The Sindh Community Mobilization Program (CMP) is a five-year program jointly funded by Government of Sindh and USAID implemented by IRD. It commenced in August 2013, and forms a cornerstone of Sindh Basic Education Program (SBEP). CMP has four major components:
1) Increase communities’ involvement in the GOS reform of merging, consolidating, and upgrading schools;
2) Improve community and district administrations coordination for increased girls’ enrollment;
3) Improve child nutrition in selected communities and government schools through research that informs innovation and good practice; and,
4) Pilot component: Launch of the Education Management Organizations (EMO) system.
In addition, CMP has three cross cutting themes that will significantly add value to these objectives;
1) Gender: Mainstreaming of program activities;
2) Water and sanitation (WATSAN): Improved facilities, knowledge and practice; and,
3) Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR): Improved awareness, knowledge, preparation, and practice. The program has been implemented in seven districts Khairpur, Dadu, Sukkur, Larkana, Kashmore, Jacobabad, and Qamber Shahdadkot and five towns of Karachi (Lyari, Kemari, Orangi, Bin Qasim, and Gadap) in Sindh.
