Community Led Landscape Management Project (CLLMP)

The Government of Meghalaya with financial help from the World Bank is implementing the Meghalaya Community Led Landscape Management Project (MCLLMP). The project will cover the entire state of Meghalaya and implementation of community led plans will be rolled out in 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 resources management in selected landscapes within the 11 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 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 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 will be 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 will also extend such training 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 will also invest in improving the process and outcome delivery, by developing and adhering to effective systems and procedures, supported by the appropriate technology.

History of Nonglum Village, New Jirang Ri-Bhoi District

Nonglum village is one of the 6 villages that form up New Jirang and is located in the South. It was founded on 09/05/2002 by Shri Sevenman Thangkhiew an Elder of the King’s Durbar who was given authority by The Syiem of Jirang (L) Shri. Lokendro Syiem and it then consisted of only 15 households.

As there were no roads connected to the village a footpath was constructed in the year 2004-05 with the help of the then MLA Shri. J.D.Rymbai. In the same year 7 platforms to provide water were constructed by the PHE department to supply water to the village. The MGNREGA scheme was started in the village in the year 2007 and through this scheme the village was able to construct footpaths and also an unpaved road which leads to the village. As the village is growing in size and population therefore various government offices like the Block office (Jirang C&RD Block), the District Council, and Social Forestry have provided assistance with the construction of footpaths.

In the year 2010 the Social Forestry department has taken the initiative for the development and preservation of the village Catchment area for 5 years, apart from assistance with the construction of footpaths it has also helped the village with digging of a well to supply drinking water to the villagers. The PHE department on top of providing water to the village further assisted 25 households in the village in the construction of pit latrines in the year 2012. The MESEB department helped 25 households to receive electricity connections in 2012 to 25 households through the BPL scheme.

The village got a SSA L.P school in the year 2007 and an Assam type building was built for the school in the same year. Due to the growing number of students and households in the village the Office of the School Education Officer, Nongpoh helped in the construction of a bigger and better building of which the construction was started in 2013 and completed in 2018. In the year 2016 the E.E. Water Resource, Nongpoh Division enlisted the village in the “Jal Kranti Abhiyan” project and this office has helped to construct 3 wells and a spring to provide drinking water to the village. The office of the Deputy Commissioner Ri-Bhoi District granted the village with 8 solar powered street lights in the year 2019 through the Rural Development Agency Ri-Bhoi district. The office of the BDO Jirang C&RD Block helped 27 economically weaker households build their homes from 2009-2019.

With the inclusion of the Jirang C&RD Block Office and other offices under the area of the Block the number of houses in the village reached 63 houses in the year 2019 and the village was enlisted in the working Programme of BASIN through CLLMP and development was started with the construction of Vermicomposting sites in the year 2020.

The PHE further participated by building latrines for 38 individual households till the year 2020, and a survey was also done to supply drinking water to each and every household through the JJM scheme. The village is trying to construct a cemented road through MGNREGA as there is no PWD road.

TESTIMONIALS

President- Retaincius Lapang

With the coming of this project in our village we get a lot of benefits ranging from cleanliness to the preservation of the environment. We were also able to make our own organic manure in various plantation activities and it has been progressing lately through every effort from the office as well as the community.

The changes before and after this project came is that before we lacked a lot in terms of water supply but now we get adequate supply through the check dam that was constructed in our community. With the coming of this project, we get to do better with what we are having and to strive further towards our commitment in strengthening and protecting the environment.

Secretary- Pynshaisngi Thangkhiew

This project comes with enormous benefits to everyone in the village. From learning to love Mother Nature to getting paid while working on various implementations, this project has it all catering to the needs of not just the environment but also to the local communities thereby serving as a means of livelihood to everyone. Being the Secretary, I get to focus work for the overall well being of the project as well as the village. This position has provided me with various knowledge, awareness and ideas that were not known to me and in this manner I get to share such insightful knowledge with the rest of the community.

VCF/ M&E- Banrilang Thangkhiew

I took this part as a Monitoring & Evaluation facilitator as I was interested to work for the development of the village. My role revolves around the implementations that were implemented, to look after the duration of these activities, their progress and to make sure that these interventions serve the interest of not just the present generation but also those of the coming generations. This project has surely answered the needs and requirements of the village, especially to us VCFs who are working at the bottom level through their thorough and detailed training as well as exposure visits that were organized from time to time, making our job much easier and interesting to work.

VCF- Ithabashan Sangma

I took the role of a VCF in Social & Knowledge management with an intention to look for the overall betterment of the village, its cleanliness, to educate the community about the project and the initiative it has towards building and protecting our environment by working in harmony with nature. Through this project I have received various teachings mainly on NRM, but also on how to take care of the activities like Vermicompost, Nursery and most importantly their Exposure visits which help us to work on the field more efficiently. In all this, the sustainability of the works under this project is one that is very impressive and this will help us as a village to grow and prosper immensely among others. I hope that all the implementations of this Project will be maintained, protected and taken care of greatly so that the future generations will get to learn the NRM work and conservation that was taken up under this project.
