Founding Director’s Message

Dear friends,
With the grace of Almighty Allah, we are blessed with energy, and A WILL to continue
our journey on the belief and path we chose in 1998. The present report highlights
many achievements of the year 2019-2020 year that deserve gratitude and
celebration. Let me share with you one of the happiest blessings and that is, we
managed to install the drinking water facility at IDSP’s University of Community
Development campus. After suffering without any proper arrangement of drinking
water source for around a decade, finally, with Allah’s Mercy, a great friend of IDSP’s
University of Community Development, the founder of Human Necessities Foundation
Dr. Ali Hazratji, and with the support of IDSP graduates, friends and family a well-
established tube well system fully equipped with solar energy and water storage tank
has been installed and water is now flowing on IDSP’s University of Community
Development land. This blessing indicates that IDSP is on the straight path towards
its destination. Here I must acknowledge the untiring efforts of IDSP’s Co-director Mr.
Safdar Husain who ensured it all. My belief is growing stronger and stronger with each
passing year that the rough, unknown, and undiscovered route we have walked for
the last twenty-two years, is getting smooth and clear with regard to the first part of
IDSP’s mission statement, “To nurture and develop individuals and communities”, Our
unbroken and actively engaged practices in nurturing our young ones with loving care,
demonstrate that we are following our mission, though slow but steady. IDSP’s present
annual report validates the fact that by investing in young people with focus,
dedication, and caring love, society gets returns that benefit every sphere of life be it
market, society, or politics.
IDSP’s program of its courses has been exceptional during the present reporting
period. IDSP’s team engaged in designing and conducting seven courses, these
courses had 157 learners who graduated while 92 of these learners are women.
IDSP believes in lifelong learning, no matter what is the age, status, position, or
education. Learning gets intense with conscious reflective practices.
It is estimated that on average each one of these learners impacted the welfare and
development, of a minimum of 25 people to max 100 people in their immediate or
extended families, communities, and district. (Estimated)
The young team of IDSP created more than 28 working partnerships locally and in the
province, as a result of excellent leadership by Mr. Saeed Shah, IDSP’s Co-Director.
Ms. Farkhanda Aslam Co-Director has been engaged in creating the log-frame for
IDSP’s course of Midwives Leadership in Community Development. The concept of
learning from the people and communities was practiced by one of IDSP’s learners
and graduate Mr. Faizullha Kakar, who completed his masters from Australia and
returned to reconnect with IDSP as an Associate Director. Ms. Razia Karim has
facilitated the girls of Quetta to continue their formal education through Merit Grant for
Young Women while Mr. Zahoor launched online film making courses. Our admin and
finance team ensured that all procedures are followed during the lockdown.
Having said it, the real powerful impact of the young graduates of IDSP is fully
demonstrated during the crises of Covid-19. In 17 districts, 40 graduates that include
our community Midwives, engaged with their families, communities, and district health
hospitals. Ms. Attiya Bibi, the Project Assistant, and Ms. Rubina Usman, Manager of
the Midwifery Program have continued the online Midwifery training and courses. They
identified the most affected families due to lockdown, and provided food relief to more
than 1300 families, provided awareness and education on Covid-19 to 5000 families.
The Community Midwives helped mothers in the safe birthing of their babies at home.
IDSP’s graduates and learners provided protection kits to the doctors and paramedics
in 25 district hospitals. All these community services were voluntary. The concept is
learned from the people and communities, plan with them and work with them, and as
one engages one learns and understands one’s own family, people, and their realities.
The challenge is if IDSP can create practices that help each learner to analyze their
practices in a research framework. It will be these research-based stories that will
empower the young community-based learner, to help IDSP start its journey on to its
second part of Mission Statement which says, “that will change the power structures
by demystifying the processes of education and development,” the University of
Community Development will create its courses based on these researches, while the
researchers are the facilitators/ and mentors of UCD courses. Thus IDSP will be
creating its UCD with its faculty of community-based researchers and teachers in their
communities to their young ones.
I pray we can make this dream come true. Inshallah, it will be our General Body and
its Executive Committee, which is constituted with IDSP’s learners, and associates,
and supporters since its creation will ensure this dream in reality.
We all in IDSP needs your prayers and support,
Quratulain Bakhteari

Brief Description: [open learning space]

IDSP is a practice-based learning space for youths belonging to all over the country.
The young people are engaged based on their ideas and commitment to social
change. IDSP imparts knowledge and skills to the youths based on innovative
pedagogies of learning and practices. The focus has always been on the youths whose
consistency and continuity of practices of change and growth from within, that creates
energy in them for self-reflection leading to self-accountability for their learning. IDSP
does not claim to be the knowledgeable teacher and evaluator of the learning of an
individual. It only works with each individual to take on self-directed learning and
establish a meaningful and vibrant connection with one’s self. The learners' practice
to engage their deep inner self to overcome their fears, inhibitions, low self-esteem,
and lack of confidence. They also identify their inner barriers that are obstructing the
energies in generating and regenerating responses to external challenges. These
barriers are overcome in a process of practical learning under the guidance of
experienced mentors. It is these processes that each learner slowly and gradually
converts into learning practices. IDSP encourages the processes of constant learning,
unlearning, and relearning with each learner in his or her context through practice-
based development and leadership courses with a focus on self, family, community as
well as governance at local, national and global levels. Thus creating circular viral
energy from the knowledge gained through practices.
It is this constant viral energy created by learners that makes IDSP an open learning
space and IDSP as an institution is a learning space and not a provider of knowledge,
instead IDSP itself is constantly learning, unlearning and relearning and emerging with
its learners. It is this organic growing space that is generated by its learners that IDSP
engages through its courses of critical thinking and leadership.
The learners who graduate from IDSP’s courses have a choice to go into professional
development thus shaping a meaningful career path for themselves, or make social
change discourse their way of life, affecting social change processes and outcomes
at the family, community, local, national and ultimately at the global level.
IDSP’s Practices and its engaging energies in the last twenty-two years have evolved
a process of engaging with young people across Pakistan, while of course, the majority
of engagements are with the young people of Balochistan. The process of mutual
learning practices of IDSP and its learners starts from one’s self and a critical self-
analysis takes place, at the second level the learner meaningfully reconnects with his
or her family and its wellbeing. At the third level, the learner engages with her or his
community and creates for change that can be around the change at self-level, family,
or community level. At the fourth level, the learner understands and creates linkages
with local governance of his or her district, and also learns the skills of networking to
global connection through the internet. These practice-based analytical and reflective
learning engagement can be structured in a minimum six months course period to a
maximum of six years, depending upon the individual choices and pattern of practices.
IDSP is in the process of redefining its learning engagement practices. Based on
closer examination we feel that IDSP is in a lifelong learning process that goes on all
the time without any duration or time limits. This makes IDSP’s learning journey a very
unique one. Since 1998, more than 186,590 people in various communities have
engaged with IDSP through its learners. Thus each learner individual, his or her family,
his or her community, and the local governments are engaged in small or major
entrepreneurial efforts. Defiantly a fundamental beginning for major change.

Sustainability: Financial and Philosophical, (an analytical sharing)
IDSP being a learning institution is committed to ensure its freedom of open spaces,
to gradually and organically evolve educational and development processes and
practices as mentioned in its mission statement, is well aware and vigilant on its
funding sources, its cost of operations, its institutional lifestyle and its values.
IDSP strongly believes that no institution can sustain for long on donor funding nor any
kind of funding that comes from outside the institution, can ensure its open learning
space. Here it is important to understand how IDSP defines its sustainability. We
believe that the values, the learning culture, keeping humans in the center of practices,
its practices for an integrated and collective horizontal developmental and growth, at
its speed, individual capacity and organically growing paths are not compromised, or
detracted or destroyed in the name of financial sustainability is the assurance of
IDSP’s practices and a path to its vision. While this path gives very vibrant energy to
IDSP’s leading team members, but at the same time, we all do get trapped in the
corporate or conventional organizational structures. This push and pull often becomes
frustratingly challenging for the young and evolving team and institution at one level,
while it also inspires us all due to the uniqueness of the journey of collective growth
with a focus on individual too.
Therefore, ever since its inception IDSP focused and created horizontal institutional
management, operational and learning structures, rather than top-down hierarchal and
authority-driven expensive Human Resource Management System (HRMS)
determined by market forces. IDSP’s continuing mentoring practices that kept
generating human resources needed for the functioning of mutual learning space with
the young people, their families, and communities have been a milestone of its inner
strength of IDSP’s institutional capacity building.
Secondly, IDSP because of its above-mentioned practices attracted donors who
believed in a similar definition of sustainability as IDSP’s. Thus IDSP’s funding sources
have been long-term on a fundamental conceptual basis rather than the input,
outcome, and measuring impact and producing convincing reports as the only purpose
of funds utilization. IDSP has been very fortunate that during its initial formative phase
of ten years, it had funding partners like Asia Foundation, Ashoka Foundation, Gender
Equity Program, National Endowment for Democracy, Fund for Global Human Rights,
Skoll Foundation, Infaq Foundation, Japan’s Social Development Fund, UNESCO,
UNICEF, while the government of Balochistan helped in constructing of protection wall
and a check dam. Skoll Award came in 2006 for the individual work of Quratulain
Bakhteari since 1978 and creating the idea of IDSP. This financial and global
networking gave stability to IDSP for the coming eight to 10 years and built its
foundation. Unlike conventional donors, the Skoll Foundation agreed to use its grant
to purchase IDSP's building in Quetta. In 2006 IDSP purchased its first capital asset
as its office and campus building with a double story house in Quetta’s city center. It
was the first time for IDSP after eight years of its creation in 1998 and working from
rented spaces, finally got its own physical space. Here we worked and had our hostel
too. With the efforts of IDSP’s graduates, the chief minister of Balochistan announced
four acres of land for the creation of IDSP’s University of Community Development in
the same year 2006.
In 2008, IDSP invested its resources in courses for Balochistan’s women in fashion
designing with handmade Balochistan embroidery, sheep farming with fellowship, and
small business support to one of IDSP associated learner based in Loralai. In 2009
IDSP created its resource base by designing a program of Continuing medical
education for community midwives from Balochistan and Sindh.
Finally, in 2012 the midwifery leadership program model was completed. In the last
eight years, IDSP has raised its resources by training more than 300 young girls in
community-based midwifery. The People’s Primary Health Initiative (PPHI) is the
IDSP’s partner in training their LHVs. The MNCH government of Balochistan provides
lists of its CMWS who needs Continued Medical Education.
In 2019 IDSP sold its Quetta city office building as IDSP had shifted to its UCD campus
in Hanna. Once again IDSP followed its value and ethics prevail while selling its
property. IDSP sold its property of the city center in Quetta to the same previous owner
it was purchased from. Although, IDSP was getting more from a builder, who wanted
to demolish the building and sell the land or make apartments. While the building was
built with a lot of loving care by the father of the young brothers who wanted to buy it
back but could not pay as much as the builder was paying. We felt it will give a lot of
pain to the family to see the family home being destroyed in front of them, and being
replaced with apartments. IDSP did not want to be the creator of this pain to a family
who wanted to protect their father and grandfather’s heritage and traditions. The funds
received from the sale of the building is invested in endowment for UCD.
Sheep farming, this project is also based on the indigenous resource of sheep farming
with local Shepherd. IDSP is in the process of assessing its value, profit and loss.
Fashion Designing Business, for Four years 15 young women from six districts of
Balochistan got trained as businesswomen, and started their businesses, this project
gave extraordinary recognition and value to IDSP’s learning spaces for women. Thus
it helped IDSP for further credibility at all levels of social, economic, and government
and community levels.
In 2012 the Give2Asia’s board approved IDSP as a member of its 501 tax-deductible
programs for nonprofit’s fundraising in the USA. This was a great outcome after years
of efforts to engage funding sources in the USA, to join the fundraising program of
Give2Asia in the USA. This gave a great breakthrough to IDSP to launch its fundraising
campaign and give promotional talks on IDSP’s mission to donors and financial
supporters across the USA. Its special focus has been on Pakistanis living in the USA.
Approx. 100 to 200 individual philanthropists individuals donate or sponsors IDSP’s
individual graduate’s projects and further education or any other related support
required since IDSP and Give2asia are raising funds from Individual philanthropy and
organizations for IDSP’s programs and institutional building initiatives.
The certification by the Pakistan Center of Philanthropy (PCP) is fundamental in
Government approvals to raise funds and allow tax exemptions.
With the above resource mobilization methods, IDSP has ensured its sustainability as
well as it is now prepared to launch its University of Community Development, as
agreed with the government of Balochistan. A journey of 22 years with the values of
trust, conviction and a mission by the young people of Pakistan with the majority from
Balochistan, IDSP is well-rooted in its journey of financial sustainability with its yearly
budget of three to five corer rupees.
Note: IDSP’s audit report is available on request by appropriate
authorities/organizations.

The construction of a new Admin Block at IDSP’s University of Community

Development Campus:
IDSP has initiated the construction of a new admin block at IDSP’s University of
Community Development campus at Hanna Quetta. According to local architecture,
locally available mud is being used to build the walls of the building. The building
includes a section for administration, a waiting room for guests, a meeting room, and
a media room. The construction of Admin Block is financially supported by the Infaq
Foundation based in Karachi. Infaq Foundation’s support with IDSP has continued
since 2003. We are deeply grateful to Infaq Foundation for this unconditional and non-
stop support in building IDSP’s infrastructure.
Installation of Tube-well for the domestic purpose at IDSP’s University of
Community Development Campus:
IDSP has installed a tube well for domestic purposes at IDSP's University of
Community Development Campus in Hana, Quetta. The purpose behind the
installation of the tube well is to meet the water requirements of the IDSP's hostels
where learners from all over the country come for courses.
IDSP is well aware of the effects of installing tube wells on the underground water
table. That is why IDSP was buying water from outside to meet its domestic needs for
the last thirteen years. Now as the number of learners in the courses is increasing day
by day and learners coming from remote areas need accommodation in IDSP hostels
where water is a basic and essential requirement for the hostel residents. Therefore,
IDSP with the financial support of some very kind philanthropists has initiated a tube-
well at the UCD campus. After drilling for some depth with the financial support of
individual philanthropists including Mr. Darya Khan (the Graduate of 2003’s
Development Studies course), Ms. Zahida Farooq, Ms. Shaan Bakhteari, Dr. Vicki
Mattice, Mrs. Saba Jabbar, Ms. Nighat Bakhteari and Ms. Afia Salam, the drilling
machine could not drill any further due to hard rocks being encountered. At this stage,
IDSP required more funds to complete the remaining work of drilling and tube well
installation. Dr. Ali Hazratji who got oriented about the issue in a meeting with the
founding director IDSP and got very convinced on IDSP’s vision has restarted the
drilling work with the heavy machine by engaging his organization “Human Necessity
Foundation”. Within two months a complete source of water has been established
along with the provision and installation of the solar water pump, pipes, and an
advanced solar system. Besides these, the roof of an already constructed water tank
for storing the pure drinking water and a separate room for the management of entire
water systems have been constructed at the UCD campus.

Learning from People and Communities

Duration: January to December 2019
Number of Learners Engaged: 09
Gender: Male 09 only
IDSP's University of Community Development organized a one-year residential course
in 2019 entitled "Learning from People and Communities" based on the paper
“Learning from People by Dr. Quratulain Bakhteari 2006”. The course was designed
and conducted by the senior faculty of IDSP and attended by learners between the
ages of 20 and 35 from the province of Balochistan and Sindh.
The course aimed to create a group of young community leaders who are capable of
critically understanding, analyzing and effectively approaching development
challenges while applying holistic strategies and leadership skills. The learners of the
course were engaged in the critical inquiry and observation of diverse socio-economic
and political contexts at the community level to generate people-centered dialogues
and discourses for informing development approaches, frameworks and policies. It
was also thought that the results and insights of the course would be utilized to re-set
the future direction of IDSP based on people’s views and perspectives on
development, life, power structures and political systems.
 At the end of the course, a learning conference was organized in which IDSP’s
graduates, board members, faculty, and learners participated to analyze the
outcomes of the course. It was learned that the course had resulted in a very
obvious improvement in the learner’s self-growth, professional progression,
leadership skills, and understanding of the social, political, and developmental
systems. The participants of the conference have found the following
transformation in the learners of the course. Inner blocks, perceptions, and
stereotypes got challenged
 Professional skills improved
 Perceptions about family got changed and understood family in the border
social context
 Understood the gender issues at family and community level and the learners
have interacted with women for the first time as an equal person/counterpart
in the family.
 A sense of community developed and perspectives on development got
diversified
 Consciousness about pathological aspects of the society and stereotypes
about other cultural groups got changed
 A list of recommendations, principles, and indicators for future courses is one

of the outcomes.
 A new phase of learning from the people and communities (Second Phase) has
been designed as an outcome of the first phase.
 Last but not least, the course helped usher in a list of tangible recommendations
for future courses and institutional direction.
Continuing Medical Education for Community Midwives

Duration: July 2019 to June 2020
Gender: Female 38
Balochistan’s maternal and infant mortality rates are the highest in the country and
region. To reduce mortality rates, a good number of certified community midwives exist
but a majority of them are unable to practice the midwifery profession due to a lack of
practical experience, confidence, and required knowledge and skills. To develop
professionally skilled, self-confident, and capable human resource, IDSP launched the
Continuing Medical Education Course 10 years back (in 2009). In this course, certified
community midwives are trained in the theory and practice of midwifery at Qatar
Hospital Karachi.
In 2019 IDSP trained 38 midwives. During the course, each midwife was helped and
supervised in conducting over 50 deliveries in the labour room of Qatar Hospital. This
intensive labour room’s practices unleashed their confidence by overcoming their fear
of touching a mother in the labour room and going through the whole process of
childbirth at home all alone on her own in the remote communities of Balochistan. The

Midwifery Leadership in Community Development (MLCD)

Duration: December 2019 to December 2020
Gender: Female 13
CMWs are the backbone of the health care system, especially in the context of
Balochistan’s remote and far-flung areas, where no medical help is available in case
of antenatal, delivery, or postnatal emergency. This critical and serious need and
challenge make the effective services of CMW inevitable for saving mothers, infants
and children. However, CMWs can be efficient and effective only if they are well
equipped with professional skills and knowledge of their field. The idea of IDSP’s
Midwifery Leadership in Community Development is based on this belief and its focus
is to empower CMWs and refresh their professional and leadership skills in community
health care. 13 CMW’s were enrolled in the course while 2 of them discontinued the
course during the Coronavirus Lockdown.
Three modules have been delivered since Jan, including social mapping, ANC & PNC
and COVID-19). The course activities at the IDSP campus were stopped due to the
COVID-19, while CMWs proceeded with their community-based activities to address
the effects of COVID-19 and to provide health care services to mothers, newborns,
children and community members. Due to the closure of public hospitals, clinics and
all other health facilities, these midwives were the only source of providing health care
services. The following chart provides details of their activities and services in the
community. IDSP has enrolled 13 midwives from 7 districts of Balochistan for the said
course. These midwives are going through different modules on maternal and
newborn healthcare, community health and communicable diseases such as
Tuberculosis (TB), Hepatitis B and C, malaria, HIV AIDS, Lactation, Fistula and so on.
Every month, weekly training on one of the modules is designed and delivered by
experienced professionals and doctors from different health institutes.
The weekly training sessions in every month are followed by a practice-based phase
of 3 weeks by midwives at the community level with the assistance of IDSP’s faculty
and the trainers. Each of the CMW/fellows is bound to transfer her newly gained
knowledge and skills to 5 more health workers or midwives of her district. Thus overall
55 health-related H.R including midwives, LHVs and LHWs will be trained by these 11
CMWs.

(CBT&A) with the support of (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale
Zusammenarbeit) known as GIZ, the TVET Sector Support Programme, funded by the
European Union, the Federal Republic of Germany and the Royal Norwegian
Embassy. These courses were organized in collaboration with the National Vocational
and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC), Trade Testing Board, and several
partner-enterprises/ organizations. IDSP selected the trade of "Information
Technology" which is registered with the Trade Testing Board (TTB) of Balochistan.
The courses included I.T Office Assistant, I.T AutoCAD, and I.T Computer Operators.
Besides this, IDSP delivered the Life Skills sessions once a week to help the learners
in overcoming their personality and attitudinal issues. The purpose of the mentioned
courses was to develop competent human resources who could meet the needs of the
labor market and ensure 75% employment or self-employment after the course.
 IDSP engaged ten enterprises and business industry associations as partners and
enrolled 61 learners, including 22 women and 39 men to the courses as per their
requirement.
 These courses were comprised of two major phases including “institute-based
training for four months” and “workplace-based training” for two months. These
phases further contained some concrete steps including.
(I). Identification of partner enterprises/ business industry associations
(II). Need assessment of PEs/BIAs
(III). Enrolment of learners according to the demands of PEs/BIAs,
(IV). Registration with Qualification Awarding Body (QAB),
(V). Institute based training,
(VI). Modular assessment of learners by trainers & PEs,
(VII). On the job training or workplace-based training,
(VIII). Integrated/ final assessment of learners by Trade Testing Board through
engaging the National Assessors,
(IX). Job placement and
(X). Certification of competent learners.

 TTB organized the final assessment of IDSP’s learners. 58 learners out of 61
learners appeared in the final assessment and 55 learners cleared their final
assessment and got competent by the TTB.
 As a result of the course, 75% of employment and self-employment have been
ensured.
 To protect the learners from the deadly communicable disease of Hepatitis, IDSP
conducted the test of hepatitis B and C for all learners that were followed by regular
vaccination of hepatitis B.
 The AutoCAD course learners are now capable to create 2D and 3D drawings in
the AutoCAD software. They can easily produce illustrations ranging from concept
plans to cinematic-quality animations, which architects, engineers, drafters, artists,
production staff, managers and customers use to visualize structures, machines
and environments.
 IDSP graduates of the Information Technology (Computer Operator) course are
good at monitoring and controlling computer systems in a company or organization.
They can easily handle software and hardware issues, maintaining and improving
system performance and usability. They can help people with documentation and
data management.
 The graduates of the IDSP ICT-Office Assistant course are capable of efficiently
dealing with Accounts, Inventory, Human Resource Management and general
administration related problems of an office. They are employable for IT-Business
offices where they can provide sufficient assistance to their supervisors in common
business processes and functional areas.
 The “Life Skills" sessions and practices helped learners to improve their attitudes
in addition to their knowledge and skills. The result of these efforts can be seen in
the form of confidence, fearlessness, activism, passion and determination of the
learners. According to the officials of the partner enterprise and business, IDSP’s
learners, and especially women learners are significantly more determined,
confident, fearless and dynamic than learners in all other institutions in Balochistan.
IDSP’s Filmmaking School for Change

Film and Documentary Making Courses
Duration: February 2020 to June 2020
Gender: Male 13
In the year 2020, the IDSP Filmmaking School organized two filmmaking courses for
the youths in Balochistan, in which young people from different walks of life
participated. The first course was organized in collaboration with IDSP’s graduate of
2013 filmmaking Course, Mr. Izhar-ul-Haq's organization “Liberal Arts” at IDSP’s
University of Community Development campus, on 10th February 2020 and continued
till 18th March 2020, with 5 learners from district Kech, Nushki, Kalat, and Quetta of
Balochistan. The second course was held online during the lockdown period from 10th
May to 10th June 2020, with 8 learners from District Khuzdar, Kech, Quetta, Sibi, and
Surab/ Sikandarabad. It has been prioritized to facilitate the learners with maximum
concentration on their idea development, as well as their skills of production, direction,
camera work, audio operation, visual storytelling, and editing. The learners have
worked together and created documentaries around their ideas in the context of given
themes which include human rights, non-violence, gender equality, environment, and
religious/ethnic dialogue to promote diversity. The course helped learners to learn
basic research, the whole steps and processes of documentary/ short film, and ways
to not only highlight social dimensions, strengths and issues of their communities
through film and documentary, but also to convey their message to people at a mass
level. The graduate learners have started earning money from this profession by
working in various media groups and channels. One of the learners from Turbat,
District Ketch is now working as a cameraman with the VSH News Channel. Another
learner has created a YouTube channel to upload videos about issues and strengths
in their area. The rest of the graduate learners spread their message to the masses
by sharing their films and photography on social media platforms. This allows the
people living in other parts of the country to see and understand Balochistan through
the lens of their native representatives rather than through the lens of mainstream
media groups which often propagate and represent Balochistan very negatively.
Collaboration with Asia Peace Film Festival 2019 (Quetta Addition)
In October 2019, IDSP Film School collaborated with Asia Peace Film Festival in
organizing the Asia Peace Film Festival Quetta Edition 2019 at Balochistan University
of Information Technology Engineering & Management Sciences (BUITEMS). A large
number of diverse audiences including legendary filmmakers, artists, animators,
performers, media wizards, parliamentarians, academics, peace activists, and
dynamic students of cinematography from all over the Asia and international creative
community have been hosted. IDSP led the discussion session about the 'Filmmaking
for Change' where the IDSP’s filmmakers presented their stories. The Founding
Director of IDSP, Dr. Quratulain Bakhteari participated in the session to represent
IDSP.
The stories shared by IDSP’s filmmakers gave a different perspective to the people
and it emphasized that Balochistan has the strengths and potential to produce good
quality human resources in the field of film and documentary. Through this film festival,
a dialogue started for the first time in Balochistan on the need and importance of
filmmaking. Representatives from various walks of life took part in the dialogue and
saw the film as a tool for the development and positive change of Balochistan.
Educational Support Program for Girls in Balochistan

Duration: January 2019 to December 2020
Gender: Female 20
IDSP, with the financial assistance of Merit Grants for Young Women (MGYW), is
sponsoring the educational cost of 20 girl students in Quetta, Balochistan. IDSP has
selected these 20 deserving girls through a formal assessment in the light of its criteria
and started facilitating them. These girls were unable to afford their education, as some
of them come from economically weak families, while others are orphans.
The main purpose of this sponsorship is to help the girls who want to continue their
education but are unable to do so due to financial challenges. This sponsorship helps
them to continue education without being considered as an economic burden on their
parents or relatives. The highly motivated and trained team of IDSP under the
leadership of Ms. Razia Kareem regularly meets with the parents/ relatives/ caretakers
of these girls and also visits the schools where they are enrolled, to find out the
progress and challenges of the girls from the principals and teachers of the schools
and takes necessary steps to address these challenges so that these girls can receive
timely help. This sponsorship has provided courage and support to the motivated
struggling girls who committed to continue their education. Besides, this financial
support will improve the girl’s continuing of their education in Balochistan.

Chinese Language Course

Duration: August 2019 to January 2020
Gender: Male 4
China is sponsoring the China Pakistan Economic Corridors (CPEC) a mega-project
that is expected to build infrastructure and create hundreds of thousands of jobs across
Pakistan. Pakistan needs skilled labour proficient in the Chinese language
Keeping in view the growing importance of the Chinese language, the Government of
Balochistan is encouraging public and private initiatives for promoting the Chinese
Language. IDSP Pakistan is also trying to create opportunities for the youths of
Balochistan. In this connection, IDSP has conducted two courses on the Chinese
Language. Initially, it partnered with the National University of Modern Languages
(NUML) in designing and implementing a Chinese Language course. The course was
successfully attended by 10 learners. Later on, the same course was replicated by one
of IDSP graduates at IDSP’s University of Community Development. The course was
completed by graduating 4 young people from Balochistan.

IDSP’s Efforts and Initiatives during the COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic broke out in the Wuhan City of China but spread throughout
the globe with an alarming speed, infecting over 15 million and killing around a million
people. To stop the spread of the coronavirus, countries had to impose lockdowns
which brought economic activity to a standstill. Millions of people lost their jobs where
millions of others who depended on daily wages faced an acute shortage of food
across the world. Being one of the most populated and poorest countries, Pakistan
was among the worst affected countries.
The crisis called for highlight the need for immediate action to address the health and
economic damages caused by the epidemic, protect vulnerable populations, and pave
the way for long-term rehabilitation. The key lesson learned was that a collaborative
and inclusive approach is needed involving all stakeholders including governments,
NGOs, private enterprises and communities to not only survive during COVID19 but
also to thrive in it. With this lesson in mind, IDSP started playing its role to help and
protect the people of Balochistan and its frontline defenders including doctors and
paramedics by involving a network of midwives, fellows, graduates, and associates,
who have been nurtured since the inception of IDSP.
Community Education and Awareness Sessions

Before the operations, IDSP educated its network of volunteers, including midwives,
fellows, graduates, and associates, about the COVID 19, basic safety practices and
measures and SOPs, so that they could avoid getting infected with the virus. Besides,
these volunteers have carried out a series of orientations and provided basic
information, coping strategies, and awareness to 5,000 families in Balochistan
Province. Among them, IDSP has formed a volunteer group called "Community Based
Focal Person (CBFP)" which has entered into agreements with IDSP to provide
transparent services to the target families and health facilities in their respective
districts. IDSP with the help of its volunteers has maintained its operations in 25
districts of Balochistan, including distributing food packages to deserving families,
providing PPE kits to doctors and paramedics, and much more.
Supporting the Poorest of the Poor

Although governments around the world have experienced economic challenges due
to the spread of the corona-virus and the ensuing lockdown, the effects have been
even more severe in countries such as Pakistan, where the poverty level is already
high, and a significant part of the population is engaged in the informal economy. In
Balochistan, the restriction on movement and transportation, closure of businesses,
ban on construction work and consequent un-employment of daily wagers, closure of
mining and resulting unemployment, the closure of the borders with Iran and
Afghanistan and the consequent cessation of informal business activities, etc., caused
great economic trouble to the people. Many hardworking people worked hard and used
to earn bread for the family, but now that they were at home, they were facing difficulty
in supporting their siblings. Despite the economic hardship, they could not ask anyone
for help. Therefore, IDSP through its volunteers collected information of deserving
families from 25 districts of Balochistan and started mobilizing resources for them.
Philanthropists from around the world have contributed and helped the IDSP to provide
food packages to 1311 families in 25 districts of Balochistan. As a result, 13,000
people from the above families benefited.
Safeguarding those who were safeguarding people

In April, when the number of corona cases suddenly increased in different cities of
Pakistan, the number of patients in hospitals increased. Due to which doctors and
paramedical staff in different hospitals in the country also started to be affected, and
some of them have died too. As a result, panic spread among the doctors and
paramedical staff, and the demand for safety facilities and measures from health care
providers began to increase, which was their basic right. IDSP has raised resources
to support the health care providers in the Provincial capital and Districts of
Balochistan. IDSP has concentrated on the District Headquarter Hospitals, to assess
their needs for safety equipment. We came to know that there is a crucial need for
PPE kits in the district headquarters hospitals. IDSP has provided items include 2925
PPE KITS, 2220 Masks, 20 Face Shield, 80 N95 Masks and 50 gloves packages to
the district headquarters hospitals of 25 districts in collaboration with various valuable
philanthropists.

Community Health Care for Protecting Mothers, Newborns, Children

With the announcement of the lockdown, life in Pakistan and especially in Balochistan
became paralyzed. OPDs were banned in government hospitals and private hospitals
were closed. The situation has caused great inconvenience to patients with common
ailments. The situation has caused great distress to patients with common diseases
and especially to mothers, pregnant women, children, breastfeeding mothers, and
elder women. The IDSP’s community midwives started visiting families in their
respective communities to provide health services on the doorstep. IDSP Community
Midwives visited families in their respective communities to provide healthcare
services to mothers, pregnant women, children, breastfeeding mothers, and elderly
women at their doorsteps. Three hundred communities have supported this activism.
The Wellbeing of Doctors and Paramedics

The Coronavirus epidemic, which has affected millions of people around the world,
and the number of deaths has increased over time. Especially when it began to affect
people who are considered to be the front line defenders against the epidemic, such
as doctors and other medical staff, it has increased fear and anxiety everywhere. In
this situation, the IDSP, at the request of the Balochistan Health Department, has
conducted three days’ workshop on stress management for doctors and paramedics
who are engaged as the front-line defenders for the prevention of epidemic virus and
treatment of affected people.
The workshop was attended by 90 doctors and paramedical staff. According to the
management of the respective hospitals, this workshop has significantly reduced the
level of stress among the doctors, and with each passing day, doctors and paramedics
are emerging with passion, courage, and enthusiasm. Besides, doctors are no longer
afraid of their duties. In view of the results of this workshop, IDSP in collaboration with
the Government of Balochistan Health Department is going to organize online training
for doctors and paramedical staff in the remaining districts of Balochistan.
Refreshing & Re-energizing Corner for Doctors and Paramedics

In view of the pandemic, the IDSP has set up a comforting and re-energizing corner
inside the Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Hospital in Quetta, Balochistan to alleviate the
mental fatigue, stress, and exhaustion of the doctors and paramedical staff who serve
as front-line defenders in the wake of COVID-19. A Memorandum of Understanding
(MoU) with the Government of Balochistan Health Department has been signed in this
regard. The R&R Corner will have a library with some interesting books, a tea and
coffee corner, indoor sports, exercise and yoga facilities, and comfortable sofas and
chairs where doctors and paramedics can relax during the break time.
