PREFACE
It is worth mentioning that this report has been inaugurated with such dynamic
collection of data. The report which is shaped related to Sanayee Development
organization (SDO). This report is of SDO devoted to systematic coverage of
Sanayee Development Organization and activities, Basic concepts and criteria, and
generic and specific supplies of the Sanayee Development organization (SDO).
The contents of the book are organized into an overview chapter, chapter 1 provides a
map of the book together with general explanations and comments on terminology,
manufacturing and particle size. However, most chapters are, as far as practicable, self
contained and cross-referenced, and hence sequential reading is not essential, except
for Chapters which provide general picture of the subject, and should aid the
comprehension of the rest of the book.
The choice of topics for the book has been subject to a number of practical and
judicious considerations to provide a systematic coverage of all aspects of Sanayee
Development Organization (SDO).
No doubt that the report is established by the members of Sanayee Development
Organization (SDO). But I believe we, as engineers, managers and medical
professionals. Sanayee Development Organization was not only educative but also
very interesting. This brief encounter also revealed to me that learning through
practical work is much easier than the theoretical learning process. The project helped
me in two ways, in enabling me to fulfill the requirements for the award of BBA
degree, and also provided me the opportunity of gaining the real world experience.
I not only gleaned invaluable knowledge, but also learned how to apply what I had
already learnt to real life situations. Time and again, it was driven home to me how
important it is for one to be quick on their feet, and to be ever prepared.

Executive Summary
1997 KELC starts functioning as an Afghan apolitical, not-for-profit, non go v e r n m e n t a l
organization dedicated to alleviating poverty in A f g h a n i s t a n a n d promoting peace and
non-violence. The Board of Directors' members, in their first meeting, name
the organization "Sanayee Institute of Education And Learning (SIEAL), which was later
changed to Sanayee Development Organizatoin (SDO).
SDO implements a vocational training and basic education program for 75 vulnerable
Afghan refugee women living in Peshawar.
SDO assists around 20,000 vulnerable families in Kabul, Ghazni, Herat and Farah
provinces through provision of food and non-food items including flour, ghee, rice,
blankets, quilts etc. Evaluated as "life saving", these projects were financially supported
by Trocaire, NCA and CA. SDO initiates a Basic E ducati on and Awareness Program for
1200 children in various districts of Kabul province through financial support of NC A / ]
A f g h a n i s t a n Program. SDO implements a publication project for 9,000 schoolchildren
studying in Shamshato & Jallozai refugee camps. The project distributes children's
magazine, storybooksand instructional posters financed by AusAID.
Community-based Peace Building:

SDO is one of the few organizations committed to peace building activities in
Afghanistan. SDO’s community-based Peace Building is primarily concerned with
strengthening the role-of local people and their institutions for the promotion of scio-
cultural resources for peace and conflict transformation of their respective communities.
Coexistence Initiative:
SDO directly implemented coexistence program in Parwan province and in Bamyan and
Faryab and helped the partner organizations of UNHCR building their capacity in
community-based peace approaches and skills in 2007. in 2007/2008 SDO actual target
areas were Guldara and Istalif districts of Kabul province where peoples from different
ethnic groups are co-existing. So far, our intervention has had a visible impact on the life
of the people in the target communities: people now can move freely to the neighboring
communities, they attend each other’s wedding and funeral ceremonies and jointly plan
hardware projects which are implemented by another Coexistence partner.
v
Some results:
In 2007 SDO created 5 Youth Peace Councils with altogether around 150 male and
female youth dealing with: identifying and integrating youth trouble makers bringing
forward concerns issues of the youth. Furthermore, they took on responsibility by
deciding a about the use of mini grant: one Youth Peace Council decided to install a hand
pump in the yard of a mosque and proved that youth can play a responsible in Afghan
society.

INTRODUCTION TO THE REPORT
Background of the study
SDO establishes Hadia orphanage center for orphaned boys & girls in Kabul. SDO starts
distribution of monthly magazine, Rangeen Kaman in Heart and Farah provinces. S D O
begins the publication of children's illustrated storybooks focusing on building the
spirit of non-violence, coop erationand brotherhood amongst Afghan children and
youths.
Purpose of the Study
• This report is based on study carried out for the fulfillment of the degree
requirement for the Bachelor of Business Administration at the Preston University
Peshawar Campus.
• This study analyses the operation of SDO NGO in general in Afghanistan, Kabul
where the internship was carried out in particular.

practices based on the analysis and observations in different departments of the
agency.
Focus of the Study
This study is confined to the operations of SDO, in Afghanistan, Kabul and is based on
the 8-weeks internship performed by the internee in different department of the agency.
Limitations of the Study
The vast scope of the operations of SDO is difficult to comprehend and analyze in a short
span of 8-weeks. Thus, the time factor is a major limitation of this study.
1
Another limitation is availability of information at the branch level. The internee could
not procure financial reports about the agency, due to which could not analyze certain
aspects of the agency. Moreover, the internee could not obtain essential data about
competitors, due to which it was not possible to do the desired comparative analysis.
However an analysis based on the overall operations of the agency is made.
Merits of the study
The study done will benefit students in general and business studies students in particular.
The management of the agency can also use the information, which will be useful in their
course of duty and supervision. They can use this report for solving problems faced by
their agency.
Methodology of the study

The data used in this study is of two types i.e. primary and secondary data.
Primary Data
Personal observation of the activities performed in different departments of the

organization and the unstructured interviews with the staff during the entire internship
period were the sources of primary data used in this study.

Introduction to
Sanayee Development Organization (SDO)
History
Welcome to Sanayee Development Organization's (SDO)
Hazrat Hakeem Sanayee (1088 – 1166 A.D.) was one of Afghanistan’s most outstanding
poets. His knowledge of religion, logic, philosophy and literature was cultivated by his
father and his own endless pursuit of life and Islam. As an organization that aims to
provide opportunities to Afghans through education, we named our organization after
Sanayee as a mark of his scholarly and literary achievement and his brilliant knowledge
of Islam.
Sanayee Development Organization (SDO) is an Afghan non-governmental organization
established in 1990 as a small organization with chief aim of rendering educational
services to Afghan people.
To date SDO still has education as a Core Activity. SDO still aims to give opportunities
to Afghan persons and to Afghan Civil Society Organizations through education, skills
training and capacity building. Specifically SDO is working in sectors of Peace Building,
Education, Civil Society Development and Community Health.
"The Ministry of Economics of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan started re-registration of

NGOs in 2005. Sanayee Development Organization SDO was also re-registered under the
name of Sanayee Development Organization SDO. From Oct 2005 SDO will be Sanayee
Development Organization SDO (formerly Sanayee Development Foundation SDO)"

SDO Mission:
SDO contributes to the development of a Peaceful, Developed and Self Sustaining

Afghan Society through Education, Training and other forms of Capacity Building of
individuals, Civil Society Groups and Government staff in the sectors of Peace Building,
Civil Society Development, Education, and Community Health.
SDO Vision:
SDO wants to contribute to the development of a Peaceful, Free and Developed

Afghanistan based upon good Afghan cultural values. We work toward an Afghanistan in
which the population lives in peace, with self-dignity and self sufficiency, and where
people manage their own personal development and the development of the society in
which they live.
SDO therefore undertakes its projects on the basis of self-help of the people concerned,
with proper community participation during all project phases including identification,
formulation, implementation, project maintenance and evaluation. SDO believes that a
society can be holistically developed and prosper when its people are aware and are able
to determine their own destiny, both socially and economically.
People will gain awareness when they live in a civil society and act as responsible
individuals. Because there is a very strong relationship between government and people,
the development and strength of one will enable the development and strength of the
other. This is possible when the government is really representing the people and tries to
benefit them.
The Government can truly represent the people when it is established jointly with the
civil society and then moves forward with it. Sanayee Development Organization (SDO)

endeavors to contribute to the strengthening of this Civil Society and to a positive
relationship between the Civil Society and the Government.

Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative
alternatives to conflict—to violence.

Peace Building
Community-based Peace Building
Conflict Transformation Training:

Since 1999, SDO’s peace building teams have been facilitating intensive workshops in
conflict transformation for both men and women from all walks of society, including
government officials, UN and NGO staff, commanders, journalists, mullahs and
community elders, as well as teachers, students, and repatriating refugees and internally
displaced persons (IDPs).
These highly participatory workshops help participants to identify and understand the
roots of conflicts that occur in their daily lives, and to recognize how personal and group
prejudices contribute to conflict. Participants acquire knowledge in active listening,
empathy, negotiation and mediation. After a typical 8-day workshop, interested
participants establish a local peace council or “Peace Shura,” which initiates conflict
transformation and implements peace awareness activities in the communities covered.
Sometimes the peace post members are also former enemies. In this case special support
and mentoring is provided by SDO facilitators to ensure that the fragile trust-building
process does not collapse after the initial momentum for change has waned. Peace Shura
members and their constituent communities are also encouraged to undertake small-scale
joint projects that would help generate income or benefit for all community members.
The following are some of the workshops offered by SDO to community members and
project partners, and peace workers from other organizations:
>> Introduction to Peace Building

>> Mediation and Problem Solving
>> Community Mobilization
>> Do No Harm
>> Training of Trainers
>> Community Mobilization
>> Do NO Harm
>> Refreshment workshop
>> Hardware project selection
All training materials are designed and adapted respecting the precepts of the Holy
Quran, and values of the Afghan traditions and culture.
Strengthening Local Capacities for Peace:

SDO recognizes that there are many social institutions in Afghanistan that can also
promote peace. SDO also understands the value of strengthening the interest and
capacity of these groups to use their resources and authority for community peace
and welfare. Part of this involves helping local social institutions such as traditional
15
Peace Building
village shuras (councils) to revive and improve indigenous dispute resolution

mechanisms. SDO staff work with key opinion leaders and civil society groups to
develop their own peace building abilities. For instance, one workshop for provincial
leaders in northern Balkh province of Afghanistan was telecasted live throughout the
entire province. In nearby Jowzjan, a peace film was produced and aired by the
director of Jowzjan TV after he attended the workshop, in order to reflect the
consequences of violence through the media.
Other influential community members include mullahs, teachers and village and
district shura members, who are encouraged to incorporate messages of non-
violence and conflict sensitivity into their sermon lessons and decision-making
practices. Peace workers also coordinate with community mobilizers in the National
Solidarity Program (NSP) to integrate principles of peace and social justice into NSP
development work.
Changing Children’s Attitude and Behaviors:

Through its peace building program SDO aims to target the grassroots, not only
schoolteachers, government employees, Mullahs but also children and youth, who
are considered essential actors for peace and reconstruction of Afghanistan.
Therefore, SDO has published ten versions of children illustrated storybooks each
has messages of peace, cooperation and justice.
On top of these, SDO has produced two educational films (“Angel and Devil” and
“Auntie Palmist”) for children with messages of peace, good moral and environment
protection.
SDO is the first Afghan organisation to create movies for children stressing the
subject of peace. The two movies (2004) Devan Pari (“Angel and Devil”) and Khala
Falbinak (“Auntie Palmist”) have been broadcasted several times by Afghan national
TV and are in the hearts of Afghan children. The movies have been watched by more
than 70,000 children and are highly appreciated by the Afghan community.
Integrating Peacebuilding into “Mainstream” Development Projects:

Finally, SDO peace teams work extensively with project planners and field
implementing staff from other sectors to understand how project design and
implementation processes can adversely or positively affect existing peace and
conflict dynamics in a given project site. Using principles of Do No Harm and Peace
and Conflict Impact Assessment (PCIA), Methods of project implementation are
designed in such a way that will be effective and beneficial for all stakeholders, not
just a privileged few.

claims to be the owner of this rain-fed piece of land by showing a document.
However, Abdul Rasool rejects his claim and says that he had bought this land from
Ghulam Qadir, the father of Ghulam Nabi during the time when he was out of the
16
chountry. As a proof he shows the purchase document of the land and presents the
witnesses who witnessed the transaction. Ghulam Nabi is not convinced by all of this.
Their conflict turns into physical violence and Ghulam Nabi starts to beat Abdul Rasool
and tells him that he is not allowed to cultivate the land. The conflict gets serious.
Eventually, Abdul Rasool decides to refer this case to the district authorities. Meanwhile,
the members of Tagab peace shura (committee) in Rabat Sangi district are informed
about this conflict and they come to intervene.
Arbab Aziz, a member of peace shura, encourages the conflicting parties to refer their
case to peace shra. The member of the peace shura meets with the parties individually
and convince them to negotiate. The conflicting parties agree to meet discuss their
conflict after a prayer in their local mosque.
When they finally come to the mosque, the members of the peace shura are also present
at the spot. After some initial discussions, they agree to their documents and witnesses.
The member of the Sharua check their documens attentively and find that the documents
of Ghulam Nabi are invalid. His father had sold the land to Abdul Rasool during his stay
in Iran. He knew nothing about the transaction and some dividers in the community
reported that Abdul Rasool’s documents are bogus.
Thanks to the skills of the peace shura members acquired from work of Peace Building
trainers of SDO, though the mediation process moderated by peace shura, Ghulam Nabi
realized that Abdul Rasool was right. They embraced each other and decided to forget

ahs happened and become friends again. They jointly attended a party organized by
Ghulam Nabi. Can you imagine how violent this conflict could turn into if there had not
been a peace shura in Sanagar-e-Sofla village?
SDO’s peace building program (PBP) commenced in 1998 in Pakistan and gradually
evolved. Since 2002 the Peace Building program has been gradually evolving and
17
expanding its coverage to such province of Afghanistan as Kabl, Logar, Hirat, Ghazni,
Farah and Badghis.
During the period from 2006 to 2008, SDO-PBP program, funded by TROCAIRE –
Ireland and Chirsitan Aid (CA) targeted 10 districts in six provinces of Afghanistan:
Mohammad Agha and Pul-e-Alam in Logar, Qarabagh, and Paghamna in Kabul, Karrokh
and Robatsangi in Herat, Jaghatoo and outskirts of Ghazni city in Ghazni city in Ghazni
province (TROCAIRE) supported) and Posht Rud district, Farah and Ab Kamari district,
Badghis province (supported by CA). The direct beneficiaries of the program are 3670
individuals (Peace Shura members), from different ethnicities, including men and women
in the target communities. So far, 128 male and female Peace Shuras have been
established to deal and respond to conflicts in the target communities.
During 2007/08 136 eight-day Peace Building and Conflict Resolution introductory and
299 refresher workshops were conducted for Peace Shura members and the local
government officials to build their capacity to effectively transform conflicts. The peace
education messages were transferred to the public through media, such as radio stations
in target communities. School teachers used SDO’s peace education materials to promote
peace and nonviolence at school level. Additionally, community awareness workshops
conducted for common community members to let them know a about Peace Shuras and
also raise their awareness on conflict transformation.
During 2007/2008 hundreds of conflicts were transformed peacefully including cases on
water, land, heritage, family and neighbor disputes etc within the target changed, and also
the relationships between conflicting groups, have improved considerably.
In 2007/2008 SDO also published the Peace Journal, a monthly magazine. It is used to
reflect the work of SDO in the field and is also an advocacy tool for peace building works
Peace Building It also provides a platform for peace and conflict analysts to express their
in Afghanistan.
views on topics related to peace building and conflict transformation.
Coexistence Initiative
SDO’s activity within the Coexistence Initiative funded by UNHCR focuses on the
reintegration for returnees in their host areas. SDO provides the software component of
the program by conducting Peace Building and Conflict Transformation workshops in the
target through formation of Peace Committees to help transform conflicts.
SDO directly implemented coexistence program in Parwan province and in Bamyan and
Faryab and helped the partner organizations of UNHCR building their capacity in
community-based peace approaches and skills in 2007. in 2007/2008 SDO actual target
areas were Guldara and Istalif districts of Kabul province where peoples from different
ethnic groups are co-existing. So far, our intervention has had a visible impact on the life
of the people in the target communities: people now can move freely to the neighboring
18
communities, they attend each other’s wedding and funeral ceremonies and jointly plan
hardware projects which are implemented by another Coexistence partner.
Youth Out of Conflict

Often involved and even more often afflicted with conflict, but rarely considered as an
important actor is one of the most vulnerable groups of afghan society: the youth.
Together with Norwegian Church Aid (NCA), SDO started Youth Out Of Conflict
program in Kabul and Heart in March 2006 .The project is aimed to support youth and
strengthen their capacities to contribute to the social reconstruction of their country.
The project addresses both social and economical needs of the target beneficiaries. To
build their capacity in conflict management and transformation, there are thee continuous
months of training on peace building for the youth. Here, young members of the society
get opportunity to act self responsibly and learn in practice how to deal with conflict
constructively. Following the training , the youth will be forming youth peace councils
with in their communities. The youth peace councils members receive training on peace
building not only by the beneficiaries of the program and the trainers play a mentoring
role. The Youth Peace Council act as youth representative groups in the community.
They not only resolve conflicts in the community but also are responsible for effective
utilization of their allocated mini grants through designing and implementing small
development projects in their community.
Vocational trainings are delivered to most vulnerable youth. Basically, 50% of the target
beneficiaries
Peace Buildingare receiving the vocational training while the remaining youth are involved
in peace activities. The trainings provide the youth both girls and boys the chance to learn
a skill, with great marketing perspective and make a living through it.
We are glad to see youth acting as committed peace advocates, a potential that can be
underestimated.
Some results
In 2007 SDO created 5 Youth Peace Councils with altogether around 150 male and
female youth dealing with: identifying and integrating youth trouble makers bringing
forward concerns issues of the youth. Furthermore, they took on responsibility by
deciding a about the use of mini grant: one Youth Peace Council decided to install a hand
pump in the yard of a mosque and proved that youth can play a responsible in Afghan
society.
Male youth have been trained in different professions like metal works, artificial flower
making, carpentry or bicycle repairing - professions that give them also good
perspectives on the job markets. 10 female youth have been well trained in tailoring and
some of them have already started working independently. For a larger number of Youth
19
we started 12 literacy, English language and mathematics courses. Additionally, we
established the Peace Message monthly Magazine in Heart, a publication that consists of
youth’s contributions.
Peace Education
SDO and Cooperation fr Peace and Unity CPAU developed a full Peace Education
curriculum (grade 1-12) . SDO and CPAU have taken different steps in order to advocated
for inclusion of peace education in Afghanistan’s national curriculum.
• SDO is currently teaching the curriculum in its basic education centers (36 in
Ghazni and 62 in Kabul province), Youth out of Conflict project in Kabul and
Heart provinces are funded by NCA as supplementary subject.

• CPAU is teaching the curriculum in Wardak, Badakhshan and Kunduz provinces
in different basic education centers.
• SDO has produced a film for children about peace education with technical
support from FKH Media www.fkmedia.com funded by German Development
Service DED. SDO will screen this film in different schools in spring 2007 and
make a survey on what are the students and teaches opinions about the film and
peace education in particular. On the basis of the survey outcome and SDO’s
practical experience, further steps are planned to bring forward the peace
education initiative on the national level. SDO aims at including Peace Education
Curriculum in the national Curriculum to Afghanistan.
Peace Day
An initiative from Afghan Civil Society Organizations Network for Peace
(ACSONPO), which SDO is a member of, the Peace Day was celebrated on 20 th June
2007 all over Afghanistan. The main objective behind this event was to promote the
culture of peace in Afghanistan.
Numerous events were organized in all provinces of Afghanistan to celebrate this
day. In many places arts competitions took place where best poems, films, songs,
books, paintings etc. were awarded prizes. The biggest event took place in the
20
National Sports Stadium in Kabul in which members of the civil society

Community Speaks:
I am Salakhail village, located in one of the remote corners of Shakardara district in
Kabul province. I cater for a number of sub villages in my vicinity too. I have passed
difficult times. I was sad and disappointed because no authority or organization would
come to me and ask my condition. I was worried about the people I accommodated. I was
worried about their health, social welfare, the infrastructure and their need for easy and
comfortable movement during different seasons of the year, and especially, I was worried
about their marginalization from decisions that affected their life. What hurt me most was
to see the division among my children in the names of groups, parties, sects – people that
used to live together! Due to all this, I felt hurt and got many wounds on my body. So,
imagine under what conditions I used to live!
Profoundly thinking about way out of such conditions, I found some sort of mobilization
among the people that indicated solidarity, intimacy and love. They would gather here
and there and discuss the vital issues that could bring prosperity and solidarity to them.
Sometimes they would get too emotional and cry and feel penitent about the mistakes
they made in the past causing distrust, distance and hatred among them.
Gradually and slowly things gained momentum. Participation, commitment,

transparency, equality, efficiency and accountability were the words being echoed by
them. They were discussing how to be a remedy for wounds that had been caused to me.
They planned and executed accordingly. They erected health facility buildings, school
and community meeting rooms; constructed culverts, protective walls, canals, mini dams,
and wells; developed programs for livelihood in the community and by micro hydro
power plants brought more life to me. This way it fell great remedy and this brought hope
into my life.
One could ask how it all happened. My answer would be the National Solidarity
Program. Yes, this program actively contributed and helped me get out of that miserable
condition. I must be thankful to this great initiative. I am so lost in my happiness that l
can not say what achievements the NSP has in other areas.
National Solidarity Program (NSP):

The National Solidarity Program (NSP) is an initiative of the Ministry of Rural
Rehabilitation and Development (MRRD) of Afghanistan. Started in 2003, the NSP is a
23
nation-wide program which aims at empowering rural communities (which comprise the
majority of the population of Afghanistan) to participate in development at the local
level, Community Development Councils –CDCs- are the mobilizing forums where
communities can plan their future and participate in planning for district and provincial
development.
SDO is one of the facilitating partners of the NSP and facilitates this program in Kabul
province. During the first year of program which ended November 2007, SDO was
covering 3 districts, Paghman, Qarabagh and Shakardara. In December 2007 the program
was expanded to four other districts, Mirbacha Koat, Deh Sabz, Chahar Asyab and Estalif
were added to original three districts and in February 2007 four additional districts came
under coverage of NSP (Kalakan, Farza, Guldara, Bagrami). In 2007 SDO implemented
the NSP activities in 11 districts of Kabul.
Quilt Making Project for Vulnerable Women

In order to establish representative and participatory leadership system in Afghanistan the
Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development of Afghanistan (MRRD) in August
2003 took the initiative to commence so called National Solidarity Program (NSP) in all
provinces of the country. SDO is facilitating NSP in three districts of Kabul: Paghman,
Qarabagh and Surobi. As an immediate result of the program Community Developmental
Council (CDC) has established in 24 villages of each target district during the
implementation of the first batch of the program. After the establishment of CDCs in 24
villages of Paghman district, the CDCs identified their basic needs and according to
program they proposed projects to MRRD to address their needs. Beside their proposed
projects to MRRD, SDO secured the financial assistance of NCA and undertook a
livelihood project in January 2004 under the name of “Quilt Making”.
By implementation of this project SDO will provide job opportunities to 1490 widows
and economically weak women. SDO will provide the raw materials for them and each
beneficiary will receive 100 Afghani per quilt. The products (quilts) will be stored with
CDC of each village and according to plan they will design projects for instance; road
Civil Society
repair, Development
Karez cleaning and etc and each labour will get one quilt against three days work.
Hence, the project will further provide 14,900 man-days job opportunities to poor
communities of Paghman district.
Road Rehabilitation in Ghazni
With the financial assistance from UNHCR and supervision or CARE Afghanistan, SDO
implemented Cash for Work project in Ghazni province from October 15 to December
31. Under this project 11 kilometer of a road starting from Qalai Ameer passing Ghazni
city and ending in Qalai Wali of Khogyany district were rehabilitated.
The project mainly were aiming to:

24
1- Provide job opportunities for poor communities, particularly new returnees.
2- Rehabilitate 11 kilometer of the road connecting Ghazni city to Khogyani district.
The project has covered the compaction and leveling of 11 kilometer road, excavation of
3375 cubic meter ditches and construction of 26 culverts, 7 washers and 170 meter
protection wall.
During the course of implementation 7203 labors found job opportunities. Per day each
skilled labor received US$ 10 and each unskilled labor US$ 3. The project was
successfully completed by December 31, 2006.

Civic Education for Civil Society Groups:

War caused a partial collapse of traditional systems of leadership which led to a culture
of individualism and little cooperation among people in the country. There is a
recognized need that newly created civil society actors require transfer of knowledge and
mentoring to be gathered and be empowered as community groups.
To address this SDO with financial support from The Asia Foundation implemented
Civic Education Program on the Law, the Government, and the Civil Society. The main
aim of this program was to deepen the target communities’ understanding about
democratic practices at the grass-roots level through rising through awareness of
democracy and governance in their communities. The main features of the program were
the publication of posters and brochures providing a rather clear vision of democracy,
government and the civil society and conducting awareness workshops on these topics.
An overview of the Projects:

SDO Football Team:
As part of SDO’s strategic sector which is civil society development and support, SDO
established a football in May 2007. the main objectives behind establishing this football
team are:
• To support Afghan youth interested in sports both morally and financially.

• To pave the way for development of sports in Afghanistan.
• To provide external exposures of the team players.
• To give opportunity to team players to be busy in a healthy pastime.
There are 16 paid players in Team A (the main team that plays matches) and 20 volunteer
players in Team B. The players are coached by a paid trainer and managed by a volunteer
manager. They have their regular practices everyday for 90 minutes. They also receive
other kinds of trainings such as psychological trainings, movie shows and other moral
28
lesson. The sessions are organized by SDO and the trainer. The benefiting youth belong
to poor and vulnerable who have been neglected and deprived.
From the inception of this team until 31 Dec 2007, they have had several achievements.
Team A got the first position among 138 teams at national level and qualified for group A
teams of Afghanistan. They have had several other wins against strong teams in
Afghanistan.
In a tournament which took place in Kabul and in which 19 teams from group A
participated. Sanayee Team A obtained the 5th position. A great success, because a
number of strong teams from different provinces of Afghanistan participated in the
tournament.
In order to enable the football players to practice on a regular basis, SDO has built a
football field in one of the schools in Kabul city. This ground is a standard ground and
is a suitable place for the players to practice as per their schedule.
One of their important achievements was their participating in the Homeless World
Cup HWC Tournament in Cape Town, South Africa from 24-30 Sep 2007. Here, in
competition with street football teams from 48 countries (Argentina, Brazil, England,
Holland, Peru, South Korea etc. ) Sanayee Team A obtained 12th position. Eight players
(each street football/foot cell team has 4 players one the field), the coach and the team
manger were participating in this tournament.

The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what
to think.

Basic Education
Nazbibi, a thirteen-year old girl read from her third grade Dari texi book a passage about
personal hygiene to her classmates studying ina local mosque in Starnai village inone of
SDO supported education centers in Dehayk district inGhazni province. Her classmates
seem focused and try to follow the lines of the passage as she reads. Their teacher seems
helpful and encouraging. Students in the class seem enthusiastic and well-motivated.
Hope for a better future in their eyes. Nazbibi plans to become a teacher in future and
teach girls in her village.
They remember dark periods in their village when there was not any education facility of
girls and the demand for education was high. Their village is one of the remotest villages
of this district and the government has not yet been able to establish school for children.
Education Program
Decades of was destroyed the infrastructure of the education system of Afghanistan.
Every thing necessary for the education has been destroyed by the war. The majority of
the schools particularly in the remote areas were burned and the children were not able to
attend classes.
Only 34% of the Afghanistan’s population and only 18% of its women are literate which
is one of the lowest rates in the world. Half of all school-age children do not attend
schools.
Almost for 5 years, Taliban officially closed the schools for all girls and the majority of
the boys’ schools were in a poor condition due to non payment of teachers’ salaries and
most of the teachers left the country or joined other business to earn a livelihood for
themselves and for their families.
31
Education
Sometimes, children were deprived of attending school because their parents could not
afford to pay for their school expenses. They would also work to supplement the income
for their families.
Cultural reasons further prevented girls from attending school. People often did not allow
their daughters or sisters to walk to the nearest school located in neighboring villages,
whereas boys were allowed to walk to the school located in long distances away from
home. All children were affected by a deteriorating security situation which prevented
both girls and boys from receiving education because they could only move in their
village.
To address the needs of children and adolescences, SDO implements Basic Education
program in 6 districts of Kabul Shakardar, Guldara, Istalif, Farzah, Kalakan, and Chahar
Asyb andin Deh Yak district of Ghazni province where children have no access to any
other education facility. The Basic Education Program is a six year program funded by
NCA. The following are the major services provided y SDO through this project during
the year of 2007/08.
• 98 education centers (classes) in mentioned districts in Kabul and Ghazni

provinces were established “3076 children were actively acquiring education.
• 3 education centers of grade six consisting of 90 students were handed over to
government (based on the agreement that SDO would hand over the education
centers to the government in those areas where the government established school
after they complete grade six).
• Upon request of the students, 30 students from different grades were officially
introduced to government schools.
• Tajwar Sultana, Malika Suraya and Nassir Khesro Balkhi schools supported by
providing 300 text books fro grade one, two and three. 1500 Khala Falbinak
books (Aunt Palmist), were distributed to the students of the named schools.
These pictorial books dealing with peace and war topics were developed by SDO.
They are a part of SDO’s publications in the field of peace education.
• To improve the quality of teaching and to upgrade the capacity of the teachers,
SDO conducted the following workshops for teachers.
o Methodology of teaching for mathematics subjects for grade five and six.
o Workshop on homework, its importance in leaning, characteristics and
types of homework.
o Communication and its role in learning, characteristics of a good learner,
principles and skills of communication and its relation to good earning.
o Stages of students’ development based on the education.

Education
SDO will Provide Chair & Tables for Three Schools in Kabul:
On 15th January 2006 a contract signing ceremony was held in Embassy of Japan in
Afghanistan. In this ceremony the contracts of 21 projects were singed between the
Embassy of Japan and different national and international NGOs.
On behalf of SDO Jana Frey, the project development manager signed the contract of a
project entitled “School Furnishing”. Through this project SDO will provide 2340 sets of
chairs and tables for following three schools:
* Hoot Khail High School, Kabul district - 3127 students
* Tangi Saidan Secondary School, Chahardi district - 750 students
* Abdul Hadi Dawei School, Kabul city - 12,000 students
SDF has good experience of School Furnishing projects. In November 2006 SDO
provided 6500 sets of chairs and tables for 10 schools in Kabul city. This new project will
be directly benefiting 15,877 students of said schools.
Learning for Life:

SDO implementing the learning for life (LfL) project during 2007/2008. This project was
supported by United States Agency for International Development USAID through
International Rescue Committee IRC. The project aimed at improving the capacity of
individuals, families , and communities to protect to project their health through
Improved knowledge and health practices by conducting literacy, numeracy, and health
classes so that there are trained candidates for community health workers. SDO
implemented this project in Japhory, Malistan and Jaghato districts to Ghazni province
which are the target areas the Basic package of Health services/ BPHS was implemented.
LfL used a new curriculum developed by the IRC. The focus of this was no health, math,
social and Islamic studies. This curriculum has two levels with many stages in each level.
SDO established 38 centers and trained 950 women in total. 38 facilitators were also
trained and capacitated in participatory and interactive facilitation and teaching
methodologies.
Based on the protocol between SDO and Department of Education in these districts, upon
graduation the eligible trainees meeting the criteria for enrollment to government schools
continued their education in government schools as far as places were available. Under
the Basic Package of Health Services (BPHS) program SDO was seeking female
community health workers CHW’s in these areas. SDO was able to hire literate female
CHW’s amongst graduates of this project.
33
Education
Women Literacy and Hygiene:

SDO implemented the Women Literacy and Hygiene Project funded by UNIFEM in
Khawja Omari, district Ghazni province during 2006. This project targeted 250 women in
rural areas of this district. IRC showed generosity and allowed SDO to use their LFL
curriculum in this project.
The overall aim of the Women Literacy & Hygiene Project was to improve the capacity
of individuals, and communities to protect their health through improved knowledge and
health practices. The specific objectives set to achieve the overall goal were; to increase
literacy and health skills and knowledge among rural women and to increase the number
of literate women in the rural areas.
SDO had similar protocol with Department of Education in these districts. Eligible
trainees meeting the criteria for enrollment to govemment schools where available
comtinued their education while organizations implementing the BPHS in these districts
hired literate female CHW`s amongst graduates of this project.
Vocational Training and Basic Education:

SDO implemented a number of vocational training projects combined with basic
education in 2005/06 in Heart, Ghor, Badghis and Farah provinces funded by Christian
Aid CA and the lntemational Organiztion for Migration IOM. A total of 1724 trainees
(700 female & 1024 male) acquired theory and practice of viable and marketable skills to
earn a meaningful livelihood through center-based and apprenticeship training programs.
Skills were transferred in the fields of automotive repair,
Tailoring and embroidery, construction skills (masonry etc), English language and
computer training, electronics repair, beauty parlor skills, metal works etc. Upon
completion of the training, 80% of our trainees were able to either establish their own
business or work as skilled labor with another business owner. In order to enable trainees
to purchase the required tool kits needed to word with their respective skills they were
provided with micro-credits.

Education
Rangeen Kaman:
Since 1994 SDO has been publishing one of most popular monthly children and
adolescent magazines. Rangeen Kaman (the Rainbow), in Dari and Pashto languages.
The chief aim of this publication is to broaden the knowledge of children and youth on
issues deemed crucial for creating a peaceful and sound environment, in an effective and
entertaining way. Topics include current affairs and famous personalities from
Afghanistan and other countries, as well as Islam, peace, human rights, social conduct,,
good health habits, and education. This publication is funded by CA, Children at Risk,
NCA and SDO.
During the year 2007/08 a total of 100, 00 issues of Rangeen Kaman were published.
Nearly all issues were distributed among children and youth in schools. We estimate one
magazine to be read by two or three children. Thus, 200,000 to 300,000 children and
adolescents have directly benefited from articles and messages.
Here the scenario is given about Rangeen Kama Magazine:

About the Afghan woman driving this project Habiba is a teacher,
entrepreneur, and a leader.

Zahra, a poor woman from Qol-e-Yadgar village in Malistan, which is one of Ghazni’s
remotest districts, suddenly got vaginal bleeding when she was fur months pregnant. She
got really nervous about it since she knew it was a serious case. She went to the basic
health center in Dala-e-Kykak*, where she received proper treatment and got free
medicine. Before leaving the health facility the doctor of the health center advised her to
take rest and avoid laborious work at home. This way, her child was saved from
unwanted abortion.
Zehra remembers a similar situation three years ago when there ago when there was no
health facility in their vicinity and her pregnant sister was struggling with similar
situation (vaginal bleeding). Due to heavy snow the road to district center was not
passable and her sister could not make it to health facility there. As a result, she lost her
four and half months baby in her womb and she was also anemic due to heavy loss of
blood.
Health Sector in Afghanistan

Three decades of war have destroyed the health sector in Afghanistan. The overall health
situation of the Afghan people is miserably poor. According to a study made by Johns
Hopkins University the highest rates of death and disability are among infants, children
and mother childbirth.

Maternal mortality rate (16/1000 live birth), infant mortality rate (142/1000 live birth)
and children mortality rate (210/1000 live birth) are amongst the most serious mortality
rates in the world.
Life expectancy at birth is under 45 years. Over a fifth of all Afghan children die before
celebrating their fifth day, a third of the number die soon after birth and more than half
the number with the first year.
High mortality rates are due to lack of food, poor sanitation and low literacy especially in
women. 75% of the births in Afghanistan were at home and were assisted by unskilled
birth attendants.
The incidence of infectious diseases continues to be a major problem in Afghanistan.
Diarrhea, malaria and other infectious diseases affect million and tuberculosis continues
to be a serious threat. The estimated annual incident for all active TB cases is
333/100000.
__________________________________________
* Dala-e-Kykak is one of the remotest areas of Ghazni province where 10000
people live.
The distance from this village to center of district is about 50 km.
During winter the way to center of district gets blocked due to heavy snow.
Shortage of female health workers particularly in most remote areas adds more to health
problems. Most of the health workers have been employed in big cities. Further, low
community awareness contributes to the high mortality rates.
On the top of the problems mentioned above, cultural restrictions further emphasizes the
need for female health workers as it is considered improper for a woman to be treated by
a male doctor.

The Basic Package of Health Services (BPHS)

The Basic Package of Health Services (BPHS) 2007 is a revision of the BPHS that was
developed, published and distributed by the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) in March
2007. The ministry began to develop the BPHS) in 2002 shortly after establishment of
Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan. At that time, the country faced some of the
worst health statistics ever recorded worldwide.
Therefore in March 2007, the Afghan Ministry of Public Health began a process of
determine its major tasks for rebuilding the national health system and to identify the
health services that would address the most important health problems. The services
should be available to all Afghans, even those living in the remote areas. The
goal in developing the BPHS was to provide standardized of basic services that would
form the core of service delivery in all primary health care facilities.
The BPHS is being implemented all over the country by the support of four main donors
USAID, World Bank, European Commission and the Asian Development Bank.
Each donor supports the implementation of the BPHS in a number of provinces.
The BPHS program has been contracted with international and national Non
Governmental Organization (NGOs) and Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) takes the
stewardship role.
SDO is one the BHS implementing partners that implements the program in four districts
of Ghazni province namely Jaghori, Malistan, Deh Yak and Zanakhan districts. SDO
initially started the implementation in Deh Yak and Zanakhan districts in November 2003
through two Comprehensive Health Centers (CHSs). At the beginning of 2007, SDO
extended its services to Jaghori and Malistan districts. As SDO implanted first round of
the BPHS successfully in Ghazni province, in May 2007 SDO was selected for the
42
Community Health
implantation of the second round the BPHS in the same cluster, Jaghori, Malistan, Deh
Yak and Zanakhan.
As of SDO 2007, SDO was implementing the BPHS in aforementioned districts through
8 CHSs, 6 BHCs (basic health centers), and 205 health post (HPs). Community Based
Health Care, which is the corner stone of the BPHS has been expanded well in SDO
catchment areas. SDO has successfully established 205 health posts so far. Community
Health Worker couples (consisting of one female and one male) are providing health
services and health education to the communities at the village level.
Through this project, SDO was able to increase the knowledge about health in the
communities and to establish strong relationships with the local communities. Both these
factors have assisted SDO immensely in the implantation of the BPHS.
Each health facility and health post has a health committee (male & female) from its
catchment community which provides support to the HFs’ and HPs’ work. There is a
strong referral system which links the community to the different of health facilities.
During the year 2007 the following services were provided through the SDO run health
facilities and health posts:
• A total of 13308 children aged less than 24 months vaccinated against EPI target
diseases (measles, Partusis, Diphtheria, Tatanus and Polio) and total number of
2583 pregnant and 8575 non pregnant women got TT vaccination at SDO run
health through both outreach program (health posts consisting each of one male
and one female community health worker) and fixed centers) CHS and BHC).
• In family planning activities a total of 21711 women and men received
contraceptives at SDO run health facilities and 205 Hps. A total of pregnant
women received antenatal care while 3454 women were provided with postnatal
services.
• A total of 123828 patients received out patient services.
• 115 TB patients under treatment and 17 patients completed TB course of
treatment.
Health education is one of the important components of the BPHS. It is an effective tool
to achieve behavior change among the people of the target communities and to raise the
people’s awareness about important health issues. Therefore, the staff of SDO’s health
facilities emphasize health education. During the year of 2007 health facilities’ staff
passed health education messages to as many clients as possible. A total of 122840
persons attended group health education sessions while 29245 attended individual health
education sessions organized by SDO health facilities’ staff. They got information about
43
Community Health
important health issues such as child spacing, nutrition/malnutrition, hygiene, breast

feeding, immunization, usage of medicines, iodine deficiency disorder, bird flu etc.
The BPHS provides a comprehensive list of services to be offered at four standard levels
of health facilities within the health system: the health post, basic health center (BHC),
comprehensive health center (CHC), and district hospital.
Six national and seven international NGOs are facilitating BPHS in the said provinces.
SDO is also one of the facilitating partner of BPHS. SDO is implementing the BPHS in
two districts of Ghazni Province, namely Deh Yak and Zana Khan.
With respect to this project SDO so far has carried out the following activities:
Establishment of comprehensives health center (CHC) in Zanakhan and Deh Yak districts
Establishment of Basic Health Center (BHC) in Laghabad and Janabad.
The last day of the workshop was the day of preparing action plan. Each participant
prepared an action plan for the development of peace in their surroundings. As an
immediate result four groups under the name of peace volunteers were established. The
peace volunteers pledged to work in the sectors of conflict resolution, reconciliation,
dissemination for peace and personal, family and social correction.
On top of this the provincial administration of Paktia through letter 135, 29-9-1384
requested from home ministry of Afghanistan, USAID and SDO to establish a branch for
peace building and conflict resolution in Paktia province.
The workshop ended on 20th December 2006 by distribution of certificates.

Strategic Plan 2007-2009
2007 witnessed development of a new strategic plan. Previously SDO had been working
based on a written strategy prepared internally in 2004. With increasing discussions about
the role of SDO in Afghanistan, it was felt that the time was ripe to sit with most of the
key staff of SDO and discuss the role that SDO wants to play in Afghanistan during the
coming years and from there also the type of programs it wants to focus on. The wish to
undertake a participatory strategic planning exercise was born.
Two more wishes came up in relation to such a planning exercise:
a) It was felt that through such a participatory exercise all key staff would get a
better feeling about he what SDO is all about; it is vision, mission and priorities.
b) It was deemed important that within SDO the capacity would be built to facilitate
strategic exercises.
With financial support from Christian Aid as part of their partner capacity building
program and with help external consultant from MDF, Holland SDO undertook strategic
plan development exercise.
The Highlights of the strategic plan

The strategic planning exercise was designed in the following four types:
Step1: Study situation and trends in the operational environment of SDO
Step2: Training in and holding of a Strategic Planning Workshop
Step3: Preparation of result indicators and Operational Plan
Step4: Workshop to discuss and decide on result indicators and Operational Plan
SDO Strategies
The strategic Planning Workshop resulted into five priority issues that SDO wants to
address during the coming five years:
1. Expansion of the Peace Building Work

2. Expansion of the income Generating Education projects
3. Improving the attitude of people and government towards NGOs in general and
SDO in particular
4. Getting more qualified staff in all key positions of SDO
46
Miscellaneous
Choice of sectors
SDO chooses to work in the sectors of Peace Building, Civil Society Development,
Education and Community Health and supply the core services as mentioned in the
mission statement above in the upcoming 5 years.
Choice of geographic areas

SDO chooses during the coming five years to continue working in the 7 provinces where
it presently is working: Kabul, Logar, Ghazni, Herat, Ghor, Farah and Badghis. The
peace building activities of SDO may be expanded outside these 7 provinces.
Choice to limit growth
SDO chooses to decrease its annual growth from its present 40% per year to a level of
between 10% and 20% per year.
Advocacy
2007 was also a hectic year for SDO in terms of advocacy. SDO is part of Global Action
Against Poverty GCAP. GCAP Afghanistan Coalition was formed during 2007 and SDO
voluntarily accepted to host its secretariat and be one of its members. SDO along with
coalition members that include national and international organizations as well as
ACBAR which is an NGO coordination body, organized a number of events. Here is a
brief overview of GCAP Afghanistan Coalition:
What is the Global Call to Action against Poverty?

The Global Call to Action against Poverty (GCAP) is the largest anti-poverty coalition
that the world has ever seen- whose organizations together represent more than 150
million people globally. The campaign, bringing, together charities, trade unions, faith
groups, grassroots movements and women’s groups across 100 countries, is aiming to
make a break through on poverty in the world. GCAP is calling on world leaders to honor
their promises as stated in millennium development goals (MDGs) on combating extreme
poverty. More specifically, GCAP demands:
1. More and better quality aid to poor countries of all continents

2. 100% debt cancellation of all poor countries
3. Trade justice
4. Public Accountability
47
Miscellaneous
GCAP Afghanistan Coalition

Afghanistan is also a part of this coalition. In September 2007 over 300 children in
Afghanistan took part in GCAP events – to raise key concerns and issues to world leaders
attending the millennium development goals summit held in New York. These children
flew white kites to help ensure they and their children have greater access to education,
health facilities and are free of poverty. Organized by a coalition of local and
international civil society organizations working in the country, this event- Kites against
Poverty – was the first of its kind in Afghanistan.
Following on from this event, GCAP Afghanistan was again a part of international day to
end poverty- being held on 10 December 2006. On 13 to 18 December the World Trade
Organization (WTO) met for a Ministerial Meeting on trade in Hong Kong. GCAP
coalitions around the world launched a variety of actions to highlight the concerns that
many developing nations have with policies emanating out the WTO. With Afghanistan
currently seeking to become a member of the WTO within the next three years- the
GCAP coalition in Afghanistan launched a Trade Advocacy Group (TAG) to help
facilitate a better understanding on trade and what membership of the WTO will mean of
Afghanistan. This coalition will continue to campaign on issues connected to trade and
issues related to Afghanistan’s accession process.

SDO Capacity Building Department

Capacity Building Department (CSD) is one of the important department of SDO. This
was established for the purpose of building the capacity SDO’s staff to meet new
challenges in their area of work successfully and to provide training opportunity for
organizations outside SDO. CBD is a full fledged capacity building department with five
well-experienced trainers who have got extensive knowledge about modern training
methodologies and techniques.
Lack of capacity in different aspects of development is one of the major issues in
Afghanistan. Unavailability of competent and well-qualified it even more challenging.
Taking this into consideration, during 2006 and 2007 SDO’s Capacity Building
Department contributed greatly and addressed this challenge, 2007 and 2008 were fruitful
and hectic years for CBD. By its interactive ,facilities and unique workshops, this
department addressed the important skills and knowledge gaps both at different
workshops on:
• Management
• Pace Building
• Leadership
• Business Communication
• Project Management
• Conflict Management
• Community Management
• Gender and Development
• Do No harm
• Psychosocial
• Participatory Teaching

From its inception SDO firmly believes and its committed to accountability and
transparency. Annual Financial Audit (AFA) by external and independent auditing firm is
a clear indication of SDO’s commitment to accountability and transparency.
In 2006/2007 on top of regular AFA performed by two different auditing firms, A.F.
Ferguson & Co. a member firm of PRICEWATERHOUSE COOPES, hired by
USAID/REACH/MSH audited SDO finances and accounts. The audit report indicated the
