PROJECT SUMMARY (200 words) In your own words please describe your project and its context. Include direct quotations from beneficiaries that illustrate how your intervention improves their lives. Please attach an illustrative photograph.

2.1

San Juan de Lurigancho - SJL – This project has created a demand amongst communities and authorities for participating in and with Civil Society organisations around this issue. Luzmila de la Cruz President of the committee for the Rights of Women states that “It has been a long process of monitoring and mapping local services but it has now led to the creation of a ‘Power Map’, which is a directory of all State and Non State actors in the area. This network; alongside the advocacy network Prodem have achieved a range of results, such as advocating for the District Plan Against Gender Based Violence, and pushing for the implementation of this plan. They have also achieved results on a social level as they are the first CBOs to give support and legal advice to victims of violence . San Martin: This project aims to support Civil Society participation in the fight against GBV and violence against children through enabling the community to work together and with the Local Authorities to combat the issue. A key component has been the creation of a network of community leaders of both sexes to encourage vigilence for signs of abuse, sensitisation of the community , the giving of advice to victims and reporting of incidences of violence to relevant bodies such as local police. This body has been officially recognised by local government bodies and has been key in advocating for more local services for victims of violence such as the proposed refuges. Apurimac: In this location the focus has been on building the capacity of local leaders (of both sexes).Social leadership training focuses on mobilising and guiding the communities in their efforts. Political leadership training focuses on building community understanding of how they can engage in the political process themselves. Marina one of the women who participated in the political training and is now Director of Community Leaders in Totorabamba says this. ‘Before this I had never thought of participating in a women’s organisation. A training centre for female leaders was set up in our community centre; they invited me to participate in an internship. Through this programme I was encouraged to share what I know in local assemblies and on the radio in this way we have been able help local authorities to understand the issues better. ”The organisations formed out of this process have now attained official recognition and through this have gained the respect of many men in the community

RELEVANCE Does your CSCF project remain relevant in the context where you are working? Justify in a short paragraph below.

2.2

This project is relevant for the following reasons: 1) 4 in every 10 Peruvian women have been attacked by their partners, more than a third of

children and adolescents have been mistreated. Another key thing is that this only represents the cases reported to the authorities.

2) Neither society nor the State are aware of the personal, familial and national costs of gender based violence and violence against children. State services are not efficient in the poorest and most remote areas of the country.

3) The exclusion faced by indigenous groups, particularly those faced in the poor outskirts of the big cities. Continuing discrimination of indigenous groups both urban and remote, remain a key cause of poverty and a lack of opportunity to exercise their rights.

4) The state has also has defined the problem of gender based violence as a public health issue, but it is also a social and cultural issue, which the project is seeking to address.

2.3 KEY RESULTS AND EFFECTIVENESS

Please provide a summary of your three most significant results achieved over the last year. This is an opportunity to tell the story of the project’s success this year. Consider the most important changes the project has brought about; how many citizens benefited (men/women; girls/boys); who they are and how they benefited.


1. San Juan de Lurigancho: In the third year of this action the four advice centres have been consolidated. These centres have provided the sole community spaces for women who are victims of gender based violence to seek medical attention, guidance, support and referral. Currently there are 15 promoters (male and female) who link up with inter-institutional networks of Civil Society Organisations (CSO), they organise and participate in social and political advocacy actions and sensitisation. They are also linked in the same manner with key inter sectoral state bodies. An important achievement was attained through coordination with other local CSOs and local networks; they have obtained agreement for the establishment of another Emergency Women’s Centre in the project area. 2. At the same time 165 children (80 boys and 85 girls), after a sustained campaign, have succeeded in putting the issue of violence against women and children on the public agenda of the local government in the district of Uripa and have obtained promises from the authorities. 3.Another key achievement is the creation of the advice guide for the formulation of public spending projects relating to violence against women. This is a tool that the National System for Public Investment (NSPI) did not have. With the support of technical experts and civil servants in both local and regional government this project has succeeded in creating this essential tool. Currently the guide is going through the ratification process in five regions after which it will be presented to MIMP and the Ministry for Development and Social inclusion (MIDIS) so that in alliance with these bodies they can lobby the Ministry for the Economy and Finances (MEF) for their perusal and approval. Once this has been agreed it will form an official document which will be utilised by local authorities and regional government. This will mean that not only will the budgetary allocation increase; it will also be invested appropriately.

2.4 TIMESCALE AND BUDGETING Please read the statements below and tick 1 or more boxes as appropriate.

a. This project is on-track against its budget, deliverables and original time-scale b. This project is not on track against its budget, deliverables and original time-scale c. This project is expected to be back on track in the next reporting period d. This project is not expected to be back on track in the next reporting period

As agreed with Triple Line after year 2 reporting improvements were made to the budget to off-set difficulties being experienced by staff through the erosion of the value of their salaries. This has been beneficial though adverse excahnge rates have continued. One additional staff member has consequently resigned. Staff will remain until completion of the project. Remarkable progress continues to be made despite operating with a budget which is being continuously squeezed by adverse excahnge rates. Complementary projects being underatken by Paz y Esperanza have been completed so that opportunities for sharing resource has not been available to the same extent CHANGES TO PROJECT STATUS In the last reporting period has the project has made any changes?

SECTION 3: VALUE FOR MONEY (Max 1.5 pages) For guidance and resources on VfM please see: Value for Money: What it means for NGOs; and Integrating Value for Money into othe Programme Cycle available on this website: http://www.bond.org.uk/pages/value-for-money-resources.html

Equity: Does this project continue to contribute to equity (poverty reduction; empowerment of marginalized groups to participate in decisions that affect them at local and national level?)

Yes No To some extent

3.1

If yes or to some extent, provide a brief example; if no, explain: The project has contributed to the reduction of poverty and the empowerment of women affected by violence and women and children in vulnerable situations through strengthening their leadership. This strengthening has ensured that their actions, in making agreements and negotiation, both at local and regional government level, are not only more active but also more skilled. An example of this is in the ‘Participative Budget’ process, where they identified their needs and prioritised actions which reduce violence against women and children. The results are favourable: • The incorporation of a plan for dealing with the issue of violence against women and children in the Approved Local/Regional Development Plans, as well as in the statutes of their communities. • Increased presence in the local media, succeeding in increasing the level of sensitisation to the serious nature of the issue of violence against women and children in society and by the authorities. • Improved clarity around their political role, encouraging them to participate in local politics, some of the participants have been chosen for leadership posts in their communities. Effectiveness: Is the project achieving the intended results and will the project be sustainable?


3.2

If yes or to some extent, provide a brief example; if no, explain: The strengthened male and female leaders have promoted social and political action in their communities. At the same time they have strengthened the capacity of civil servants in regional government in the project’s intervention zones. They have achieved a dialogue between community leaders, CSOs and local authorities, which has led to concrete action, such as the donation of land for the construction of the refuge mentioned previously in Apurimac. Economy: What has the project management done this year to buy and employ inputs at a value-for-money price?

3.3

Provide examples in bullet points: We have ensured this in the following manner: • Obtaining three quotes for each required item. • Evaluating the quality and safety of the product. • Synergising with other NGOs and making alliances with state institutions to reduce costs. • Use of local institutions, technology, cars, and Paz y Esperanza’s equipment. • Synergising with other Paz y Esperanza projects to optimise results and save on costs.

3.4 Efficiency: How do you ensure resources are used efficiently to maximize results?


Provide examples in bullet points: • The budget requested for each activity or outcome exactly matches the plan. • The programme of activities brings together different actions that have relation to each other. • The professional skills of our staff mean that we are not required to hire extra specialist staff in different thematic areas. • We are carrying out activities that match the objectives of the Annual Operational Plans of local and regional government and also those of community based organisations. This means that our plans meet a demand which increases their effectiveness. • We combine the results of the project with the priorities of local, regional and national public policy with the aim of ensuring sustainability. In the same manner we are seeking to enshrine the agreements reached in law to ensure that a budget will be allocated to them. Are there multiplier effects from this project?


3.5

If yes or to some extent, explain: We have promoters or advocates who replicate training activities amongst the members of their own Community Based Organisations (CBOs). At the same time sensitised authorities are driving forward local policies for the protection of women and children. Certain state institutions have replicated actions which promote the rights of women and children such as Gender and social inclusion section of the municipal government in Andahuaylas. An emergency centre in Chincheros has copied our scheme for working with female leaders and other NGOs are looking to copy the radio broadcasts featuring community advocates strategy in order to sensitise other communities. Also other female CBOs have been encouraged to participate in public policy work after seeing the success of this project. This has meant that the expected number of beneficiaries has been significantly surpassed and it is likely that as these other projects spread the reach of this work will spread further.

SECTION 4: LESSONS (max 1 page) Please note you do not have to provide lessons under each area. Try to draw lessons that might be useful for other CSCF projects. Try to avoid presenting obvious lessons (e.g. “the participation of women in project activities is key to their empowerment”).

Approaches to Empowerment and Advocacy: a) What lessons have you identified in relation to factors that facilitate the empowerment process? b) What lessons have you identified in dealing with resistance when facilitating the empowerment of marginalized groups?

4.1

a) The audits conducted by the female leaders were conducted with an attitude of respect and making suggestions rather than questioning and confrontation. This has contributed to the agreements made with local authorities. b) Civil servants tended to have a resistant attitude to change, it was noted that many of them perpetrated violence towards the female members of their own families or work places. Equity and gender: What approaches have been successful in tackling gender inequality in relation to empowerment, rights, policy change & service delivery?

4.2

The most effective methods for combatting inequality between the sexes are as follows Empowerment:

• Formation of organisations consisting of women who have been victims of violence • Seeking aliances with NGOs and other CBOs, creating networks and space for various

organisations to work together with participation from the state and other institutions. Rights


• Establishing relationships with NGOs is key for the women in CBOs

• Through their polictical successes the female leaders have managed to sensitise the men in their communities around the advancement of the rights of women.

• Getting the support of the husbands of the women involved in the project has been key as they can then publicly advocate for the role their wife has taken.

Policy Change

• It is key to understand that accompanying local authorities is much more efffective than simply confronting them.

• Offering support to local authorities through various methods of communication and thus demonstrating their political will for change in the living conditions of women and children.

• Action from children through campaigns and use of radio broadcasts aimed directly at local authorities has had an impact on their local communities as well as the authorities. It has led them to take children’s rights more seriously.

Service Provision

• Female leaders are involved in monitoring services and holding authorities to account. Capacity building: In building the capacity of local partners and community groups to negotiate and claim their rights, what approaches have been most successful? Provide an example.

4.3

• Recognition and giving value to local knowledge. • Strengthening and building on that existing knowledge • Using strategies developed at a local level to resolve any problems that arise. • Training and strengthening local actors, promoting their actions and not simply telling

them what to do and doing things for them. • Promoting their organisational capacity and developing a mutual confidence to

strengthen the communal character of these programmes This has been the most successul strategy for achieving long term sustainability As an example, we have community communicators in Apurimac, this group once they had had their capacity strengthened decided to become involved in setting up sattelite programmes thus spreading the benefit felt by the community. Monitoring & Evaluation: What tools and methods have been most useful and practical in measuring and demonstrating evidence of empowerment?

4.4

The empowerment of the beneficiaries has been monitored by a working group through: direct observation and through the process of assessment and accompaniment. . Another strategy has been beneficiary interviews to collate their views about how their skills have developed. Innovation: Describe any lessons which you believe are of direct relevance to other civil society projects

4.5

We took specific examples of violence and gave them coverage through various methods of communication such as the radio broadcasts mentioned above.

What would your project do differently as a result of your learning? 4.6

The Construction of the project:

• If constructing the theme again we would change the nature of the project in order that we could focus on either violence against women or violence against children. Although there are obvious links between the problems it is fairly difficult to find specialists who are equally skilled in both.


• The project areas are not only geographically distant from each other they are also culturally diverse which has meant that the strategy has been adapted for each context which has pushed costs up. We now believe that each would be better served as separate projects.

• We would have liked to add a component working specifically with men in the community; as a huge factor in violence against women is the inequality between men and women and their attitudes towards women.

• In the future we would like to undertake a project which promotes better more peaceful lifestyle choices. We believe the project would be more sustainable this way

Personnel:

• We would have liked to have a longer project to work on the advocacy element. The sensitisation of public servants takes a long time to bed in.

• We would increase the salaries offered on the project to reflect the demanding nature of the roles and ensure retention of staff.

• We would have preferred to have a more consistent log frame from the start of the project.

SECTION 5: PROJECT ACCOUNTABILITY TO STAKEHOLDERS (max 1 page) In 2012 the majority of CSCF Grantholders responded to a survey on Beneficiary Feedback. The questions below aim to deepen understanding of the use of beneficiary feedback mechanisms within the CSCF portfolio.

The majority of CSCF projects collect feedback from beneficiaries. What questions does your project seek to answer in collecting this type of data?

5.1

The project collects feedback from beneficiaries to answer the following questions (list up to 4 examples): a) Are you satisfied with the services provided by the project? b) What areas for improvement are there?

How often do you collect and analyse beneficiary feedback data?

When a complaint is made by beneficiaries Once a year Mid-term Final evaluation

5.2

Other (explain in brief): Every six months

Provide a brief example(s) of how beneficiary feedback has influenced project decisions on implementation.

5.3

It has helped give attention to complicated situations that not only put the project at risk but also put the integrity of the population at risk. For example in San Martin the project caused emotions to run high, however this proved to be a an opportunity. Local authorities and the community sought guidence as to how to set up a centre for local policing to cope with any problems, which has remained in place. After their views are analysed, what feedback if any does the project provide beneficiaries and how?

5.4

From the start of the project a horizontal relationship has been established with the beneficiaries. They are involved throughout the process and we meet with them to incorporate their ideas and suggestions into the project work. Especially whem it relates to the political advocacy component. We also publicly recognise the contributions that the community have made.

• There was an initial stumbling block in SJL in that the mayor of the district was extremely unwilling to talk to the advocates and CBOs as a result the groups have had to go to Lima’s overall municipal authority and they have supported their projects instead. An unexpected result of this is that the mayor in question has been discovered to be involved in corruption and has subsequently been impeached.

Civil servants at local and regional level understand their responsibilities in relation to the protection of women and children and actively work with female leaders. Milestone: 35 from Local Government and 10 from regional. Progress: 51 from Local and 7 from Regional government. (Mixed) Comments: The biggest challenge we have faced is in the attitude of certain sections of local authorities, especially as it appears that certain public servants are themselves perpetrators of domestic violence. However the public accreditation of those authorities who have been willing to assist has encouraged them to take part.

Milestone: 3 cases presented Progress: 3 cases presented including one this year. 2. The number of governors, deputy governors, justices of the peace and leaders of regional round table discussions incorporate the rights of women and children in the judicial system. In SJL there are no comunal justice operatives.As SJL is a district of Lima it does not have a community based justice system as in rural areas, instead it has one for the whole district.. 18 authorities have participated in round table discussions with female leaders. The key to the success of this indicator in Lima has been the fact that a new Penal Code is being implemented at the moment and this project has many synergies with it. Thus it is seen as a positive thing by the judicial system and has gained their support.

Provide a clear description of your beneficiaries in the box below (e.g., people living with HIV/AIDS; disabled children; soapstone workers; child labourers).

Description: 90% of the beneficiaries live in rural areas, approximately 50% are Quechua speaking, 40% are Spanish speaking and 10% are Andes migrants to the capital Lima. Their level of education is basic (in the main it is also incomplete), they live in poverty. Their income generation is mainly dependant on the following: agriculture, raising of livestock, passing trade and domestic service. All participate in the community structure. Indicate or estimate the percentage or number of disabled beneficiaries reached since the project began in the box below

0.03% We have also included a number of individuals who are suffering from serious illnesses such as TB which also limit their ability to participate in community decision making processes. The collection of gender disaggregated data is a first step in gender mainstreaming. How has the collection of dissagregated data improved your project’s approach to reducing gender inequalities in participation and increasing empowerment in decision-making?

Ensuring that men have been involved from the start of the project has been crucial. They have been key to the process of sensitising other men in the community and encouraging them to live a more healthy way of life with much improved relationships between family members. They are also beginning to work on actions to eliminate gender based violence and violence against children. If the project is unable to specify who all beneficiaries are please explain.

If the project faces challenges in providing exact beneficiary numbers, please explain.

If the project is unable to disaggregate beneficiaries by gender or age, please explain.


ANNEX C: PORTFOLIO ANALYSIS (maximum of 3 pages) To be completed for all projects

DFID aims to capture and compare performance and results across the whole CSCF portfolio based on the information provided in the Annual Reports.

1. Please indicate which CSCF objectives your project contributes to:

Improves the capacity of southern civil society to contribute to local decision-making Improves the capacity of southern civil society to contribute to national decision-making Provides innovative service delivery Provides service delivery in challenging environments Contributes to global advocacy

For each question as appropriate either select ‘yes’ or ‘no’; or provide a score of 1 to 4 in terms of level of achievement:

1 = no evidence of achievement 2 = low / early indications of achievement 3 = significant achievement 4 = substantial achievement

2. Is your project contributing to a change in government policy? If you

answer NO, go to Question 3. If YES, answer the relevant questions below. Yes

No

What type of change has been achieved to-date? Score your response below. Ensure results are attributable to your project. 1 2 3 4

(a) Change in discourse e.g. coalition building; creating space for debate; verbal support for proposed policy change; popular demand for change emerges from the media/public/coalition advocacy.

Provide brief example & indicate evidence: The project has proveided training and strengthening for arenas and strategies for a dialogue between the population and the authorities, it has signified a change in the discourse with the authorities in the following ways: It has changed from not giving much importance to the role of CBOs in the fight against violence to paying attention to what they have to say and including them in consultation and the development of proposed changes etc. They now give space on their agendas for proposals to reduce violence against women and children. They now understand the link between economic and human development. They used to put up barriers to changes, now they have examined their personal motives for doing so and are now more open to using new tools such as the ‘Orientation Guide’ that this project is producing. (b) Policy development

e.g. working group formed; proposed changes/principles reflected in draft policies or legislation.

Provide brief example & indicate evidence: SJL is now the first district in Lima to have a Local Plan Against Violence towards Women and Children effective from 2009-2015 (Municiple Ordenance No172). In San Martin the Regional Systematic Strategic Plan for Development has been incorporated amongst others. As stated previously, in Apurimac agreement has been made for the donation of land specifically for the construction of a refuge. All of this is alongside the incorporation of proposals into the National Plan for Human Rights through regional consultations. (c) Policy adoption

e.g. policies are approved/passed into law; regulations are passed in support of primary legislation.


Name the relevant legislative body; and/or the policies approved/passed into law: Regional Ordenance No. 004-2013-GRSM-CR, for the constitution of the Regional Network for the Fight Against Human Trafficking in the San Martin Region. Regional Ordenance No 005-2013-GRSM-CR, for the Mainstreaming of the Focus on Gender in all areas and all management processes of the Regional Government of San Martin. The recent application of the new Penal Code in cases of domestic and sexual violence. (d) Policy implementation and enforcement

e.g. specific policy or policies are being implemented and enforced as a result of the project.

Provide brief example & indicate evidence: - Little political will in SJL to implement the Local Plan Against Violence towards women and

children. - In San Martin it is being implemented and in Apurimac it is in the stages of being created.

(e) Global advocacy e.g. issues debated in global fora

Provide brief example: N/A

3. Is your project leading or contributing to better practices in relation to

rights and access/quality of services? Yes

No

What type of change has been achieved to date? Score your response below

1 2 3 4

(a) People targeted by the project and others are now aware of their rights

Provide brief example & indicate evidence: Women in the communities often felt that they had nothing to say and nothing to offer. After training in Apurimac women such as Marina now realise that they have a voice and that they can speak out on the rights abuses that they see in their communities. (b) The voices of marginalized people are heard in local forums

Provide brief example & indicate evidence: Organised networks such as those mentioned above are now being recognised and included in the policy making process as is evidenced by the ongoing implementation of several plans that they have drafted. (c) People have improved access to services as a result of the project

Provide brief example & indicate evidence: As stated above in Apurimac the local authorities have granted access to land in order to construct two new women’s emergency centres which will be able to provide support to victims of gender based violence. (d) People experience improved quality of services as a result of the

project

Provide brief example & indicate evidence: The increased advocacy actions and the capacity building of local authorities has meant that they are now more concious of the most efficient way to prepare budgets and allocate funds to where they are most needed. (e) Innovative service delivery approaches have been adopted

Provide brief example, explain why innovative: N/A

7. Environmental Impact and Climate Change Mitigation


7.1 How would you describe the project’s environmental impact? 1 = Positive, 2 = Neutral, 3 = Insignificant

1 2 3

Proivde a brief justification for choice of ranking

It is a very different topic to the one this project relates to, it would require a much larger sustained actions that are directed at this particular theme to have any impact in these regions. However these communities are very worried by environmental issues and they can clearly see the impact that extractives industry is having on the climate and natural resources. It is also affecting their own production and livelihoods as many of them inhabit zones that have large forested areas. 7.2 Describe actions the project took to reduce negative environmental impact (use bullet points)

• Impressing the importance of the environment and what negative effects are created by various actions.

• Encouraging recycling. 7.3 Describe any activities taken by the project to build climate change resilience (use bullet points)

• Fomenting consumption of natural products.
