Executive summaryI received very good direction from Ms. Shamshad Kousar (MAS), Mr. Sajjad Ali, Mr. Muhammad Hussain,Ms. Nuzat nafees, Mr. Fazal haq and Eng. Khalid Mehboob enjoyed immense support from my colleagues.The confidence placed in me was quite motivating and the lessons learned were rewarding indeed. Peoplein other sectors also have been a big help, especially Mr. Sajjad Ali, Ms. Shamshad Kousar, Mr. Fazal Haq.To add to this, I am thankful to all the folks I met daily who beamed me bright smiles that brightened my

day.

The ADPB is community based area development programme, which has two major objectives:

a) To reduce poverty in the target areas through livelihoods improvement.

b) To develop sustainable development models for replication.

Since livelihoods in the rural areas of Balochistan are mainly dependent upon Livestock, subsistenceagriculture and water and irrigation, hence major development interventions of ADPB for livelihoods

improvement are also in these sectors. As the programme follows participatory development methodology,therefore launch of all interventions are Proceeded by community mobilization through formation ofCommunity Organizations (COs), both for male and female beneficiaries. The programme operations arebeing implemented in pre-selected Union Councils in nine districts of the province.

The programme interventions were formally launched in May2006, after a delay of five months due tocertain procedural hiccups. Community Development was the pioneering intervention and as per ourannual work plan it raised320 male and female community organizations for mobilizing about6400households, with a population of over40,000 people.

Introduction to Area Development Program Balochistan (ADPB)

Area Development Program Balochistan is a community based program of Poverty Alleviation &Sustainable Livelihoods with specific focus on rural poor. The Program is being implemented in nine uplanddistricts of Balochistan province of Pakistan namely Musakhel, Qila Saifullah, Loralai, Ziarat, Pishin, Quetta,Mastung, Kalatand Khuzdar. All these districts are located in upland Balochistan, and constitute 25% of theProvince's total land mass and 42% of the population. Within each district, valleys have been tentativelyidentified for initiating the program activities. Valleys create a natural and social grouping of villages. The

selection has been based on the criteria of poverty, small holding, weak infrastructure, poor access tosocial services, potential for integrated development and inadequate coverage by previous developmentefforts. A list of the valleys where a start was made is given below.

Overall Program Objectives are: Community mobilization and capacity building Local capital generation Improving agriculture and livestock productivity Conserving natural resources Creating income generation opportunities Improving access to market and services Facilitating access to social sector services

Strengthening women's role in developmentSince livelihoods in the rural areas of Balochistan are mainly dependent upon Livestock, subsistenceagriculture and water and irrigation, hence major development interventions of ADPB for livelihoodsimprovement are also in these sectors. As the programme follows participatory development methodology,therefore launch of all interventions are preceded by community mobilization through formation ofCommunity Organizations (COs), both for male and female beneficiaries. The programme operations arebeing implemented in pre-selected Union Councils in nine districts of the province. The main trust of theprogramme interventions is focused on improving productivity of the existing agriculture and livestocksectors in the project valleys and to scale-up their base, two activities crucial to improve livelihoods in therural areas. The total cost of annual work plan for 2008 is US$ 1,504,746, almost 40 percent over by annualwork plan of 2007, with corresponding increase in all major interventions.

LEARNING AND LIMITATION

11.1 Learning during internships

During my time with the ADPB-UNDP, I learned a lot about the status of women in the Middle East,and a host of other really interesting information. However, I also learnt the importance of initiating yourown work assignments. The ADPB-UNDP had a very horizontal way of doing things: in other words, theydid not give me many work assignments. So I had to be creative and come up with my own work projectssome of which included working with GoB and Beneficiary Communities. During my internship I found thatthe ADPB is not working only for the development of schemes but it helps the Students in a very goodmanner as well the culture of the organization is really appraisable which is maintained by the employees ofADPB. I also contributed to the development of interns profile and cataloguing system for the internsresource center at main office of ADPB-UNDP. I have learned a lot by observing my Supervisor Ms.Shamshad Kousar. Planning and being prepared is the key to achieving goals. While some may pridethemselves in staying back till late hours in the office to get the job done, by proper time management anddelegation of task, a lot of processes can be streamlined. When extra effort is required, my superiorsstayed back to lend a hand. I truly admire this Leadership by example approach. It is quite motivating.

Listening is another important skill. I always have a lot of questions and my Supervisors have always beenpatient listeners. This lent a very good rapport to our relationship, allowing me to clearly define problemsand seek advice

11.2 Limitation during internships

The limitations I faced during my tenure with ADPB-UNDP are as under

Recommendation by internee:

These are some of the suggestions by me on internship in ADPB_UNDP

The internee should be given more opportunity to work in field The internship program must be offered to a group of students which provides more

productive and competitive learning environment The concerned department of internees university should be in contact with the

internship providing organization during the internship tenure to keep a check andbalance

According to me it would be more effective internship if the student is focused on 1 or atmost 3 departments in tenure of six weeks rather than making them jack of all trades
