Our Vision
Our vision is peaceful and prosperous society based on social justice, equity and equality.

Our Mission
Our Mission is bring about policy and institutional changes by mobilizing marginalized communities to transform their lives through equitable and sustainable use of resources without any discrimination against social origin, sex, race, caste and religion.

Our Strategy
The success of the efforts to reduce poverty and promote good governance depends on the capital and potential that exists at the local level and whether an enabling environment exists to utilize it to the fullest. The local capital includes natural assets; such as land, water, forest, flora and fauna, social assets; such as family, community, social support networks; political assets; such as participation in decision making, appropriate decision making processes, empowerment and exercising basic human rights, human assets; such as, , labour, , physical assets; such as infrastructure including houses, roads, schools, hospitals and financial assets; such as saving, credit, enterprise, business, have an element of uncertainty. The enabling environment includes supportive policies, legal and regulatory framework, institutions, mechanisms and processes. All these capitals mentioned above are vulnerable to shocks, trends and seasonal fluctuations. Any effort to eradicate poverty and improve the quality of life of the poor must take into account all of the above mentioned factors and employ a holistic and integrated strategy to address them. To achieve this, Sungi uses DFID’s sustainable livelihoods framework to understand people’s livelihoods, strategies, issues and problems.

There is however, a clear understanding that Sungi’s role is to improve good governance by mobilizing people; influencing government policies, systems and structures and not to take roles of the government. This is ensured through following intervention strategies are adopted.

Strategies for achievement of local and district level outcomes

1) Functioning of community based organisations

Sungi develops and strengthens effectual local level institutions, to enable the poor communities to analyze their own problems and resource, to plan and implement their own development and advocacy programs. Broad based village committees (VCs) comprising of all the segments of society particularly the poor and those from ethnic minorities are organized at the village level. Separate VCs for women and men are formed initially, in most of the villages, however joint VCs of both men and women are also encouraged in situations where women are sufficiently capacitated to participate and assertively advocate for their rights. VCs are responsible to lead development process in their villages, through preparing village development plans with the support of government and non government organizations working in their village. Federations of VCs are formed at Union Council (UC) level in the form of Area Coordination Council (ACC). Within the VC structure, a number of sub-committees are formed to take lead in different sectoral programme intervention identified and agreed in the VDP. These committees are made by the VCs on the basis of village development plans and these would include health and hygiene committees, natural resource management and environment committees, enterprise development groups, disaster management committee, human rights committee etc.

The programme intervention starts with introductory meeting with both men and women of the village followed by detailed participatory analysis of people’s livelihoods assets, capacities, vulnerabilities, institutions and problems using PRA tools. Participatory well-being analysis is carried out to know about the poverty perceptions of the community, and categorising each household against i.e. well-off, better-off, poor, and ultra poor categories. VCs are formed through a democratic process on standard, but flexible guidelines to accommodate people’s own will. Membership and representation from all segments of community i.e. wellbeing categories, geographical locations in village and ethnic groups is ensured. It is ensured that poor and the minorities are the members of the organizations.

In order to empower women and encourage their active participation in the development process, Sungi insists on the formation of women VCs as a prerequisite for any village community to establish a working partnership with Sungi. Similarly, to the extent possible men and women are encouraged to work together and form joint VCs, ensuring the pre-requisites of participation and empowerment, with 50% of women representation in executive body.

Capacity building to ensure organizational growth and development is carried out by involving community in participatory reflection and action (PRA) exercises, and organizing social organization trainings, community management skills trainings (CMSTs), leadership and management skills training (LMST), and institutional development trainings. Village Development Plans (VDPs) and Area Development Plans (ADPs) are developed and implemented by VCs and ACCs. The process is initiated with PRA exercise by VCs, with a limited facilitation from Sungi staff, involving relevant stakeholders’ especially representatives from Government Line Agencies (GLAs). Participatory Reflection and Action (PRA) approach is used for this purpose, which ensure interactive level of participation of women, men, children and all stakeholders, reflecting on their own lives, analyzing resources and in planning and implementation of their own development agendas. This has proved to be an effective way of breaking conventional biases, prejudices and barriers, and in providing a new enthusiasm and confidence to people to change their lives. Being a rights’ based advocacy and development organization, effective knowledge management, awareness raising and empowerment are important elements of Sungi’s approach.

VDPs and ADPs become the basis for all types of interventions including development and advocacy programmes. Sungi works with the local government at UC, Tehsil and District levels to enhance their role in local development process. Linkages of the grassroots institutions are developed and VCs and ACCs are facilitated to present their VDPs to the local government for support. It is also ensured that all stakeholders are involved in participatory planning process and they are encouraged to take roles to contribute in the VDPs. Local level advocacy issues mainly related to policy implementation are taken-up by the ACCs with district authorities. Some operational level issues are easily solved through UC and Tehsil level government authorities.

Empowered communities especially women require an enabling environment that provides them the guidance, support and assistance to join hands and work together for poverty alleviation and improving the quality of life especially of the poor and marginalized. It would require people friendly policies, legal and regulatory frameworks and institutional arrangements in which top-down systems are replaced by a bottom-up participatory approach. Policy issues identified in VDPs and ADPs are further analysed and taken up with the provincial and federal government through engaging Sungi’s partner organizations and engaging other NGOs, CBOs and civil society across the country or the provinces. Sungi facilitates developing and implementation of advocacy campaigns and encourages community organizations to take lead. Policy advocacy requires research, coalition building, lobbying with the policy makers/legislators and campaigning to achieve set milestones.

Accountability mechanism is promoted within the community organizations through capacity building, involving them in project implementation and participatory monitoring and evaluation. Sungi develops accountability mechanism on the grassroots through a number of activities. Accountability committees are formed at the UC level and for each project separate audit committees are formed. Sungi facilitates the ACCs to organizes "accountability forums" in each UC, where beneficiaries and general public openly share the issues and problems related to work of Sungi and other partners including VCs and ACCs. Sungi strives to ensures that all HAP principles are followed. A complaint mechanism by involving VCs would be further strengthened and implemented.

On the VCs platform, Sungi will continue to educate rights holders especially women, youth and minorities about their fundamental rights, developing their vision towards good governance, people’s cantered policies, decision making and development at the grassroots. Culture of mutual coordination and accountability of elected representatives by the people would be promoted. Violence against women is the most conspicuous problem in Sungi’s working area, hence prioritized focus by the human rights program. A cadre of trained and motivated activists through a comprehensive activist training programme would be developed.

In order to contribute to Sungi’s over all vision and mission and in line with the millennium development goals Sungi would help build the capacities of village organizations/CBOs and marginalized groups particularly women, ultra poor and minorities, to enable them to contribute in socio-economic and political development. The HID’s direct target beneficiaries for capacity building would include communities, public sector organizations, CSOs and Sungi staff. Through young professional’s and interns initiative, Sungi would help educated youth to determine the direction of their career and realize their skills and aptitude in the field of rights based development. Sungi’s will develop leadership and management skills of the community leadership and institutional development to enable organizations to function independently even once Sungi’s support is not available. Sungi links class room training with the real field situation through exposure visits and attachment of the trainees in Sungi programme area. Sungi prefers to utilize the services of experienced and serving development professional as resource persons and mentors. Sungi would continue ensuring quality of its training programmes through applying the above mentioned techniques. HID program would continue, building relationships and linkages with other training and capacity building organization for sharing of resources in promoting the cause of HID.

Sungi has established Omar Asghar Khan Center for Development (OAKCD), as a training and development institute to cater capacity building needs of Sungi staff, community partners and development professionals working in Pakistan and abroad. OAKCD caters training needs of Sungi’s own programmes, and through offering services to projects and organizations also earns financial resources for Sungi. Promoting rights based approaches to development, advocacy and enhancing participation and empowerment is emphasized in OAKCD training programme. Sungi would strengthen this centre to enhance its capacity and outreach.

2) Livelihoods: Food security & Income generation:

Sungi will continue promoting traditional crafts as income generation opportunities for women economic empowerment and conservation of cultural heritage. Sungi would revive, promote and raise awareness about the relevance of existing crafts and reach out to the untapped skilled human resource. Through enterprise development programme (EDP), Sungi would continue providing information and knowledge; forming of interest groups; linking them with the market, suppliers, traders, value chain development etc.; forming networks and associations of local artisans and craft groups; arranging study and exposure visits, and transfer of appropriate technology. Training of various groups i.e. middlepersons, organizations, consumers, craft persons, government officials, in the area of fair trade will be carried out, so that they could improve the image of their business by applying social and environment friendly standards. Sungi crafts shops would continue to promote indigenous crafts of other areas, to empower women through greater economic security. The possibility of e-business and export of these products would be explored and strengthened. Through household based business planning approach would be sued to improve livelihood of the poor households.

Through village organizations, Sungi would provide financial assistance to the poor women to establish their micro-entrepreneur to enhance their income. Microcredit would be provided for productive purposes, to develop livelihood means. This would be done as integral part of the enterprise development programme, and the loans would only be given to viable household based business plans of the selected poor households. Capacity building of the beneficiaries in enterprise development, financial management and marketing would be carried out, through village organizations. Assistance is provided at the doorstep for agriculture inputs, livestock, and enterprise development. VDPs would be basis for all microfinance interventions and active involvement of VC in the micro finance needs assessment and disbursement, backed up by careful scrutiny and follow-up by the Sungi staff, and provision of requisite vocational and marketing skills would ensures effective utilization of the capital leading to increased income levels. A Financial Management Committee (FMC) is set up to effectively manage the financial resources of the VC including micro credit disbursement and repayment through the VC forum. Village banking would be initiated in selected villages after successful implementation of programme and having developed needed capacity of the organizations. In order to minimize risk and to provide safety-nets to the poor households utilizing credit, Sungi had been engaged with the leading insurance companies for insurance coverage of the beneficiaries. This option will be useful in cases where for example, due to a natural disaster/calamity or death of a creditor, the household is not in a position to repay the loan and needs some additional financial assistance for income generation.

Sungi is further working on the MF models like Akhuat, with an objective to benefit the ultra-poor women and extremely vulnerable men only. Once we finalized its strategy, we will mobilize resources for its operational cost and seed money through philanthropists. This may take another six months or a year to materialize, it for which detailed risk analysis would be done. Through this programme Sungi will provide interest free micro-credit mainly to women and the marginalized men.

Sustainable livelihoods of the marginalized farmers particularly women and minorities would be ensured through community based natural resource management approach. Sensitization campaigns and training events will be organized to educate farmers about the adverse effects of excessive use of chemicals, pesticides and fertilizers. Ecologically sound alternatives will be introduced and skills will be imparted to the villagers to go for biological solutions. Conservation of biological assets and gene banking of indigenous species is given due importance and local seed banks will be developed and promoted. Non timber forest products (NTFPs) use would be promoted and women involvement in NTFP’s would be enhanced. Through introducing these measures Sungi is anticipating enhancing organic agriculture production and improved land use. Plantation campaigns would be organized every year to increase the tree cover and to arrest landslides and soil erosion. Improved livestock management practices would be introduced and local livestock and poultry specialists - particularly women - would be trained to provide better animal husbandry. Vaccination campaigns would be regularly organised through trained extension workers with support of livestock department to prevent the spread of disease among livestock and poultry. Subsequently, inputs such as poultry birds, improved seed, samplings and technical guidance are provided to the women to help them grow vegetables, fruit and keep poultry for domestic use and as an additional source of income.

To enhance participation of the ultra-poor and minorities, household based planning approach to sustainable livelihoods has been integrated in Sungi’s SM approach. Ultra-poor households identified during wellbeing analysis would be organized into groups, to provide support in building their livelihood assets and capacities. This would help Sungi to reach the most marginalized, address gender disparities at household level and reach those who have always been left out by one or the other way in most of the community based development models.

Sungi’s strategic vision for NRM is ensuring the food security at local level. It means that each household is practicing sustainable agriculture in their small landholdings and producing sufficient vegetables, poultry, livestock and cereal crops for the local consumption. It is aimed that each village would be self sufficient in basic food items, with minimum supply from outside the area. In addition, every village would have solid waste management system in place, each household practicing compost making and organic farming. This would be piloted in at least 50 villages by 2011. Operational advocacy on water conservation, food security and environment would be carried out through awareness raising, building coalitions and networks at UC, and district level and facilitating linkages with GLAs.

3. Health & education:

Health awareness campaign would be a key tool utilized by Sungi in the coming years to raise awareness among the men and women community equipping them with basic knowledge regarding health and hygiene. These sessions would also build public awareness regarding HIV/AIDS and precautionary measures to prevent the fatal diseases and help mothers follow a healthy diet in the pre natal and post natal phase which would ensure the newborn children to grow and thrive to their full potential. Moreover, some special sessions would be delivered to cater for the psycho-social health of the community especially with the women. Sungi would train health volunteers and lady health workers to render their valuable services for the benefit of the community women. Key milestone for this programme is, that the prevalence of all infectious diseases like TB, Hepatitis B & C, malaria, HIV/AIDs and cholera are reduced significantly in 20 demonstration villages where 80% men and women are aware about prevention and control of these diseases. All Tuberculosis patients will be receiving treatment with support of village organizations and community, in these demonstration villages by 2011. HIV awareness raising would be carried out through village organizations. Sungi would however, focus more in Mansehra and Swabi in this regard and where necessary specific target oriented awareness raising would be done. Sungi, will link village organizations with expert organizations for technical assistance and specialized capacity building in HIV related issues.

Through its education program Sungi will focus on increasing literacy rate and providing quality education to the marginalized groups particularly for girl child through intensive awareness, community mobilization and advocacy campaigns. The program would endeavour to achieve at least 70% girl’s enrolment in primary schools in 20 demonstration villages and dropout would be minimized to ensure at least 70% girls enrolled shall pass primary level. "No girl out of school" campaign would be launched through VCs in all target villages. Development and strengthening parent teacher councils (PTCs) would be carried out to enhance role of parents and teachers in educational development. Gender sensitization sessions organized with VCs and ACCs would be used to sensitize women and men parents to educate their girl child.

4. Community infrastructure:

Sungi encourages linkages of the community with the government and other projects, through developing and facilitating relationship of the VCs and ACCs. Sungi provides one or two infrastructure scheme, which enables local community to be capacitated to plan and implement and infrastructure project in a most cost effective manner, without engaging external contractors. Linkages of the communities are developed with line departments to get access to social services and infrastructure schemes. Key milestones for the community infrastructure programme would be ensuring "community led total sanitation in at least 10 demonstration working villages". Awareness raising of the community on disaster sensitive house construction be done and effort would be made that all new houses in the working villages would be built following disaster responsive building codes. This would be achieved through intensive advocacy on behavioural change, especially in respect of health hazards of open defecation, non hygienic conditions and clean environment.

5. Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)

Sungi Development Foundation is one of the few NGOs in Pakistan in the process of developing their humanitarian response capacity and integrating disaster management in their rights based development and advocacy work. Sungi responded to a number of disasters including "South Asian Earthquake 2005", contributed significantly and added the learning in its institutional capacity of humanitarian response.

Sungi would develop disaster management committees and emergency response teams in the most vulnerable areas, based on the vulnerability mapping. A participatory hazard, vulnerability and capacity assessment exercises would be carried out to develop disaster management plans in the most vulnerable areas, by the village and area level committees. VCs and ACCs would develop DMCs and develop teams of women and men volunteers to be trained to take proactive roles of disaster mitigation and dealing emergency situations. Sungi would utilize all its social capital developed as part of its social mobilization approach to integrate disaster risk management in mainstream development. This is one of the tested sustainable models of community based disaster management as compared to separate disaster management structure developed in project mode. Awareness and capacity building of women and men VCs in disaster management and sustainable development would be carried out with all VCs. A team of volunteers would be developed through intensive capacity building exercises in the most hazardous areas. At present Sungi had been able to develop Union council disaster management system in about 10 UCs and supporting district disaster management centres in two districts and continue this in these districts and include two more districts in this model. Sungi had established stock pile and continuing in its head office and intends to establish stock piles in the far flung most vulnerable UCs, and system of replenishment would be established. Sungi follows humanitarian standards in its responses and is member of HAP International, and initiated steps for HAP certification to ensure accountability principles in its work.

Strategy for provincial and national advocacy:

The role of Sungi Development Foundation is of a facilitator where the communities itself take initiatives and strive for bringing about policy and institutional changes and transform their lives through equitable and sustainable use of resources. Therefore, Sungi primarily advocates issues either emerged at local levels or policies directly or indirectly affecting the marginalized communities. The local advocacy issues are taken care of at local level by different programs while the policy level issues by Policy Advocacy Program. Sungi’s advocacy work is the cornerstone of its integrated approach to development. The issues and constraints faced by the partner communities in Sungi’s programme areas and other parts of Pakistan are carefully looked into from a policy perspective. The existing policy and legal frameworks are carefully examined and advocate for creating an enabling environment by making changes and improvements either in the existing policy and legal frameworks or developing a new policy and related frameworks.

Besides working in the forest and water sectors Sungi will expand its policy advocacy work in other select areas including natural resource management (such as agriculture, livestock, desertification), social sectors (health, education, women and child rights, reproductive health, human rights), disaster management, gender and human resource development.

Research is used as a tool for developing position papers. Sungi is expert in conducting research on policies and other advocacy issues and hence would develop research papers for policy and practice changes. To document Sungi’s success and failures in programme implementation and using the same for future programme improvement, Sungi ensures research and documentation as a regular function. Baseline assessment at grassroots level is done, at the early stages of programme implementation as part of local level planning. Immediate effects and long term impacts of the programmes are assessed through empirical and structured research studies. The research findings are documented and circulated to the concerned within and outside Sungi. Case studies are documented through capturing process, and results of the interventions and these are used for programme improvements and capacity building.

Research papers will be compiled on National, provincial and local district issues. On the basis of the research papers campaigns will be designed to improve, formulate policies, hold seminars, conferences, advocate and lobby with decision makers, legislators, parliamentarians, district governments and all other stakeholders. If necessary rallies, demonstrations will be organized to build pressure on legislators and government to improve, formulate and implement policies.

Sungi is involved in two types of advocacy- reactive and proactive. Besides responding to the emerging situations and issues, Sungi is also engaged in proactive advocacy for bringing pro-people changes in the laws/ policies. 　Sungi believes in Research Based Policy Advocacy and Sungi will produce credible evidence for supporting its cause and influencing policies. For this purpose the available research material as well as new research will be conducted and issue based position papers will be developed. On the basis of these position papers campaigns will be designed and implemented. For developing partnership and collaboration with other like-minded organizations, building, supporting and strengthening coalition/ networks is another specific feature of Sungi’s advocacy.

Sungi uses various advocacy tools. The selection of tools will be done while keeping in view the nature and level of advocacy campaign. Some of the tools used by Sungi in its advocacy campaigns are; seminars, workshops, roundtables, signature campaigns, rallies, walks, press conferences, advocacy/ lobbying meetings, street theatre, hunger/ protest camps, exposure visits, fact-finding missions, posters/leaflets, peoples assemblies, social audit, public interest litigations etc.

Working with poor women home based workers sensitized Sungi to strive for the labour rights of the home based women workers. Sungi with support of other civil society partners drafted the national policy for home based women workers (HBWWs), which is ready to be presented to Government at the provincial level for enactment and implementation. Sungi will continue to lobby with all stakeholders including government, parliamentarians, private sector and civil society for policy reforms to safeguard the rights of the home based women workers, ensuring fair remuneration, safe and healthy working environment. Sungi would also assist home based workers/craft persons at national scale in formation of a formal group to secure their future production, marketing potential and their rights particularly as home based women workers (HBWWs).

In human rights, efforts would be made for repealing discriminatory laws against women and minorities and give way to newly formulated policies and laws introducing social reforms in line with CEDAW. The establishment of peace forums at UC, tehsil and district level would be initiated to promote peace and harmony in society. In the backdrop of the extremist tendencies in society various sensitization sessions will be conducted with religious entities on peace, women’s’ empowerment & minorities’ participation in social development.

Sungi successfully established and facilitating Sarhad Awami Forestry Ittehad (SAFI), an environment focused civil society network in NWFP, contributing significantly in advocating for environment and rights of the local communities on the natural resources. Sensitization, educating and mobilizing the partner communities about the importance of environment and its role for securing a healthy life would be continued. It would offer expert advice and inputs to halt and reverse environmental degradation and depletion of natural resources. In view of the issues and hardships faced by the local people, relevant policies would be carefully examined and improvements would be advocated with the support of the partners and stakeholders and by working closely with the parliamentarians, elected local representatives and government functionaries at the relevant levels.

Sungi is engaged in development of national education policy, but there is a need to further work for providing more opportunities for enhancing girls education. Sungi is engaged with a national campaign on engendering education. Sungi is struggling to engage religious leaders and tribal leaders for promotion of girls education and it would be continued during this phase.

The health program would conduct advocacy and lobbying with government to ensure proper functionality of health institutions (BHUs, dispensaries, hospitals) to cater to the health needs of the community. Sungi would help establish liaison with NGOs/INGOs and GLAs through networking, to have consultations regarding current health issues faced at the grass root level by partner communities, and work out pragmatic solutions. In district health forums involving stakeholders, the communities would be able to plug in their issues and relevant solutions would be collectively worked out by the experts. Sungi initiated campaign to influence national health policy to be gender responsive and poor friendly. Sungi would assess health issues through participation of village organizations and health committees and would identify health advocacy issues for operational and policy advocacy. Advocacy programme would be developed selecting appropriate methodologies and tools for advocating health rights of the poor particularly women.

Sungi will carry out advocacy initiatives towards influencing disaster related policies and legal frameworks. The ultimate objective is to promote people’s friendly institutional and legal arrangement to protect vulnerable groups such as orphaned children, and women etc. Sungi intends to establish and strengthen humanitarian forum of rights based national humanitarian NGOs/civil society to set humanitarian agendas in emergencies and advocacy. This would be in continuation of earlier efforts in the form of Joint Action Committee developed for earthquake response.

Following will be the key strategies for provincial and national level advocacy outcomes:

a) On provincial level

1. To reduce delay of CBO registration process Sungi will mobilise community and stakeholders (rights holders) to put pressure on Social Welfare Department (SWD) to make the registration process simple and quick. Sarhad NGO Ittehad (SNI) would be mobilized and supported to lobby with the social welfare ministry and provincial SWD. Capacity of SWD at district level would be built to facilitate the registration process. 
   
2. To lobby for Complete Provincial Autonomy (Fiscal powers, Control over natural resources and abolishing Concurrent List) in the national parliament, research on provincial autonomy issues would be carried out. The findings would be disseminated through seminars/dialogue and inputs from the constitutional experts and political parties would be taken. Draft recommendations would be prepared and shared with constitutional experts to study and finalize in a workshop. Hold dialogues, advocate and lobby with MPAs, Senators and MNAs by stressing their own provincial and constituency stakes.
    
3. For amendment of the regulations on Joint Forest Management Committee (JFMC) to enhance community members leading role in local level forest management, dialogues would be initiated with the forest department through Sarhad Awami Forestry Ittehad and other stakeholders. MPAs will be engaged in dialogue, to stress environment issues and importance of forests and forest dweller rights. Rights holders, would be mobilized and joint seminars with MPAs, department, environment ministry would be organized. Rallies and demos for amendment and implementation would also be carried out . 

d) On national level (federal government)

1. For constitutional reforms of FATA a network of FATA civil society would be mobilized, research would be conducted to assess the implications of FCR, extension of Political Parties Act and representative Local Government system in FATA. Hold dialogue in seminars/workshops to agree on Constitutional amendment agenda with participation of political parties and advocate, lobby for implementation through rallies and demos if necessary.
2. To propagate the Electoral reforms agenda as put forward by a National alliance of Civil society group for an independent and permanent Election Commission, Election Commissioner Appointment and tenure made by parliament; and Computerisation of Electoral rolls, Sungi will organise workshops/seminars with and National Alliance. Lobbying with parliamentarians would be carried out through the national alliance of civil society.
   
3. For amendment of constitutional status of Northern areas Sungi will organize a civil society alliance of Northern Area. Advocacy workshops, seminars would be held. Hold joint consultations with Constitutional experts and political parties on the status of NAs and draft an amendment for adoption by Federal Cabinet and National Assembly. Stress human rights of NAs and advocate inclusion of NAs into mainstream Constitutional Pakistan.
   
4. To advocate for the approval of policy on water rights and renewable energy which had already been drafted by the Peoples Water Alliance, Sungi will hold seminars, workshops and get experts advice on draft policy. Advocate, lobby for adoption with MNAs, Cabinet members. Hold dialogue with WAPDA, Irrigation and Agriculture departments, Chambers of Commerce, etc. To get support. Rallies, and demos would also be organized.
   
5. For approval of the National resettlement policy by the cabinet, which had already submitted by an alliance of civil society actors, provincial and federal parliamentarians will engaged to push pressure on the cabinet for the adoption of policy. Seminars/workshops and rallies will be organized at provincial and national levels.
   
6. A national civil society alliance propagate resolutions with their respective provincial assemblies for approval and enactment of draft of home based (women) workers (HBW) policy (in line with commitment of GoP to CEDAW committee in 2007 and ILO convention 177), Partner civil society organisations will hold press conferences, meetings with Women’s Ministry, women parliamentarians, to advocate and lobby for propagating resolutions for approval and enactment of draft policy on HBW. Women organisations, associations are mobilised for building pressure on parliament and government.
