EAST KHASI HILLS DISTRICT

DISTRICT PROJECT MANAGEMENT UNIT (DPMU)

The Government of Meghalaya has launched its flagship program, the Integrated Basin Development Project (IBDLP) in 2012. IBLP is a citizen-centric and demand-driven program that focuses on the development of community participation and capacity building as the pathway to sustainable eco-systems development.

Nestled under IBDPL, the Community Led Landscape Management Programme of the Government of Meghalaya looks at natural resources management through a community-led landscape approach. The Community-Led Landscape Management Project (CLLMP), which receives support from the World Bank, is a part of the CLLM-Programme.

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

Objective:

“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 is focused on enhancing the capacities of communities and traditional institutions (TI) through the use of a landscape approach to manage their natural resources, such as soil, springs and other water sources, forests, and bio-diversity.
The project will be planned and implemented in about 400 villages across the state.
The CLLMP places a significant emphasis on establishing local institutions by providing systematic capacity-building in both technical and social skill areas.
The project will also provide such training to communities outside of the villages that are being targeted and will aid those communities in their attempts to obtain money from other rural and natural resources projects and programmes.

By creating and following efficient systems and procedures and utilising the right technology, the programme will also make an investment in enhancing the delivery of the process and results.

Benefits:

Benefits for community (Skills and Capacity relating to technical and managerial areas like NRM and Conflict resolution.
Traditional institutions (village councils, traditional leaders, community-based organisations, SHGs, etc.) gain from knowledge sharing, the promotion of innovative approaches, access to technology, technical managerial support, and financial assistance.
The project is expected to have an impact on approximately 1 lakh partners, half of whom are women and rely on land, forests, and agroforestry.
A total of 400 communities will benefit from the project's efforts, which will ensure that the 55000 Ha of the targeted area has access to water, biological resources, and productive soil. The project's outcomes can be summed up as follows.

Implementation Agency:

The Project will be 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)
