Emergency Response

As a socially responsible organization, Telenor Pakistan has always responded to the call of natural, man-made and conflict emergencies by targeting specific and un-met needs of the affected. As part of its emergency response program, the company has intervened in cash and in kind including Food Items, Non Food Items, Shelters and WASH facility amounting to PKR 425 million since its inception.

Emergency response remains a central theme in Telenor Pakistan Corporate Responsibility initiatives. To date, Telenor Pakistan, in partnership with government and other organizations such as Pakistan Red Crescent Society, has taken part in emergency response and relief for various disaster situations, some of which include:

  • Contributions of Rs 29 million for Nonfood items and shelter to 700 families in 2015 KPK earthquake
  • Contribution of Rs 20 million for Floods 2014
  • Contribution of Rs 10.5 million for IDP Crises Bannu 2014
  • Contribution of Rs 5.5 million for Tharparker Relief
  • Contribution of 22.5 million for the Awaraan Earthquake 2013
  • Contribution of Rs. 280 million in cash and kind for foods during 2010-12
  • Contribution of Rs.17 million for IDP crisis in Pakistan’s tribal areas
  • Contribution worth Rs.2 million in Attabad Lake incident
  • Contributed Rs.2.5 million towards earthquake in Balochistan
  • Contributed Rs.65 million in the face of 2005 earthquake in northern areas of Pakistan

Telenor Pakistan in 2014 initiated a Beneficiary Communications Project in partnership with Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS). This project uses our core competency to provide an effective SMS-based communication platform between PRCS & the Community in times of disaster which includes location-based opt-in service for subscribers to receive timely messages pertaining to disaster alerts, relief, pre/post emergency awareness and aid disbursement

In times of disaster and crisis, communication with those affected is vital. It allows aid agencies to provide communities with life-saving and life changing information. It helps agencies to manage the demand on their services and to ensure a greater quality of aid delivery. It gives those affected a voice and makes the agencies accountable for the services that they deliver.  Perhaps most importantly of all, it gives hope. Mobile telephony is one of the most effective, direct and timely methods of communication.

However mobile communication with disaster affected communities can be very difficult. Often the mobile communications networks themselves will have been damaged and will also be congested because of the surge in demand as survivors attempt to locate family and friends. TERA is a communications system that is specifically designed to meet this challenge. 40 million early warning SMS were broadcasted, to prevent potential damage caused by natural disasters in 2015.

Open Mind Pakistan

Telenor Pakistan is one of the first companies in the country to really make disability a priority area on their agenda. This has earned us the recognition as a best-practice case in an international report commissioned by the British Council. Moving from the margins is a custom research report produced for the British Council which examines the challenges, opportunities and policy issues affecting persons with disabilities in Pakistan.

Telenor Pakistan takes pride in the fact that it is not only one of the first employers in the country to take up Disability as a priority agenda, but also among the first to implement a program translating ambitions into concrete outcomes.

Access to basic human rights is the true manifestation of empowering societies. Open mind Pakistan is our journey to raise awareness, enable access and promote inclusion. It was introduced to integrate persons with disabilities into the mainstream through advocacy by providing trainings and assistive technology launched in collaboration with special talent exchange program and directorate generals of special education government of Pakistan in July 2009.

Realizing a future full of equal opportunities

Being an equal opportunity organization, Telenor Pakistan provides a unique employment opportunity for People with Disabilities (PwD) and aims at their social inclusion through its Open Mind Pakistan program.

These PwDs face physical, visual, hearing or speech disabilities in physical environment.

How does it work?

The management traineeship is a stepping stone for Person with Disabilities to succeed and prove their merit in the corporate world.

Open Mind Pakistan Program has a rigorous recruitment process which includes interviews, 3 months soft-skills training and 9 month on-job training at Telenor Pakistan.

The traineeship is followed by a candidate assessment after which the trainees are considered for job opportunities depending on availability.

Network Resilience during Disasters

In year 2015(July-Aug), Pakistan was hit with devastating spells of monsoon rains and subsequent floods that affected around 800,000 people. One of the hardest hit areas was Chitral where Telenor Pakistan was the only mobile operator. 29 dedicated BTS sites provided coverage to Upper Chitral, Bomborate and Dasu regions posing a formidable challenge for the Technology Field Operations teams to keep the network alive. Smart network operating solutions proved to be the differentiating factors like Solar Power, timely fuel and equipment spare stocking, preventive maintenance, establishment of special monitoring ‘war-rooms’, arrangement of vehicles/boats etc.

Digital Birth Registration

Pakistan has a birth registration rate of only 33.6 percent; approximately 60 million children are unregistered. This is due to multiple social and economic factors, including insufficient resources, weak governance structures, and high costs in time and money required for birth registration. These factors are then exacerbated by a general lack of awareness regarding the benefits of birth registration.

Status:

Telenor Pakistan in collaboration with UNICEF, Government and a range of other stakeholders conducted a feasibility study in which three potential registration models were identified:

  • Telenor Facilitator: In UC Gharo, District Thatta, Telenor retailers or “Sahoolat Ghar” were used as Touch Points
  • Government Facilitators: In UC Kaliana, District Pakpattan, Nikah (marriage) registrars, while in Dhabeji, District Thatta, Lady Health Workers were chosen as facilitators

 

Designated government data collectors (facilitators) are equipped with smart phones and a customized mobile application, which digitized the standard birth registration form with necessary documents being photographed. These smart phones have mobile banking accounts enabled for transparent and timely allowance disbursements to the facilitators.

A web-based dashboard provides real-time data on reported and registered births and also monitors the performance of concerned government officials. The authorized government officials, after reviewing the submissions online, address any queries and process the registration accordingly. The system also extracts information from the data collected and disseminates mother and child’s health related advisories along with immunization alerts to the beneficiaries. This project is an ideal example of leveraging technology for development through public private partnership.

Ambition

After successful conclusion of the pilot in 2016 with promising results, both the provincial governments decided to scale up the solution strategically in other districts, laying a strong foundation for provision of this basic human right across provinces.

DBR is now being scaled up to 5 priority districts under the same tripartite partnership. The solution is now being deployed at Local Government Department (LGD) Secretariats at the provincial capitals Lahore and Karachi.

Birth registrations increased significantly across all three UCs:

The 15-episode reality show will feature competitions based on using internet productively and a grand finale where the ultimate iChamp will be announced. iChamp 2017’s goal is to touch mass secondary schools nationwide across Pakistan to educate youth on the benefits and safe use of internet.

Big Data for Research on Dengue

Since November 2010, thousands of people in Pakistan have been diagnosed with dengue and many lost their lives to the infectious disease. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Telenor Pakistan in collaboration with Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health and Telenor Research (Telenor Group) in 2015, conducted a study on ‘Impact of human mobility on the emergence of dengue epidemics in Pakistan. The purpose was to analyze the causes, trends and effects of dengue fever in Pakistan and to study its spread through anonymized consumer data. The study provided a tool to the health professionals and authorities and contributed to the design of more effective national response mechanisms. The findings were of international significance to support the remedial efforts to control the spread of Dengue in various parts of the world.

ICT4D INITIATIVES

Mobiles for Birth Registration

In an effort to augment the present low birth registration rate with the help of cellular technology, Telenor Pakistan and UNICEF Pakistan jointly launched a pilot in 2014 to mediate child’s right to identity through mobile birth registrations.

Currently, the rate of birth registration in Pakistan is quite low due to various socio economic factors. Time, cost, travel, process hindrances and general lack of awareness all contribute towards exacerbating the situation. On the other hand, the ubiquitous prevalence and adoption of mobile technology in Pakistan has opened avenues that offer unprecedented potential for services and applications for masses at large. This unique pilot project aims to help create an enabling environment by making the process of birth registration user-friendly, and provide facilitation to citizens and other stakeholders through the use of technology and innovations.

A one-of-its kind initiative under Telenor Pakistan Corporate Social Responsibility umbrella, the project not only aims at increasing demand for registrations in selected Union Councils of Sindh and Punjab but will also induce a proactive approach towards bringing birth registration services to the public. The project will play a pivotal role in improved citizen interactions through process optimization, better planning and management of data for the government, and improved health awareness through uptake of mobile-health (m-health) services.

Government bodies such as NADRA and Union Councils will play an important role in this initiative. Additional components of the plan include Mobile Birth Reporting System; an Information portal consisting of a website, central helpline and SMS based pull requests; public service messages and m-health services.

E-education:

The E-Education project aims at providing top of the line e-education content to public/underprivileged schools in order to improve conceptual understanding & science attitudes, provide access to international level education content to the unconnected.

After running a successful pilot in Children’s Library Complex (CLC), Lahore, the e-education project kicked off in 5 additional public schools in Karachi & KP province through Idara Taleem-o-Agahi (ITA).

At Children Library Complex Lahore a total of 263 students from 7 public schools and 59 students from 3 private schools interacted with the eLearning module along with 40 teachers who participated in the orientation session. In Karachi a total of 400 students interacted with the eLearning module and 12 teachers from 2 public sector schools participated in the training sessions and their learning was gauged. In Swat total of 320 students from two public schools in along with 17 teachers participated in the sessions and their learning was gauged.

The final results showed improvement in comprehension, conceptual clarity and understanding of both the teachers and students.

Mother & Child Health Project, KPK

In 2014, in collaboration with MNCH program Govt of Pukhtunkhwa Telenor Pakistan initiated a unique pilot in 10 districts of KP to support mother and child health.

Pakistan’s Maternal and Child Health indicators remain extremely poor every year as 25,000 to 30,000 women die from complications of pregnancy and child birth. Millions more suffer ill health and disability. One million children die before the age of 5 while 16,000 die in the first month after birth.

The programme aims to support expecting women in rural/remote districts through an integrated approach. Upon checkup and delivery in Public Hospital and from Community Midwifes, each expecting woman receives a staggered monetary amount to improve nutrition intake, along with free medicines. Initially the project has been launched in 10 District Chitral, Shangla, Upper Dir, Lower Dir, Buner, Torghar, Kohistan, Battagram, Nowshera, Hangu, Lakki Marwat and Tank.

Along with disbursement support through Easypaisa, Telenor Pakistan also sends trimester-wise targeted text and voice-based messages through an intelligent system (in local language to transcend the literacy barrier) to remind expecting beneficiary mothers of their next appointment as well as collection of stipend.

Impact: A total of 100,000 beneficiaries (expecting mothers) will be reached over a period of 1 year

Global Countdown

Telenor Pakistan takes the environment very seriously and believes that educating our next generations is the best way to ensure environmental sustainability through creating a more aware leadership for the future.

As part of this philosophy, Telenor Pakistan is working with the Children’s Library Complex and has installed a fun, yet full of learning, interactive simulation in the library which is utilized by school children to play a game where they have to take complex, ethical decisions to safeguard the future of the planet and ensure environmental sustainability. Over the course of the past couple of years, the simulation has reached and touched upon lives of hundreds of school-going children across Punjab through sessions arranged by the Children’s Library Complex.
