06. Social Mobilization Program: Social mobilization occupies a vital place of HANDS program and approaches with

primary focus on working with the poor and disadvantaged. Social mobilization is a

participatory process to raise awareness, mobilize and involve local institutions, local


16

leadership and local communities to organize for collective action towards a common

vision. The basic working philosophy of HANDS Social Mobilization Program has been to

develop Community Based Organization (CBO) as its partner in community development,

therefore all programs and projects are implemented with collaboration of CBO, Local

Support Organizations (LSOs) and local NGOs’ networks which ensure the sustainability

of the program.

06.1 Community Partner Organizations

HANDS strongly believe in

community participation and

empowerment for sustainable

development. Therefore it has

adopted the strategy to establish

the partnerships with local

community for implementation of

all interventions including health,

education, IDEAS and Poverty

Alleviation. HANDS developed

separate Male and Female CBOs

to ensure women representation at the community level.

Through this approach the local communities are organized as organizations or already

existing organized groups are strengthened through trainings and then regular follow up

visits, meetings and hands-on trainings by field teams. These organizations are empowered

enough to monitor the whole interventions and take parts in decision making for the

improvement of the development process. During the reported quarter HANDS have

formed 45 Men and Women Community Based Organization and overall 5,671 CBOs have

been formed in different districts.

15. National Community Convention:

Vision 2025 Government of Pakistan: On August 11, 2014 Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif unveiled GOP Vision 2025 to increase

the per capita income from $1,299 to $4,200, bring down poverty from 49% to 20%,

increase exports up to $150 billion, bridge the current electricity supply-demand gap by

2018 and, cater to future demand by adding 25,000MW by 2025.

The Vision aims to increase water storage capacity to 90 days, improve efficiency of usage

in agriculture by 20%, ensure access to clean drinking water for all Pakistanis and reduce

food insecure population from 60% to 30%.

It envisages increasing primary school enrollment and completion rate to 100%, literacy

rate to 90%, increasing higher education coverage from 7% to 12 %, and increasing the

number of PhDs from 7,000 to 25,000. Improving primary and secondary gender parity

index to 1, increasing female workforce participation rate from 24% to 45%, increasing the

proportion of population with access to improved sanitation from 48% to 90%, reducing

IMR from 74 to less than 40 (per 1,000 births) and reducing MMR from 276 to less than

140 (per 1,00,000 births), reducing incidence/prevalence of hepatitis, diahorrea, diabetes

and heart disease by 50% and eyeing world championship in three sports and 30 medals in

the Asian games.

The Vision aims to make Pakistan one of 25 largest economies in the world and reach

upper middle income country status. It also aims at increasing tax-to-GDP ratio from 8.5%

to 18%.

Based upon seven pillars, the Vision 2025 states that the government will focus on key

areas including developing social and human capital, achieving sustained, indigenous and

inclusive growth, governance, institutional reforms and modernization of public sector,

energy, water and food security, private sector-led growth, developing a competitive

knowledge economy and modernizing transportation infrastructure and greater regional

connectivity.

“Pakistan Vision 2025 recognizes that without an environment of security, economic

development can neither be meaningful nor sustainable. Increased investment, growth and

economic revival is impossible without peace and security,” it further states. A peaceful

neighborhood is a prerequisite to economic growth. Externally, Pakistan desires “peace

with dignity”. We pursue a policy of zero conflict. We wish to resolve all disputes with our

neighbors peacefully. Pakistan’s ability to bridge regions like South Asia, West Asia and

Central Asia and provide an economic corridor will be strengthened by this strategy. The

policy of maintaining deterrence for our national security is critical and has to be

maintained.

PPP: The public-private partnerships will be promoted through a comprehensive policy

regime. A Bureau of Infrastructure Development (BID) will be established to coordinate


38

and oversee private sector’s participation in infrastructure development and provide a one-

stop shop facility for project approval, processing and financing.

To allow active engagement, collaboration and even leadership roles, all citizens will be

encouraged to become Vision Champions at district, provincial and federal levels. Vision

Champions will be selected on the basis of their contribution to exceptional new ideas,

notable accomplishments in line with the Vision 2025 aspirations, and leadership roles in

community-based initiatives. Under Vision 2025, the Government of Pakistan is committed

to making the government open, transparent, accountable, and responsive to citizens.

To release resources for the private sector, we will bring down fiscal deficit below 4% of

GDP in the long run and attain the domestic savings rate of 18-21% of GDP in order to

finance investment from domestic resources.

Background: The Citizens of Pakistan are such a social group which is affected by every public and

social decision. Yet mostly in the process of development of vision 2025, HANDS Pakistan

started obtaining public opinion and feedback on the “Pakistan vision 2025” from five

thousand rural and urban organizations of 44 districts, three months ago. Ultimately on

26th March 2015 HANDS 5000 partner of Community Based Organization from all over

Pakistan participated in the “National Community Convention”, Sports Complex Kashmir

Road Karachi.

Proceeding: The event was enthusiastically participated by HANDS CBO’s representative members of

more than 5000 CBO across the country and all of the speeches and role playing and

discussions were led by them. Through rallies and holding placards, theater and songs

people expressed their views. Other civil society organizations also shared their views on

various aspects of development of Pakistan and peoples deprivations.

Outcome: All deliberations have culminated into a declaration called “Karachi Declaration” which is

a reaction and analytical recommendation in the context of sustainable development under

“Pakistan vision 2025. This declaration has highlighted the rights of the public and ways to

protect these rights. The declaration demanded from Federal and Provincial Governments

to ensure Citizen Rights in the implementation of vision 2025.Resolution also demands

from all democratic institutions to keep poor, weak and vulnerable segments of population

in mainstream of development. Civil society organizations of Pakistan are committed to

follow implementation of vision 2025 by Federal &Provincial Governments. They

confirmed to organize National Community Convention and publish Watch 2025 Report

every year.
