 PROGRESS REPORT UPDATED ON May 10th , 2010

 

 

1.       PILOT PROJECTS:

SBBHC launched two pilot projects in order to gain experience and to avoid the mistakes of previous failed projects like the Junejo Housing Scheme. 

The First Project consists of 500 energy-efficient, cyclone-resistant houses on the coastal belt of Thatta, Badin and Karachi. The project is almost complete and the technology developed in collaboration with UNDP received international recognition as Benazir Housing Technology during the Global South-South Development Expo held in Washington DC from 14 to 17 December 2009.

Ownership documents and keys of houses have been delivered to female heads of poorest of the poor families in impressive ceremonies by dignified personalities like the President of Pakistan and Speaker National Assembly. 

The Second Pilot Project consists of 200 houses in the upper Sindh districts of Larkana, Jacobabad, Sukkur, Shikarpur and Khairpur. 40 poorest families were selected through poverty score-card prepared by SRSO in selected UCs of each of the five districts. All 200 houses have been completed.

Lessons Learnt From Pilot Projects:

Experimentation with pilot projects helped SBBHC devise transparent mechanism and effective policies for making houses for poorest of the poor. Some of the decisions taken after seeing the results of pilot projects are:

1-        Each house consists of two rooms, WC and Veranda.

2-        Houses are built by through active involvement of community. 

3-        Clusters of houses are being built in remote rural areas and each cluster is called Behan Benazir Basti. 

4-        Cheques are issued in installments to the beneficiaries, who are encouraged to build their own houses. 

5-        Houses are built on the beneficiaries’ own land or on the land where they have been living since generations. 

6-        In the first phase, about 500 Behan Benazir Bastis consisting of about 10,000 houses have been launched to be completed within one year. 

7-        Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) have been selected through SPPRA rules for each district to manage and supervise the construction of houses according to specifications.

2.       CONSTRUCTION OF 10,000 HOUSES (BEHN BENAZIR BASTIS) IN RURAL AREAS OF SINDH PROVICE:

        Background

            According to the policy for rural areas, low cost houses for poorest of the poor comprising two-rooms, veranda, kitchen and W.C. shall be built on the beneficiaries’ own land or land where the family has been living for generations. Grant for construction is given to the beneficiaries, preferably females, in installments. Civil Society Organizations are selected through SPPRA Rules, to supervise construction by qualified engineers.

Progress

*   Work on the above strategy was started in village Januji, Deh Salepat, District Sukkur on 5.1.2010 and all 91 houses in the village shall be completed by 15.4.2010.
