Poverty Focused Investment
Strategy for Government of Punjab
 The
Poverty Focused Investment Strategy
is one of several projects that have earned AccessConsulting
the distinction in the Development sector for its pioneering
and innovative approach. This study was unique since
for the first time a government had embarked on demand
based development planning at the district and provincial
level, to devise a pro-poor poverty alleviation strategy
as part of Millennium Development Goals (MDG) 2020.
The strategy integrates sectors of education, health,
water and sanitation, roads, rural development &
agriculture, irrigation, urban development and housing.
The project triggered an investment based development
process that provides a comprehensive framework for
social development and poverty reduction. It facilitated
the preparation of district poverty assessments, establishing
linkages between development planning and the budgetary
processes, and prompting participation of major stakeholders
and civil society institutions in the reform. This study
now forms the basis of rapid development and expansion
of public services in Punjab and is often cited as an
example of innovative demand based planning.

The Self Help Program
The Self Help Program was a USAID-funded programme through
which small grants were awarded on a nation-wide basis
to community organizations that did not have access
to donors and were privately funded locally by the inhabitants
of their localities.
A total of 68 grants were disbursed to vulnerable
and less developed communities in each province. The
program focused on the sectors of health and population,
education, roads and pavements, micro-enterprise, human
rights, utilities, water and sanitation, sports and
culture, housing and food program.
The program saw gradual improvements in the well being
of the communities, through sanction of these grants,
which demonstrated the benefits of disbursing cash directly
to beneficiaries, and served as a model for others to
replicate.
