. The pilot testing course was evaluated by a third party and feasibility was developed. The 1999 feasibility defined five clear areas programmatic thrusts for IDSP. Certificate and Diploma courses in community development. Synthesizing and applying research Initiating process projects Initiating Public Debate and Dialogue Providing transformatory advisory services PAGE-03

The three years feasibility provided the institute to develop its basis learn by practicing and develop internal systems. During this period the team was built and intellectually and professionally nurtured through one year of rigorous capacity building. For the first time in the history of Balochistan an indigenous group of young intellectuals and activists initiated a high-level theoretical and research program with outside technical help limited to focus facilitations. To fulfill the growth in the right direction and to create the open learning environment the conventional management structures were not adopted at the beginning rather opportunities were sought for developing a management structure that suits the requirements of the learning organization. Therefore in many ways just as the pilot testing course the first three years have been of powerful generative learning. In May 2001 an evaluation was launched for setting the management structure. This rigorous exercise that went on till the end of November 2001 provided the following management structure for the organization. Four program teams were developed i.e. the Academic team, Learner and Community Development team, Internal Development and Core Support team and the External Program team. IDSP keep creating space for new learners to get in the mainstream through the seminars in development block these spaces for the new areas. IDSP's role within the development sector has been creating alternative paths of development, engaging communities and young community workers in an intellectual discourse that leads to a long term process of self empowerment and community homogenization and linking the local with the global. IDSP has been successful despite numerous external threats and internal systemic weaknesses in bringing about fundamental changes in the way development is looked upon. The major accomplishments has been viewing the whole gender framework from a variety of perspectives and critiquing the role of schooling, the mainstream media and the manufacturing of consent.

IDSP'S Development Interventions


Improving Education Policy and Planning Through Knowledge Based Dialogues and Interventions
Program Rationale
Education is the IDSP's focused area and it stems from the intellectual discourse on education and schooling. The discourse highlights the PAUCITIES in the current frameworks of schooling and its linkages with imperialism and colonization. The boxed approach towards learning has been questioned and IDSP during its researches and practices of five years evolved the program. The program focuses on learning beyond boundaries inculcating a process of engaging vast, distinctive discourses of learning in the traditional societies. The project not only engages people well over 13,000 in a learning discourse but provides innovative options for restructuring the education scenario in Balochistan. The engagement with district governments, folk wisdom, culture and literary groups is not only innovative but a bold step to analyze and find new meaning of education enriched with people's aspirations and building on their self esteem.

The Team and the Leadership


The project was conceived by the IDSP Faculty. It was earlier managed by Mr. Shahjahan Baloch who later joined the Common Wealth Education Fund. It was then managed by Mr. Ali Naqvi with the support and leadership of Mr. Raziq Fahim and Mr. Naseem Ahmed. Mr. Fahim led the pilot interventions component and Mr. Naseem led the research component. The project team comprised of twenty four fellows from the project districts.

Project Objectives

To Develop local Human Resource for education policy and Planning To increase meaningful community participation in policy dialogues and analysis To centralize the issue of LEARNING in policy dialogue and analysis To build and strengthen the capacity of local government structures to formulate and execute responsive and need based educational policies To initiate pilot practices of effective educational policy processes To enhance research based knowledge and information for realist and practical policy development and implementation. This project is a practice of IDSP's thematic area of radical education and arterials pedagogy.

Project Partners

District Governments, Education Department then started reaching out communities in the districts. In all these fellows reached out to more then 13,000 people in the districts from union councils to district. These dialogues with people enabled a three pronged approach to further the process of learning and intervention. One was to do contextual researches on previously unattended issues to education and learning, second, to develop pilot models that can propose an alteration to the dominant educational processes and thirdly develop the capacity of the districts to understand policy and planning and eventually develop education policies and plans for the district government. District Education Forums are developed (recommended by the people, approved by the District assembly) in the eights districts comprising of district government, district education department, parents, students, intellectuals and the Civil Society which will be spearheading the process of the educational reforms in the districts.

INSTITUTE FOR DEVELOPMENT STUDIES & PRACTICES

The Improving Education Policy and Planning through Knowledge Based Dialogues and Interventions is a program spread over eight strategically selected districts of Balochistan. The project focused on certain critical and usually overlooked issues in the education sector. One of the key issues has been reaching out to people and finding what they think of and how they relate to the education system and what other educational, learning activities are happening which the mainstream system is unable to comprehend and synergize with. The project's focus was on learning and therefore reaching out to the people was important. IDSP being a human resource development institution engaged young community workers from the field and the whole project was build around them. They initially went through a series of intensive trainings on education, learning and alternatives to education. They collected and developed district educational profiles and

Program Rationale
Gender as a discourse has been in development debate for last many decades. IDSP was aware of the fact and launched several initiatives to first understand the various theoretical perspectives of the gender discourse. The various discourses on gender in development, women in development, feminism, Islamic perspectives of gender were come into discussion. The gender discourse was

launched in order to enable IDSP as a gender organization and the focus has been on understanding the role of family, community and self, the pertinent questions of religion, culture and development on gender dynamics.

The Team and The Leadership


The project was led by the Principle Coordinator Mr. Raziq Fahim supported in project management by Mr. Ali Naqvi and the rest of the faculty. The district focal points engaged in the discourse were Ms. Afshan Nasreen, Ms. Noreen Bano, Mr. Barkat Shah, Ms. Zainab Khan, Ms. Mussarrat Nazeer and Mr. Hussain Ali Sina.

District Governments families of the women learners, communities Balochistan, the quality of governance at the grassroots levels emerged after the newly laid devolution system, lack of comprehension of women role in democratic processes, the false concepts of cultural, tribal and religious manifestation of role of women. The intervention is critical since it sheds light on possibilities of bringing long term change, explores the possibilities of women empowerment towards the devolved system. It is important for the development partners to view gender and development in the new scenarios both national and international and how to respond to the needs of communities keeping in mind the local, national and international bearings of these development interventions. The project adopted the approach of developing women catalysts by using three pronged approach a) developing the capacity of host institution i.e. Institute for Development Studies and Practices IDSP-Pakistan, developing women mentors for community developing, discussing the various basic questions around women ranging from religious domain, cultural pathologies, institutional analysis toward self and family development, community engagement, and thirdly understanding and

The project addresses development of young women community catalysts in the most deprived province of Pakistan, Balochistan to bring fundamental changes in the attitudes of and towards women, improving family relationships, engaging communities in wholesome development and contribution in local governance through gender perspectives. Two key historic developments have occurred in Pakistan's recent history, one the devolution of power and the other 33% women seats in the local governance bodies. Both of these opportunities can only be attained if meticulously thought women empowerment processes are entailed and sufficient cadre of young women leadership is available especially in case of Balochistan, the least developed, tribally complex, ethnically diverse with varied geographically and geopolitically at the forefront of global phenomenon's bordering Iran ad Afghanistan for last many decades. The project intends to develop a process of women empowerment to effectively and efficiently work towards people centered development. It addresses core issues paucity of quality women community workers in

contributing in improving the local governance structures. The first cohort of the project was the people in host institution i.e. IDSP-Pakistan, the second cohort three community workers of North West Frontier Province to understand and learn institutional development processes for setting up such institution in NWFP. The third cohort of twenty young women community workers (interns) in a long discourse of one year based on theory and practice to become mentors, the fourth cohort of over hundred young interns placed in their districts guided and facilitated by the twenty mentors. The project has contributed in many ways, it contributed in developing a very large cadre of professional women in the province which was not present before, it contributed in engaging families in the development processes, The role of young women as leader of social change is recognized, their mobility is increased and therefore the mobility of the girls of the same age in the communities is increasing. Balochistan has for the very first time experienced a mobilization campaigns solely managed by the local community girls with out any direct perceivable in kind benefit for the communities. Local government is sensitized on gender issues and in certain cases; the local governments on issues related to gender have taken concrete measures.

Infromation and Learning Center Khuzdar


Program Rationale
IDSP's since its inception has been critically looking at the developments in community informatics. The world was shrinking and people were faced wit challenges to launch a discourse. The IDSP ILC is not merely a technology driven training place. It is a place, where young people think, reflect and discuss matters concerning to their self, community and the globe. It is a space made available for rich discussions and vibrant discourse at the district level. IDSP is planning to initiate the similar process in Pishin and other districts of Pakistan as well.

The Team and the Leadership


The project was conceived by Safdar Hussain and he led the whole process. He was supported by a group of learners from Khuzdar namely Mr. Asif Lehri, Ms. Rubina Zehri and Ms. Farkhanda Aslam. Mr. Barkat Shah Kakar with the team of Ms Fehmida Panezai and Mr. Khalil Kakar are establishing ILC in Pishin district on the same patterns. The project of Khuzdar was supported by Mr. Lal Jan and the faculty members of the IDSP team at various junctures.

IDSP Information and Learning Center Khuzdar is IDSP effort to develop grassroots institutions through the young community works trained though IDSP courses. The center which has successfully completed its two years of inception has thus far established itself in the Khuzdar region as one of the leading organizations. The paucity of learning organizations generally in Pakistan and particularly in Balochistan has been a grave issue. The focus on project based human resource development and absence of a space where young people can openly share, reflect and experiment led to the creation of this space. The space is managed by the women of Khuzdar; itself an achievement in the tribal and remote part of Balochistan and then developing a variety of programs that suits the needs of the people of Khuzdar is commendable. The Center has three programs to engage the learners a) a resource center equipped with books and magazine for all walks of life b) IT training for the young emerging people who have an interest in the Information Technology and c) a place for conducting seminars, debates on contemporary issues. The center has provided IT training to over 400, over 100 are girls, the center has been engaged in conducting dialogues on education and learning, training own community workers in community development, gender and governance and designing and implementing a program of adolescents education on rights and responsibilities.

Tawana Pakistan
Program Rationale The issue of food security is one of the pertinent issues of this part of the world. The food programs earlier developed and launched had one fundamental factor and that was the food was brought from outside Pakistan and was distributed among the students or parents. The Tawana Project's approach which IDSP endorsed was ensuring that the fresh locally available food is prepared/ cooked and fed at the point. The whole process was led by a women community leader the Community Organizer and the leadership role of community mobilizer was also given to the female field worker, perhaps for the first time in Pakistan. It engaged lots of young people from the communities especially women and helped to develop large cadre of community workers. The issues of women health especially stunting and wasting were taken care of. The Team and the Leadership Tawana was initially placed at the External Relations Program, managed by Mr. Lal Jan and Mr. Ali Naqvi. Ms. Farzana Yasmin a fresh commerce graduate was part of the team. Methodologically the leadership of the whole project was given to Ms. Yasmin. She took the responsibility of the project and then never looked back. She managed the project and represented IDSP at all the national forums. She developed a team wit the support of Mr. Ahmed Jan in all the project districts. The team selection, hiring and training was done in most professional manner without compromising and bearing the outside pressures. The faculty of IDSP as in constant support to the project team and provided support when and where required.

The adolescents are a special age group with distinctive age needs and requirements. IDSP's interest has always been with the large group (over 70%) who are not part of the mainstream education system. The ideas matured through a research study which resulted in a concept of learning belt. The idea of learning belt has been to engage with communities where too much development input has been given vis--vis to an area where little or not development input in education is given. This concept was presented in a conference in India hosted by UNESCO. UNESCO was planning to launch a program on adolescent as a regional study for policy impacts on this age group. IDSP was selected as Pakistani partner in the discourse.

reaking Women Poverty Cycle: Empowering Adolescent Girls to become Agents of Social Transformation project is conceptualized and undertaken UNESCO under crosscutting theme. Institute for Development Studies and Practices IDSP-Pakistan joined the network of sub-regional partners in September 2003. IDSP modify its concept of creating learning organization aiming to initiate diverse innovative actions, which will multiply options of learning and education for divers groups of learners and particularly for the adolescents. This initiative is thus contextually conceptualized with the rationale of creating an alternative methodology for basic education for adolescents. The action was primarily focused to address the issues of poverty through broad based capacity development activities. The situation of women in Balochistan is extremely difficult and deprived it was therefore decided to

take Pakistan as a test case of a very difficult situation, where the objective of the project would be make a break through in women's /girl's empowerment in Balochistan.

he project target is to benefit adolescent girls of poor rural areas empowering them through building capacities and addressing their poverty conditions. Both the areas were selected on the criteria of poverty and women educational situation. It is important to explain here that the nature of the process project is relatively complex and diverse. It was not initiated on already formed basis rather it considered as an evolving and gradually enhancing initiative.

Human Rights Education Program


Program Rationale
Development discourse has always been talking about the issues of human rights. The civil society organizations have been advocating the UN charter of Human Rights. The discourse at IDSP has been around the issues of rights and justice. The discourse was focusing primarily on justice with a broad framework engaging the discussions of rights and responsibilities to foster the human development. The primary assumption has been that before endorsing and engaging in a discourse on rights, ground realities and traditions have to be understood. The project was conceived in Khuzdar inline with the concepts of reflective Learning Centers.

The Team and The Leadership


The project was initially led by Mr. Ali Naqvi but slowly the leadership was given to the women in Khuzdar led by Ms. Rubina Zehri and Ms. Farkhanda Aslam and a team of Learning Facilitators.

IDSP-PAKISTAN ANNUAL REPORT 2005

DSP-Pakistan started a generative process of empowering adolescent's women I two localities of Quetta. The project was an innovation of UNESCO to explore possibilities of engaging young adolescent's girls for futuristic changes. The project's focus has been of starting an innovative integrated process of adolescent's empowerment in many ways including core conceptual competencies comprising of understanding self, health and hygiene, everyday science coupled with basic skills to improve the likelihood of having a sustainable, honorable livelihood. During the similar time IDSP launched an extensive program Human Resource Development for Gender and Development Mainstreaming. This program engaged over 100 girls from six districts of Balochistan namely Khuzdar, Lasbela, Killa Saifullah, Sibi, Quetta and Pishin. IDSP during the same period interacted with the Global Human Rights and shared the concept of extension of the Reflective Learning Center's program. A proposal was submitted and it was agreed that IDSP instead of extending the current program in the current project areas will start a Human Rights Program in a new district. IDSP selected Khuzdar for the intervention. The reason for selecting Khuzdar is multifold; a) IDSP has its Information and Learning Center, which catering the needs of Human Resource Development, it has right infrastructure to implement such programs b) the learners all young women of Mainstreaming Gender and Development are running the Information and Learning Center c) IDSP has the access to grassroots communities and has the knowledge of the area. The project being a learning project has several interesting learning throughout the project period, listed below: Lack of time for registration of the centers because it takes to much time but this was integrated in the basic literacy phase due to which it is very difficult for us to provide basic literacy tool in a very short period Government/Public sector will provide support if they understand the work and if they find it contributive to their activities Adoption of those tools which the learners required they

will take interest in the work and also generate support for you If the perspective is clear and the direction is non confronting to the traditional communities, support is generally available The key features of the project are: The program designing, implementation, management and monitoring is led by women, engaging families especially mothers in the whole process. This is a successful experiment since the leadership of women in such sensitive programs in highly tribal, ethnically diverse, religiously extremist conditions. The teachers from formal schools are participating in the course to learn and understand the teaching methodologies and techniques for better education delivery and understanding the various dimensions of the human rights. Third and the most important indicator is building the human rights approach from self, family, community, tribe, religion, constitution of Pakistan and the UN Human Rights declaration. It is important to note that the whole process of understanding the rights comes from various sources mentioned above. The process is more of appreciative inquiry then that of engaging with people with dismal some what realizing them that they are disempowered and they need to fight for their rights. This approach has help them appreciating what they have, and how this condition of having can further expand to transform the specific condition. Based on these a whole module of Human Rights Education is in process to consolidate the process and make it widely available.

Pakistan Participatory Poverty Assessment, Small Prjoects


Program Rationale
The issue of poor and that of poverty is the greatest debate within the development circles around the world. Are people poor because they are bound to be poor by the divine, or they are born in certain class, area! If not what are underpinnings that led to poverty and why poverty eradiation is the most loved topic for the rich and powerful. The Pakistan Poverty Assessment looks at the poverty from the perspectives of the poor and that was why IDSP engaged in the discourse. The small projects were simply a manifestation of how people can organize themselves and developed their own models of service efficiency.

Institute for Development Studies and Practices (IDSP_Pakistan) Felt deep concern regarding this natural disaster. A team of IDSP staff including Director Quratulain Bakhteari, immediate visits to the space for helping the victim. She shared the situation of devastated communities with various good hearted people all over the world. They showed a warm response regarding helping out the victims with her husband Dr. Tayyab Mahmood, her son Dr. Ahsan Mahmood and people from Karachi, Islamabad and Abbottabad. IDSP's response to the 8th October 2005 South Asian Earthquake started with the collection of funds for the sending the relief goods to the sufferers at the institute and with its Director's visit to the affected areas. Dr. Bakhteari visited the hospitals and gathered support of doctors from USA and UK to the people in Abbottabad. Later she visited the mountain areas in Mansehra district and contextual support was given to the Battal valley inhabitants. She presented a concept paper on the request of Chairman Capital Development Authority Islamabad for community development in H-11 Camp. Mrs. Siddiqa was the support behind the activation of the activities in H-11 Camp, financially supported by Fund for Global Human Rights and IDSP. Ms Zara Shahid Hussain was major support in mobilizing the donations and Networking. The space and contract created by Dr. Bakhteari led to creation of relief projects for IDSP in H-11 Camp, Battal and UNHCR Project.

in Battal one of the widespread Tehsil of District Mansehra. Battal is situated in the mountainous area of Satian Galli. In the Mountainous ups and downs of Satian Galli there lives 0.75 Million people with their self sustained livelihood, culture and history. For working this community 20 action researchers from two of IDSP development studies courses visited the Union council. These are the young people from various areas of the country with their quest of self empowerment through community and family development. They met with all the families in the Union council, which comprised of 10 Mohlas. The team of researchers remains for one week in union council and made thorough interaction with local community. They gathered basic profile of the families consisting of its population, culture and livelihood etc. The community in the union council live for six generation at this place. They have developed a self-sustaining livelihood and a mechanism of interdependency. The oral history shared by the local people describes that they were the originally Nomads who gradually settled on the mountain. In the Satian Galli, there are more than one thousand settlements in which the people live with their own created systems and cultures. They have created a selfsustaining and need based culture, which responds to their survival in the toughest cold climate. People of Hillkot are Gujar by cost. They speak Gujree and live in the form of the dispersed settlements. Groups of the young action researchers from IDSP's courses in Khuzdar and Pishin have collected quantitative data for developing a base line profile of the community. Following are the inferences of the data collected from the families.

Over 100 houses have now got shelter and food for the winter season and on rest of the houses the construction work led by the local community in on.

NGOs and the community in reducing issues in camps IDSP followed the process to enable human resource for Camp Management this concept emerged with the mutual understanding of IDSP and CDA. Mrs. Siddiqa Malik facilitated the process of this joint venture as volunteer and developed coordination and networking between IDSP and CDA. Her conceptual and technical in puts and efforts create the possibility of work with effected people. The main idea of the concept was to make communities enable and empowered to detail their issues by them self rather then depending on any external sources. According to the core theme of empowering communities IDSP initiated a process of learner's selection in which a large number of young men and women contacted IDSP. Miss Zakra Ali and Mr. Yar Mohammad from IDSP selected potential, and wiling learners from the camp after three days long process. In the process of learners selection 32 young men and women engaged as learners and IDSP faculty build their conceptual capacity through different sessions e.g. role of learners/activists, camp management, community mobilization, PRA tools and techniques, financial management and administrative skills etc. These learners selected from the effected communities of Muzzaffarad Abad, Bagh and Mansehra and they are settled at H-1 with

The H-11 Camp in Islamabad was established for the relief of the earthquake affected families. The Camp has nearly 10,000 people living managed though several Non Governmental Organizations Support. Living in camp for a displaced community is not only difficult but a certain level of depression encompasses the whole community. IDSP's goal to the work in the Camp has been To empower communities/individual to come up with the solutions of their issues with minimum dependency on external sources. The objectives of the program are: Developing Human resources to understand their role in camp management Empowering/engaging community in dealing their own

their families. The strategy of engaging the effected youth especially in camp management was a concourse effort and idea of IDSP as we it was planed to engage this young human resource to work on community development and camp management at their respective effected areas mentioned as above. The group of 20 learners moved for practical work after getting trainings. At H-11 a group of 15 young learners and volunteers' women, men both are engaged in the process of camp management activities. The proposed strategy is to engage other organizations and contribute in camp management with the collaboration of CDA. In present IDSP established four community centers with the direct support of CDA at A, B, D and E. Earth Quake Relief Mansehra, Muzzafarabad and Baghspontaneous Camps IDSP's activities were spread using the technology around Pakistan. The SMS messages created a lot of support and in one of the gatherings of people the concepts and IDSP's intervention were appreciated. UNHCR in one of these

meeting asked QAB Director IDSP to support them in community organization and provision of support in the spontaneous camps (camps that are established by the people and where focused support from government or non government agencies is not viable). With extra ordinary leadership from Ali Naqvi, Muhammad Ali, Raziq Fahim and Ms Noreen IDSP since has been working on developing human resource in the H-11 Camp engaged with UNHCR to work with these spontaneous camps. IDSP organized three teams for Mansehra, Muzzafarabad and Bagh, engaged the technicians from the local communities and started working with the spontaneous camp people to organize them, bring quality services such as sanitation, clean water, and electricity and help people to combat the chilling winter. IDSP has its offices in all the districts and a national preserves this mainstreaming IDSP. Seminars and lectures are given to peoples of USA and raised 8000 dollars.

Institutional Development
Strategic Planing
Institute for Development Studies and Practices, IDSPPakistan has completed its seven years of its existence, it is a national institute with national campus in Quetta. The young people of Pakistan created this institution in 1999, after testing the concept in 1998. The concept was developed on the basis of various experiences and practices that took place over the period of more then 25 years of development for the communities. The history of IDSP shows the process of human resources development, the need of love and care then the money or power. In IDSP's growth, development and its sustainability only one factor is fundamental and that is love and care for each other as human being first and then comes the work factor. The basic principle of respect, giving spaces, creating new ones according to the need and potential of the people related to IDSP is a basic principle in its learning processes. It is due to this one principle of love, care, trust, and dedication to the ordinary young people that the people within IDSP are growing and developing as well as people outside IDSP is gaining more self empowerment then before. The young leaders of IDSP have understood one fundamental lesson and that is trust all people and invest in people by creating alternate learning spaces. Today IDSP raises its own resources for its core programs, two of its senior members are editors of development journals, while one second level faculty member is bringing out a research journal. The young faculty members are policy advisors to government, funding agencies, training programs. Each one of IDSP member has developed at least 20 young people of Pakistan. Who in turn organizes more meaningful spaces for the young people in their own communities! IDSP has now three kinds of graduates, one that completed six years of intensive education and training and is now IDSP's managers of learning's. The second tier is their own interns who are now teaching and doing projects, they have completed four years of intense education and training. The third level consists of its course learners, interns, project based learners. All its learners will reach the same level as its senior ones. Pakistan needs a large number of such people who are willing to devote part of their life in making paths for others to walk on and then create their own. If we do not do this we will not be the kind of people that Allah wants us to be. That people needs to be understood from their actions and perceptions and not by their symbolic way of life and believe. We need love, care, and new meaningful learning spaces, less competition more cooperation, less criticism more forward looking critique less discouragement more encouragement with hope and enlightenment. We have now more then 200 learners from long term theory practice based courses, over thirty people remained or are in IDSP as development thinkers and practitioners. Numerous sessions on myriad topics have given people a fresh breath of air in our public debates and dialogues. Our researches have been extremely useful for policy development. IDSP's pilot testing course was the initiation of a generative process of learning in various dimensions of development. Its core has been working with the community development workers or the young people aspiring to become development activities. The pilot testing course was evaluated by a third party and feasibility was developed. The 1999 feasibility defined five clear areas programmatic thrusts for IDSP.Certificate and Diploma courses in Community Development Synthesizing and applying research Initiating process projects Initiating Public Debate and Dialogue Providing transformatory advisory services The three years feasibility provided the institute to develop its basis learn by practicing and develop internal systems. During this period the team was built and intellectually and professionally nurtured through one year of rigorous capacity building. For the first time in the history of Balochistan an indigenous group of young intellectuals and

INSTITUTE FOR DEVELOPMENT STUDIES & PRACTICES

PAGE-23

IDSP-PAKISTAN ANNUAL REPORT 2005

activists initiated a high-level theoretical and research program with outside technical help limited to focus facilitations. To fulfill the growth in the right direction and to create the open learning environment the conventional management structures were not adopted at the beginning rather opportunities were sought for developing a management structure that suits the requirements of the learning organization. Therefore in many ways just as the pilot testing course the first three years have been of powerful generative learning. In May 2001 an evaluation was launched for setting the management structure. This rigorous exercise that went on till the end of November 2001 provided the following management structure for the organization. Four program teams were developed i.e. the Academic team, Learner and Community Development team, Internal Development and Core Support team and the External Program team. IDSP's inception as an organization was a step in recognizing the need of conceptually clear, technically sound and emotionally stable human resource development. IDSP's core has been focusing the individuals who would act as catalysts in the development arena and will work towards diversification of the development work and juxtaposing it people centered notions of culture, spirituality thus sparking a funnel of social transformation. IDSP's recognition as a learning institute comes in a variety of flavors. The first is developing a national academic institution in Balochistan which is generally not familiar with its educational background within Pakistan. The second was the trust on local young human resource to lead its intellectual portfolio. The third was to continuously invest on people with little on no formal educational backgrounds. Finally developing understanding on unique frameworks in most cases alien to development such as culture, religion and civilization and starting processes of building self esteem around these themes. IDSP's role within the development sector has been creating alternative paths of development, engaging communities and young community workers in an

intellectual discourse that leads to a long term process of self empowerment and community homogenization and linking the local with the global. IDSP has been successful despite numerous external threats and internal systemic weaknesses in bringing about fundamental changes in the way development is looked upon. The major accomplishments has been viewing the whole gender framework from a variety of perspectives and critiquing the role of schooling, the mainstream media and the manufacturing of consent.

IDSP in last six years has successfully infused itself with communities and young community workers as a learning space to reflect and learn from. It has consolidated itself as a national learning institution having its learners across the country. It has contributed in various dimensions to develop new ad innovative frameworks of engaging people and diversifying development portfolios. It has given a human approach to various issues and challenges which were considered dogmatic within the development. It questioned the rational of development, education and modernity and traced back the historical events that led to these frameworks and worked upon dealing with the issues of repressed knowledge, religion and tradition and role of women in traditional societies besides focusing on learning as a lifelong process beyond frameworks and walls. When IDSP was initiated the challenge was simple to engage a young group of community workers and empower them to become managers of development. It was apparent in the very initial year that this approach will not affect the power brokers and may contribute in the ways and approaches that marginalize people. The fundamental conceptual shift in 1999 led IDSP to initial isolation from the development scene but later proved highly fruitful since many new ideas, approaches; methodologies of IDSP started inspiring the mainstreaming development. The earlier theoretical realties of globalization, modernity, mainstream media and schooling are now realities of the Pakistani society. The world has changed to a great deal, the oppression and PAGE-24

subjugation is not only can read but heard and seen on daily basis. It is perhaps time to devise processes that enable more cohesive engagements at various levels and becoming a regional partner in combating several challenges Pakistan is faced with. Besides that IDSP for its next five years is looking upon several venues; one of them is consolidating what has been developed, experienced and thus building upon. The other is to find meaningful ways of diversifying its portfolio to address many new challenges emerged in last few years especially after the 9/11 incident and its aftermath. IDSP is looking towards consolidation of its academic portfolio in a systemic and meaningful way that can contribute towards society's emerging needs and requirements. On the other hand, based on its experience of an open learning space, it is fine tuning its systems and operations. Both the tasks are complex and needs through revisions. The programmatic portfolio is much more still led by the intellectual discourse of Academic Program but further diversified by the inculcation of learners and community partnership, justice peace governance, education policy and advocacy, research. Variety of approaches is envisaged including developing alternative media, variety of learning discourses. IDSP is looking at engaging with regional and global partners to enhance its role and have strategic partnerships for fostering a culture of peace, tolerance, mutual harmony and justice. The Strategic Plan is developed with the support of Mr. Irfan Mufti, who supported in development of the strategic plan, logical framework analysis and work breakdown structure. Mr. Irshad Ahmed Mughal supported in Academic evaluation and proposing the Academic Framework for the institute while Mr. Zafarullah Khan is providing the legal options and strategies for the institute in next five year to come. CIDA supported the strategic planning exercise. The external vision of IDSP is: Politically socially and culturally aware individuals that will create interdependent, self reliant societies that guarantee and acculturate dignified living for all Internally IDSP views itself as 'a regional learning institution recognized and known for its innovative learning mechanism for regeneration of repressed knowledge values and interdependent practices'. The Mission of IDSP is To nurture and develop individuals and communities that will PAGE-25

change the power structures by demystifying processes of Education and development and generate value based partnerships and practices at all levels IDSP's goal over the next five years is to demystify the dominant practices of education, development & modernity to create dynamics & diverse process of development through courses, publication, media, networking, research & Policy advocacy. The focus is on governance and democracy, peace and security, and sustainable livelihood in support of human dignity and rights. The programmatic goals for IDSP in 2006-2010 are: To nurture community catalysts that can contribute in transforming local & Global issues, relationship, process mechanisms, through academic courses , researches and process projects To create, develop and learn from diverse dynamic development processes through educational development, modernity and from people's action based courses Create Strengthen and engage with process and mechanisms that can contribute in peace, justice and tolerance Developing an institute that create a kind of people who can evaluate, assess, understand, advocate issues of social justice, peace and development To initiate, implement and promote diverse processes of action and reflection based on learning and with a view to develop HR to continuously look in to the various approaches of education and development based on theory and practices Develop community information and learning spaces for continues policy dialogues for pro-people policies and action based research For the next five years IDSP will incorporate and work on seven major themes, which will cut across all its programmatic and organizational activities and will guide all its academic, education courses, programs, research, advocacy and networking interventions. The cross cutting themes are Justice and peace, personal growth and transformation, gender empowerment, political economy of poverty and development, culture, spirituality and social reconstruction and institutional basis of inequality.
