  1. Community Information System (CIS)Developed by IRSP-UNCEF

  2. Community Information System • Started September 2001 • Cautious start – 5 UCs as a model, heavy time investment • On planning • Few select indicators • Limited resources • Scaled up to total 20 UCs 2002 • Still may have short comings • Requires technical inputs and assistance of stakeholders

  3. VISION Community activists collect and manage basic information for local development on a sustainable basis. Aware community makes informed decisions in identifying action at local level. Simultaneously, information is passed upwards to UC & district levels for planning on available data.

  4. Information Flow Community to District level Information is collected at two levels: a. Household level b.Village level

  5. HH LEVEL Info. VILLAGE Info. Information about village: infrastructure, health, irrigation, sanitation, land and other facilities HH HH House-holds (HH) HH VILLAGELEVEL Through Village M&E Committee by Activists Village Info Display Boards Through Councilors Village and UC Profiles UCLEVEL Line Depts., NGOs, etc. Consolidation at IRSP and DCIC level Line Agencies Donors DISTT.LEVEL Distt. Admin. I/NGOs

  6. Data items Households level information • General • Total number of HH • Total number of residents by gender • Ownership status of houses • Education • List of OOSC by name, parentage, age, and Reasons for non-attendance • Education level of residents by gender • Distance of HH to nearest Primary Schools

  7. Health & Nutrition • Breast feeding patterns • Children and infant deaths • Maternal deaths • Disease patterns in children and adults • Use of iodized salt • Average Distance from HH to nearest BHU

  8. Sanitation & Water • Latrine availability and type • Access of to water (piped) • HH connected to main drain • Other areas • Birth registration • Avalability of HH facilities (Radio, TV, Phone, etc)

  10. Data of 5 UCs Click icon for Tabular Reports

  11. Population Trend In the coming generation women ratio would be slightly higher than men. • Presently, out of 49 only 6 villages have ≥50%adultswomen population. However, among Children(0-5 yrs), 19 villages have ≥50%girls • Only 2 villages have <50%adultsmen population. Whereas among children (0-5 yrs), 32 villages have <50%boys

  12. Birth Reg. of girl child • For every girl there are twoboysregistered within first week • It shows that majority of the un-registered 89% newborns are girls

  13. Women in Education • Out of every fourPrimary level educated persons, only oneis women (ratio 3:1) • Out of every fiveMiddle passed persons, only one is women (ratio 4:1) • Out of every tenHigh School qualified educated persons, onlyone is women (ratio 9:1)

  14. Women in Education (cont.) • In 10 villages, women comprise ≤ 10% of those who have attained Primarylevel education. • In 28 villages, women comprise ≤10% of those who have attained Middlelevel education. • 31 villages have just ≤7% women asHigh school graduates.

  15. Education • Only halfof the boys and girls, who reach High School, get the opportunity tocomplete a college degree • Focus on technical education is extremely poor. Out of 43,458 women only 17(.03%) have got any kind of technical education. For men this ratio is 0.28, which means out of about 400 men there is just one who has acquired any kind of technical education.

  16. Out of School Children • A total of 2,444 children (877 boys & 1567 girls) areout of schoolin 49 villages • Poverty is indicated to keep7 out of 10 OOS Boys and 6 out of 10 OOS Girlsfrom attending school • In every fourth household there isone OOS Child

  17. Health Status • Out of every 12 newborns, 1dies during the same year • 4 out of 6 households do not use Iodised salt -- Half due tounawareness. More than one quarter due to unavailabilityandhalf-a-quarterdue toits relatively high cost

  18. Helps in sensitisation. Disease pattern in Children 1-5 yrs. Question is Why? When Abakhel has almost same population;twice the no. of Primary, 3 times of Middle, & 4 times of college passed; half OOSC, less distance to BHU, more water at home, twice the number of latrines, three times Pacca houses?

  19. Breast feeding patterns • Majority(50%) of women feed their babies up to 2 yrs. • 63% in Babozai and 57% in Qasimi breast-feed their children up to 2 yrs • The most womennot breast-feeding (24%) and the least women breast-feeding up to 2-yrs(42%) are in Shamozai

  20. Population Growth rate Birth rates in different villages can also be calculated. • For instance, in Shamozai UC, there were 51 birthsin103 households in Ghundo, where as in Pirano Banda, there were just 12 birthsin78 households. • This information can help indicate UCs where population growth is the fastest.

  21. HH Latrine Types 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Babozai Rustam Shamozai Bazar Qasimi 98% 8% 59% 63% 57% Pour Flush 0% 3% 0% 0% 12% Septic Tank 0% 5% 0% 0% 8% VIP 2% 85% 41% 38% 23% Pit Latrine Water and sanitation HH Latrine coverage is 29%.(Babozai = 93%, Shamozai = 29%, Bazar = 12%, Qasimi= 46%, Rustam = 55%).

  22. Registration at birth For every onegirl there are twoboysregistered within first week.It shows majority of un-registered 89% babies are girls.

  23. Socio-economic status of HH • One out of every two persons lives in Kacha house. One out of every three persons lives in Mixed Kachaand Pacca house and only one out of six can afford to live in Pacca house • Throughout the area, maximum number of rooms per house isthree and fourfamily members share a room • In every 11 householdsonly one has a telephone installed at home. In UC Bazar and Shamozai, there is one phone per 17 HH • Every five HHs have one TVandone Radio.

  24. Poverty Ranking • HH Construction (poorest= >70% Kacha; Poor = 50 - 70% Kacha, Well off < 50% Kacha) • No. of rooms (1 room = poorest, 2 rooms = poor, > 2 rooms = well off) • No of persons per room(> 5 = poorest; 3-5 = poor, 1-2 = well off.) • Electricity (> 70% = well off; 50–17%= poor; < 50% = poorest) • Employment pattern (Poorest = more than 10% un-employed; Poor = 5 to 10% un-employed; Well off = less than 5% un-employed) • Free accommodation (Poorest = more than 40% HH having free accommodation, Poor = 10 to 40%, Well off = less than 10%)

  25. Improvements required in CIS • Evolutionary process so far, has room for refinement (data items/definitions/data sharing with users/tailor made for use. • Staff/activists capacity building required. • Institutionalization would require time till communities start realizing benefits of CIS • It’s a behavioral change process, dependent on the fruit of invested energy/time/effort. • Some villages need time for mobilisation as they look for direct benefits • Linkages with donors/partners for targeted investment • Model test in Urban area would be a challenge

  26. Strengths of CIS • Unique model in Pakistan-based on triple A process • Disaggregated data at sub-district level • In line with theory of development • Support to devolution process/Distt. UC role • Systematic capacity bldg. of Community Reps. • Acts as a leverage – supporting other sectors (health, education,…) • Shows impact of programmatic intervention and indicate where inputs are needed

  27. CIS Future • District government interest -- EDOs offering full assistance • Resolution by District Assembly • NCHD expressed keen interest and support • NADRA offering linkages with database/sharing of data • For UNICEF it points to specific interventions, which would help it design targeted and integrated programmes.
