Executive summary:

BASE is a membership organization officially established on 30th January 1991  (Magh 16, 2047 BS)  in Chief District Office, Dang and affiliated in to Social Welfare Council in the same year. BASE has been working in 9 districts, Dang, Banke, Bardiya, Kailali, Kanchanpur, Surkhet, Rukum, Salyan and Kapilbastu. There are two wings of the organization; 1) people- people to mobilize community for lobby and advocacy on policy which is structured in village, area, district and central executive committee and 2) paper-people mobilizes staff to implement the service delivery interventions in the communities. It has been implementing program in six thematic areas; Education and Social Protection; Agriculture, Livelihood, Entrepreneurship and Employment; Health, Nutrition and WASH; Peace, Governance and Human Rights; Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction, and GESI, Advocacy and Institutional Strengthening as crosscutting themes.

Illiteracy, child labour and human trafficking are high in Tharu as well as other marginalized communities in Nepal. Everyone has a right to access equitable and quality education and SDG 4 has also provisioned to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all which is still challengeable to achieve SDG 4 related indicators. About 40% children of under age of 16 year old and 2.6 million children of age of 5 to 14 are working as child labour in Nepal. There is 500% rise in trafficking of girl child from Nepal to India in 2017 compared to 2013 (Indian SSB report, 2017). Livelihood of 70% population of Nepal depends on agriculture which is not fulfilling their income for better life. Unemployment rate of youth at rural area is high that encourage youth to migrate within and out of country for their livelihood. 36% short-heighted, 10% malnourished, 27% underweight (as per their age) and 53% anaemic children are reported amongst children below 5 years of age in Nepal. Sickle cell anaemia in Tharu community is another epidemic. Nepal has been restructured in to federal governance system after a decade long armed conflict. Even though the Constitution of Nepal (2015) envisions sustainable peace, good governance, development and prosperity, there are issues of economic, social and cultural rights implementation. Around 500  disasters take place in Nepal every year that cause physical and infrastructures damage, loss of humans as well as property hindering livelihood of Nepalese people which has affected Nepal’s economic development. Nepal has suffered through gender and social discrimination and patriarch system which brought women and other excluded communities marginalized. Constitution of Nepal has provisioned to gender equity and social inclusion to bring women and marginalized community into mainstream of development.

BASE is active to serve marginalized communities for their betterment and inclusive society for 3 decades. Starting from one district program BASE achieved high coverage geographically as well as covering high population. With the change in the government structure there are new opportunities to empower communities through mobilization of government resources.  BASE has developed this 5th strategic long term plan based on learning and experiences on previous four strategic plans. This plan has prioritized on the quality education for all, economic empowerment of backward and marginalized youth and eradication of all forms of exploitation including child labour and human trafficking. Likewise, prepare communities to adapt climate change and respond disaster; access to quality health services including safe drinking water and sanitation; effective service delivery and development through peace building, good governance and human rights promotion are also major sectors of this long term plan. Further, gender equity and social inclusion in all sector of BASE has been included in this plan. BASE has also planned the institutional strengthening and risk management plan for sustainability of organization and service delivery to community. In this plan BASE has set  vision (Create self-reliant and equitable society), mission (commits for socio-economic, human resource and institutional development; cultural, environmental and human right protection and promotion and creation of equitable, peaceful and prosperous society and goal (Create educated, equitable and healthy society by providing opportunities of livelihood, development, education, employment and social inclusion for excluded community).

BASE will continue working with marginalized communities with special targeting to deliver its services to Tharus, Dalit, youth, women, people living in remote areas,  ex-kamaiya, Kamlahari, child labours, and communities vulnerable to disaster and climate change.

In this periodic plan period BASE will work and mobilize other stakeholders like community, schools, media, GoN structure, traditional institutions and other informal institutions. Develop their capacity for quality service delivery in all the thematic areas. BASE will take an active role to coordinate, collaborate and advocate to form or reform and implement policies, guideline and standard and to establish regular monitoring, evaluation and learning mechanism in each government levels.

BASE will also work to expand relationship with private companies and work by assessment of opportunities for economic development and implementation. Manage and mobilize resources in coordination with government and International Non-Governmental Organizations. Utilize opportunity of income generation.

Mobilize FCHVs for health issues. Advocate for mobilization of local resources to construct necessary physical infrastructures in partnership and collaboration with local level government. Mobilize BASE members during planning, implementation, monitoring of the program. It will conduct campaigns against traditional and customary practices. Strengthen and enhance the capacity of the organization (BASE) and other government and informal institutions.

Mobilize and capacitate peace volunteers to facilitate dialogues for conflict resolution and peace building. Work with other stakeholders to advocate to promote access of the marginalized communities. Work with stakeholders including media for knowledge transfer, new technology adoption, fund raising. Ensure and increase participation of freed Kamaiya and Kamlahari and women. Develop database software and quality documentation of the projects and organization by capacitating human resources as well as resource center. Develop advocacy skill of all staff and BASE committee member and restructure current committee structure of BASE in accordance with present structure of state.

1. Country context:

Since time immemorial, Tharus have been living in the tarai districts of Nepal. After the abolition of the Rana Regime in 1951 and eradication of malaria which brought entrance of hill migrants who brought new cultures and new communities. These hill migrants some of them started clearing the forest land for their habitation and some bought land in nominal price from indigenous Tharus population. Some cleverly grabbed land from Tharus. This process went on for sometimes which led some Tharus to migrate from their homeland to new area and some entered on “kamaiya” system (bonded labour) with new landlords. Tharus have lost access to and control over natural resources; water and forest, which they had owned and used for ages due to their weak voice in the society which led to further marginalization of Tharus in their own land.

Adverse inter-cast relations between Tharus and hill migrants (dominated the economy overtime) brought discrimination among the communities in tarai region.  Exploitation and suppression, poor health, exclusion from right to natural resources, a weak voice in decision making process, poor access to development benefits, lack of credit for their work and many other associated factors have aggravated poverty among Tharus and other deprived communities in the western part of Nepal.

Tharu families had been victims of Kamaiya system (bonded labour) for generations. In July 2000, Government of Nepal (GoN) declared freedom of Kamaiya from bondedness and forced labour system.When Kamaiya system was abolished, somehow “Kamlahari system (girl child labour for domestic work)”was left out which still persist in the society. Many upper-class individuals employed school-aged girls as domestic workers at home in return of providing them education. Except a few, most of domestic girl children were forced labour and oppressed by their masters. Some Kamlahari have even committed suicide due to sexual exploitation from their masters.  The “Kamlahari ” tradition was abolished on 2070 BS by GoN. GoN has abolished Kamlahari system however due to the lack of strict implementation of law and due to the lack of proper monitoring the system still prevails in the society.

During a decade (1996-2006) long Maoist insurgency, innocent Tharus were recruited by them which led to a situation where family lost earning person for their livelihood. This situation led negative economic consequences to Tharu families as well as other deprived communities.

The constitution of Nepal has declared State as “Federal Democratic Republic System” which restructured Nepal in to 7 provinces, 77 districts and 753 local level rural and urban municipalities. As constitution gives high level autonomy to local level bodies for planning, resource allocation and decision making for themselves which brought feasibility and opportunities of making prosperous society. GESI provisions in the constitution have given the opportunity for excluded communities, women, youth and different ethnic groups for their representation into all sectors of governance, development and economic growth.

Many things have been changed but there are still various gaps for development. Policies, rules and regulation are still inadequate and unclear, consequently implementation of development activities have become ineffective. Federal, state and local government have been prioritizing physical infrastructure development resulted social development has become on shadow.

There are still deprived communities, women, youth and children whose participation in local level planning and implementation process has been nominal. Kamaiya, Kamlahari, women, youth, children and victims of violence (mental, physical, social and structural) have not been able to access to local government’s resources and services.

In education sector community schools have not been able to adopt child friendly environment which has resulted children’s low level learning outcome. Even though there is good enrolment rate of both boys and girls, as they go upper grade dropout rate is high. There is unemployment problem in country that resulted youth to migrate abroad for job opportunity. Access to quality health services including water and sanitation among marginalized communities of remote areas are still very low. Low access resulted on high mortality rate of children and mothers, high malnutrition rate among children and other associated indicators are also low. In agriculture sector modern technology and commercialization have not been practiced consequently production still remain low.  Disasters such as floods, fires, landslides, thunder and epidemic damages huge property and result challenges for the development process.

2. Looking BASE 30 years back:

BASE Nepal is working since last 30 years where officially registered (Feb 1, 1991; Magh 18, 2047) in Chief District Office in Dang and affiliated in to Social Welfare Council in the same year. In January 1985, small groups of young Tharus established “Charpate Club” and realized that illiteracy is one of the major factors for the marginalization of Tharus community. This group started rebelling against illiteracy with the view that social and cultural factors can be improved in favour of Tharus if they are educated. This rebellion reached to a point that BASE was initiated. It started to work as a small NGO in Dang. It has now grown into a large organization, almost a popular social movement. BASE initially worked in dang district only for education, but it realized that education alone cannot resolve all the problems of marginalization. Thus, BASE started diversifying other themes (education and social protection; agriculture, livelihood, entrepreneurship and employment; health, nutrition and WASH; peace, governance and human rights; climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction, and GESI, advocacy and institutional strengthening as crosscutting themes) within its program and expanded geographical coverage. Now it works with Tharus as well as other disadvantaged people from other castes, ethnicities in Kanchanpur, Kailali, Bardiya, Banke, Dang, Surkhet, Kapilbastu, Salyan and Rukum districts.

BASE increased its members up to 137,000 in initial period 2047-2052 of registration. BASE was able to deliver its services effectively during a decade long conflict in the country (1999-2011) in spite of disturbance on organizational activities. BASE gradually increased its membership up to 300,000 general members including 35,000 active membership. It has its own office buildings, land and institutionalized organogram which is more people centred. All these are the evidences that BASE has become a stable organization.

Many national/international development partners, multilateral and bilateral funding organization have been working with BASE. Save the Children (SC), Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) Nepal, Banyan Tree Foundation (BTF), The Asia Foundation, World Education (WE), Room to Read, Water Aid Nepal, Lutheran World Relief (LWR), Research Triangle Institute (RTI), Care Nepal, Kailash Satyarthi Children Foundation (KSCF), Helen Keller International (HKI), Christian Aid, Global Giving, and Government of Nepal are present partners and funding organizations of BASE.  In addition BASE has been affiliated in different international and national networks like Anti-slavery network, Global Campaign for Education, Asian Indigenous Committee, NGO Federation Nepal, Asian Disaster Preparedness Plan (ADPC) and National Coalition for Education (NCE). Thus, BASE has proven that it has strong capacity for the fund raising, delivery of services and high level management.

Nepal education march of GoN was led by BASE and attended by different NGOs, private sector, media which raised big fund for education, rescued child labours and enrolled in school. The movement led by BASE to liberate bonded labour (Kamaiya) system in the country, consequently 29,000 Kamaiya families were liberated and rehabilitated. BASE also campaigned for the abolition of child labour and Kamlahari system. Those are popular milestones of BASE. Later on, various rights based organizations extended their solidarity to gear up the movement against Kamlahari system that’s how 13157 Kamlahari were liberated. BASE was able to graduate 66,000 individuals through non-formal education whereas 64,114 children’s were directly benefitted from formal education interventions. 39,000 women from indigenous community were supported for leadership development and income generation that has improved their livelihood conditions. BASE supported to Community Forest Users Groups (CFUGs) for the plantation in 10,000 hector of bare land. BASE successfully facilitated to register 77 cooperatives of “Kamlahari” family and 60 cooperatives were registered for the purpose of economic empowerment of marginalized community and women.

BASE is not only NGO but a great social movement in Nepal. It is not only involved in the development work, but also in raising a voice for indigenous and backward people’s rights. BASE raises a strong voice against exploitation, injustice and deprivation. 810 Kamlahari were directly rescued from slavery and rehabilitated. It led the movement to rehabilitate Freed Kamaiya, consequently their families were distributed land for residence by GoN.

As a means to recognize its efforts, BASE has been honored with different national and international awards like Anti-slavery award UK 2002, Reebok International Human Rights award 1994, Ramkrishna Jayadayal Harmony award 2003, Suprabal Gorkha Dakchhin Bahu third 1994 and Suprabal Gorkha Dakchhin Bahu Bikhyat Trishakti Patta 2004. Likewise, BASE has been formally appreciated by various District Development Committees, municipalities, and Village Development Committees as well as donor agencies. 

BASE has successfully developed leadership among Tharu youth by creating youth networks as sister organization comprising almost 32,000 youth from 5 districts. 135 persons were provided scholarship support for technical education on ANM and CMA who have been providing health services in different areas. Besides that 6 persons were graduated from the abroad with their Master’s degree and some of them are now working in BASE central office. BASE has developed leadership of its members and beneficiaries through education campaign and leadership development activities. This has been complimented some of the BASE members to hold good and leadership positions of local government and provincial parliament.

In last three decades BASE has lessons learns those have been realized for developing this strategy plan;

  1. Mass membership and community mobilization are the biggest strengths of BASE which have resulted to successful rights based advocacy campaigns for kamaiya, kamlahari and child labours.
  2. Service delivery interventions are equally important to meet the requirements of the beneficiaries to achieve better results.
  3. A complete development of the organization is possible with parallel development/ improvement of all the structures in accordance to country’s new federal structure as well as resources.
  4. Policies and strategies have to be revised and reviewed frequently with timely amendment and application.
  5. Coordination, collaboration and resource sharing with local government bring meaningful and sustainable results/impacts.
  6. Clearer and broader criteria should be designed for beneficiaries selection so that neediest get the benefits.
  7. Program and budget should be well planned and managed. Also internal control and management have to be systemized for operating the organization with effective management.

3. Vision, Mission and Goal of BASE:

BASE is not only NGO but a great social movement organization of South Asia. It is not only involved in the development work, but also in raising a voice for indigenous and backward people’s rights. BASE campaigned and still working for the abolition of child labour and Kamlahari system in Nepal. Policy advocacy for reformation of existing policies and new policy at provincial and local level to control human trafficking, improving local governance has been conducting. BASE also works on effective implementation of various policies of Government. BASE raises a strong voice against exploitation, injustice and deprivation.  BASE has historically played a leading role to end the Kamaiya system from Nepal.

Vision:

Create self-reliant and equitable society in Nepal.

BASE commits for socio-economic, human resource and institutional development; cultural, environmental and human right protection and promotion and creation of equitable, peaceful and prosperous society

Goal:

To create educated, equitable and healthy society by providing opportunities of livelihood, development, education, employment and social inclusion for excluded community.

4. Strategic Directions:

Theme 1: Education and Social Protection (Child Labour and Human Trafficking)

4.1.1. Background:

Tharus were marginalized due to illiteracy that’s why BASE was started with the principle of literacy campaign in western part of Nepal. As it continued to literacy campaign and BASE has also realized that education is equally important for empowering marginalized population, abolition of child labour and human trafficking. Education is the primary tool to produce capable and skilful human resources for the development of a nation. Everyone has a right to access equitable and quality education. Therefore, all level of governments (federal, state and local level), guardians, teachers, managements, NGOs and concerned stakeholders have to work together, support each other and coordinate among themselves to improve education in community schools. And it is also necessary to enhance their skills for quality education. Constitution of Nepal 2072 in its Article 31 has provisioned free and compulsory basic education and free education of secondary level for all citizens; free and Braille script education to blind and sign language education to dumb and deaf persons in accordance with law. The government of Nepal has developed an educational action plan in accordance with the SDG 4’s provision “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” and BASE supports this action plan through community mobilization. It is necessary to provide education with current educational approach, principle and practical experiences in the changed context.

BASE launched movements to liberate bonded labour (Kamaiya) system and their children (Kamlahari) with their Kamaiya families in midwest and far-western part of Nepal since 1985 AD. In Accordance with SDG 4 &16, GoN has set goals for inclusive and equal access to education for all and to eliminate all types of violence against children – torture, exploitation and trafficking. With slogan of “every child has right to quality education”, GoN aims to end all forms of child labour by 2025 AD. BASE believes that the concept of child friendly village will help to eliminate horrifying offences of child labour and trafficking. Nepal has ratified ILO convention no. 29 (Forced labour), convention no. 138 (minimum age) and convention no. 182 (worst forms of child labour) and UN TIP 2000. GoN promulgated ‘Bonded Labour (Prohibition) Act, 2002 responding to BASE movement against “Kamaiya” system. This act declared liberation of “Kamaiya” and keeping bonded labour as punishable and illegal offence.

There was 500% rise in trafficking of girl child from Nepal to India in 2017 compared to 2013. They are trafficked for brothels, domestic servant, forced labour exploitation and organs removal trade (Indian SSB report 2017). Constitution of Nepal, 2015 in sub articles 2,3 & 4 of article 29  has declared right against exploitation which prohibits exploitation on grounds of religion, custom, tradition, usage, practice or on any other grounds, trafficking and slavery or servitude and forced to work against his/ her will.  So far, article 51 by its sub article (3) of (I) section declares to abolish all forms of labour exploitation including child labour. It can be taken a positive progress for Nation and people of Nepal. BASE can significantly contribute to implement Government’s action plan to end all forms of child labour by 2025 AD.

  5. Work with concerned stakeholders to assess the labour market and provide market oriented skill for employment and increase access to service and subsidies.

Theme 3: Health, Nutrition and WASH

4.3.1. Background:

Social, political, economic and population changes have affected health and nutrition position in Nepal. There exists 5% child mortality rate in the world due to malnutrition. Malnutrition affects physical, mental and emotional development of children which in turn has a negative impact on a country’s social, economic and human resource development. 36% short-heighted, 10% malnourished, 27% underweight (as per their age) and 53% anaemic children are reported amongst children below 5 years of age in Nepal. 17% underweight and 41% anaemic women of reproductive age have also been reported in Nepal. (NDHS 2016). There are many other health issues seen in Nepal. 260,000 people are infected by Hepatitis B & A virus. Japanese encephalitis in Tarai region is common and fatal to human life. Sickle cell anaemia now has become another complex epidemic in the Tharus communities.

Constitution of Nepal has provided provision for water and hygiene as fundamental rights in Article 30 (1) and Article 35 (4).) According to the provision, every citizen has right to live in a clean and healthy environment and right of access to clean drinking water and sanitation. It means every citizen should have access to adequate, acceptable for drinking, physically accessible and economically reliable clean drinking water, sanitation and healthy environment. SDG 6 has set a goal to “ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all” by 2030 and SDG 3 has declared its objective as to “ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.” Therefore, BASE has developed “Health, Nutrition and WASH” strategy to support the SDGs 3 and 6.

Theme 4: Peace, Governance and Human rights

 4.4.1. Background:

Nepal has promulgated new constitution after 10 years’ long internal armed conflict. The constitution has declared Nepal as federal democratic republic which divided it in to three level governance structures, federal, province and local level. All three levels have got elected representatives for government and elected Federal government has been trying to execute the constitution. Due to the transitional phase of executing the constitution, there are still disagreements and debates to exercise rights given by the constitution. Sixty nine years passed since the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Human rights standards can be raised with democratic norms and values as well as rule of law. The Constitution of Nepal (2015) envisions sustainable peace, good governance, development and prosperity through the federal, democratic, republic, system of governance. In addition to the civil and political rights it has also expanded the issues of economic, social and cultural rights as fundamental rights. Though the implementation mechanisms are functioning, various challenges are prevailing in front of us.

Indo-Nepal boarder, permanent capital of provinces, division of responsibilities and rights of federal, provincial and local level governments, use of natural resources etc. are the major subjects of debate and disagreement. Violation of human rights, VAW and GBV are accumulating in society. Development is unable to speed up as expected. Corruption is rising where as good governance is degrading. Meanwhile, governments at different levels are unable to deliver for development and prosperity up to the expectations of the community. Thus, delivery of services and facilities to communities is yet not streamlined. Province and local level have not developed adequate policies, guidelines and direction and on the other hand they are performing very poorly.

In accordance with Nepal’s new federal structures defined at local and provincial levels BASE has to contribute and work for social harmony, accountability and minimize violence through peace building, governance and human rights interventions. With focus on SDGs, BASE will continue its efforts and projects for building peace in the societies by facilitation and mediation of the social as well as political disputes. We are equally supporting government’s work. BASE will also focus its interventions in developing government’s governance systems through technical support to improve effective services for the beneficiaries in the new federal structure.

Theme 5: Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction

4.5.1. Background:

Nepal has tremendous geographic diversity. From as low as 59 meters above sea level in the tropical tarai (the northern rim of the Gangetic plain) region, beyond the perpetual snow line to some 90 peaks above 7,000 meters including earth’s highest mountain peak, Sagarmatha (8,848 m), Nepal has contrasting landscapes. Nepal can be divided into three belts: tarai, pahad and himal from south to north. It is divided into four major river systems from east to west: Koshi, Gandaki, Karnali and Mahakali. 17% of the total land of Nepal is occupied by tarai belt and the remaining 83% are hills (pahad) and himal. Nepal has rich in bio and geographical diversity too. With the geographical diversity, different natural disasters also have of diverse nature. With the geographical diversity, different natural disasters also have of diverse nature.

Every year Nepal is struck by different natural calamities since it has topographically dynamic mountain ranges, unbalanced deep slope land and weak geological structure. Around 500 such disasters take place in Nepal every year that cause physical and infrastructures damage, loss of humans as well as property hindering livelihood of Nepalese people. The tarai and ‘chure’ belts are vulnerable to floods, fires, drought, and epidemic; the hill belt is vulnerable to landslides, epidemic while himal is vulnerable to avalanches, blast of snow ponds and snowfalls. Apart from that all these belts of Nepal are also vulnerable to earthquakes because Nepal lies in a zone of high seismic activity. Besides these natural disasters, there is vulnerability of human made disaster too.

4.5.2. Goal, objective and strategy:

Goal:

To prepare communities and schools in order to reduce risk of disasters and to respond effectively to the outcomes of disaster by increasing awareness about disaster risk management and provide them skills for adapting to climate change.

Theme 6: GESI, Advocacy and Institutional Strengthening

4.6.1. Background:

UN’s all 17 SDGs central principle is “leave no one behind” and seek to realize the human rights of all, to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls and to reach the furthest behind first. So far, Nepal has ratified CEDAW which aims to eradicate all forms of discrimination against women. In restructured federal system of Nepal, discrimination against women and girls has become reduced by law while culture is still patriarch so that women are still discriminated at family and society. The article 38 of Constitution on rights of women establishes for women the right to equal lineage; right to safe motherhood and reproductive health; right to participate in all bodies of the state; right to property and family affairs; and positive discrimination in education, health, employment and social security. Constitution of Nepal, in its article 51(J) has declared policy of “social justice and inclusion”. It has declared provision of inclusion of women, youth, indigenous, Kamaiya, Haruwa, Charuwa and other backward communities in livelihood, employment. Thus, it has provision on equal distribution of economic, cultural, social opportunities and benefits. GESI policy and fundamental right guaranteed by constitution won’t be implemented until raising voice by common people. Major tool of raising voice is advocacy. BASE has committed to create equitable society by following constitutional provisions.

Nepal has been restructured into federal, provincial and local level. In this new structure, BASE should also restructure its institutional structures and develop capacity in accordance with new structure of state. Likewise, BASE’s internal governance will get systemized by getting governed with the policies and systems as that has been realized by the organization.  Therefore, BASE has developed GESI, advocacy and institutional strengthening strategy as crosscutting theme.

4.6.2. Goal, Objective and Strategy:

Goal:

Mainstreaming GESI, advocacy and institutional strengthening with all theme of BASE strategy.

Objective:

  1. To mainstream and mobilize communities for gender equity, socially excluded communities and people living in remote areas to have easy access of the governments, non- government and private sector services.
  2. To develop in house capacity of BASE member and staff for advocacy of GESI issues.
  3. To update and renew BASE members and expand working area in accordance with Government’s political structure by reviewing existing structure of BASE.
  4. To mainstream 50% women beneficiaries in all project activities and increase women participation by 35% in decision making process
  5. To ensure regular meetings of board (20 times), timely general assembly (5 times) as well as policy review and development.
  6. To develop proper internal documentation (best practices, success stories), database (membership update) and resource update at least twice a year

Strategy:

  1. Mobilize stakeholders for campaigns, lobby, peaceful gathering, demonstration, conference, workshops and strike by identifying common people’s issues and forming/reforming networks of concerned stakeholders. Likewise, mobilize social, print and electronic media for issue based campaigning.
  2. Develop advocacy skill of all staff and BASE committee member.
  3. Restructure current committee structure of BASE in accordance with present structure of state and develop skill of staff and member.
  4. Establish fund raising team and prepare long and short term financial plan for sustainability of BASE and establish internal organizational development fund

6. Risk Management

With the previous experience and contextual condition of country, BASE has faced and resolved different type of risk while campaigning on issues and project implementation. In this regard BASE manages staff capacity and community mobilization system. BASE faced problems of irregular funding and resource crisis, to leverage resource of local government for needy beneficiaries and lack of community’s ownership for sustainability of services. Sometime, BASE has come across less skilled and expertise leadership to break through sudden problems encountered during project implementation due to turnover of well skilled and capable staff. Many members of BASE have become inactive so that grassroots level information collection and mobilization of local community was not convenient. BASE has not its own proper database tracking system so that it face problem to accumulate data, success story, best practices and achievements. In few cases BASE has been accused of political affiliation and biasness with few political parties.

Whether there are some risks that may cause ineffective implementation of project and achievement as per its goal, BASE has been taking precautions to prevent such risk. BASE manages capacity development of its staff and board members. BASE follows “do no harm” policy at project implementation areas and it mobilizes local community from very beginning of project implementation by organizing them into beneficiary groups. It has established “Famas” software for financial management. BASE establishes IT system to manage proper data and documentation. BASE reviews and updates membership and restructure its committee in accordance with government structures. BASE also manage “internal fund” for resource crisis management and to strengthen coordination with local, provincial and federal governments.

7. Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL):

As a part of everyday program management, MEAL supports to implement project effectively by correcting gaps, operate activities in fragile context and critical to the success of all projects. To track progress, make adjustments, discover unplanned effects of programs and judge the impact which we have made on the lives of our beneficiaries are not possible without effective MEAL system. Development of feedback, grievances, complaints and information sharing mechanism helps us to be accountable to our stakeholders and beneficiaries. Thus, it helps us to guide program implementation effectively.

BASE has committed to deliver its services with excellence operation and continuous improvement of programmatic errors. BASE updates its ability to document, analyse and apply learning to link past and future of projects and organization and to share its reflection with stakeholders and policymakers.

BASE will ensure the quality of work and maintain transparency and accountability among target communities and stakeholders. It will establish knowledge management learning resource centre which will maintain all type of management information system. These initiatives will be used to get effective feedback from beneficiaries, stakeholder and policymakers to ensure greater accountability to its beneficiaries.

BASE’s all level committee (villages, area, district and central) members will conduct monitoring and ensure the quality of programme and project activities and prepare periodic (monthly, quarterly) field monitoring reports and submit to the BASE Board and Executive Directors. “Joint Monitoring” of its program by the local government institutions, BASE committee members, program/project staff, local media representatives and concerned stakeholder and ensure all programmes activities are properly implemented. BASE will conduct ‘social audit, public hearing, citizen reporting card’ to be accountable to the target beneficiaries. BASE will disseminate its major board decision through the local media and FM stations.
