FOREWORD
Community organizations (COs) are at the heart of the Poverty Alleviation Fund’s (PAF) functioning. PAF has helped
to form over 25 thousand COs in its 40 programme districts. Over 650 thousand poor households are direct
beneficiaries, of which 76 per cent are women and 65 per cent are ultra-poor—with food sufficiency for less than
3 months a year.
Eleven years on the ground, PAF is now a households name as one out of ten Nepali is directly benefiting from its
programmes. Reaching out to the most vulnerable groups, especially those who are disadvantaged due to gender,
caste, ethnicity or physical isolation, PAF has demonstrated that even a modest amount of resources given to the
community can help poor families get on a sustainable path out of poverty.
PAF is currently working in 40 programme districts and 19 Innovative Window Programme Districts. A multi-year
innovative programme is under implementation in three districts, namely Chitwan, Makwanpur and Kanchanpur,
focusing on the uplift of women, indigenous communities and former bonded labourers, among others. Over 75
per cent of the total budget of PAF reaches directly to the COs of the poor.
Recently, PAF selected 59 partner organizations (POs) for the new set of 15 districts, and the programme shall be
launched in these additional districts by the end of the current fiscal year. The remaining 20 districts will be covered
through the poverty pocket approach later.
Currently, a total of 360 POs are working with PAF to facilitate COs to carry out social mobilization, provide technical
support for need identification, prioritization, preparation and implementation of community sub-projects, among
others.
Some important initiatives that were introduced during the reporting year include an amendment in the
Cooperative Bylaws, allowing PAF COs to form cooperatives. This would pave the way for aspiring COs to form
cooperatives. The new provision, approved by the Department of Cooperatives, allows only PAF CO members to
establish and run cooperatives to serve their financial needs. As part of our emphasis to work with the media—
at both national and local level, we awarded the PAF National Journalism Award 2071 to three journalists who
reported widely on poverty issues.
On the basis of own ground-level experience, feedback and research, we are adjusting our approach in relation to
maximum coverage of hard core poor and pocket-based development approach, among others, to make the COs
self-sustaining in the long run. PAF is working with its exit strategy, focusing on its strategic thrust to enable the
community to go on a sustained path to get out of poverty within a stipulated five-six years of time.
Because PAF targets a specific set of population, these organizations tend to have weak institutional capacity in the
beginning. Regular oversight and technical support from NGOs, coupled with easy access to the revolving fund,
ensure that these COs become self-sustaining over time. Many have now come together to form cooperatives and
federations, and are working beyond just improving the livelihoods of a limited number of people by contributing
to agriculture commercialization and institutional strengthening, for example. PAF is currently developing a CO
“graduation” strategy. Given the government’s recognition of cooperatives as the “third pillar” of the economy, PAF
is in the right direction to ensure sustainability of its interventions.
PAF has forged a strong partnership with the government, at both central and local levels, and non-government
organizations (NGOs) at the grass roots level. Local NGOs are central to the operation of PAF as they link it with
the COs and facilitate day-to-day activities. PAF has been working closely with the line agencies of the Ministry of
Local Development and the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives in the planning and implementation of subprojects, as well as in securing additional resources. PAF lays special emphasis on the capacity building of COs, POs and PAF, while coordination and collaboration is
accorded high priority. PAF is also strengthening the systematic grievance handling process with stakeholders’
views on Performance Management System of COs, POs and the PAF Secretariat.
As always, the annual budget of PAF is limited to meeting the demands and expectations of the stakeholders—be
it the community, POs and PAF secretariat. In some cases, PAF has not been able to allocate budget for many COs
that are already registered with it. Expansion of the PAF programme to additional districts also demands additional
funding. Therefore, provision of adequate funding is considered necessary to make PAF capable of working
effectively to help poor people in programme districts.
Whatever PAF has achieved is the result of the government’s support to it, and it is expected that the government
will provide required support so as to continue the work at the grass roots level.
I look forward to receiving support of all in our crusade against poverty.

The overriding objective of the development efforts in Nepal is poverty alleviation. Through the Tenth Plan (Poverty
Reduction Strategy Paper 2002–2007), Government of Nepal has shown its strong commitment to achieve this. The
PRSP’s sole objective was to bring sustainable reduction in poverty through reduction in income poverty level and
improving human development indicators. Even after the completion of the Tenth Plan, all the interim periodic
plans have laid their special emphasis on poverty alleviation, inclusive growth and development.
Poverty Alleviation Fund (PAF) was established in 2004 to address the exclusive needs of the poor and marginalized
by putting them in the driving seat of development efforts. PAF is contributing to bringing the level of poverty
down as per the long-term goals of GoN and the Millennium Development Goals.
Poverty is a multi-dimensional phenomenon. We need to understand its complexity and intricacies before chalking
out strategies and work plan to deal with it. Equally important is the fact that no individual organization or programme
would be able carry out its efforts in relation to poverty alleviation alone. Keeping this fact in mind, PAF, from the very
beginning, has adopted a strategy to work together with all development actors—be it an individual or agencies.
PAF would like to express its acknowledgment and gratitude to all the supporters and well-wishers for their
support and guidance. Without them, PAF would not have been able to realize its objectives and goals. It gives us
immense pleasure to inform that PAF has covered over 650 thousand poor households, who are organized in over
25 thousand COs in 40 programme districts.
I would like express my sincere gratitude to all board members, officials from the Office of the Prime Minister and Council
of Ministers, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development, Ministry of Poverty Alleviation and
Cooperatives, National Planning Commission, District Development Committees, Village Development Committees
and different development partners for their incessant guidance, understanding and collaboration with PAF.
The World Bank and the International Fund for Agriculture Development, who have not only provided financial grants
but also their global experience and expertise in relation to targeting the ultra poor, have been key partners of PAF.
Most importantly, I would like to acknowledge and commend the support of our COs, POs, CO networks, CO
federations, national and local media and civil society representatives, among others. We will continue to work
together with these institutions and individuals in the days to come as well.
Last but not the least, I would like to thank PAF Vice-chair and all the members of staff for their support in making
the publication of this annual report a success.

Annual Report 2014
Executive Summary
By the end of the reporting period, a total of 25,139
community organizations (COs) of the poor were
registered with the Poverty Alleviation Fund (PAF),
and agreements were signed with 23,924 COs to carry
out different income generation and community
infrastructure-related schemes at community level.
During the reporting year alone, agreements
amounting to Rs.1.45 billion were signed with 2,077 COs
to implement 2,690 sub-projects, which include 2,076
income generation (IG) and 614 infrastructure-related
schemes. In cumulative terms, a total of 23,661 IG and
5,126 infrastructure sub-projects were implemented
through 27,850 agreements signed with COs to the
tune of Rs.14. 56 billion, of which Rs.13.89 billion has
already been disbursed to the COs.
With the demand of the communities, different
activities related to IG and infrastructure sub-projects
are currently being implemented. IG activities are
related to agriculture/cropping, livestock, microenterprises/cottage industries, trade and skill-based
services, while infrastructure sub-projects are related
to micro-irrigation, trails, link roads, culverts, bridges,
ropeways, electricity/micro-hydro, water mills, water
supply, sanitation and community building such as
school, health posts/clinics, storage market centres, etc.
PAF has undertaken various initiatives to strengthen
the capacity of the COs and to promote them to higher
institutions so as to sustain their efforts in the long run.
Revolving fund management and training manuals
have been updated and enforced to strengthen the
revolving fund which is established at the community
level. PAF has started enlisting COs in the record of the
respective VDCs. Also, informal networks of COs have
been formed at VDC level. These networks have helped
to raise the voices of the poor in an organized way. It
has also helped to establish linkages and pool resources
from local government and other development partners
to meet the needs of poor communities. The networks
have helped to spearhead infrastructure-related projects
and establish cooperatives to manage production and
marketing.
The Department of Cooperatives, through an
amendment in its rules, has allowed PAF COs to
form cooperatives with the involvement of only CO
members. A pilot cooperative has been registered and
established in Dhading district. PAF has also awarded
the PAF National Journalism Award 2071 to three
journalists who reported on poverty issues. Prime
Minister and Chairperson of PAF Board Rt. Honorable
Sushil Koirala gave away the award at a function marked
to commemorate the International Day for Eradication
of Poverty on October 17, 2014.
As part of its emphasis on institutional development,
PAF is encouraging COs to consider other models of
institutional development such as cottage industries
and micro-enterprises, among others. A concept note
on activity-based pocket area development has been
prepared to encourage quality production and activities.
A pocket area development guidelines has been prepared
and endorsed by the Board. A CO graduation assessment
manual is being implemented at the local level to assess
the level of maturity of COs.
During the reporting year, PAF has achieved 78 per
cent of the physical targets and 75.87 per cent of
the financial targets of the programme. Community
institutionalization process is also emerging in some
of the districts where community has felt the need to
federate themselves to carry out certain functions.
Reaching out to the Excluded
Poor Community Beneficiaries
and Social Inclusion
Partner organizations (POs) selected by PAF are
facilitating COs of the poor. As such, a total of 360
POs are working with communities. As of the end of
the reporting period, these POs are facilitating the PAF
programme in 1,692 VDCs (355 in Initial 6 Districts, 805
in Additional 19 Districts, 474 in 15 B1 Districts, 58 in
Innovative Window Programme [IWP] Districts). Most
importantly, a total of 701,528 poor households (HHs)
are now being served: 191,867 in Initial 6 Districts,
393,472 in Additional 19 Districts, 96,795 in Additional
15 B1 Districts and 19,394 in IWP Districts.

Additional 14,227 households have also benefitted
through the NDM-World Bank Programme in 77
additional VDCs. So far, PAF has covered 662,028 poor
households as CO member beneficiaries. Among CO
beneficiary members, 64.8 per cent fall under the hard
core poor category (food sufficiency less than 3 months
among the criteria fixed by the community), 25.6 per cent
fall under the medium poor category (food sufficiency
more than 3 months but less than 6 months), 9 per cent
fall under the poor category (food sufficiency more than
6 months but less than a year) and 0.2 per cent fall under
the marginalized non-poor category.

All five districts of the Karnali zone are covered by the
programme. Till date the programme has reached 134
VDCs, i.e. 100 per cent of 134 VDCs in Karnali, benefitting
59,491 poor households.

When percentage beneficiaries of PAF by ethnicity
is compared with district percentage ethnicity
composition of 25 PAF districts, it becomes clear that
PAF is focusing on socially excluded groups such as
Dalits and Janajatis. PAF covered almost 100 per cent
of the Dalits in these initial 25 districts. Overall, PAF
has till now benefited nearly 100 per cent of the poor
households in 25 districts (473,958 poor households out
of CBS data, 412,220 poor households in 25 districts).
Out of the 146 border VDCs of Bara, Bardiya, Chitwan,
Dhanusa, Kanchanpur, Kapilbastu, Mahottari, Parsa,
Rautahat, Saptari, Sarlahi and Siraha districts, PAF
has helped in the formation of 1,195 COs, covering
103 VDCs (i.e. 71% of the VDCs in Terai border VDCs),
benefiting 32,107 CO member households.

Out of the total PAF investments, 70 per cent have been
made in IG sub-projects and 30 per cent in infrastructure
sub-projects. About 87 per cent of the PAF investments
in IG sub-projects have been established as revolving
fund being managed by COs at the community level.
Collaboration in Sub-project
Implementation
Collaborative efforts are going on to supplement and
complement different programmes running in the
district to bring discernible impact in considerably less
time. There are several examples of collaboration with
line agencies, local governments and donor agencies
to implement the programme and sub-projects in the
communities at district level. Several memorandums of
understanding (MoUs) have been signed with different
organizations at central level to facilitate different tasks
as well as to facilitate collaboration in implementation
of sub-projects at the community level.

in technical skill enhancement, to transfer skills and
technology to members to carry their business/
activities effectively. Furthermore, leading members
of COs are taken to appropriate sites and venues to
expose them to, and share with them, successful and
innovative approaches adopted by other organizations
and institutions.
PAF has been conducting various training for the CO
members. The following table shows the cumulative
progress under this category.
To cope with and fulfil the demand for technical human
resources, different technical training, including boring
for water, basic furniture-making, electrician, driving,
mason, among others, are being conducted at the
community level.
Among the various types of training provided to the
CO members, the major ones are: leadership and

group management training, to enhance skills of the
CO members to lead and manage their organizations;
account-keeping training, to enhance the capacity to
keep up-to-date book-keeping of the organization;
training in revolving fund, to manage the revolving
fund effectively. Similarly, training in entrepreneurial
skill enhancement and training in technical skill
enhancement to transfer skills and technology to
members to carry out their business/activities more
effectively. Furthermore, the leading members of
COs are taken on exposure visits to share knowledge
and innovative approaches adopted by different
organizations and institutions.
Outcomes and Results
During the reporting period, a social re-assessment of
40,085 households of the sample COs with maturity
period of three years or more was carried out. A
comparative analysis of the social re-assessment
data with the baseline social assessment shows
that household-level assets and school enrolment
of children, food sufficiency duration for individual
households, and construction and use of toilet has
increased.
The household-level gross income (from all sources) of
the re-assessed 4,085 households has increased by 68.5
per cent in real terms. Similarly, the household-level
income of about 68 per cent of the total households
has increased by at least 15 per cent.
The results show that the percentage of households
with food insufficiency of 3 months or less dropped
from 63.9 per cent to 37.2 per cent, with a reduction of
58.3 percentage points, for the CO member households.
This effect is seen stronger for Janajati households.
The proportion of food insecure households among
Janajati decreased from 56.7 per cent to 18.0 per
cent—a reduction of 68.2 percentage points. While
for Dalit households, the percentage decrease of food
insecure households is 85.4 to 35.7, with a reduction of
58.2 percentage points.
The revolving fund assessment carried out during
the reporting period shows that communities have
been managing their revolving fund satisfactorily.
Revolving funds have provided an opportunity to
the poor to access funds—otherwise inaccessible—
through formal financial institutions, to initiate income
generation activities. COs are managing and operating
these funds by themselves and are responsible for
setting interest rates and loan payment conditions.
The revolving fund data of 10,328 COs shows that the
fund provided to the COs by PAF has increased by 19
per cent, which includes the interest charged against
XVI

the loans taken by members, community contribution
and funds collected from other sources. Similarly, 93.0
per cent of the 290,783 CO members have accessed the
fund at least for one time to initiate income-generating
activities. Out of the total members accessing the fund
from the revolving fund, 60 per cent have used the
fund two times or more. The assessment also shows
87.5 per cent of the total fund has been invested as
loan to members, rest of the fund is in banks and cash
in hand in COs.
The assessment further shows that the average rate of
interest on loan is 9.9 per cent. However, the interest
rate is slightly higher in newer COs. Furthermore, the
average rate of loan repayment is 78.4 per cent.
Furthermore, during the reporting period, CO
Institutional Capacity Assessment was carried out. The
assessment assessed the capacity of the COs in terms of
various aspects of institutional development, identified
the areas of strength and weaknesses of COs, and
developed a strategy for CO graduation to make them
able to operate in a sustainable way. The assessment was
done among 12,870 COs against 30 indicators1, which
were graded into four groups by the sum of indicator
scores (each on the scale of 1-4, making the maximum
score of 120). Around 12 per cent of the COs were found
fully mature and able to function without additional
capacity building or supervision support; around 82
per cent required some additional capacity-building
support in managing the organization or needed
further social mobilization efforts. The remaining COs
still needed substantial hand-holding for some time.

bringing the total number of PAF programme districts
to 55.
For FY2014/15, PAF has earmarked a total budget of
Rs.2,572,721,000 to implement 2,503 income generation
schemes, 767 infrastructure schemes and 236 activities
related to product development, market linkages and
piloting of innovative schemes. PAF has allocated a
budget of Rs.638,354,000 for social mobilization and
capacity building through POs to achieve the targets.

CHAPTER
PAF: BRIEF INTRODUCTION
1.1Introduction
Nearly a quarter of the Nepalese population still live
below poverty line. The majority of the poor live in rural
areas and are engaged in traditional and subsistence
farming on small plots of low quality land, have limited
access to credit, infrastructure, markets and basic social
services, often because of remoteness, and rely heavily
on seasonal migration and remittance.
Poverty Alleviation Fund (PAF) was established in
2004 as a special and targeted programme to bring
the poor and disadvantaged groups and excluded
communities in the mainstream of development by
putting them in the driving seat of development efforts.
PAF is contributing to bringing the level of poverty
down to 10 per cent in twenty years in pursuant with
the long-term goal of the Government of Nepal (GoN)
and reduce poverty by half by the year 2015 as per
the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). With
the recent addition of 15 districts, the total number
1
of programme districts of PAF has reached 40. The
remaining thirty-five districts will be covered through
the poverty pocket approach.
1.2 The Strategy
PAF has taken the strategy of enabling the poor
through social mobilization and capacity building to
organize themselves and obtain quality basic services
in a cost-effective and sustainable manner with their
direct involvement. It uses partner organizations (POs)
to help poor vulnerable people and their community
groups or organizations to implement the programme
components, and they include local bodies, NGOs/
CBOs and private sector organizations. It also seeks to
build partnership with various organizations working in
its areas of operation at the village, district and national
levels to ensure holistic development interventions in
order to bring discernible impact on poverty reduction
and scaling up the programme in considerably little
time.
Annual Report 2014

1.3 The Approach
PAF has followed six guiding principles: namely
(a) Targeted at the poor (Antodaya); (b) Social Inclusion
(Samabesi); (c) Demand-driven approach (Maag
Anusar); (d) Transparency (Pardarsita); (e) Direct funding
of community organizations of the poor (Prataksha
Bhuktani); and (f ) Community Institutional Development
(Samudayako Sansthagat Bikash).
Social mobilization, Income generation, Small
community infrastructure development and Capacity
building are the four major programme components
of PAF. The target beneficiaries of PAF are poor women,
Dalit, Janajatis and vulnerable communities living
below poverty line.
1.4 Institutional Arrangements
Established by an ordinance in 2004, PAF is being
governed by an Act since 2006. Thus, PAF is an
autonomous,
independent
and
professional
organization governed by separate law. The twelve-
2
Annual Report 2014
member governing board, chaired by the Prime
Minister, is responsible for policy guidance and
programme approval.
Vice-chairperson and five members are appointed
by the government from among development
professionals, while five other ex-officio members
include National Planning Commission (NPC) Secretary,
chairperson of the Association of District Development
Committees of Nepal (ADDCN), chairperson of the
Association of Village Development Committees of
Nepal (AVDCN), chairperson of the National Women
Commission (NWC) and chairperson of the National
Dalit Commission (NDC).
The PAF secretariat consists of over six dozen members
of staff, mostly professionals, recruited on competitive
basis. A total of 360 POs work on behalf of the poor
in different districts, including through regular and
innovative programmes.

Region-wise, PAF has invested the highest amount in IG
sub-projects in the Hilly Region, followed by the Terai,
Mountain and IWP districts. Similarly, investment trend
is maintained in the infrastructure sub-projects.
In the case of income generation, the activities
most demanded by the communities are related to
agriculture, livestock, cottage industries, trade and skillbased services. Similarly, infrastructure sub-projects are
related to micro-irrigation, link roads, culverts/bridges,
ropeways, electricity/micro-hydro, water mills, water
supply, sanitation, school and health post building,
among others.
In cumulative scenario, average community sharing is
16 per cent (6% in cash and 10% in kind) of the total
sub-project cost, whereas VDCs and DDCs and other
development partners share 6 per cent of the total sub-

Facilitation of Community through POs
POs are selected by PAF to facilitate COs of the poor.
The facilitation work of POs includes organizing COs,
enhancing COs’ capacity development in planning
activities, carrying out detailed feasibility, survey design
and estimates, proposal writing during preparatory
phase, and providing technical assistance and
monitoring and supervision during implementation
phase.
As such, 354 POs are working with communities in 40
programme districts. Furthermore, six POs are working
for Innovative NDM-World Bank Programme.

Reaching out to the Poor and Social Inclusion
PAF has taken the strategy of the poor community
organizing themselves to prepare, implement and
manage their programmes and sitting in the driving
seat, with decision-making authority.
The participatory social assessment and community wellbeing ranking process identified the poor community
members as primary beneficiaries at the settlement
level. They are organized into COs to plan, implement
and manage their sub-projects. As entry point of PAF
programme at settlement level, social mapping and
participatory social assessment are the primary social
mobilization steps. The settlement-level social assessment
has shown that 69.8 per cent of all households are
identified as poor households and thus included as CO
members in the PAF programme.
in the Hilly Region. When the region-wise breakdown
of the CO members is compared, the Hilly Region holds
the highest share, with 43 per cent, followed by the
Terai and Mountain regions, with 33 and 21 per cent
respectively, while IWP districts have a meagre share of
3 per cent.
CO Members by Poverty Ranking
Among beneficiary members of COs, 64.8 per cent fall
under the hard core poor (Ka) category (food sufficiency
less than 3 months among the criteria fixed by the
community), 25.9 per cent fall under the medium poor
(Kha) category (food sufficiency more than 3 months
but less than 6 months), 9.2 per cent under the poor (Ga)
category (food sufficiency more than 6 months but less
than a year) and a very small percentage of members fall
under the marginalized non-poor (Gha) category.

Community Institutional Building
Community institutionalization process is also
emerging in some of the districts where the community
has felt the need for federating themselves for certain
functions. A total of 92 multipurpose cooperatives
Annual Report 2014
7
and 1,013 federations of COs have been formed as per
the felt need of the community. Informal networks of
COs are being formed in each VDC in the process of
institutionalization. Based on ground experience, PAF
is working on formulating strategies for sustainable
institutional development of COs.
During the reporting year, PO evaluation criteria
were revised to make them more simple, based on
experience, and a CO graduation assessment guideline
was approved. Another equally important document is
the draft for pocket area (activity-based) development:
implementation guidelines and concept paper for
cooperative development, among others.
2.2.2 Income Generation and
Micro-enterprise
A wide range of income generation activities are being
supported at the community level, based upon the
potentials and opportunities available. The potentials
include the availability of raw materials and resources,
access to market, skills and traditional occupations, etc.
POs provide information to community members and
facilitate them to identify potential income generation
activities. Nepal being an agricultural country, more
than 80 per cent of its population relies on this sector.
Income generation activities supported by PAF are
related to agriculture and livestock sectors as majority
of the Nepalese are landless or nearly landless but
make their sustenance through the agriculture sector.
IG Activities: Sector, households and investment
By the end of FY2070/71, PAF has signed agreements
with 23,924 COs to implement 27,850 sub-projects.
Out of these sub-projects, 23,661 are related to income
generation activities. The ratio of number of IG subprojects to the total number of sub-projects increased
from 55 per cent in FY2061/62 to 83.64 per cent in
FY2064/6, and it stands at 76 per cent in FY2070/71.
In terms of investment, the share of the IG sector in
the total investment continuously increased to 83.5
per cent in FY2063/64 from 61 per cent in FY2061/62,
then it started to decrease and it stands at 49.7 per cent
in FY2070/71. The trend of PAF investment shows that
investment in the IG sector continuously increased
till FY2063/64 and then started to decrease. Income
generation activities being the first choice of the poor,
IG investment again increased in FY2067/68 due to
increased coverage in 15 new districts and then it
started decreasing.
IG activities investment by sector and region
Income generation activities can be grouped into
different sectors like agriculture, livestock, service,
trading, manufacturing and others. PAF investment by
sectors as well as households involved in each sector is
presented in table and chart. The following data on PAF

investment in income-generating sub-projects does
not include the investment related to capacity building
of COs and their institutional management cost.
People living in rural areas have limited access to
basic infrastructures like road, electricity, market and
information, resulting in higher demand for livestock
activities as income generation sub-projects.
The livestock sector shows the largest portfolio of IG
activities by investment as well as households involved.
About 72 per cent of PAF support is disbursed to this
sector and 69 per cent of IG beneficiary households
are engaged, followed by trade-related activities (16%),
agriculture-related activities (7%), service sector (4%),
manufacturing and other activities (approximately 1%).
In terms of investment, out of the total 402,000
households involved in livestock husbandry, about 34
per cent are engaged in milk production through buffalo
and cow raising, 59 per cent in meat production, 5 per
cent in ox/he-buffalo raising for farming/breeding and
the remaining 2 per cent in transportation. Out of the
total investment of Rs.6,614.53 million in the livestock
sector, about 48 per cent is in meat production,
followed by 44 per cent in milk production, 5 per cent
in breeding/farming and 3 per cent in transportation.
The variations in communities’ demand across
geographical regions and accessible and nonaccessible areas show that the communities are smart
in selection of activities based on accessibility, existing
natural resources and potential markets opportunities.
In the Terai region, market for fresh milk is relatively high
and accessible, and products can easily be marketed with
little time and effort for collection and transportation.
Nearly 56 per cent of the households (with 70% of
total investment in the livestock sector in the region)
pursuing livestock as part of their income generation
activity in the Terai region are rearing buffaloes and cows
for milk production, followed 31 per cent (19% of total
investment) for meat production and the remaining 13
per cent (11% of total investment) for farming/breeding
purpose. The trend has not changed over many years.
Similarly, in the Hilly Region, 67 per cent of the
households (61% of the total amount) have been found
engaged in meat production by rearing goat, pig and
poultry, among others. In the same region, 24 per cent
of the households (35% of the total amount) of livestock
raising is done for milk production, followed by 9 per
cent of the households (4% of the total amount) for
farming/breading and transportation purposes. In
the case of the Mountain Region, 75 per cent of the
households (70% of the total amount) are involved in
meat production, followed by 18 per cent (21% of the

per cent in transportation purpose.
In addition to animal husbandry, PAF has provided
support in its associated areas such as animal
treatment fund, establishment of veterinary services
and developing village-level health workers to
supplement the livestock component. In view of the
largest investment portfolio in the livestock sector, due
emphasis has been laid on establishing linkages with
market and services.
Apart from livestock, the communities have demanded
diverse activities in the agriculture sector. The activities
thus demanded are the system of rice intensification (SRI),
vegetable farming in open field to tunnel house, seed
multiplication, cash crop production and fruit farming.
Out of the total 63,308 households, 59 per cent are
engaged in vegetable farming, followed by 15 per cent
in fruit farming, 14 per cent in agro-forestry, 7 per cent
in cash crop farming, about 4 per cent in beekeeping
and the rest in fishery and others.

Vegetable farming has been found very lucrative and
effective in increasing the income of the poor within
a short interval of time in areas where market is easily
available for fresh vegetables. Under the IWP, PAF has
also supported landless and marginalized people in
Chitwan district to engage in vegetable farming in lease
land. This programme has helped increase income of the
poor, thereby creating full-time employment for them.
In mountain districts like Bajura, green vegetable
farming was outright impossible during winter season
before PAF intervention. But following PAF intervention,
commercial vegetable farming is being practised even
in winter season with the introduction of pit green
house and solar tunnel house. Such vegetable farming
technology/methodology has been successfully
demonstrated, and this proven and tested case has
shown high potential for scaling up in other areas in
the days ahead.
Irrespective of better yield but comparatively longer
gestation period, the demand for fruit farming is low.
Nonetheless, a promotional activity of fruit farming

undertaken by the communities has widened the
scope for scaling up this intervention in coming days.
Trading is the second largest portfolio among IG
activities. Altogether 79,544 households are engaged
in trading businesses, where PAF has invested
Rs.1,432.54 million. Of the total investment, 75 per cent
is in retail shop, followed by 8 per cent in agriculture
and forest-related enterprises, 7 per cent in livestock
and livestock product-related businesses, 4 per cent in
garment business and the rest in other different types
of activities.
Within the trading sector, retail business has the largest
investment in all ecological belts: more than 65 per
cent in the Terai, 85 per cent in mountain districts and
more than 87 per cent in Hilly Districts. Animal business,
wood product business, agricultural inputs, food itemrelated business are other major activities in this sector.
Overall, 23,000 households are engaged in the services
sector, where PAF has invested about Rs.324.4 million.
Out of the total investment, Rs.315 million has been
invested in income-generating social services and the
rest in social services like support for school and health
posts, scholarships, etc. Tailoring business, having 29 per
cent investment, is one of the largest components of
the social sector, followed by transportation (28%), small
hotels/teashops (14%), repair and maintenance (7%), and
the rest is in other activities like livestock support, agrovet services, etc.
A total of 14,058 households are involved in
manufacturing businesses, where PAF investment is
about Rs.140.5 million. Out of the total investment,
about 51 per cent is in non-agro product-related

manufacturing activities, followed by 43 per cent in
forest product-related, agro-processing-related (4%)
and the rest is in fruit processing.
Diverse IG activities are undertaken by the community
members. Of them, livestock sector is the major activity
as compared to other IG activities. It means, there is
still great challenge to provide informed choices to the
people so that they are able to select suitable IG activities
based on their needs, local resources, knowledge, skills
and market potentials. A lion’s share of investment
in the livestock sector demands development of a
mechanism for providing adequate veterinary services
in rural areas. To sustain the diverse interventions, PAF
should accord high priority to enhance the qualitative
capacity of both POs and COs.

Box: PAF Supporting Rural Artisans through JSDF Project
Japan Social Development Fund has provided a grant of US$2,646,777 million to enhance the quality of life
of the poor people who are engaged in artisanship and cultural industries. Signed on February 17, 2012, the
project is now being implemented in nine districts, namely Terahthum, Dhanusha, Lalitpur, Gorkha, Myagdi,
Rupandehi, Kapilbastu, Dailekh and Bajura. Most of these districts are regular programme districts of PAF.
The project will be launched first in Terahthum, Dhanusha, Lalitpur and Gorkha districts and then move to other
districts.
PAF has hired Asian Heritage Foundation, based in New Delhi, as Technical PO in August, 2014 in order to
support artisans in multiple design development and marketing of their products. Similarly, PAF will mobilize
existing local POs for social mobilization and institutional development of artisan communities.
In order to launch the JSDF project in the districts, a district-level visit programme was organized in Dhanusha
and Terahthum districts in December 2014 by a team comprising PAF, AHF and WB personnel. The objective of
the visit was to assess the existing skill set of artisans. During the field visit AHF team (Technical PO) assessed
the skills sets of artisans and decided to intervene with Mithila Art and Sikki Grass Crafts in Lohana VDC and
Janakpur Municipality Ward no. 12, 14, 15 and 16 of Dhanusha district on pilot basis. Similarly, Dhaka products
in Jaljale, Oyakjung and Solma VDCs of Terahthum district were selected.
The World Bank is the administrator and PAF is the implementing agency of the project. The project is entitled
“Making Markets Work for Conflict Affected in Nepal”.

PAF Investment in Community Infrastructure
During the reporting year, 112 community building
were completed and Rs.126.35 million (19.7% of PAF
investment in infrastructure) invested in these buildings,
while Rs.203.21 million (28.6% of PAF investment in
infrastructure) has been invested in 226 water supply
and sanitation schemes.
Similarly, in cumulative scenario, a total of Rs.848.39
million (29.59% of PAF investment) were invested in
water supply and sanitation, which is higher than any
other categories of infrastructure. This is mainly due to
the higher number of water suppy-related schemes in
cumulative terms.

Community’s Contribution in
Infrastructure-related Investment
To construct infrastructures, communities are also
contributing to the total investment. They are
contributing in cash as well as in kind. Collection of
local materials and labour is the main job of community
while executing community infrastructures. So, there
is a variation in community contribution between
different types of infrastructure. Rural access schemes
which were completed during the reporting year have
highest contribution from communities. They have
contributed Rs.57.87 million for Rural access schemes,
which is 26.0 per cent of the total cost. It is followed
by the Water supply sub-projects, with 24.6 per cent
contributions, while Community Building has attracted
the least contribution of 20 per cent. On average,
there is 23 per cent community contribution in the
infrastructures completed during the reporting year.

Similarly, in cumulative scenario, infrastructures under
miscellaneous category have maximum contribution
(26.8%) from the communities, followed by Rural access
(26.1%). In total, 24.3 per cent contribution has been
made by the community for community infrastructures.
Education Offices (DEOs) have invested in PAF-supported
infrastructure schemes. They have invested Rs.587.73
million in cumulative terms and Rs.148.49 million during
the reporting year alone for infrastructures. Out of the
total investment, 87 per cent is in the rural energy sector
in both cumulative scenario and reporting year.
Contribution from local bodies
DDC and VDC are also contributing in PAF-supported
infrastructure sub-projects. These institutions have
contributed Rs.60.92 million during the reporting year
alone and a total of Rs.220.18 million in cumulative
terms. Their contribution in rural energy is the highest,
followed by Rural access. This shows that local bodies are
more interested in rural energy and Rural access. They
have contributed Rs.170.06 million in cumulative and
46.61 million for rural energy sub-projects during the
reporting year. This shows that coordination between
PAF and local bodies is increasing in recent days. The
DDCs and VDCs have contributed Rs.7.78 million for
Rural access schemes completed during the reporting
year, while Rs.27.85 million has been invested in Rural
access in cumulative scenario. Further analysis shows
that communities are forcing local bodies to contribute
to sub-projects that demand larger investment.
Ratio of investments by different agencies
In cumulative terms, local bodies and other development
agencies are more interested in coordination in rural
energy. They are contributing 9.9 per cent and 31.0
per cent of the total cost of infrastructure respectively.
Contribution from PAF is the highest, with 74.8 per cent
for community building category of sub-projects, which
include health posts, school buildings, rustic stores,
market sheds, cooperative buildings, etc and the lowest
for rural energy, where PAF’s contribution is only 36.70
per cent of the total cost. Percentage of community
contribution is the highest (26.8%) for Miscellaneous
and the least (22.4%) for rural energy-related subprojects. On average, PAF has contributed 65.70 per
cent of the total cost, whereas CO’s contribution is
24.30 per cent, DDC and VDC’s contribution is 2.72 per
cent and other’s contribution is 7.3 per cent.
Investment from other sources
Besides DDC and VDC, other donor and line agencies,
including the Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC),
rural energy Development Programme (REDP) and District
For infrastructures completed during the reporting year,
PAF, communities, DDCs/VDCs and other line agencies
have contributed 67.04, 22.58, 2.92 and 7.46 per cent of

Per Capita Cost–Total investment and PAF
The PAF rules require the upper ceiling of per capita
investment to be Rs.5,500 for infrastructure-related
sub-projects. But in reality, the per capita cost of PAF
investment is Rs.2,993.09 for the sub-projects completed
during the reporting year, while the cumulative per
capita cost is Rs.1,875.24. For infrastructures completed
during the reporting year, per capita cost is the highest
for Miscellaneous sub-projects, with Rs.3,258.58, and
the lowest for community building, with Rs.2,123.49.
Per capita cost in total is the highest for rural energy-related
infrastructures for both reporting year and in cumulative
terms. Its value is Rs.6,288.61 and Rs.5,575.56 for the
reporting year and cumulative respectively. For Community
Building, it is the lowest, with Rs.2,748.02, in the reporting
year and for Rural access Rs.2,306.79 for cumulative.

the 'Start and Improve Your Business (SIYB)' and
'Micro-enterprise Creation and Development (MECD)'
training through POs. The training is conducted
before the demand-led proposal preparation of COs.
A total of 1,586 members of COs have been trained in
entrepreneurship skill development and marginalized
group business management. These training themes
help CO members to identify appropriate and
marketable micro-enterprises and income-generating
activities in the local context.
2.2.4.2 Institutional Development and
Institutional Model Development-related
Capacity Development Activities
The ultimate goal of PAF is the institutional development
of COs. PAF has been providing grants to COs to
launch various income-generating and infrastructurebuilding activities. Community Revolving funds are
created from the grant provided for income-generating
activities. Hence, institutional strengthening of COs is
imperative for sustainable management and utilization
of the community revolving fund. Therefore, apart from
income-generating training, PAF has been conducting
institutional development-related training like account,
revolving fund and savings and credit management,
leadership development and group management, public
audit, institutional model development (cooperative
education and creation) to the CO members concerned.
A total of 2,255 CO members were trained in
institutional development-related themes like account,

Annual Report 2014
revolving fund and savings and credit management,
leadership development and group management and
public audit.
2.2.4.3 Animal Husbandry, Agriculture-related
Capacity Development Activities
Apart from income-generating and institutional
development-related activities, PAF also imparts
awareness creation and their small IG-related training
and orientation to CO members. A total of 3,984 CO
members received training and orientation related to
animal husbandry.
2.2.5 Capacity Development of POs
Capacity development of COs is interlinked with
the capacity development of POs. Hence, capacity
development of POs is necessary to deliver capacity and
institutional development of COs. Hence, PAF has been
imparting institutional development-related Training
of Trainers (ToT), refresher training and orientation to
POs so that they can impart the same training themes
to COs through POs. They include social mobilization,
leadership development, group management, account,
revolving fund and savings and credit management,
social audit and institutional model development,
i.e. cooperative education, cooperative creation and
cooperative business plan preparation.
A total of 1,152 PO staff members were trained in
institutional development and institutional model
development-related themes, followed by 408 staff
members in enterprise development, i.e. Start and
Improve Your Business (SIYB) and Value Chain, 767
staff members in PAF implementation process, i.e.
revolving fund guidelines, IG, Infrastructure; PAF special
programme for marginalized communities, pocket area
development; nutritional guidelines and improved
agriculture technology; 95 staff members were trained
in participatory planning monitoring and evaluation
and project management and participatory rural
appraisal; 143 in proposal writing, success story and
news writing, group facilitation skills and organizational
development. Similarly, 15 events of coordination and
review meeting were organized with DDCs and lines
agencies in order to coordinate and strengthen the PAF
programme in the district.
Similarly, in order to integrate the safe migration
perspective in the PAF social mobilization process,
one-day training 'Linking Safer Migration to Social
Mobilization' was organized in July 2012. The training
was conducted in collaboration with Free the Slaves
(FTS), an INGO. Altogether 25 participants from
twelve districts, namely Jhapa, Bara, Sindhupalchowk,
Rasuwa, Kathmandu, Ramechhap, Bajura, Jajarkot,
Kailali, Bardiya, Kapilbastu and Pyuthan participated
in the training. The objectives of the training were to
strengthen the training in safer migration; enhance
conceptual understanding of trafficking and slavery and
the consequences of trafficking and unsafe migration/
forced migration; and develop an action plan to link
safer migration to the PAF social mobilization processes.
During the training, the participants got an opportunity
to learn and reflect on the concept of trafficking and
national and international policies on the issue.
2.2.6 Capacity Development of
PAF Secretariat
Capacity development is one of the major factors for
organizational development. Capacity development
of POs and COs is also linked to capacity development
of the PAF secretariat. PAF has internalized this from
the very beginning and has been organizing capacity
development initiatives for PAF staff. The following are
the capacity development activities conducted by for
capacity strengthening of the PAF secretariat.
(a) In-house Workshops and Meetings
In order to review and strengthen the PAF programme
in the districts, a two-day Programme Review Meeting
was organized on February 5–7, 2014 at the PAF
Secretariat. All Portfolio Managers participated and
presented the progress of the districts as well as share
the lessons learned and challenges they faced.
During the reporting year, PAF organized an orientation
programme to welcome and introduce and give
orientation on the PAF Programme for newly appointed
staff. This orientation has built the capacity of the newly
appointed staff to introduce and know the process and
working modalities of PAF. In addition, it organized
dozens of workshops and in-house meetings for PAF
staff members.

CHAPTER
INFORMATION, MONITORING AND
GRIEVANCE HANDLING
3.1 Monitoring and Evaluation
organization has been encouraging all stakeholders to be
involved in the monitoring process of the project activities.
Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is an inextricable
part of PAF’s mission, providing an analytical basis for
programmatic decisions, allowing PAF to learn from
its experience, and share the impact and lessons with
different stakeholders.
PAF's M&E Division undertakes or facilitates various
research and studies, surveys with other units of PAF,
enriching the organization’s overall programmes and
strategy.
Its monitoring data is developed on five different
databases, which support the process of working
with POs and COs and monitoring the sub-project
activities (Figure 1). These databases provide a rich
source of information on PAF activities and have been
increasingly analysed to improve planning and address
weaknesses in the project implementation process and
to identify areas of strength that can be scaled up.
PAF’s monitoring focuses on the progress, process,
compliance and the results of project activities. The
As community is at the driving seat of all PAF
programmes, monitoring by the community is
essential for the compliance and results of the
programme. Thus, the monitoring subcommittee of
each CO is responsible to monitor the activities carried
out by the CO concerned. Besides, the social mobilizers
assigned by the POs are responsible for facilitating the
monitoring subcommittee for effective monitoring
and also monitor the activities of COs themselves.
Besides, the programme coordinators, supervisors
and board members of the POs are responsible for
monitoring or tracking the progress and the compliance
made by the COs.
The Portfolio Managers (PMs) and the consultant
assigned by the PMs monitor the activities of the
POs as well as COs. Similarly, on periodic basis, the
representatives of the local bodies (DDCs, VDCs and
other line agencies) carry out monitoring visits in the
PAF working areas of the districts concerned.

The PAF central level also carries out monitoring
visits in the districts on periodic basis. Likewise, PAF
Board Members, representatives from line ministries
and representatives from the World Bank carry out
monitoring visits on periodic basis.
Furthermore, PAF has been reporting its progress
against the set indicators on regular basis. For details
refer to Annex 12.
3.2 Results of Monitoring
Data Analysis
3.2.1 Social Re-assessment/
Beneficiaries’ Assessment
A social re-assessment of 40,085 households of the
sample COs which are in three or more than three years
of maturity period was carried out during 2013/14.
The comparative analysis of the social re-assessment
data with the baseline social assessment shows that
household-level assets increased, school enrolment of
children increased, food sufficiency duration of individual
households improved, and construction and use of toilet
increased.
The household-level gross income (from all sources)
of the re-assessed 4,085 households increased by 68.5
per cent in real term. Similarly, the household income
of about 68 per cent of the total households has shown
an increase by 15 per cent or more.
One of the indicators that PAF uses to identify the
targeted population is the food sufficiency level.
Households are divided into four different groups under
this category: hard core poor (those with less than 3
months of food security either via own production or
via other dependable sources of income), medium
poor (those with 3 to 6 months of food security), poor
(those with 6 to 11 months of food security) and nonpoor (those with 12 or more months of food security).
The other is whether the household is from a Dalit or
Janajati community.
The results show that the percentage of households
with food insufficiency of 3 months or less dropped
from 63.9 per cent to 37.2 per cent, with a reduction of
58.3 percentage point, for the CO member households.
This effect is seen stronger for Janajati households.
The percentage of food insecure households among
Janajati households decreased from 56.7 per cent to
18.0 per cent, a reduction of 68.2 percentage point. For
Dalit households, food insecure households decreased
from 85.4 per cent to 35.7 per cent, with a reduction of
58.2 percentage point.

Annual Report 2014
3.2.2 Status of Revolving Fund
A revolving fund assessment was carried out during
2013/14, which shows that the community has been
managing their revolving fund satisfactorily. Revolving
funds have provided an opportunity to the poor to
access funds, otherwise inaccessible, through formal
financial institutions, to initiate income generation
activities. COs are managing and operating these funds
by themselves and are responsible for setting interest
rates and loan payment conditions.
The revolving fund data of 10,328 COs shows that the
fund provided to the COs by PAF has increased by 19.0
per cent, which includes the interest against the loan
taken by its members, community contribution and
funds collected from other sources. Similarly, among
the total CO members (N= 290,783), 93.0 per cent
have accessed the fund at least one time to initiate
income-generating activities. Out of the total members
accessing the fund from the revolving fund, 60 per cent
have used the fund two times or more. The assessment
also shows 87.5 per cent of the total fund has been
invested as loan to its members, and the rest of the
fund is in bank and cash in hand in COs itself.
The assessment also shows that the average rate of
interest on the loan is 9.9 per cent. However, the interest
rate is slightly higher in newer COs. The average rate of
repayment of the loan is 78.4 per cent.
3.3 CO Maturity Assessments
A CO Institutional Capacity Assessment was carried out
during the reporting period. The assessment assessed
the capacity of the COs in terms of various aspects of
institutional development and identified the strengths
and weaknesses of the COs and developed a strategy
for their graduation to enable them to operate in a
sustainable way.
The assessment was done among 12,870 COs against
30 indicators2 and graded into four groups by the sum
of indicator scores (each on a scale of 1–4, making the
maximum total score of 120). Around 12 per cent of
the COs were found fully mature and able to function
without additional capacity building or supervision
support; around 82 per cent of the COs required some
additional capacity building support in managing the
organization or needed further social mobilization
efforts. The remaining COs still needed substantial
handholding for some time.
2
Each of the following six assessment categories has five indicators: (i) social
situation; (ii) economic situation; (iii) capital and resource mobilization; (iv)
coordination, partnership and communication; and (v) good governance and
institutional development; and (vi) capacity building and sustainability.
3.4 Communications, Outreach
and Publications
n Extensive media coverage at the local and
national levels
PAF is giving high emphasis to communications as it is
critical to create demand from beneficiaries to ensure
transparency and foster partnership and learning
across stakeholders.
n Publications of PAF operating guidelines
The PAF communication strategy aims to disseminate
PAF approach, procedure and rules to the
stakeholders, develop the external and internal
communication capacity of PAF, and identify and
develop communication messages for PAF, as well as
disseminate best practices and success stories.
Some of the major activities that were initiated and
continued during the reporting year were:
n Publication of Newsletter 'Jeevika' in both
English and Nepali
n Dynamic web sites constructed and regularly
updated
n Publication of annual reports—both national
and district-based
n Success stories and case collection
n Different interaction meetings and workshops
at the local and national levels
n Orientations programmes and stakeholders
consultations at the local level
n Launching of E-Chautari
n PAF Journalism Award for excellent reporting
on poverty issues
Since PAF work has now increased its coverage
and depth, there is a growing need to generate
greater awareness based on the results. A proactive
communication and outreach strategy will be
highly important in this regard. PAF will work with all
stakeholders to keep them abreast of the important
developments and disseminate information at national
and international forums.
3.5 Grievance Handling in PAF
Since 2013, PAF has been developing a grievance
handling system to record and respond to complaints
on its practices, policies and procedures at the centre
as well as at the grass roots level.
A concept note of PAF grievance handling mechanism
was developed and a subcommittee of the board
members was also formed to oversee and supervise
the grievance handling system. PAF has developed
Annual Report 2014
25
direct e-mails to the Vice Chairperson, Executive
Director and the Programme Chief in its website. It
has already installed a suggestion box at its central
office. All complaints coming from direct e-mail to the
Vice Chairperson, Executive Director, website e-mail,
or telephone, or any other means are recorded and
registered in a complaints register, with the updated
status of the complaint and remedial actions taken.
26
Annual Report 2014
So far, complaints have been made regarding field-level
misuse of PAF fund, activities of PO, exclusion of hard
core poor and selection of POs in the districts, among
others. PAF Programme Division Chief directly oversees
all grievance-related activities.

PARTNERSHIP AND COLLABORATION
PAF gives top priority to partnership and
collaboration
with
different
agencies
(governmental and nongovernmental) at both
central and district level. The different partnership
and collaboration efforts are discussed below.
the understanding, a series of meetings were held
between PAF and District Agriculture Development
Offices and District Livestock Development Offices.
4.1 Partnership with MoFALD
PAF and United Nations World Food Programme (WFP)
signed an MoU on August 30, 2010 for a strategic
alliance to alleviate poverty and food insecurity in the
Mid and Far-Western Hilly and Mountain regions.
The Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development
(MoFALD) and PAF, on October 8, 2010, signed an MoU
for a strategic alliance to alleviate poverty through
synergic efforts between the two institutions.
The MoU has helped to increase coordination and
linkages during project planning, implementation,
monitoring, reporting and review while implementing
targeted poverty alleviation and empowerment
initiatives at the local level. As part of the MoU, PAF is
closely involved in coordination with the District Social
Mobilization Committees (DSMCs) at DDCs for social
mobilization and programme monitoring. All subprojects of targeted communities are presented at VDC
Council and later endorsed by the DSMC and District
Council. Based on this agreement, all PAF programme
districts have been working closely with the DDCs
concerned.
During the reporting year, district review meetings were
conducted in all PAF programme districts. As part of the
MoU with the Ministry, COs are enlisted with the VDCs
concerned and CO’s programmes are endorsed by the
ward citizen forum concerned and acknowledged by
the VDC Council meeting.
4.2 Partnership with MoAD
The Ministry of Agriculture Development (MoAD)
and PAF signed an MoU on January 30, 2013 for a
strategic alliance to alleviate poverty through technical
backstopping on agriculture and livestock extension
services. As per the MoU, PAF is providing income
generation and infrastructure support grants to the
COs/groups for continuity of programme, while the
Ministry mobilizes its networks to facilitate them. After
4.3 Partnership with WFP
Following the MoU, some initiatives have been taken
to implement community infrastructure sub-projects,
in which WFP has provided vital food and nutrition
assistance equivalent to community contribution.
Some jointly commissioned projects include smallscale irrigation, water harvest tank, cellar store, cash
crop farming, micro hydro and rural agriculture road
and enhanced farming techniques and poultry
farming and other relevant training. A total of 23 small
infrastructure schemes were implemented in Achham,
Dailekh, Humla, Jumla and Mugu districts. Out of the
total, seven are small irrigation, eight micro hydro, four
drinking water schemes and one each is energy mill,
improved ghatta (mill), water harvest tank and cellar
store.

4.4 Partnership with
Heifer and LFLP
Practical Action Nepal, Heifer International Nepal,
Forest, Leasehold Forestry and Livestock Programme
(LFLP) and PAF signed an MoU on July 29, 2011 to
establish synergies in poverty alleviation efforts at the
grass roots and ensure increased opportunities for the
poor and disadvantaged people.
Based on the MoU, capacity-building efforts were
made for poor and disadvantaged people by Heifer
International in Rautahat and Sindhuli districts and by
the LFLP in Sindhupalchowk district. Heifer International
has selected one VDC each in Rautahat and Sindhuli to
build the capacity of CO members in its Cornerstones.
PAF provided revolving funds to the COs, whereas
Heifer provided training and mobilization support. In
Sindhuli district, CO members were awarded the best
prize for excellent work under the support of Heifer.
4.5 Partnership with Helvetas
An MoU was concluded between PAF and HelvetasNepal on February 7, 2011 to work together so as to
enhance the livelihood of poor households. Based on
the MoU, activities such as riverbed farming in Bardiya,
Rautahat and Sarlahi districts and micro irrigation and
drinking water scheme in Kalikot and Dailekh districts
were carried out during the reporting year.
A total of 500 CO households in Bardiya, Rautahat
and Sarlahi districts are involved in riverbed farming.
Helvetas Nepal provides technical support to train local
resource persons and follow-up technical support in
the farming period.
Based on this MoU another understanding was also
signed with LILI/Helvetas and WARMP/Helvetas for
construction of micro irrigation and drinking water
schemes in the common programme districts. LILI/
Helvetas and WARMP/Helvetas will provide support in
technical as well as in community contribution part and
PAF would support the cost of external materials. During
the reporting period, four micro irrigation and two
drinking water schemes were implemented in Kalikot.
Another area of partnership with Helvetas is related
to the employment sector. As per the MoU, PAF CO
members can access the training programme from
the Helvetas Employment Fund (EF) programme that
enhances the technical capacity of CO members. After
graduation from training, CO members can start their
own enterprises utilizing the revolving fund at the
CO level or get employment with other employment
providers. Dozens of CO members of Kanchanpur,
Bardiya, Kapilbastu, Pyuthan have benefitted under this
partnership arrangement.

Box: Community Challenge Fund (CCF) Project
The project is a pilot designed to investigate the
role of information and incentives in improving the
health of expectant and new mothers and children
in the age group of 0–2 years (target group for future
reference). The focus of the project is the first 1,000
days of a child’s life. The pilot will cover four districts
(Sarlahi, Sindhuli, Ramechhap and Rasuwa) that have
been selected using the criteria agreed to with the
Ministry of Local Development and based on access
to services (water and sanitation) and nutritional
status. The districts cut across the mountain, Hilly and
Tarai areas of the country. Also, the pilot will be run in
the first instance for 12-18 months.
4.6 Partnership with AEPC
Under an agreement with the Alternative Energy
Promotion Centre (AEPC), PAF and AEPC are working
together in 137 micro hydro sub-projects in 21 districts.

OUTCOMES AND RESULTS
This chapter discusses the outcomes of the some
of major studies relating to PAF results on the
ground.
design of the programme. The PAF Impact
Evaluation (IE) shows that the programme impact
on real per capita consumption growth was 31
per cent over a two-year PAF intervention period.
This is impressive in the context of the same
analysis, which indicates that, in the absence of
the PAF programme, the targeted households
would have recorded about negative 2 per cent
growth. Significant and positive PAF impacts are
also seen in terms of other welfare indicators
such as food sufficiency, child schooling, access
to services and women’s empowerment.
During the reporting year, a few outcome studies were
done, including detailed analysis of the report of the
impact evaluation study conducted by the Centre for
Economic Development and Administration, Tribhuvan
University.
An independent PAF impact evaluation conducted in
six sample and three control districts shows that the
programme impact on real per capita consumption
growth was 31 per cent over a two-year intervention
period. This is impressive in the context of the same
analysis, which indicates that, in the absence of the
PAF programme, the targeted households would have
recorded about negative 2 per cent growth.
The estimated net programme impact on per capita
consumption (in real terms adjusted for price inflation)
growth is 15 per cent for PAF IG participant households,
31 per cent for PAF money recipient households and
42 per cent for those beneficiaries who have received
money for at least six months. The net impact on
growth in per capita consumption is even higher for
Dalit and Janajatis and for the poorer segments of the
population, implying programme’s ability to distribute
growth towards the targeted groups.
The evaluation data shows a 10 percentage point decrease
in the incidence of food insufficiency and 6 percentage
point increase in school enrolment rate for children
aged 5–15 years. The programme effect is also seen in
access to services (agriculture centres, community forest
groups, farmers' groups) and women’s empowerment.
For child malnutrition (stunting, underweight) a higher
positive impact is seen for children in the age group of
1–2 years amongst PAF-supported households.

2.
The IE has been a long-term partnership between
the PAF Secretariat, Tribhuvan University, which
carried out the surveys, and the WB task team,
which provided technical assistance during the
design phase and carried out the analysis. Data
for the PAF IE comes from two rounds of survey of
3,000 households from 200 villages. The baseline
was carried out in late 2007 and the follow-up of
the same households in early 2010. The survey
questionnaire is adapted from the Nepal Living
Standards Survey (NLSS) and includes detailed
information on consumption and income,
socioeconomic and demographic issues, including
education, health and nutrition, housing conditions
and physical assets, migration and remittances,
employment, social environment, community
relationship, voice and participation. For
comparability with the national household surveybased welfare measures, PAF survey includes a very
similar consumption module and follows the same
consumption aggregation method. The IE analysis
uses panel households (2,774 out of 3,000), half of
which are PAF beneficiaries (treatment) and the rest
non-beneficiary (control) households. Outcome
indicators on PAF beneficiary households and
carefully matched non-beneficiary households
are compared for the periods before and after the
initiation of the PAF programme. This method is
known as difference-in-difference combined with
propensity score matching. The estimated net
programme impact on per capita consumption
(in real terms adjusted for price inflation) growth
is 15 per cent for PAF IG participant households,
31 per cent for PAF money recipient households
Annual Report 2014
29
and 42 per cent for those beneficiaries who have
received money for at least six months. The net
impact on the growth in per capita consumption
is even higher for Dalits and Janajatis and for the
poorer segments of the population, implying the
programme’s ability to distribute growth towards
targeted groups.
3.
Both the GoN and the WB agreed that the
findings of the rigorous IE provide important
contribution to results-based decision-making
and an assurance to all stakeholders that the
PAF programme is a very sound investment in
poverty alleviation. These findings have been
discussed with high-level policy-makers from line
ministries, the National Planning Commission
(NPC), the Office of the Prime Minister and Council
of Ministers (OPMCM) and with the Development
Partners (DPs). It has been agreed that the
independent impact evaluation process would
continue on the same sample to observe longterm impact of income-generating programmes
as well as community infrastructure initiatives.
Welfare Effects
5.
IE results show a significant increase in real per
capita consumption of PAF households. Based on
a sample of households drawn from six of the 19
30
Annual Report 2014
PAF districts in Phase II, the results show that the
households who received PAF money for at least
6 months saw their real per capita consumption
increase by more than 42 per cent. The IE results
show an encouraging trend in PAF’s ability to reach
its targeted group as well. While the real per capita
consumption increase for Dalits and Janajatis was
30 per cent, the increase was about 16 per cent
for the three poorest quintiles of households, as
measured by the baseline survey of 2007.
5.
Impact on other welfare indicators is also
positive and significant. The data shows a 10
percentage point decrease in incidence of food
insufficiency and 6 percentage point increase in
school enrolment rate for children aged 5–15.
The programme effect is also seen in access
to services (agriculture centres, community
forest groups, farmers' groups) and women’s
empowerment. For child malnutrition (stunting,
underweight) a higher, positive impact is seen
for children in the age group of 1–2 years
amongst PAF-supported households. There are,
as yet, no significant differences evident between
treatment and control groups on indicators
associated with community/social capital (trust,
respect, relationships between different ethnic
groups, community disputes, etc.), although the
overall trend for both groups is positive.
Targeting
6. The impact results are consistent with the PAF’s
objective of targeting the poorest households
and support monitoring data results as well.
Of the many criteria that PAF uses to classify
the poor, one is the level of food sufficiency.
Households are separated into four different
groups under this category: hard core poor
(those with less than 3 months of food security
either via own production or other dependable
sources of income), medium poor (those with 3 to
6 months of food security), poor (those with 6 to
11 months of food security) and non-poor (those
with 12 or more months of food security). The
results show that the percentage of households
with food insufficiency of 3 months or less
dropped from 13.8 per cent in 2007 to about 5.5
per cent in 2010—a reduction of more than 60
per cent—for the PAF beneficiary households
(defined as those engaged in PAF-supported
income-generating activities). The reduction was
only about 6.8 per cent for non-beneficiaries.
Similarly, the percentage of households with
food insufficiency of 6 months or less decreased
from 40 per cent in 2007 to about 33 per cent
in 2010—a reduction of about 17.5 per cent—
for PAF beneficiary households. There was no
reduction for non-beneficiaries during this
period, and, in fact, there was an increase in food
insufficiency of these households by about 9 per
cent.
Access to and Use of Services
7. With the second phase of PAF II still ongoing,
poor households with access to improved
infrastructure facilities number more than 49,000.
The IE results show that the school enrolment
rate for children from households engaged in
PAF-supported income-generating activities
increased by more than 10.5 percentage points.
The enrolment rate was even higher for children
from Dalit or Janajati households. In contrast, the
number was only about 4.4 percentage points
for the control households (or those not involved
in such activities). While there was no obvious
difference between the PAF beneficiaries and the

non-beneficiaries in the use of health services/
facilities, the beneficiary households were found
to be making more use of agricultural centres,
community forest services and farmers' groups.
The increased use of such services supports the
monitoring data findings that PAF beneficiaries
are investing in agriculture-related opportunities
and reaching out to service providers to improve
and develop these investments.
5.2 Performance Audit Report (2012)
The Office of the Auditor General has conducted a
comprehensive Performance Audit in five programme
districts (Sindhuli, Rautahat, Dadeldhura, Pyuthan and
Siraha) covering 125 COs and 300 CO members in 2012.
The study has shown that the PAF programme has
covered mainly poor communities and the programme
was selected and implemented in a participatory way.
Participatory decision-making process at the community
level has increased the feeling of community ownership
and transparency of work. Also, the CO members have
stated that they have raised their income and savings
after the implementation of the PAF programme. The
study shows that the community-based revolving fund
was used in income generation-related activities and
the loan was provided to individual CO members only
for their benefit through collective decisions.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
6.1 Financial Planning and
Management
PAF Financial Management System consists of
three pillars, namely Financial Planning, Financial
Management and Financial Reporting. Financial
management is directed by the Applicable Accounting
Standards, which is accepted by both the GoN and
the World Bank. It also fulfills the requirements of POs.
Financial Management System of PAF is governed by its
Financial Management Manual.
PAF accounting system is based on cash basis. It
maintains all books of accounts relating to receipts and
expenditures. PAF maintains its books of account on
computerized accounting software, Fin App. III.
For effective implementation of PAF activities and
monitoring of documents, regular auditing is done by
internal and external auditors. M/S Kuber and Company
was assigned as internal auditor for FY2069/70 and
FY2070/71. Similarly, external audit is carried out by the
Office of the Auditor General.

For effective planning and monitoring of funds, PAF has
signed separate MoUs with Rastriya Banijya Bank (RBB)
and Nepal Bank Limited (NBL). PAF has opened main
accounts and, along with main accounts, separate
bank accounts are opened for PAF operating expenses
and for programme expenses. Also, RBB and NBL have
opened an operating bank account for each CO in the
districts concerned.
PAF prepares Implementation Progress Report (IPR) on
a trimester basis for review by internal management
and reporting to the World Bank. The report comprises
different sections, including brief description of
project progress. The IPR is the comprehensive report
that includes various reporting formats, which cover
financial, physical progress, contract expenditure and
procurement information. The report 2A discloses the
information on sources and uses of funds. Likewise, 2B
is for reconciliation statement of designated account
and the projection for the forthcoming trimester.
Review of physical progress section provides all

CHAPTER
LESSONS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
7.1Lessons
PAF’s current initiative to build the community’s
capacity to manage revolving fund and operate the
sub-projects and raise the awareness of the community
through functional literacy will be further intensified.
Social mobilization will be given high priority for this.
Considerable input will be given to establish COs’
linkages with basic health, education and youth training.
Provisions for innovation and special programmes will
be renewed and emphasis will be given to replicate
and scale up successful innovations. PAF will continue
its efforts to explore alternatives to livestock and
agriculture-based activities for the landless poor.
As PAF is maturing, technical assistance for activities
under high demand needs to be provided regularly
and attention should be paid to the quality of service
providers. This is an important factor in ensuring that
efforts made by communities are sustained and serve to
bring them permanently out of poverty. A new system
of PO performance evaluation with involvement of COs
has been going on for the past two years. This process
will be further improved in the days to come.
Efforts will be given to increase collaboration with
the private sector, governmental agencies, local
governments and donor agencies at all levels to
implement the programme and sub-projects in the
communities to bring marked impact in considerably
less time by complementing and supplementing
each other’s effort. MoUs were signed with different
organizations to facilitate collaboration. PAF’s efforts
will be to materialize them in implementation to
benefit the poor while exploring further collaborative
efforts in the future.
Increased governmental and civil society ownership in the
programme will be achieved by regularizing productive
workshops, reviews and coordination meetings with
stakeholders at central, regional and district levels. In
addition, monitoring and supervision visits by central
level and district governmental agencies, DDCs, VDCs, civil
societies, political representatives and journalists in the PAF
project sites will be organized regularly. Besides, central-
7
level monitoring from PMO, NPC, Ministry of Cooperatives
and Poverty Alleviation and other line Ministries will be
carried out.
Community institutionalization is taking place with the
formation of CO federations, multipurpose or single
purpose cooperatives and VDC-wise informal networks
of COs as per communities’ felt need. PAF will accord top
priority to formalizing (and legalizing) these institutional
development processes while ensuring that poor
communities gain maximum benefits from these
institutions. For sustaining income-generating activities
initiated by communities, important initiatives will be
taken to establish linkages with financial institutions,
market as well availability of insurance safetynet.
Special focus will be put on marginalized castes
while implementing interventions in the district.
Simultaneously, pocket area interventions will be
synchronized in the potential pockets.
PAF is working with its exit strategy focusing on its
strategic thrust to enable the community to go on a
sustained path to get out of poverty within a stipulated
five or six years of time. In this line, PAF will work on
the pocket area development approach by building
on the potential strengths of the area. At the same
time, special support will be provided to poor and
marginalized communities to secure their livelihood.
Moving ahead, PAF will pay increased attention to
research and development, monitoring processes
and outcomes, improving financial management and
capacity building of COs, POs, local bodies and PAF.
7.2Challenges
In view of the wide variety of activities undertaken
within the sub-project, the challenges faced in ensuring
sustainability of sub-projects include the linkage with
market for sustaining income-generating activities
as well as the availability of insurance safetynet,
particularly for livestock. PAF is also to explore an
alternative to livestock-based activities for the landless
poor as the huge demands are mainly livestock-related.
Another important issue before PAF is to build the
community capacity to manage revolving fund and
Annual Report 2014
37
operate sub-projects and raise the awareness of the
community through functional literacy. Also, there
is a need to adopt different approaches for poorest
districts and districts with greater access and livelihood
opportunities and special support to vulnerable poor,
backward ethnic groups such as Mushahar, Dom,
Chamar, Raute, among others.
7.3 The Future Strategy
Based on the lessons learned, PAF is now working on
the expansion of its programme to new VDCs and
38
Annual Report 2014
districts, and important initiatives are being taken
for the institutionalization of COs as cooperative or
other forms of institution as per their decision and
link with financial institutions and markets where the
programme is already in implementation. Also, PAF is
laying special emphasis on the capacity building of
COs, POs and PAF while coordination and collaboration
are being accorded high priority. This year onwards
PAF is strengthening its grievance handling process
with stakeholders’ views on the effective Performance
Management System of COs, POs and the PAF
Secretariat.

Annex 19: Summary Results of Follow-on Impact Survey 2010
Poverty Alleviation Fund
Monitoring and Impact Evaluation Results
1.
PAF’s monitoring data is developed on 5 different databases which support the process of working with
partner and COs and monitoring the sub-project activities (figure 1). These databases provide a rich source
of information on PAF activities and have been increasingly analysed to improve planning and address
weaknesses in the project implementation process and to identify areas of strength that can be scaled up.
2.
In addition to the MIS, an independent impact evaluation has also been integrated into the design of the
programme. The IE has been a long-term partnership between the PAF Secretariat, Tribhuvan University
(TU) (that carried out the surveys) and the WB task team (that provided Technical Assistance-TA during
the design phase and carried out the analysis). Data for the PAF Impact Evaluation (IE) come from two
rounds of surveys of 3,000 households from 200 villages. The baseline was carried out in late 2007 and
the follow-up of the same households in early 2010. The survey questionnaire is adapted from the Nepal
Living Standards Survey (NLSS) and includes detailed information on consumption and income, socioeconomic and demographic issues, including education, health and nutrition, housing conditions and
physical assets, migration and remittances, employment, social environment, community relationship, voice
and participation. For comparability with the national household survey based welfare measures, PAF survey
includes a very similar consumption module and follows the same consumption aggregation method. The
IE analysis uses panel households (2774 out of 3,000), half of which are PAF beneficiaries (treatment) the rest
non-beneficiaries (control) households. Outcome indicators on PAF beneficiary households and carefully
matched non-beneficiary households are compared for the periods before and after the initiation of the PAF
programme. This method is known as difference-in-difference combined with propensity score matching.
Consumption Effects
1.
The estimated net programme impact on per capita consumption (in real terms adjusted for price inflation)
growth is 13% for PAF income-generating (IG) participant households, 28% for PAF money recipient
households and 49% for those beneficiaries who have received the money for at least six months. It is not
a surprise that these impact estimates are larger for money recipients but it is interesting to note that this
effect remains strong for those who have had the funds for some time and have invested them in IGAs. The
magnitudes of these estimates are impressive across all three categories of treatments both in terms of per
cent change and absolute change. For example, money recipients for more than 6 months recorded on net a
49 per cent growth and Rupees 6,900 (approximately US$100) absolute change in real per capita consumption
in just over two years of time. These results are all statistically significant and robust across different matching
algorithms. The higher levels of welfare impact over time may suggest that IGA revenue is contributing to the
welfare of these households, a result that would be desirable from a policy and sustainability point of view.
2.
The net impact in the growth in per capita consumption is even higher for Dalit and Janajatis, implying the
program’s ability to distribute growth towards targeted groups. The net effect for money recipients among
this caste/ethnic group was an increase in real per capita consumption of 34 per cent, compared to 28 per
cent for the overall sample of the same treatment category.
Food Security Effects:
1.
Chronic food insecurity is a particularly important concern in Nepal and substantial amount is spent per year
on public works programmes aimed at alleviating hardship for food insecure households. Sustained food
price inflation remains a concern and an estimated 3.7 million people are currently food insecure. The impact
of high prices and food insecurity is most severe on economically, geographically and socially marginalized
communities. Since Nepal’s poorest households spend more than 75% of their income on food, high prices
will continue to affect poverty alleviation efforts. The analysis estimates that the net PAF impact on incidence
of food insecurity (as defined as self-reported food sufficiency for six months or less) is 10 percentage points

decline when the treatment group is PAF money recipients, and 14 percentage points decrease among
money recipients at least 6 months prior to second-round survey. These effects are stronger for Dalit and
Janajati households. However, there is no impact for PAF IG households (the base treatment category),
possibly implying that the self-reported food sufficiency indicator (measure of perceived change in
household’s ability to increase their food consumption) is not affected by PAF participation alone when the
household is yet to receive funds and start an IG activity. Once again, these results are quite robust across
different matching alternatives.
School Enrolment Effects
1.
Due to PAF, school enrolment rate among 6-15 year old children increased by a net 7 percentage points
for PAF IG households, by a net 9 percentage points for PAF money recipient households, and a net 12
percentage points for PAF money recipients for more than six months. These are all notable and statistically
significant impacts. While child education is not a direct outcome associated with PAF intervention, one
can think of at least two ways by which a treated household would change its behaviour in relation to this
outcome. First, PAF households are part of the larger PAF community organization (CO) are and likely to
benefit from social-networking and mobilization. Second, actual and perceived positive change in income
(PAF funds) will likely reduce potential constraints to sending a child to school.
Child Underweight Effects
1.
For child malnutrition, measured in terms of underweight, the impacts of PAF are as not strong as they are
for other outcome indicators. Nevertheless, incidence of underweight among children under 5 years of age
is estimated to decrease by 5 to 10 percentage points. The results are however not statistically significant
and also do not hold across different matching techniques and across multiple treatment groups. We take
this as a sign of overall trend in the right direction and could see significant effects in the next couple of
years.
Other Effects
1.
There are, as yet, no significant PAF impact evident on indicators associated with community/social capital
(trust, respect, relationships between different ethnic groups, community disputes, etc.), although the
overall trend for both groups is positive. Similarly, while there is no significant impact of PAF programme on
the use of health services/facilities, the effects are qualitatively positive on the use of agricultural centres,
community forest services, and farmers' groups.
Targeting
1.
The targeting results are consistent with PAF’s objective of targeting the poorest households and support
monitoring data results as well. Of the many categories that PAF uses to classify the disadvantaged, one
is the level of food sufficiency. The other is whether the household is from Dalit or Janajati caste/ethnicity
category. For example, the probability of being selected as PAF money recipient goes up by 25 percentage
points if you are from a Dalit/Janajati household. Similarly, one per cent decrease in per capita consumption
at the baseline is associated with 15 percentage points increase in the probability of being selected for PAF.
2.
The impact results are also consistent with PAF’s targeting the poorest households. Among other categories
that PAF uses to classify the poor, one is the level of food sufficiency. Households are separated into four
different groups under this category: hard core poor (those with less than 3 months of food security either
via own production or other dependable sources of income), medium poor (those with 3 to 6 months of
food security), poor (those with 6 to 11 months of food security), and non-poor (those with 12 or more
months of food security). The results show that the percentage of households with food insufficiency of 3
months or less dropped from 13.8% in 2007 to about 5.5% in 2010, a reduction of more than 60%, for the
PAF beneficiary households (defined as those engaged in PAF-supported income-generating activities).
The reduction was only about 6.8% for non-beneficiaries. Similarly, the percentage of households with food
insufficiency of 6 months or less decreased from 40% in 2007 to about 33% in 2010, a reduction of about
17.5%, for PAF beneficiary households. There was no reduction for non-beneficiaries during this period and
in fact, there was an increase in food insufficiency of these households by about 9%.

Annual Report 2014
Access and Use of Services
1.
With the second phase of PAF II still ongoing, the number of poor households with access to improved
infrastructure facilities has reached more than 49,000. The impact evaluation results show that the school
enrolment rate for children from households engaged in PAF-supported income-generating activities
increased by more than 7 percentage points. The enrolment rate was even higher for children from Dalit
or Janajati households. While there was no obvious difference between the PAF beneficiaries and the nonbeneficiaries in the use of health services/facilities, the beneficiary households were found to be making
more use of agricultural centres, community forest services, and farmers' groups. The increased use of such
services supports the monitoring data findings that PAF beneficiaries are investing in agriculture-related
opportunities and reaching out to service providers to improve and develop these investments.
Conclusions
1.
The evaluation results indicate that there is a positive and significant impact on household level welfare due
to the PAF programme relative to any other poverty reducing efforts that may be ongoing at the same time.
The results further indicate that the programme is an effective tool for targeting the population considered
most vulnerable in terms of caste and ethnicity as well as most food insecure. There are many process-related
questions that this impact evaluation does not yet answer. For example, a review of the monitoring data
suggests that women groups are far more diversified in livelihood activities that mixed groups. Impacts on
women only groups would need to be analysed further as should the previously related positive indication
of nutritional impact on children under 5 years of age.
2.
The household-level panel data provide an opportunity for further analysis over time which may help us
understand changes in poverty dynamics and for further counter factual analysis of the outcomes reported
in this paper. As such, a continuation of the survey methodology and of the impact evaluation analysis
would be an important tool for policy makers and for the implementation of the poverty alleviation fund at
the national level.
