29 Evaluations/Assessment of RSPs Social mobilisation UNDP, 1998: An Interim Evaluation of NRSP In sum, the NRSP model is unique. It is highly responsive to community motives and aspirations within the context of community participation.. Clearly, NRSP s experiences suggest that it is feasible to unlock the productive and entrepreneurial potential of Pakistan's rural people. (page 6) World Bank, 2007: Ending Poverty in South Asia Ideas That work The average income per capita in northern Pakistan was less than one-third of the national average in By 2001 it has risen to more than half of the national average. Even though national economic growth slowed down in the 1990s the NAC [Northern Areas and Chitral] region experienced impressive growth in per capita income, showing an 84 per cent increase from 1991 to (Page 144) Pakistan s experience with Rural Support Programmes demonstrates that social mobilisation can work on a large scale even in an unfavorable climate of low growth, high poverty, weak democracy, and frequent changes of regime. (Page 137)

30 Overall RSP Evaluations = Social mobilisation HTSPE/RSPN, 2010: Assessing the Impact of RSPs Social Mobilisation in Pakistan. The RSPs have created an unparalleled network of participatory community organisations. (Page 57) RSP formation of WOs has supported wider changes in gender relations in Pakistan. It has helped: Persuade men to allow women a right to organize and meet Strengthen women s existing right to undertake independent economic activity Show women what empowerment might look like (Page 69)

31 Evaluations/Assessment of RSPs Microfinance SDPI 2009: Impact & portfolio assessment of NRSP;s Microcredit Programme in DGK NRSP has put in place all best practices in terms of efficiency, productivity, risk management and transparent financial reporting; leading to reach maximum number of clients. NRSP has also demonstrated ability to inculcate a culture of good repayment as it has kept the default at below 1%. In terms of outcomes of the programme NRSP s microcredit has shown positive results in terms of increasing incomes, generating employment, increasing women participation, improving nutrition, health and education UNDP, 2003: Pakistan National Human Development Report In terms of the comparative picture of NGOs, 68 per cent of NRSP respondents ate their fill daily and 65 per cent ate better now than earlier [before accessing credit]. (Page 93) The top performer is NRSP with 81.6 percent of its beneficiaries experiencing a sustainable increase in their income after receipt of a loan.

32 Evaluations/Assessment of RSPs Microfinance Mahmood Hassan Khan year 2000 There is a 7.5% additional increase in income over non members impact on the participating households in terms of their total and farm income., total expenditure, savings, consumer durable goods, children in school and it tends to increase with time.
