GoAL-1 Restoring Natural Resources in 10000 villages benefiting 1 million women & her

households.

Himanshu and Shiv

● Ecology

● People level

● System

3-4 broad indicators

“Resource”

 Land/soil, water, vegetation, bio-diversity (animal)

What will we cover “Restoring” –

 Benchmark carbon neutral by 2070,

 Intervention towards less temperature in the globe, by INRM approach – both
physical structures/asset creation and vegetative measures
 Building capacity towards enhanced knowledge on climate action is one of the
important components.
 15-20 crore in one village considering the ridge to valley treatment approach.
 Soil organic carbon
 Water level, water availability – irrigation%, vegetative growth%
 Ground water recharge
 Commons development- silvopasture, Food-forest -tree species, community
nutrition garden,

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Identify and articulate the key development challenges on climate Action that you would like
to solve in the coming years for improving the quality of life of the disadvantaged
communities in the State along with its justification with facts and figures. Priority of the
community, political will, availability of resources and capability of system actors may be
analysed for this purpose. This section should capture Development Cluster wise
commonality and differences around climate action.

Context:

Identifying Empirical data – Priority of Political Resource Presence and

the problem justification with the will (govt., investment, capabilities of
areas in the facts and figures community political program, system actors

that need government BLF/CLF, PRIs, ERs), relevent to the of the related
attention in websites, journal, traditional Media state priorities, institution,

GOAL

System’s and people level goals to be articulated with reference to the current situation and
aligning to PRADAN’s priorities. It should take in consideration DC level differences in its
subsection of Goals. It may mention 3-4 SMART (Simple, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant,
Time bound) indicators that the team tracks as measures of movement towards its goal.
Below mentioned table is proposed be used to come up with State level result chain.

System level Goal may be based on the problem mentioned below:

● System related challenges (Policies, programs and schemes)

● Top down approach, less appreciation and ownership of peoples plan

● Poor implementation of major acts (MGNREGA, PESA, FRA and different schemes)

● Poor allocation of Fund, no state top up

● Less Pro poor policies schemes

● Poor implementation process and mechanism

 ● Poor local governance. Low bandwidth (understanding, influencing etc.) of grass root
institutions (PRI, CBOs etc.)
● Very less responses from system

● Poor accountability of on time-bound implementation

● Less collaborative effort (Govt. – CSOs – Philanthropies – market)

● … GP covered and … functionaries are oriented around climate action

● INR ….. (amount) resource allocation (program fund and HR)

● Coalition, CBO-NGO-GO collaboration at state/district level - Ecology restoration may

be prime agenda
● Streamline GPDP process and leverage the resources with proper NRM based plan,
actualisation
● Technological innovation – database to capture changes/impact of intervention

● Resource mobilisation – per ha investment cost

● Ridge to valley comprehensive approach and structure would be designed to

facilitated
● Carbon credit/sequestration should be for community profit.

Community and people level Goal & Sub Goal

Sub Goal Outcome indicator (Measurable indicators)

 … ha of land has been treated with various structural and

vegetative measures (catchment, plantation, irrigation,
vegetative area)
 … ha of common have been covered under vegetation
 ….ha of land are under Irrigated area
 … ha soil and moisture conservation treatment area
 …. Ha meter water harvesting potential created (2-3 refill can
be contribute for irrigation
 .. ha of land with vegetative cover afforestation
(timber/silvopasture) and horticulture
 …% increased in soil organic carbon
 …. Farmer are practicing regenerative agriculture practices
 ….. % INRM based investment from flagship program – labour
 budget and GPDP
 …. Households with NRM based assets created
 ….% land are being irrigated through renewable energy

DEVELOPMENT TASK

The interventions and/or activities that it will take up to achieve its goals. The numbers and
targets are to be filled in the separate excel sheet given.

Sub Goals Activities

● Capacity building of community, government functionaries

● Policy advocacy, workshop to highlight the issues

● Discussion in the forum. coalitions at regional and state level

● Participatory and qualitative INRM based planning, VDP- GPDP

include – leverage from govt. CSR and similar sources
● Strengthening executive body at grassroot – GP, GS, Respective
GS standing committee- grooming, monitoring- forest, NRM
standing committee), CBOs
● Land husbandry activities, vegetative coverage (including
increasing soil health like glyricidia, other species to increase
PH) to reduce soil erosion.
● PMU/Cell in the department

● Pilot and growth nuclei across the region

STRATEGIES:

Keeping the goals, organizational priorities and current competitive advantages and
disadvantages in mind, It has to be articulated to work towards the goals. The PRADAN’s
Theory of Change (ToC) could be referred for aligning it.

Other Tasks:
  Consolidate the stakeholder consultation sheet from respective region and state.
 Reference reports, policy, study to validate the development challenges that we
articulated.
 Some secondary data like irrigation coverage, rainfall data, forest coverage,
cultivable land, area under mining etc. region wise and state level consolidation

Problem Area identified:

Tarak, Raju

Degradation of natural resources – (ISRO data - 68.9% of Jh geography converted into

desertification)

• High level of erosion –

reference from ISRO desertification 2016, type of erosion, trends of erosion, forest
coverage, water bodies , manmade – may be district wise data is there
Govt. of India – Water harvesting survey- potential, situation soil,
• Low water retention, low soil carbon, low vegetative cover, low PH
• High deforestation, destruction of pastureland, desertification, high level of extraction
and mining
• Unsustainable use of water, soil, forest, rivers – Jharkhand water deficit, water bodies
run off, consumption.
• Low budgetary allocation for forest conservation and NRM – IWMP – budget vs WRID,
Agriculture, state budget – per ha investment and budget reallocation – global
report/UNDP, there is a range 5K US dollar – 1 lakh/ha,
• Forest/NTFP not considered as a major source of livelihood
• High rate of land desertification leading to low carrying capacity
• High rate of rain runoff, topsoil erosion and ground water depletion
• Decreasing green coverage
• Rapid climate change
• Decreasing forest coverage – sources from ISRO 2016 report
• Rainfall data of last 20-50 years
• Existing knowledge gap -
• Practices –
• Mental model
• Policy -
• Water use patterns in the last 2 decades-
• Structure created through different flagship programs in the state – it will provide trends
and the focus how NRM/ridge to valley approached was considered or not.

Sub Goal-01:
Restoring natural resources in 10000 villages benefiting 1 mn Women & her HHs

Create space and opportunities for restoring degraded natural resources in 10000 villages, 1
Mn Women farmers by conservation and comprehensive management of natural resources
investing 10000 cr through multi stakeholder collaboration.
