COMMUNITY LED LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT PROJECT

WB.jpgCommunity 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 12 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)

12. GROUND TESTIMONIALS:

5

Mr. Lokkistar Mawlong

VCF Shngimawlein

According to Mr. Lokkistar Mawlong he said that since the Community Led Landscape Management Project was implemented, they have indeed benefited from it in the length and breadth of their village. We have received Spring Chambers from this Project in every locality within our village and this has indeed helped the people during the dry season. In many areas which have no vegetation and left barren for many years they have now seen the young tree sapling because of the afforestation implemented by the office. I have also received trainings related with NRM through this office.

Resparland Lyngkhoi

VCF M&E

First and foremost, Mr. Resparland Lyngkhoi would like to thanked the DPMU CLLMP South West Khasi Hills for all the works that have benefited their village and all the staff that had support them in every step of the way. As a VCF I have always take my chance to learn new things, and being with CLLMP has taught me not only how to write, update and maintain the book of records such as the purchase register, cheque issue register, payment voucher, etc. but I have also learned to test the quality of the water, calculate the spring discharge, or the pH of the water. I had also attended training on Seed-Ball Making and I would have not known about all these if it was not because of my interest in gathering more knowledge and the esteemed office that had provided me with such a space to learn.

Balari Lyngkhoi

Secretary VNRMC

I am thankful to have had the opportunity to learn and grow with this office. I have gained a lot of experience throughout the years as a secretary in the VNRMC. Seeing that this office aimed at conserving our forest, land and water, it helps us to also be aware and teach our children the importance of our surrounding.

Mr.Khlingdar Wahlang

President Shngimawlein VNRMC

“I am very grateful to the DPMU CLLMP South West Khasi Hills District for their guidance since the commencement of this Project in our village. We have indeed benefitted from this Project in many ways whereby, the beneficiaries have also expressed their gratitude as their lands that have once been barren, are now blessed with the intervention such as afforestation and in areas whereby erosion is a frequent occurrence, have received boulder bunds to prevent erosion of the soil in their Paddy areas.”
