CONTEXT AND INTRODUCTION

Integrated Rural Uplift Programme

Integrated Rural Uplift Programme (IRUP) is a Non-Profit Organization established with the
aim to help in improving the quality of life of rural communities through participatory
approaches by including them in project cycle management.

IRUP did not come into existence suddenly. The aim of establishing a non-communal, non-
political development organization having acceptance in the communities didn’t come
suddenly rather the motives behind this concept was the volunteer spirit of its members
who always wanted to work for the betterment of their native land. The socioeconomic
conditions of rural dwellers and deplorable state of the social services, lack of basic
amenities and poor infrastructure constantly instigated us to materialize this thought. It was
conceived that a local organization which could serve the poor people without any
discrimination is needed. To reach this mark and achieving the objective, series of individual
interactions, idea sharing, meetings and dialogues were carried out. The formation of IRUP is
fruit of these constant efforts and the organization came to existence in January, 2010 and
registered with Registrar of joint stock Companies in March, 2012 with the slogan “Serve the
Humanity” without any discrimination.

IRUP believes to work as a catalyst in building the capacities of rural communities, facilitate
in linkages development to undertake poverty reduction and social uplift initiatives through
community participation in rural areas.

IRUP facilitates the organizations at village level problems identification, resource

identification & mobilization, needs prioritization, participatory planning and village
profiling. The Village Development Documents (VDD) is a useful tool of the organization not
only highlighting village level problems and issues rather it provide a broader knowledge of
what, why, by whom and how can be done. 15 VDD are prepared by the IRUP while 3 UC
level Need Documents prepared by IRUP to prioritize needs by the communities themselves.
This is an ongoing process without any external support.

Very soon the organization was able to catch the attention of communities as well as some
donor organizations. The landmark success was achieved when in 2011 the organization was
selected as Implementing partner for a multi donor funded project. IRUP was tasked to
undertake social mobilization assignments and also monitor and ensure community
participation in the donor funded drinking water supply and sanitation schemes in Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa.

It is always hard for local organization to carry out pro-community activities without having
some projects but IRUP continued with its some low intensity activities. IRUP believes in
community development through awareness and education and for the purpose carry out
particular activities to aware communities and provide them basic & necessary information
regarding different rural sectors and social services.

From the very day of its inception IRUP started its activities with the support of its own
members. The first step taken to establish a Free Tuition center for needy and deserving

water sector to introduce and promote community participated drinking water supply
management initiatives with the collaboration of the concern line department(s) to
strengthen the government existing DWS mechanism. Through this program the target

any moment to highlight this sector and aware the masses. In these respect seminars, talks
and awareness workshops and walks have been conducted. School Environmental Education
is an important component of IRUP, which doesn’t need any external funding to remain

Change to highlight deforestation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Northern Areas.

 IRUP also celebrate international days related to different occasion.

Women Development / Empowerment:

Women Empowerment aims at promotion

women to take lead role in democratic
norms and culture in the operational area.
Two types of activities are undertaken in this
theme: one aim at building capacities of
women and communities and their groups to
engage effectively with government and
other stakeholders for getting their
constitutional and legal social, economic and
political rights, the other aims at working
directly with state institutions for creating an
environment that can guarantee the rights of
women citizens.

It also focuses on enhancing women income generation skills through capacity building and
micro credit. IRUP has never neglected the important folk in rural of areas, Women and
believe that unless women are not included in the mainstream development would remain a
dream and realizing the fact IRUP give profound attention towards women development.
IRUP facilitated Two sewing centers in different village in providing vocational training to
needy girls. Up to now both the organizations trained 21 women and now they earn
handsome amount every month contributing in economic uplift of their families.
`

Youth and Culture:

IRUP arrange youth seminar, youth
workshops for awareness and education of
youth folk. Sports and cultural event are
decent way to engage youth in healthy
activities which are organized by IRUP on
different occasions.

Micro-Credit:
IRUP through its own source started small loans to 3 identified needy individuals. This was a
pilot project developed in the line with NRSP’s new credit model. The initial amount
reserved for this activity was Rs. 30000/- while now it is 70000/- rupees and beneficiaries are
5 individual. Now the loaning limit is twenty thousand rupees which is disbursed through the
concern CO and recovery is also the responsibility of that particular organization.

Agriculture & Livestock:

Agriculture is the back bone of rural

economy and the rural dwellers derive their
income mostly from agriculture, livestock
and poultry sectors. IRUP facilitated few of
its COs to get schemes for the improvement
of irrigation channels from the Water
Management department. Initial stages the
WM department was not willing to include
COs in their program.

To highlight the importance of communities involvement in the schemes implementations

IRUP arranged two consultative workshops, the one chaired by DCO which asked the
department to include COs as water management committees and approve their scheme.
Consequently WM department approved 4-5 COs schemes.

Social Safety Net:

This program aims in providing relief to needy and deserving persons. Under this banner the
organization supported 17 needy families through Cash for Food project funded by Malik
Foundation USA. This project continued for 2 years and lasted in 2012. Now again this
project is likely to start in coming year.

Soft loan is another initiative to support the communities. This program aimed in supporting
person(s) in time of need. The soft loan doesn’t have any interest and it is for 3-5 months.

Emergency:
In initial stages Emergency was not a component in IRUP’s portfolio but in 2010 floods
caused huge damage in different part of the district. Immediately IRUP managed to collect
donations from local philanthropist and distributed Rs. 2500/- each to 35 effected families of
Beioli valley. IRUP also manage to distribute food items among 150 families of Bioli valley.
This was the start point in emergency and permanently established it Emergency
component. 11 volunteers of IRUP got trained in emergency operations from different relief
organizations.
`

As implementing partner of CESSD project (CIDA and AusAid funded), IRUP was mainly
responsible to mobilize and organize local communities for the rehabilitation of flood
