Pakistan officially joined CAREC in 2010 and has made some progress in trade facilitation, such as signing transit agreements. However, significant challenges remain. Shipments from Karachi to Kabul or Kandahar require mandatory escorts and convoys, and customs clearance at border crossings takes 24-48 hours. The limited rail infrastructure and lack of coordination between transport authorities also hinder trade. Monitoring of shipments in 2013 found high port dwell times in Karachi of 6-8 days and similar costs for clearances of $200-300 at border crossings, despite the northern route being much longer. Future monitoring will examine the Karakoram Highway and shipments from Gwadar port.

1. Project Background
The Foundation for Integrated Development Action (FIDA) is implementing a project named
Physical Infrastructure-Livelihood Strengthening Program (CPI-LSP) with the support of Federal
Foreign Office (FFO), German Embassy. The beneficiaries of this project are based in the districts
of Dera Ismail Khan and Chitral. Overall 10 union councils (9 UCs of D.I. Khan and 1UC of Chitral)
are benefiting from this project. The main components of (CPI-LSP) are: 16 small community
physical infrastructure schemes; alternative energy through construction of 200 biogas plants
and 6 solar pumps; livelihood development through vocational skill trainings for 100 men and
women, establishing 3 centers for reviving local embroidery and craftwork for women home-
based workers, trainings for master skill trainers and honey bee hives to 75 women to start their
own enterprise. The project builds the capacity of 575 households through natural resource
management activities and skill trainings.
Under this project, IRM collaborated with FIDA to undertake trainings on Enterprise
Development Training (EDT) and courses on four vocational trades. For the purpose of trainings
and courses, IRM conducted screening of the participants. After the screening, IRM conducted
three (03) events – of five days each on EDT from October 14 – 31, 2014 in Chitral and DI Khan.
The trainings were imparted to 75 participants from both of the districts. In next phase, after
completion of EDT training program, IRM conducted four courses consisting of one month on
different vocational trades from November 14, 2014 to December 13, 2014. The courses were
organized at the IRM’s Vocational, Technical and Educational Center in Rawalpindi. A total of 50
participants from the Chitral region attended these courses.
Objectives
• Involvement of local community in development process at village level
• Improvement and rehabilitation of small Infrastructure schemes
• Provision of alternative energy sources for local community
• Socio economic empowerment through vocational-skills training programs for men and
women
• Enhancement (already existing) business of local community
Introduction of the Implementation partners
1. Federal Foreign Office (FFO) German Embassy
In 1970, the foundation stone for both the Chancery and the Ambassador's Residence was laid
by former Ambassador Norbert Berger. The buildings were inaugurated in 1972. The Embassy is
located within the "Diplomatic Enclave" - close to buildings of the Pakistani government.
Development cooperation between Pakistan and Germany: Development cooperation
between Pakistan and Germany goes back to 1961, with the funding volume to date total some
2.5 billion Euros. Pakistan was thus one of Germany's first partner countries. The regional
focus of this cooperation has traditionally been the north-western part of the country. Germany

9. COMPLETION REPORT
is one of the few donors to have its own implementing structures. It is active in Khyber-
Pakhtunkhwa Province (KP) and is one of only a few of Pakistan's partners to be implementing
measures in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) along the border with Afghanistan.
Individual measures are also carried out in Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Jammu Kashmir and the Punjab.
Projects funded by the Federal Foreign Office: Whereas most of the cooperation programmes
are funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and
implemented by German organizations such as GIZ or KfW, there are various individual projects
implemented by Pakistani organizations which are funded directly by the Federal Foreign Office.
Germany supports community-based stabilization and multisectoral livelihood programme:
On 3 May 2013, Ambassador Dr. Cyrill Nunn signed an agreement with Foundation for
Integrated Development Action (FIDA) over 555,000 Euro (approx. 70 million PKR).
The project aim is to develop community physical infrastructure, the capacity of local
communities through trainings and providing livelihood packages to diversify their incomes to
improve the standards of living and alleviate the poverty.
2. Introduction of FIDA
The Foundation for Integrated Development Action (FIDA) was founded in 2004 by Faiysal Ali
Khan and his grandfather, the late Brigadier Sadiq Nawaz Khan Awan in response to the years of
government neglect and resulting human suffering in Dera Ismail Khan and its surrounding areas
in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The district was chosen as a starting point for the
founders to give something back to their ancestral homeland, but also because of its multi-
ethnic, multi-linguistic composition and its location as a crossroads neighbored by Punjab,
Balochistan and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). These factors made the area a
challenging, yet deserving, place to begin development work. FIDA has now expanded its work
across Khyber Pukhtunkhwa and South Waziristan Agency in FATA and works with a wide variety
of donors, partners and communities.
FIDA began work over 10 years ago in Dera Ismail Khan and Tank in Khyber Pukhtunkhwa (KP).
Since then, FIDA's geographic reach has expanded to South Waziristan in the Federally
Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan and other districts of KP, including Lakki, Bannu, Karak,
Kohat and Chitral. Taking a long-term approach to development and social change in this region,
FIDA aims to act as a bridge between traditional and modern systems of governance and
society. While operating conceptually on an 80 to 120 year timeline, FIDA works towards its
long-term objectives in measurable 5-year blocks.
Cooperations and Facilitation: One of the key elements in FIDA's approach to development is
cooperation. An integral part of this cooperation includes partnerships with donor agencies and
other NGOs. It is FIDA’s belief that sharing of resources, knowledge and expertise will lead to a
more efficient and sustainable system of development. FIDA has therefore positioned itself as
an entry point for organizations wishing to do work in the districts of operations. This is a
significant role in areas where a major challenge of development lies in establishing
relationships, trust and credibility. FIDA has already established these critical elements and can
5 Institute of Rural Management
10. COMPLETION REPORT
provide the resources and access needed to implement development projects. In an attempt to
reach as many people as possible, FIDA works with a wide variety of communities and groups
throughout the region. FIDA also works to create links and partnerships with neighboring
districts, in order to strengthen and replicate the work that is being done.
Long term vision: A cornerstone of FIDA’s existence has been a long term approach to
development. Therefore, the first five years of operation were viewed as a “research and
development” period, allowing time in the field to understand the traditional mechanisms,
structures and cultures of the areas, as well as the development needs of the
communities. Building meaningful relationships and maintaining integrity of process are
imperative when working in areas that are often hostile to NGOs, suspicious of outsiders and
vulnerable to security issues.
This strategy enabled FIDA to respond quickly and effectively to the displacement caused by
military operations in South Waziristan in 2009, acting as the sole implementing partner for the
Provincial Government, UNHCR and others and assisting over 270,000 individuals. FIDA
continued this emergency relief and rehabilitation work with the displaced communities and did
so again after the unprecedented floods that occurred in 2010 and 2011.
Holistic Approach: FIDA believes in a multi-sector, community-driven approach to development.
Rather than dealing with single issues in isolation, FIDA formulates comprehensive strategies
that help communities address with their concerns holistically. FIDA also works to build and
strengthen the capacity of Community Organizations (COs) and Village Organizations (VOs),
thereby creating social transformation this is meaningful and sustainable.
Vision: A society built around good governance and democratic ideals, supported by a sound
economy and a sustainable use of resources.
Mission: To mobilize and build the capacity of existing political and social structures and to act
as a link between civil society and marginalized communities, thereby empowering all
stakeholders to achieve their identified development goals in a sustainable and replicable
manner.
