\nA special project titled `Social Mobilisation around Natural Resource Management for Poverty Alleviation\u2019 is in progress in 11 districts of States of Orissa, Rajasthan and Jharkhand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The five year project (2003-07) of the Government of India with UNDP funds, is to support 5000 women\u2019s groups to promote decentralized management of natural resources, on which the poor including women depend for livelihood, through provisioning of resources and training to women\u2019s groups. <\/p>\n
The project aims at strengthening partnerships between women\u2019s groups, civil society, PRIs and local government to facilitate greater cross learning, knowledge and information sharing, access to resources and technical capacities and wider dissemination of tested social mobilization approaches. It is also to facilitate dialogue between women\u2019s groups, NGOs and policy makers for influencing relevant policies and programmes. <\/p>\n
The project is being implemented through 17 NGOs such as PRADAN, LGSS, FEMALE, AAA and KSRA in Jharkhand; VLKALPA, LOKADURSTI, WIDA and AMMA in Orissa; and ASTHA, FES, ARAVALI, SAMARTHAK, BAIF, SANKALP, GVT and CECOEDEDCON in Rajasthan. <\/p>\n
A total amount of Rs. 3.62 crore has been released under the project to various implementing agencies during the year 2006-07. The Ministry of Rural Development will also ensure that an equal amount is available from `Swarnjayanti Gram Swarojgar Yojna\u2019 for appropriate activities to be undertaken by women\u2019s groups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-89","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-india-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/citynews.co.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/citynews.co.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/citynews.co.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citynews.co.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citynews.co.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=89"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/citynews.co.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/citynews.co.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=89"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citynews.co.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=89"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citynews.co.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=89"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
