Community Mobilization for Sustainable Development (Mohmand Agency FATA)
1st May 2010 To 31st July 2010

Socio Economic conditions of FATA had been partly a result of the detachment of common people from the development process. The common people always remained on a side from the planning and development activities. The situation was aggravated by the absence of voting right for common adults in the area till very recent times. To involve the common people of the villages in matters of their area, FRD proposed to form community organizations on gross root level and build their capacity for linkages development with various line agencies and capacitate them with skills required for participatory development in their areas. FATA capacity Building project (FATA-CBP funded by USAID) funded the project. 15 community organizations were formed in various villages of the far flung tehsil of Prang Ghar of Mohmand Agency. After formation of community organizations regular meetings were held with the members of community organizations to provide them orientation on how to take collective steps for their collective development. Each community organization’s representatives/office bearers were also provided class room trainings on social mobilization cycle and project cycle management, Book keeping and record management of CBOs and Disaster Risk Management. The new graduates of these trainings helped a lot in rescue and relief activities in monsoon floods of 2010. ( The training was completed on 24th July, and floods reached Charsadda on 27th July, In addition to rescue and relief activities these activists provided valuable services in rapid need assessments for FRD and planning its relief activities.
