15 B: Over view Capacity building process The DRDA Krishna has been implementing 2 major schemes i.e. Rural Poverty Reduction Project (R.P.R.P) and Swarna Jayanthi Swarojgar Yojana (S.G.S.Y). Both are merged and called as Indira Kranthi Patham (IKP). The R.P.R.P is funded by World Bank and implemented in 22 Mandals of Krishna District that i.e. 18 upland mandals and 4 fisherman mandals of delta comprising 73 fisher man villages. The S.G.S.Y project is implemented in the remaining 27 mandals and balance villages of 4 costal mandals. This project is sponsored by Govt.of India and State Govt., jointly in the ratio of 75: 25. The objectives/processes of implementing both the schemes are one and the same. The R.P.R.P (erstwhile Velugu Project) is community demand driven (C.D.D) project with the objective of elevating the poorest of the poor (POP) and Poor families (BPL) to APL families by empowering them economically and socially duly adopting CDD approach with their own self managed institutions like SHGs, VOs and MSs and ZS. The existence of SHGs in the district are there right from early 90s but they were loose and lack of group dynamics, institution building (IB) and Capacity Building (CB) etc. At present there are SHGs which are federated in to 1716 VOs and 49 MMs in the District. In order to improve their group dynamism and self reliance among the SHGs lot of hand holding, nurturing and facilitation support are provide through IB and CB, trainings etc. through different facilitators. In this process the activists (Animators) at village level, CCs and MBKs and MTCs at mandal level besides the APMs at 2 to 3 mandal level, functional wise DPMs at district level were appointed at DPMU and SERP level by means of recruitment procedures laid down, like contract basis and paying their honorarium. The field staff were kept under the control of institutions like VOs, MS and ZS from day one and the activities are taken up as follows: Identification of POP and Poor, Social mobilization, Formation of groups, strengthening of groups through Capacity building activities Formation of village organization and capacity Building Formation of Mandal Samakhas in RPRP mandals Formation of VOs & MS in Non-RPRP mandals Formation of Zilla Samakhyas (ZS) and also Mandal Samakhas In Non-RPRP mandals Financial powers were also delegated to the CBOs as indicated below Expenditure was met from the DPMU at District Level The CIF amount was released to the SHGs through the VOs The CIF budget was released directly to the VOs and SHGs The CIF budget was released to the VOs and SHGs 14

16 through Mandal Samakhyas directly The Budget was released to the Mandal Samakhyas through Zilla Samakhyas directly The DPMU is confining for payment of honorarium and salaries of Staff, besides incurring expenditure towards office expenses i.e. project management only. The entire budget was transferred to the concerned CBOs as per the Govt directions. It shows that transformation process that is making the CBOs in to self managed institutions to become self reliant for sustainable development by delegating different powers to them with the objective of slowly withdrawing from the various controls i.e., both administrative and financial from the Project Director DRDA. In fact various circulars of instructions were issued by the CEO SERP AP, Hyderabad from 2003 on wards, besides issuing instructions in the workshops and Videoconference duly explaining the powers and responsibilities of the CBOs like VOs Mandal Samakhas and ZS. But these instructions have been strictly implemented from on wards as the CBOs gained enough empowerment through trainings, workshops and exposure visits etc which resulted improved capacity building for management of their institutions. The instructions which were issued from t ime to time by the CEO, SERP and also through the Video conference to CBO members in order to full fill the objective of the project and to make the BPL families to APL families with social & economic empowerment. So that they can become self managed and self reliant institutions. The Dist Project Management Unit(DPMU) is under the control of Society for Elimination of Rural Poverty (SERP). Poverty is one of the longest standing problems facing governments and population through out the World. Poverty continues to be a reality. SERP has defined a set of objectives that can be implemented in the practical sense, understanable by key stakeholders irrespective of their literacy levels and achievable through a community demand driven (CDD) approach. Further it also evolved a structure of implementation that ensure that the maximum participation is from the grass root level, so that the programme is a bottom up change with a plan and action from the bottom and facilitate from the top. The objectives of the Programme: Our vision of family out of poverty is Comprehensive Food Security An earning of Rs.5,000/- per month from 2-3 stable livelihoods. Economizing and optimizing household expenditures through Collective marketing Provide social security where risks to life, Gender issues health, assets and incomes are covered. Have a reasonably good shelter 15

17 Enjoy good education, social acceptance and health status. In order to achieve these objectives, a strong institutional structure of self managed institution of the Poor is needed besides continuous meeting and hand holding by the SHGs and V.Os. The achievement of the programme objectives is only possible through a multi pronged approach which forms the base for IKP initiative. Expected out comes Sustainable CBOs i.e., SHGs, VOs & MMSs & Z.S Qualitative Micro Finance services to the members of CBOs Empowerment of target communities Social security Gender equality Capacity building process Decision making, Solution for Social Problems 2 HR Policy for Employees serving in IKP There are multiple categories of employees recruited by IKP-DRDA as per the guidelines of Society for Elimination of Rural Poverty.

21 3. Institution and Human capacity building (IHCB) The institution and human capacity building component is the backbone of the Project. The Project has supported the formation of three tiers of Poor people institutions Self Help Groups,(SHGs) at the grass root level, Village Organisations(VOs) as the federation of SHGs at Village level and Mandal Samakhyas(MSs) as the federation of the V.Os at Mandal level and federation of Mandal Mahila Samakhyas and Zilla Samakhyas(Z.S) at District level. These poor people institutions i.e CBOs are promoted and nurtured by the Project to become self managed, self reliant and sustainable institutions. These institutions are also essential to harness the potential of the poor and PoP to help themselves to come out of their abject poverty. The important objective of this component is not only building strong and sustainable peoples institutions but also to identify a cadre of social capital who shall be catalysts and provide sensitive support to the peoples institutions. 3.1 Social Mobilization: As per the PIP survey the BPL house holds in the district are as follows.

After completing 2 rounds i.e., 2 VOs in each CC cluster, the CC and MBK will acquire adequate skills and take up trainings and facilitation in other VOs independently Therefore it is estimated that in the first year, the external CRP team will covers 9 VOs and the three CC and MBK Teams will cover 5 VOs i.e., 14 VOs totally. 8. During the first year while the external CRP team is working in the 9 VOs, active and committed community leaders and community staff would 23

25 emerge as internal CRP Teams. These Community Leaders and Community Staff are constituted into three internal CRP teams with 3 Women members and 1 Community Activist / Sr.Bookkeeper in each team and given orientation training to take up similar IB work for the remaining VOs in the three CC clusters. 9. In the Model Mandal, in the first year other IB activities like refresher trainings for those already trained and focused trainings on best practices at Village and Mandal level are also planned. Besides the CRP strategy and the above trainings, the plan provides for costs towards staff, meetings and maintenance at VOs and MS level. 10 During the 2 nd year, the external CRP team is not necessary for the Model Mandal. 3 internal CRP teams will cover 9 VOs in 9 rounds and the three CC and MBK teams will cover 7 VOs i.e., totally 16 VOs in the 2 nd year. Thus in One model Mandal One external CRP team and three CC, MBK Teams will cover 14 VOs in the first year and three internal CRP teams and three CC, MBK teams will cover 16 VOs in the 2 nd year to achieve 100% coverage of all the VOs 11 In the second year, other IB activities to fill the gaps arising out of staff attrition and Community Leaders rotation are planned in addition to costs towards staff meetings and maintenance at VOs and MS level. 12 In the 2 nd year training of paraprofessionals in livestock, community health and child labour removal is also given special focus to enable the VOs to achieve leverage of anti-poverty programmes and services of the government and other public agencies. 13 By the end of the 2 nd year participatory monitoring mechanisms through MAASA NIVEDIKALU is put in place with 100% coverage at SHG, VO and MS level to strengthen the management of the institutions by the community. 14 In the 2 nd year the concept of internal CRP teams is nurtured and expanded systematically to achieve horizontal saturation of IB processes without depending on external CRP strategy. 15 CCs MBKs after immersion and exposure in the villages and working with external CRP teams will substantially improve their IB skills and take up all the IB processes independently. 16 During the 2 years of intensive IB strategy SHGs, VOs and MS will be facilitated to become self-managed, self-reliant and sustainable by introducing norms for social capital building and meeting their management costs out of their own earnings from loan operations, food security and collective procurement and marketing interventions.

Health and Nutrition (H&N) Health & Nutition Strategies of the Andhra Pradesh Rural Poverty Reduction Project The AP Rural Poverty Reduction Project has specific strategies to address issues of health & Nutrition services that are essential for the rural poor through empowering the communities and creating an enabling environment in project mandals of Andhra Pradesh. The project ensures that there is internal convergence between health, nutrition and disability strategies undertaken within the project so that all these activities play a synergistic role in enhancing the quality of life of the communities. The health & Nutrition strategy within the project is envisaged under the overall component of Institution & Human Capacity Building and aims at primarlly operating in convergent mode by looking at gaps in the existing public health & nutrition services that are provided by the line departments. Then it tries to fill these gaps through community 59

61 managed sustainable models so that these services continue to be available to the community beyond the project period. The major goal of the health & Nutrition strategy under the APRPRP is to demystify the concept of health so that it is not only understood in a simplified manner by the rual poor but also perceived as a social issue as against the traditional medical and clinical models. It is conscious of operating in a project mode, being very sensitive of the fact that any effort should blend into the whole them of the project and must be sustainable. Sustainability can happen in two ways: 1. If simple strategies can be implemented and managed by the communities, this will ensure that they are owned by the communities and continued after the completion the project phase. 2. If systemic changes in the health sector, leading to improved access to existing healt services, can be demonstrated through small pilots, then it will result in the regular health & nutrition services delivery departments to upscale them. The overall goal of this component is to improve health and nutrition status of poor. The specific activities that will be undertaken under this component will be: Building capacities of the communities for improved health & nutrition seeking behave and thus reducing the risks. Develop a cadre of health & nutrition activists selected from within the communities Nutrition centers to fill the gaps in the child health & nutrition services in the community Some focused health initiatives under Community Investment Fund(CIF) Workable models for health / social insurance Pilot Schemes to improve access control over their own health. The project will play a catalytic role in improving the health and nutrition status of poor closely working with the line departments and private sector to improve access to basic and nutrition services to rural poor demonstrate through pilots the options for providing health care as well as safety nets to poor. Details of implementation of Health & Nutrition strategies: 1) capacity building of the self help groups in identifying health & Nutrition needs. This will be done though operational interactive methods, rather than classroom methods. The health & nutrition unit has already developed health & nutrition training modules to be imparted to the communities. 2) Build capacities of other project functionaries including the project Directors, District Project Managers, Assistant Project Managers and Community Coordinators. 3) Have a cadre of grassroots level health and Nutrition Community Coordinators *HN CCs), selected from young professionals from the nutrition and nursing and Social Work backgrounds. There will be 1 full time HN CC per mandal to take up health and nutrion work of the communites. 60

62 4) Identify from among the communities health, nutrition activists and build their capacities to become voluntary paraprofessionals to deal with health and nutrition issues of the communites. 5) Have a case manager employed by the Mandal Samakhyas at the district level public hospitals to serve as a liaison officer of the community at the district level. This person should be able to reach the project functionaries at the state level on account of any emergency. 6) Under the project CIF develop a number of CIFs. Thse will be identified based on the Health needs assessment done and village Health action plan developed by the community.
