Notat 1
Det var ingen kostnader forbundet med revisjonsaktiviteter utført i løpet av 2010. SIA ble etablert i 2009 og
regnskapet for dette året inneholdt ingen prosjekter. Budsjettet var begrenset. SIAs regnskap for 2009 ble
godkjent av revisoren. Overvåking av SiAs partner (SHIAO) for HUA prosjektet i 2010 ble gjennomført
kontinuerlig gjennom hele prosjektperioden av SIA, med formelle sjekkpunkter på månedlig basis. Revisjoner
i feltet i regi av SIA Norge som var planlagt ved to anledninger måtte avlyses på grunn av sikkerhetsrisikoer
(bombing hendelser i Jalalabad, bortføring av utenlandske NGO ansatte i regionen, og flom). HUA prosjektets
hjembaserte klasser og SHIAOs virksomhet i Afghanistan ble likevel gjennomgått to ganger i løpet av året av
Departementet for Økonomi og Utdanningsdirektoratet, Nangarghar provinsen og funnet å være av en
akseptabel standard for utdanning og drift. Aktivitetene ble godkjent for videre drift. I tillegg, ble SHIAOs
hjembaserte skoleklasser inspisert ukentlig av SHIAOs personell. Periodiske rapporter ble sendt fra SHIAO til
SIA på månedlig basis.
Note 1
There were no costs associated with audit activities conducted during 2010. SIA was established in 2009 and
the accounts for that year did not include any projects; the budget was limited. SIAs accounts for 2009 were
approved by the auditor. Monitoring of SIAs partner (SHIAO) in the field for the HUA project in 2010 was
conducted continuously throughout the project period by SIA, with formal checkpoints on a monthly basis.
Audits in the field by SIA Norge that were planned on two occasions had to be cancelled due to security risks
(bombing incidents in Jalalabad, kidnapping of NGO foreign staff in the region, and floods). The HUA project
Home Classes and SHIAO activities were nevertheless reviewed twice during the year by the Ministry of
Economics, Afghanistan and the Education Directorate, Nangarghar Province and found to be of an acceptable
standard for Education and Drift. The activities were approved for continued operations. In addition, SHIAO's
home-based school-classes were inspected weekly by SHIAO's personnel. Periodic reporting from SHIAO to
SIA was practised monthly.

Audit by SIA Norge planned on two occasions had to be cancelled due to security risks
(bombing incidents in Jalalabad, kidnapping of NGO foreign staff in the region and floods).
The Home Classes and SHIAO office activities were nevertheless reviewed twice during the
year by the Ministry of Economics, Afghanistan and the Education Directorate, Nangarghar
Province and found to be of an acceptable standard for Education and Drift. The activities
were approved for continued operations.
SHIAO’s own staff inspected the home classes on a weekly basis.
Note 2
To reduce risks associated with potential motor engine failure during dangerous situations
in Nangarhar, a car of good standard was hired for the HUA project, instead of purchasing a
used car in a poorer condition.
Note 3
Instead of purchasing PC's, Daglig leder, SIA donated privately used PC equipment.

% of girls who received at least 3 months home schooling
and who learned to read and write during 2010?
78%
How did SHIAO test whether the girls were able to read and write?
Testing for reading:
When monitoring team visited different home-based schools in different districts of
Nangarhar province; they found that out of 30 students while asked 25 were responsive and
their reading skills was good enough to read simple sentence with all the accuracy in
reading from the textbooks. Therefore based on this fact we can say that 83% of the
students were able to recite the text from the books and boards and to collectively
pronounce the words in the right and meaningful pronunciation. The students showed
interest and majority seemed very satisfied to master their skills in future gradually and
regularly attend the home-base classes to be able to read and write.
Testing for writing:
It is crystal clearer that writing skill is more difficult than reading as it is the basic skill the
students learn. During the monitoring visits of different home-based schools in different
districts of Nangarhar province; they found that out of 30 students 22 were able to write
small sentences and do some basic calculation of addition and multiplication. Thus based on
this fact we can say that 73% of the students were able to write words on boards and in
their notebooks or to structure simple short sentences in a right and meaningful way.

How many girls received basic health education

The project provided basic health
education to 320 girl students of
Rodat, Batikoot and Dehbala Districts
in Nangarhar province.

How did SHIAO check that the health education led
to practical hygiene improvements afterwards?
We continuously inspected that 320 students in Rodat, Batikoot and
Dehbala communities girl students took part in getting education
regarding the topics of (health, math, women rights, drawing, Islam,
Pusht and sport) raising the education level of these female students.
It was very interesting that when SHIAO staff arrived to villages and to
see the classes the local youngesters raun to their homes and shouted
out saying boohoo the doctors come to our village! Once asked from a
father by the name Ahmad jan from (village Khesarak District Rodat )
of a student if why these students call us the doctors he said “Before
setting up of home-based classes our people were not caring about their
hygiene for example they were eating unripefruit, they were not familiar
with the using of bathrooms, washing their hands after getting the bath,
used to eat food with dirty hands, not change their clothes for weeks
and weeks as in the result our children, men and women were always
suffering from different ailments like diarrhea, malaria, dysentery, fever
etc….

How did SHIAO check that the health education led to practical
hygiene improvements afterwards?
After attending the home-based classes they now use and put on their
children mosquito nets to prevent malaria and other insects bite. They
wash their utensils and put upside down on the bed to dry under the
sunshine and put nets on the vegetables to avoid contamination. This
is entirely because of the home-based schools impact where the local
people learned a lot of new things regarding the health as in the result
many diseases are also reduced or diminished. Therefore this is the
reason why our people call you the DOCTORS.

How did SHIAO check that the health education led
to practical hygiene improvements afterwards?
One day I had diarrhea and went to the bathroom without wearing
shows while returned I laid in the bed. when my daughter saw me she
said to her mother” that “My father will never recover because of our
teacher has told us that when we go to get bath we should wear shows
because there are small cracks in our feet if we do not wear the shows
in the bathroom then the germs can penetrate through our feet crakes
and make us ill.
Also the teacher has said that when you return from the bathroom you
should wash your hands with soap to clean your hands. There are
small germs on our hands and when we eat food with the dirty hands
these germs can enter our body through the mouth with food and make
us sick. This is the reason why my father will not get better and see
his nails are also big enough full with the dirt. The dirt and germs hide
under these big nails and when he eats food these germs under his
nails get to his stomach and has made him sick”.

How did SHIAO check that the health education led to
improvements in the students’ homes afterwards?
SHIAO staff always hold discussions with the student’s parents and
seek the immediate and long-term impacts of the project activities
when they go on monitoring visits to the field to check the progress of
the home-based classes.
The staff works through the people and locals who regularly come to
the home-based classes to see and make sure if how their daughters
are progressing in studies.
The local people are always talking about the improvements and
changing in the students behavior as they ask their fathers, mothers,
sisters and brothers if how to prevent the diseases and observe the
rules of basic health education in their homes.
The fathers are very satisfied when their daughters tell them how to be
safe from the contagious diseases and how to prevent diseases by
considering simple basic principles of health education.

How did SHIAO check that the health education led to
improvements in the students’ homes afterwards?
For example regarding the prevention of malaria the daughters asked
their fathers and brothers to buy bed nets and use for the prevention of
mosquitoes which spread malaria in the region or if how the ponds
water can contribute for the mosquito’s breeding.
These are the success stories that we always hear from their fathers
regarding the improvements of general health status and changing in
the behavior of home-based school students that we can immediately
effects the results of home-based health education themes covered in
the classes these students are the best preachers to teach their family
members about what they learn in the classes but however distribution
of more training materials like flipcharts silkscreen, pamphlets with the
basic health messages will be of great help to spread the messages in
the community.

Has SHIAO co-operated with the local school authorities, either in
Nangarhar province (Jalalabad) or in the districts, to try to find
places for the home-class girls in normal schools in the same area?
SHIAO is regularly in contact with the local education authority and
drives the project activities in close coordination with them without
whose assistance the project success would not be possible.
SHIAO implements programs through the assistance and coordination
of provincial and district level education authorities to synchronize the
activities. This year We will refer our students to normal Government
Schools.

How many girls dropped out of class during 2010?
Why did they leave?
3 students from home-based schools (Roghano village,
District Rodat) have dropped out during 2010.
The reasons were an engagement, a wedding and a family
restricting further school attendance.
Were the parents of the girls satisfied with the home classes and the
work of SHIAO?
During the interviews conducted with the parents of the home-based schools; they
were very proud of their daughters to learn new things and they emphasised at their
homes and put in practice what their teachers tell them especially regarding to the
health issues. In the new era the parents are very interested to see their daughters to
go to schools and become a nurse, a doctor or a teacher because the people now have
emerged from the conservative era of the past decades. The parents openly talk about
the issues of their daughter’s education and want their daughters along with their sons
to get education and professionals. For instance Stana Gul from Rodat district who is
the father of a home-based school student Shiama said “I want my daughter to be an
educated person and to be trained in midwifery. If she learns the skills she will be of
the service for the whole village and will be able to make a handful of the money to
make a good livelihood for the family. There is a dire need for the female nurses and
midwifery’s in our village as many women die during giving birth or on the way to
hospital before delivery. If she gets the training she will be day-night available to sever
the village women in delivery cases and this will be a good asset for the whole village
and Rodat district”.

How did SHIAO measure the level of satisfaction
of the girls’ parents for the home-classes?
SHAIO staff hold interviews with the parents of individual students and
seek their ideas regarding the problems, suggestions and
recommendations for the home-based schools improvement.
Based on the majority of the ideas that come from these beneficiaries
SHIAO staff make their plans and policies for any new developments
and transitions.
SHIAO staff make a general statistics of public view and give preference
to the ideas which the majority of the beneficiaries recommend.
In addition the local beneficiaries explain the benefits of these schools
and see day-by-day progress from their daughters’ studies and appraise
the skills and knowledge their daughters acquire.
Thus SHIAO staff can assess the general progress of the home-based
school girls based on the feedback from the beneficiaries in the field and
villages.

HUA Prosjekt 2010
Sikkerhetssituasjon

Security
• Security represents the biggest challenge, posing dangers to all
kinds of NGOs in our area of operations - Nangarhar.
• Security is a big threat continuously, especially in the field, where
our staff are particularly in danger.
• The workers, teachers and students at our co-operative partner in
the field (SHIAO) suffer from fairly permanent psychological stress
due to potential dangers.
• The problems are distinct for SHIAO’s female staff and all female
students – females are a particular target for aggressors.
• The local staff (office in Jalalabad) manage to cope well under these
conditions, entirely due to the good relations and good reputation
they have achieved in the community groups at our home-based
school areas.
SHIAO & SIA,

Batikoot, Rodat and Baroo villages
• Working for the females especially in conservative areas, such
as Batikoot, Rodat and Baroo villages, is especially challenging
because the local people have misconceptions especially
regarding the NGOs and foreign aid agencies
• However due to the good relations and support of the local
people, elders and Ulama; SHIAO staff managed to implement
the project properly in these areas, with successful results and
without any single threat from any source.
SHIAO & SIA,
16-05-2011

Transportation
• Due to bad roads, partially inaccessible villages, and insecure
conditions in some of SHIAO’s target areas for the HUA
prosjekt, SHIAO field staff occasionally experience
considerable difficulties in reaching the home-classes of the
remoter areas. The journeys take longer and the vehicle is
often in need of repair either during or after class inspection
trips.
SHIAO & SIA,
16-05-2011

Mines, booby traps, suicides and kidnapping (1)
• Pose threats for all NGO staff in our province, and their vehicles and
equipment in the field.
• Military operations nearby and the constant uncertainty of
potential suicide bombing represent threats to SHIAO’s workers,
both at the field office and when moving into our home school
areas to deliver their services. SHIAO staff need to operate in a
good and peaceful working environment.
• In general the local population has misconceptions regarding both
the military operations and the humanitarian activities which
usually go side by side nowadays in SHIAO’s area of Afghanistan.
• The military operations can easily negatively affect the NGOs’
working system and will almost definitely have an adverse impact
on the NGO staff’s work in the rural districts and villages within
which we operate, despite their best intentions. SHIAO & SIA,
16-05-2011

Mines, booby traps, suicides and kidnapping (2)
• It can be extremely challenging to work in such insecure environments
such as Jalalabad. The very recent shootings and killings of many people in
the local branch of Kabul Bank close to our office is a good example.
• There have been regular incidents of bombings, shootings or serious
injuries in the Nangarhar area during the period from the end of the HUA
project through to Spring 2011.
• In addition, high-level NGO staff are occasionally kidnapped for ransom or
politically motivated reasons. So far none of these kdnappings have
occurred in the districts where SHIAO’s home-based school classes are.
SHIAO & SIA,
16-05-2011

Finding, recruiting and satisfying staff
• It is often difficult to find and recruit qualified female staff.
They are very often afraid to work in the field for security
reasons.
• Salaries and benefits of staff at smaller NGO’s such as SHIAO
do not match other larger NGO’s such as USAID. It is often
difficult to attract qualified and experienced staff to join the
smaller NGOs and Aid agencies.
SHIAO & SIA,
16-05-2011

Incentives for our students
• We recognise that our incentives for female students in the
districts where SHIAO operates should, in addition to books
and stationery, probably also include items such as soap, basic
health kits, shampoo, foodstuffs (biscuits etc.. ) and possibly
other items that may attract even more female students to
attend the classes. This would also encourage certain parents
to send their girls to our school classes.
SHIAO & SIA,
16-05-2011

Local culture, taboos and dangers
• In general, according to local cultural beliefs and taboos, many of
the local people are unwilling to send their daughters to schools,
even to the home-based schools that are conducted in safer
environments.
• We are sure this situation is changing slowly but surely.
• The mentality and perceptual horizons of the locals have been
changing dramatically.
• In some of SHIAO’s more conservative areas they now send their
daughters to be trained in health (doctors, midwives) for work in
the field.
• But it will take time, even decades or centuries, before all the
people are ready to send their daughters to attend schools. SHIAO & SIA,
