COMMUNITY LED LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT PROJECT

Community Led Landscape Management Project (CLLMP)

The Government of Meghalaya with the financial help from the World Bank has been implementing the Meghalaya Community Led Landscape Management Project (MCLLMP). The project covers the entire state of Meghalaya and implementation of community led plans have been rolled out in phase manner throughout the state. The Meghalaya Basin Management Agency (MBMA) had facilitated the community-led planning by providing support, technical inputs and funding.

The project had strengthened community-led natural resources management in selected landscapes within the 11 districts of the state. This has been 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 mobilisation; 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 include the 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”

SCOPE:

The CLLM-Programme focuses on increasing the capacities of communities and traditional institutions (TI) by adopting a landscape approach to manage their natural resources such as soil, springs and other water sources, forests and bio-diversity, etc.

The project has been planned and implemented in about 400 villages across the state.

CLLMP has a strong focus on institution-building at the village-level, by ensuring systematic capacity-building on technical and social skill-sets.

The project has also extended such trainings to communities beyond the targeted villages and support efforts made by them to access funding from various rural and natural resources initiatives and schemes.

The programme has also invested in improving the process and outcome delivery, by developing and adhering to effective systems and procedures, supported by the appropriate technology.

BENEFITS:

Benefits for community (Skills and Capacity relating to technical and managerial areas like NRM and Conflict resolution.

Benefits to traditional institutions (village councils, traditional leaders, community-based organizations, SHGs etc) through Knowledge sharing, promotion of innovative approach, access to technology, technical managerial and financial support.

It has been estimated that the project has impacted around 1 lakh partners (of which 50% are women) who depend on land, forest, agro forestry.

Through the project, 55000 Ha of targeted area has been ensured with availability of water, biological resources and soil productivity, which has in turn benefitted around 400 villages and the outcomes delivery can be summarized as follows.

IMPLEMENTATION AGENCY:

The Project has been executed by the MBMA in collaboration with other partners particularly, SIRD (for training and capacity building), Department of Soil and Water Conservation, Water Resource Department, Forest Department, specifically with respect to technical inputs, safeguards management and Community NRM plan preparation.

PROJECT PERIOD:

2018-2023 (5 years)

Kynmawlin Shangdiar(VCF Envt)

$H:\Bala\IMG-20230825-WA0058.jpg$ Through this project CLLMP I ,Kynmawlin Shangdiar(VCF Envt) , feels that I have benefit so much from the Spring Chambers where we have received drinking water , regarding the greenery of the environment through Afforestation, agro-horticulture, to control soil erosion through protection walls, also to collect water through contour trench, check dams, bench terrace and water conservation. From these activities as a VNRMC we have learned to take responsibility to conserve our own environment.

Kitborlang Nongrum(President)

I, the President and as a VNRMC, we are grateful towards the CLLMP project as we have benefit so much from the work they have provided such as the Afforestation in forest blank area, nursery, spring chambers for drinking water and for other use as well, water conservation dam for collecting water and even after this project has ended, they will be responsible in conserving the surroundings. With the coming of this project it has also bought about a short term employment for us.

Alkamerry Syiemlieh(Purchase Committee)

As a Purchase Committee, I have undergone training on Community procurement &Soft skills project and I have learned to maintain different registers, in selecting the supplier in buying the materials needed. We have also benefit when we received the spring chambers because we do not have easy access to drinking water.
