We all strive for sustainability – seeking permanent impact from our

short-term projects. Yet sustainability often feels like a chimera, beyond the

power of project teams once the project ends. Why? Because sustainability

doesn’t rest on new capabilities or technologies or markets alone.

Instead, its long-term success rests on local relationships, trust, mutual

understanding and mutual benefit.

At Counterpart, building trust is at the core of our success. It can be

time-consuming, but it pays back for years into the future as local partners

continue to work together to improve citizens’ lives and strengthen their

communities.

We see the dividends of community cohesion in Cameroon, where a

common vision for healthy children has launched a local volunteer corps.

We see the stabilizing influence of trust in Yemen, where ministries worked

hard through a turbulent 2011 to deliver on their promises to citizens.

We are celebrating growing trust in Afghanistan as well. In 2011,

Counterpart facilitated town meetings between citizens and leaders,

identifying community priorities and potential. In September, these

communities sent representatives to Kabul to share ideas – building bridges

between communities across language and ethnic barriers.

theme not only because it captures how Counterpart operates around the

globe, but also because it shows that the permanent power of development

is local.

This annual report provides six stories of how Counterpart has helped

people build partnerships and trust, in different parts of the world and also

in Counterpart’s different areas of practice. We hope you enjoy them and

see in them our point-of-difference - what we call the Counterpart Way.

Within Counterpart, 2011 was a year for new relationships as well. In

September, Counterpart welcomed three new board members: Jennifer

Rose, Corporate Controller, Summit Materials, Washington, D.C.; Marcia

Silverman, Chair, Ogilvy PR, Washington, D.C.; and Judith H. Whittlesey,

Executive Vice President, Susan Davis International (SDI), Washington,

D.C. In May, we welcomed Tim Ogborn as Senior Vice President for

Programs. We are thrilled to have our family growing!

Finally, the 2011 fiscal year also marked a period of programmatic

growth for Counterpart. We were strengthened by new donors and

contributors. And with the support of our partners, we were able to reach

more communities, helping them to establish a brighter future.

From all of us at Counterpart, we wish you a year of exploration,

success and the satisfaction that strong partnerships bring.

A CATALYST FOR EMPOWERING A

NATION THROUGH ECOTOURISM

A new approach to protecting land in Ethiopia is knitting stronger

communities, as well as a stronger economy.

Ethiopia has modest natural resources and an agricultural economy

beset by drought and deforestation. Tourism is limited, though its potential

is great: Ethiopia’s rich history goes back to the first humans, and its

landscape is varied and beautiful. But tourism has grown slowly, and the

central government’s decisions to conserve land for parks haven’t always

sat well with the people who live nearby and see the land as a resource for

wood, grazing and hunting.

An innovative, community-run initiative is changing those attitudes.

The Ethiopian Sustainable Tourism Alliance, supported by the U.S.

Agency for International Development and organized by Counterpart

International and its partner the Ethiopian Wildlife and Natural History

Society, is building relationships with communities and providing them with

the skills needed to save their ecological and historical treasures – while

still supporting sustainable livelihoods.

The results are evident in places such as Lake Ziway.

The lake, in the Central Rift Valley, is best known for a monastery

on one of its five islands. Tulu Gudo is said to have housed the biblical

Ark of the Covenant 1,200 years ago. In the villages near Lake Ziway, a

democratically chosen management committee spent the year building

awareness of the benefits for the community in conserving biodiversity and

creating incentives for alternative livelihoods.

Through this committee, villagers planned efforts to reverse

environmental degradation, establish sustainable management for their

natural resources and work to attract tourists – and create jobs.

Nearby, the Arsi Nature Conservation and Environmental Development

Association (ANCEDA), led by Dekebo Dale, is Counterpart’s partner in a

similar effort to bring sustainable tourism to the Lepis Forest.

Dale has mobilized residents, says Bedilu Shegen, Director of

Counterpart’s programs in Ethiopia. “There is a huge level of trust between

the communities and ANCEDA, and he is originally from the same place.

It’s a perfect match for us,” Shegen says.

Without the chance to take on sustainable livelihoods as tour operators,

residents would “cut trees, burn charcoal,” Shegen says. “Most of them are

engaged in unsustainable use of natural resources.”

The regional government, the tourism alliance and its partners are

helping residents to make a better future: In 2011, ESTA trained nearly

1,200 residents in natural resource management and biodiversity.

Project OverviewThe Ethiopian Sustainable Tourism Alliance creates opportunities for communities to benefit from conservation-based activities through improved livelihoods, natural resource management and social infrastructure. HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness activities strengthen the tourism value chain by preventing infections and mitigating the epidemic’s impact in the target areas.

They came from Afghanistan’s 36 provinces – some at great risk – to a

large ballroom in a Kabul hotel. They were patient, eager and ready for two

days of intense work.

Two hundred leaders of Afghanistan’s emerging civil society and

government officials assembled for the first-ever National Policy Reform

Conference in September 2011. In small-group sessions and in large

forums, the attendees mapped out the country’s needs – from women’s

rights to water – and talked about making national policies and services

more responsive to citizens.

Yet participants said the conference wasn’t nearly as important as what

it represented: growing citizen engagement with government, and emerging

citizen partnerships across regions.

To begin citizen dialogues, work started in villages and provincial

capitals. Counterpart’s Afghan staff built close relationships with civil

society organizations and then leveraged that trust to bring them and the

government to the table to discuss each community’s needs.

Counterpart’s Initiative to Promote Afghan Civil Society (I-PACS) and

its partners organized more than 160 community dialogues in 2011 alone.

GIVING VOICE TO THE PEOPLE

FOR A CIVIL SOCIETY

IN AFGHANISTAN

Project OverviewThe Initiative to Promote Afghan Civil Society empowers Afghan organizations and the communities they serve to more effectively participate in the political process, solve local problems and demand good governance from their leaders. Our work provides consistent, long-term assistance to more than 350 organizations and emphasizes the participation and leadership of Afghan women.

These conversations have been a catalyst in helping citizens and groups to

build better relationships with local and regional governments. Six regional

policy dialogues then led to the national conference.

“Civil society organizations can hold the government accountable,”

Usman Khan, Program Manager for the group Basic Education and

Employable Skill Training, said at the conference. “We are mobilizing the

people to demand good governance.”

The U.S. Agency for International Development, which funds

Counterpart’s I-PACS program, sees civil society as a key player in the

country’s future.

“When civil society comes together around one issue or a group of

issues, we start to see a vibrant civil society and a vibrant democracy,”

S. Ken Yamashita, Ph.D., USAID’s Mission Director for Afghanistan, told

the conference. “These issues – education, women [and] health – are not

new to you. The question is, how do we give voice to these issues so that

government can respond to your needs? That is the role of civil society.”

Through Counterpart’s I-PACS, civil society’s voice – and subsequently

the communities it represents – has been amplified in Afghanistan.

Joan Mary Berinyuy can tell you what a difference good nutrition makes

for children in Cameroon. She sees it every day in her little girl, Eli-Gisele.

By the time Eli-Gisele was 3 months old, Joan Mary knew that

something was wrong. The little girl could not keep on weight and was

sliding into the dangerous category of severe malnutrition.

It was then that Counterpart brought to the child’s village of Anseh

the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s McGovern-Dole Food for Education

Program.

Throughout 2011, community health volunteers tracked Eli-Gisele’s

weight and height each month and gave Joan Mary a take-home ration of

rice, beans and vegetable oil. At the same time, they have counseled Joan

Mary and other parents on breastfeeding, nutrition and hygiene. Eli-Gisele

has thrived.

Before little Eli-Gisele could be placed on the scale, the community had

to buy into the nutrition and maternal health strategy. Counterpart’s staff

(nearly all of them from Cameroon, and several from the area near Eli-

Gisele’s village) established close relationships with community leaders and

solicited their input and support.

CHANGING CHILDREN’S LIVES

WITH GOOD NUTRITION

IN CAMEROON

Project OverviewThe Food for Education project works in partnership with 90 primary schools and the communities to increase the attendance, health and nutritional status of children, particularly girls. Counterpart provides lunch using USDA-donated food to more than 26,000 primary-age students every day. The communities also benefit from small school gardens, deworming, vitamin A distribution and training in health, hygiene and nutrition.

It worked, and today the little girl’s good health – and that of thousands

of children in her village and others nearby – has been a cooperative,

community effort, with Counterpart as the catalyst.

School-age children receive daily hot lunches using ingredients from

school gardens, which are planted and tended by members of parent-

teacher associations. The Counterpart-inspired gardens have allowed

the program to stretch its resources and reach 90 schools instead of the

original target of 50.

Communities also have built school latrines, and children are learning

about health and nutrition – improvements that will help children long after

Counterpart’s work with villagers in Northwest Cameroon is complete.

Desiré Yameogo, Counterpart’s Country Director in Cameroon, says

members of the community will build on the progress.

“Whether it is the cooks, or the PTAs, or the community health workers,

they are all volunteers,” he says. “We have built a kind of volunteerism spirit

in each village.”

Political tensions in Yemen were at their peak in the fall of 2011 – and

trapped in the middle were children who needed to go back to school.

“We told our students that missing a whole year of education means

losing a whole year of your lives,” says Education Minister Abdulsalam

Al-Jawafi. “To parents, we told them we love your children as much as you

do. Thus, let’s work hand in hand so that our students go back to school.”

That shared concern was the basis of an extraordinary outreach

program. Officials sought help from members of civil society who had

built a relationship of trust with the people as well as the government

– nongovernmental organizations including Counterpart’s Responsive

Governance Project (RGP) – to reach their constituents with a key

message: Despite the civil unrest, schools would reopen in the fall.

Within weeks, a back-to-school campaign was launched by the

RGP and one of its civil society partners, the All Girls Society for

Development, along with UNICEF, CHF International and two Yemeni

media companies. Included in the campaign were three television public

service announcements that carried the message that every child has the

right to learn.

“We’re on the side of the children and ensuring that they continue

The approach recognizes the crucial role that a strong civil society plays in discouraging corruption and holding government accountable.

their studies, despite the country’s political crisis,” says Abdul Karim Alaug,

RGP’s Deputy Director.

The campaign was a tremendous success as children returned to

the 16,400 schools across the country. “The response was extraordinary,”

Minister Al-Jawafi says. “Classrooms are now full of students.”

The back-to-school initiative also gave nonprofit groups and ministry

officials the opportunity to drive home two more messages to parents:

children are better off in school than working and girls should be educated.

Yemen suffers from widespread illiteracy, especially among women

and girls, so the campaign paid particular attention to putting girls into the

classroom.

“It is an unfortunate fact that many parents either do not send their

daughters to school or remove them from classrooms after only a few years

of formal education,” says Mehboob Karim, Director of Monitoring and

Evaluation at the RGP. “The campaign seeks to break the cycle of illiteracy

and poverty. Educating girls is good for their families, their communities and

their country.”

The campaign worked: Instead of a drop in enrollment, schools

reported an increase.

The people who live in and around the Dominican Republic’s Monte

Cristi National Park have long relied on a few ways to make a living, mostly

fishing, crabbing, farming rice and harvesting sea salt.

Their challenge now is to continue this way of life without destroying

the ecosystem that has sustained them. In 2011, they started making plans

and taking steps to do so thanks to a community partnership project with

Counterpart.

The project, which includes the Dominican organization AgroFrontera

and is funded by the MacArthur Foundation, seeks to turn the deteriorating

coastal ecosystem and coral reefs into “productive landscapes” with a

balance of sustainable growth for all of its residents.

Frederick Payton, Executive Director of AgroFrontera, says the project

has to build trust among stakeholders and respond to their needs to ensure

the long-term protection of coastal ecosystems: “It has as much to do with

commerce as it does with conserving biodiversity.” But, he says, the two

can go hand in hand.

So the project is teaching a new, sustainable model for rice farming in

the park’s buffer zone that uses less fertilizer, pesticide and irrigation water

– and yet produces at least as much rice.

MAKING LIVELIHOODS SUSTAINABLE

FOR COASTAL COMMUNITIES IN

THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

Project OverviewThe project to conserve biodiversity at Monte Cristi National Park brings together a coalition of resource users to reduce the negative environmental effects of rice cultivation and to improve the economic competitiveness of rice farming in the country’s northwest. The program has also implemented educational and outreach activities to strengthen community-based fishing and farmer institutions.

Felipe Gomez, a rice farmer and project collaborator, has seen the

importance of adopting more sustainable production practices. “You could

say that this project has given my family a chance to keep farming and

stay on the land,” he says. “We’re always struggling to rein in [production]

costs, and the project is showing us that we can produce more rice

with less chemicals.” Bottom line: Rice farming is more profitable and

environmentally sound.

Fishermen are changing the way they do business, too. The project

is helping fishermen market their catch directly to retail buyers instead of

relying on intermediaries. So the fishermen are getting higher prices, and

more of the profit stays in their communities.

The project is also promoting the adoption of more sustainable

fishing practices. One measure of its success: By year’s end, fishermen

had identified four no-take zones and were instituting responsible fishing

practices in an effort to recover depleted stocks of key commercial species.

An ecologically sound approach to livelihoods is essential as Monte

Cristi grows as a tourist destination. Counterpart’s work to this end in the

Dominican Republic and Honduras earned it the 2011 Caribbean Media

Exchange’s World Leadership Award.

A CATALYST FOR BRINGING PEOPLE

AND GOVERNMENT TOGETHER

Georgia’s worst flooding in a quarter-century stranded residents and

washed away vehicles, homes and lives. But it did not wash away the

people’s growing trust in their government.

Flooding on the Mtkvari River (also known as the Kura) has become

more ferocious over the years as climate change and deforestation have

allowed more water to pour into it from spring rains, melting snow and

shrinking glaciers. Heavy rains on June 19, 2011, in the Shida Karlti region

triggered landslides and closed roads. In some villages, water levels rose to

nearly 10 feet, affecting about 1,500 Georgians, many of whom were forced

into temporary shelters.

A natural disaster can test people’s relations with their governmental

institutions.

Irakli Saralidze, the Counterpart Country Director for Georgia, said

that for seven years the government has been overcoming a legacy

of corruption and that its relationship with the people has improved

substantially.

The June flooding put that relationship to the test.

“We found out about the flood on TV and immediately we called the

local administration,” Saralidze says. “They just said that, ‘Guys, we were

Project OverviewCounterpart’s Humanitarian Assistance program has mobilized communities and diverse donor resources to help the world’s most vulnerable populations.

just about to contact you, because 1,500 houses are flooded.’ ”

In this case, Counterpart had pre-positioned disaster relief packages

in a warehouse in Tbilisi, the Georgian capital, as part of a partnership with

the U.S. State Department’s Office of the Coordinator of U.S. Assistance

to Europe and Eurasia (EUR/ACE). The packages enable Counterpart to

quickly provide critically needed aid in response to disasters in the region.

Counterpart coordinated the distribution of aid from the pre-positioned

supplies with the State Department, the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi and

the Shida Kartli regional government. The UN High Commissioner for

Refugees, the UN Children’s Fund and the Tbilisi mayor’s office provided

clothing and cots.

The partnership with the State Department, Georgian government

offices and several international organizations made the response to this

devastating natural disaster fast and effective. Within 10 days, Counterpart

had distributed 1,500 sleeping bags, 3,000 bed sheets, 2,154 blankets and

1,500 pairs of boots to the people in need, and the governor expressed

“deep respect and great gratitude” for its effort.

Equally important, it enabled the government to build a positive

relationship with residents.
