2. Description de l'Approche de GDT

2.1 Courte description de l'Approche

Participatory approach for holistic and intigrated development of the defined area on watershed basis involving all level of stake holders.

2.2 Description détaillée de l'Approche

Description détaillée de l'Approche:

Aims / objectives: Long term - Establish suitable and locally acceptable land use system which are sustainable and ecologically sound.The land use system should enable the poor rural community to improve their living condition and tsupply of food, fuel and fodder and other essentials, without exposing the natural resources to harmful stress. Intermediate Objective- Preserve the resource base by introducing improvemnets which are feasible, effective and attractive to the target groups in the area by combining elements of soil conservation, crop production, horticulture, animal husbandary and tree planting in such a way that sustaibale use is made of every niche of land within the watershed.

Methods: (1) Mobilization of community by NGO/ GO people through meetings. (2) Demonstration at the field level. (3) Organizing farmers field day. (4) Exposure visit to the watershed area. (5) Training. (6) Land development activities,

Stages of implementation: (1) Socio economic survey. (2) Participatory Rural Apprisal (PRA). (3) Preparation of participatory annual action plan with the community and village and watershed committee. (4) Consolidation of annual action plan by project management unit and circulation for comments to WDCU, DSC(O). (5) Approval of annual action plan by the state level project empowered committee and sanction of funds. (6) Implementation through community and mobilisation for labour contribution by the community (if such component are there). (7) Training at the field level. (8) Organizing monitoring by the community/ Specialist.

Role of stakeholders: NGO (Field Organizers)- Organizing village meeting and mobilization of community towards different activities and labour contribution organising PRA, meeting, group discussion, survey, formation of committee, preparation of AAP. Villagers:- Attendance of meeting, selection of beneficiaries from the target group and sites for different activities. Monitoring and implementation (Physical) of the activity. Youth facilitator:- The village youth facilitators played a key role through out the process of planning, implementation and monitoring and to solve the problems in case arises at any stage of the work. The village yourth facilitator acted as the link person between the community and the project. SWC (From Project management Unit) - Supervision, training to the SWC specialist, communicate new technology to the community. Beneficiaries:- Implementation, contribution of labour selection of his own land for SWC technology, monitoring, receive training, training before/during/afteer care.

Other important information: Government and NGO collaborately played a vital role to bring all level of stak holders to a common forum of participation.

2.7 Type d'Approche

  • fondé sur un projet/ programme

2.8 Principaux objectifs de l'Approche

The Approach focused mainly on SLM with other activities (Live stock development, SHG formation, management group, development of local committee, income generating, identification of 10 poorest and support for upliftment, training, women empowerment)

Long term - Establish suitable and locally acceptable land use system which are sustainable and ecologically sound. The land use system should enable the poor rural community to improve their living condition and tsupply of food, fuel and fodder and other essentials, without exposing the natural resources to harmful stress. Intermediate Objective- Preserve the resource base by introducing improvemnets which are feasible, effective and attractive to the target groups in the area by combining elements of soil conservation, crop production, horticulture, animal husbandary and tree planting in such a way that sustaibale use is made of every niche of land within the watershed. -Ease the pressure on non arable lands by increasing the productivity of land which is suitable for more intensive use which is suitable for more intesive use without risk of loss in soil fertility. -Provide marginal farmers and landless people with assests which yield essentials or generate income possibilities. Immediate: Relevant authorities will identify, plan for implement and monitor proper conservation measures and land use system acceptable and in cooperation with the people in the project area of Koraput and Malkangiri districts. Thereby increase production of agricultural and other rural products and improve gainful, empowerment opportunity for men and women among landless , small and marginal farmers.

The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: (1) Both the project districts like Koraput & Malkangiri are among the most poor, backward with 90% of the house hold are below the official poverty line. Literacy rate is just above 10%. (2) The dry land farming is predeminant activity. (3) The soil in the districts suffer from severe land degradation and erosion problems needing protectin and preservation measures.

(1) No faith on Govt. people. (2) Practice on not participapting in any Govt. programme. (3) No women participation in any common gathering. (4) Dominance of influencial persons in the villages. (5) No participation of poors in any developmental work.

Irregular flow of fund by the sanction authority which hampered the season based activities.(2)Achieve the targetted amount of contribution for different activities from the community.

Treatment through the SLM Approach: The irregular funds flow continued till end of the programme.But regarding contribution component it was reduced from the 50% to20% in amount at the policy level which could be achieved by community mobilisation through NGO who were associated as the proj

cadre juridique (régime foncier, droits d'utilisation des terres et de l'eau)
  • entrave

The existing land ownership, land use rights / water rights hindered a little the approach implementation Due to ignorance of the people, initially it was difficult to take up any activity in farmers land since the apprehensive of loss of llllland by the Govt. Staff was existing in the mind of land users.

3. Participation et rôles des parties prenantes impliquées dans l'Approche

3.1 Parties prenantes impliquées dans l'Approche et rôles

  • exploitants locaux des terres / communautés locales

Land less and Small/marginal farmers

Work equally divided between men and women (Both men and women work on common land activities, the land users worked combinely and in most of the private activities work done individualy. Though the male and female do all type of work, but due to their usual practice the women participation was very less in the initial period of the project. But due to the presence of the NGO in the project, they could be brought in the main stream of the project and by which many successful women self help group than the male group could be organized. The project has earmarked poor as main target froup. Through NGO they have been encouraged and mobilized to partcipate in project activities. As per the project guide line no land less and the small/ marginal farmers have their representation in the village committee/watershed committee wheremajor decission taken place. During implementation they priority for engegement of labour and income.
