Community Led Landscape Management Project

The Government of Meghalaya with financial aid from the World Bank is implementing the Meghalaya Community Led Landscape Management Project (MCCLMP). The project will cover the entire state of Meghalaya and implementation of community led plans will be rolled out in a phase manner throughout the state. The Meghalaya Basin Management Agency (MBMA) will facilitate community-led planning by providing support, technical inputs and funding.

The project is intended to strengthen community-led natural resource management in selected landscapes within the 7 districts of the state. This would be achieved through a variety of planning, capacity building, and on-the-ground interventions to promote the conservation, sustainable use of natural resources, social inclusion and community mobilization; building traditional knowledge and learning, mapping of natural resources management; strengthening the community institutions and creating linkage with financial institutions and community organizations.

The project interventions will include preparation of community led natural resource management plans. The CLLMP has the following three components:

Strengthening Knowledge and Capacity of Communities for Natural Resources Management
Community-Led Landscape Planning and Implementation
Project Management and Governance

The project objective is “to manage and conserve the natural resources, especially forests, soil and water sources, in a manner that supports the financial and physical well-being of communities in the State.

Interpretation

Traditional and Indigenous Practitioners in the Village people

The people do not practice any form of traditional or indigenous methods for farming or healing in the village.

Government Schemes availed in the village

Major schemes like MGNREGA andSwachh Bharat Abhiyan Scheme are the most active in the village in terms of regularity and services. These schemes are used by the villagers to improve their overall well-being in the village such as animal rearing and farming.

Indigenous Food available

Potato, Yam and broom cultivation are the primary source of indigenous food that have been practiced by their ancestors and has continued till today in the present generation.

Women Participation in the Village

The village has a strong sense of women participation in which the women are included in the governing process of the Dorbar and play an important role in the decision making process relating to the well-being and welfare of the community as a whole.

Problems and Challenges faced by the people in the village

When it comes to problems faced by the village, water pollution and transportation are the main issues which hamper the way of living of the people in the village.

Numbers of CBO/ SHGs/ CLUBS in the Village

The village is constituted of 5 institutional groups/clubs. It is functioning actively and acts as a contributor to the well-being of the village.

Land use Pattern

The landholdings show that land is largely owned by private individuals in which the land is primarily used for farming. In terms of natural features, the village consists of mountains, hills and flat grassy areas. When it comes to natural resources there is an abundant supply of natural resources.

Pine trees are the main trees that are planted in the catchment areas. While Dieng Sohphie, Dieng Sohplum, Dieng Sohphoh and Dieng Sohbrap are the types of trees that help in water discharge which interprets that they need to develop more of trees for spring discharge so that their problem of water scarcity could be resolved.

However, from the baseline study it was found that there is a risk of landslides which greatly affects the livelihood of the villagers especially with their agricultural activities.

Water Source

From the findings, it can be interpreted that the villages receive an adequate and frequent supply of water from public taps and hand-pumps, however the quality of water is below average and it tends to be blurry. The village also experiences water scarcity in the months of January, March and April.

Environment

The villages understand the importance of conserving the forest and its resources. They have traditional practices related to conservation of the environment in the form of organizing a community cleaning drive and waste management by practicing burning of non-biodegradable waste and disposing of biodegradable waste in a compost pit. Yet,forest land is still being cut down for the need of firewood without considering the impact it may cause such as soil erosion which they do not have any preventive measures for.

Activities

Sensitization Programme & Ground Truthing

The first sensitisation programme was conducted on 25^th June, 2019 in the Community Hall of the village. The programme was presided over by the headman of the village. Approximately 30 residents attended the sensitisation programme. The ADPM of East Khasi Hills, Mr. Pynshngain Rymmai gave an introduction to the Community Led Landscape Management Project (CLLMP) and its various nuances that the community and the CLLMP team should carry out throughout the course of the project. The first priority was establishing the Village Natural Resource Management Committee (VNRMC) and thereafter formulation of the Community Natural Resource Management Plan (CNRMP)was to be prepared.

Formation of VNRMC

The executive committee of the Dorbar Shnong of Mawlyngot after a meeting formed the members of VNRMC on the 22^th March, 2019. The signing of the EOI, VGA and Citizen’s Green Charter and the executive members of the VNRMC was formed on the 5^th July,2019 and was also formally introduced.

6. CNRM PLAN PREPARATION

6.1 Visioning Exercise

The idea is to create a positive environment where the people discuss problems but with a target of solving them, moving to a higher goal, identifying that goal and a collective vision.

There are many ways of facilitating a visioning exercise. If the group is very large then they can be broken into smaller groups, if the group is small, then questions can be posed for each individual. Based on small group discussions or individual maps a depiction of what the village would be ten years from now can be prepared. Facilitators should aim to break the ice and help the group think about their vision. Make the exercise fun by asking “if you had a magic wand what would you change” or “if you had one wish what would you do for your village”. There is no harm in starting from personal aspiration- ask parents what they want for their children or ask youth what their aspirations are.

Each small group or individual can be given a topic/area: forests, agriculture, water, school, health, transport, livelihood, tourism and so on. They can be asked to discuss the problem today that needs to be solved and what they see in this area ten years from now. Based on the discussion or reflection, a combined chart can be prepared, the issues can be written and another chart where the vision/desire/wish/goal can be written for each area. This process helps people to think holistically and not see the project as a source of a few activities.

This vision chart can be a basis to start the next set of discussion, on prioritization of interventions and be a reference document to help plan under the project.

6.2 Prioritization Exercise

The exercise should build on the resource map and baseline information collected to arrive at potential interventions and initiatives the community would like to plan to achieve their vision for improvements in the state of natural resources of their village.

Group Discussion - Groups of different age groups such as youth men, youth women, men above 30, women above 30 years old.
Facilitate each group to discuss the pressures and challenges related to natural resources in the village, existing best practices and knowledge within the village and then envision improvements that could enhance the state of natural resources and contribute to an improved resource base.
Facilitate them to prioritize new interventions and initiatives to achieve these improvements. Map out the proposed interventions and initiatives using the resource map and write up the interventions in a tabular format
Copy the Vision map on paper for the purpose of recording and attach the group discussion points of different groups. The list of participants of each group may be attached for future reference.
Geo-tag intervention sites, take photos of sites during the planning stage to compare through the cycle of intervention.

BUDGET EXPENSES

If the answer to the questions posed in the screening process below is ‘Yes’, mitigation measures would be required to be put in place.↩︎
Natural resource (particularly land) ownership and management in Meghalaya is complex – in the presence of customary norms and formal laws. The project intervention will be particularly mindful of such land ownership issues, particularly the nuances of community and private ownership issues. Screening of land sites identified for project interventions: All land for planned interventions would be undertaken on: Existing land available with the implementing agency; Government land accessed through department transfer; Land taken on lease under relevant legal provisions or through voluntary land donation by beneficiaries or taken through lease deed, private market; Purchase agreement or MOU with relevant institutions (like ADCs, Syiems/Nokmas) for community demand driven interventions. No private land acquisition will be undertaken under any project component.↩︎
Voluntary donation of land would be undertaken as per the following principles: That all donors would compulsorily become beneficiaries i.e. no individual or individuals would end up landless and therefore unable to benefit from the demand driven scheme. Such donors are adequately compensated for land given either in cash (at market rates) by purchasing body or given alternate land by contribution from other members. The process of taking such land would involve: Identification of demand from the community followed by assessment of suitability of land as per design; Drawing up of a MOU or agreement with the concerned parties; Such land taken on voluntary donation basis would be duly registered to avoid future complications↩︎
It is to be noted that poverty is not the only indicator that excludes or deprives a person or group from equal access to resources, services and information. Various other indicators such as ethnicity, clan, gender, religion, place of residence, age and others play a very important role in disabling or excluding people from a range of processes and opportunities. CLLMP aims to strengthen the capacities and knowledge of men, women and youths residing in rural Meghalaya. It also aims to ensure that all groups of people in the community are actively involved in the planning, management and monitoring of various initiatives↩︎
The team needs to be cognisant of the possibilities that influx of workers could lead to adverse social and environmental impacts on local communities, especially if the communities are rural, remote or small. Such adverse impacts may include increased demand for goods and services that can lead to price hikes and crowding out of local consumers, increased volume of traffic and higher risk of accidents, increased demands on the ecosystem and natural resources, social conflicts within and between communities, increased risk of spread of communicable diseases, and increased rates of illicit behaviour and crime↩︎
Wherever labour camps will be set up, it will be ensured that the contract labourers are properlydocumented for, the camps have suitable living conditions with safe drinking water, sanitary toilet facilities (earmarked separately for men and women)etc. Contractors’ agreements will have specific clause to ensure child labour and forced labour and banned at project sites, wages are provided as per legal guidelines, labour camp conditions meet adequate quality norms and every contractual employee have proper work-related documentation. The contract should also include clauses regarding reduction of waste general and safe disposal of waste at camp sites; ensure that workers’ camps and associated facilities are connected to septic tank or other wastewater systems which are appropriate and of sufficient capacity for the number of workers and local conditions; avoid contamination of freshwater resources; place workers’ camps away from environmentally sensitive areas to avoid impacts on the local wildlife; route new access routes for workers’ camps to avoid/minimize environmentally sensitive areas; avoid deforestation around camps; provide adequate training to workers on health and safety standards and ensure that children and minors are not employed directly or indirectly on the project↩︎
