COMMUNITY LED LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT PROJECT
MEGHALAYA BASIN MANAGEMENT AGENCY
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 manner throughout the state. The Meghalaya Basin Management Agency (MBMA) will facilitate community-led planning by providing support, technical inputs and funding.
Theprojectisintendedtostrengthen Community Led Natural Resources Managementinselected 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 organisations.
The project interventions will include preparation of community led natural resource management plans. The CLLMP has the following three components:
1. Strengthening Knowledge and Capacity of Communities for Natural Resources Management
2. Community-Led Landscape Planning and Implementation
3. 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”
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.
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 is estimated that the project will impact around 1 lakh partners (of which 50% are women) who depend on land, forest, agro forestry.
Through the project, 55000 Ha of targeted area will be ensured with availability of water, biological resources and soil productivity, which will in turn benefit around 400 villages and the outcomes delivery can be summarized as follows.
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

History of larket Village:
According to Shri. Dren Pdang, a senior citizen, Pynurkba village was formed by (late) Shri. Wariah Bareh and (late) Smt. Tein Dkharand later inhabited by the Kur Pdang and Kur Rymbai. The Kur Dkhar clan mostly cultivated on plain land while the Kur Pdang and Kur Rymbai clans cultivated on slopes. They would cultivate vegetables such as Cucumber, Bitter Gourd, Bitter Tomato, Bringal, Mustard Greens, Cassava, Pumpkins, Corn, Sweet Potato, Yam, Salah Ngan, Salah Rasu, Salah Thang, Salah Lieh (which are different types of potatoes), and planted fruit trees such as Orange, Grape fruit, Banana, Passion fruit, Soh Kymphria ( similar to Lime), Guava, Soh Syrman (similar to Lemon), Silver Berry, Bay Berry. They would then sell these including RedRice and some locally made handicrafts in the border markets and in return they will buy salt, sugar, fish and Roof tins. Bamboo drip irrigation was also practiced back then.
Village Profile:
The village has a total area of 17.97 sq. km as per the village boundary given by the community. The area mostly falls under forest cover which are mostly dense & open and these belong to the community & individuals. The main source of drinking water is from PHE tap water and numerous springs such as Um Khloo, Um Pajat etc. There are also numerous fishery ponds which belong to individual owners. There are community culturable wasteland such as Pdak Pdak, Puriang, Shnongrim, Lum Iap Syiar and Lum Roman which can be used for many interventions. Agriculture is the main occupation of Pynurkba village where they mainly take up traditional approaches of cultivation like jhum or shifting cultivation. The farmersmostly cultivate paddy and vegetables. There are two schools inside the village, out of which one is a Lower Primary School and the other is a Primary School. The health dispensary and Bank is 17 km away and the Post office is 23 km away from the village.

GROUND TRUTHING
Dated: 19th November2018
Larket village falls under the NESAC list, the DPMU team met with the local headman to gather information about the village and conducted site verification. This village was also suggested by the Deputy Commissioner of East Jaintia Hills District and BDO of Khliehriat Block
Case Findings: -
1. There are1springs which the whole community highly depend on and these springs tend to dry up during the winter season. So during this dry period, the people depend on other privately owned springs for drinking water and streams which are located far away from the village for washing clothes.
2. Shifting cultivation is the main agricultural practice and this has resulted to soil becoming highly infertile and loose.
3. The productivity of the land is decreasing with each passing year.
SENSITIZATION PROGRAMME
Dated: 19th November 2018
The sensitization programme at larket Village took place on the 24th August 2019 at the Community Hall of larket Village.

4. PRA EXERCISE & PREPARATION OF CNRMP
18th – 25th AUGUST 2020
Dated – 18thAugust 2020
Venue: Larket village Community Hall
The PRA exercise aims to incorporate the knowledge and opinions of the community in the planning and management of development projects and programmes. There were a total of 65 participants taking part in this exercise who contributed their time and knowledge to this project.
i) Drawing of the Resource and Social Map
The participated in drawing the resource and social map of larket village. They started by drawing the roads, the village boundary, then the landmarks, the community forest, the rivers/streams and lastly the springs. With time, the map design got better and better as more participants got involved and shared their inputs. The DPMU and SPMU team made the participants understand that by drawing the resource map, they would have greater knowledge on the location and distribution of their available resources.
ii. Re-orientation session on preparation of CNRM plan
The purpose of this session is to revisit the CNRM plan and to identify all the key areas in the plan that needs improvement and reworked. The topics of discussions are as follows:
The major issue with old plan was that it was very limited and the DPD advised the VNRMC members to work with DPMU team in order to prepare a new plan that exceeds more than 10 years.
The plan should not be focussed only on water conservation but also on other interventions such as Land productivity enhancement, Agro-forestry activities, Community nurseries and Capacity building.
All the plans should relate with one another.
There is a huge area of cultivable wasteland (587.26 ha) that can be reclaimed and by practicing Agro-forestry can benefit and improve the livelihoods of the farmers.
It is important to know the area of the intervention site before implementing any activity.
Before any afforestation activity, it it important to first identify the nature of the soil in order for the VNRMC to have a better idea on the types of tree species which can survive in their village. If the proposed afforestation site is far away from the village, the DPD suggested in identifying tree species which cattle and goats don’t like to feed on.
Proper management of the available forest is needed to avoid any over exploitation such as unnecessary felling of trees for firewood.
Preparation of CNRMP in Larket Village
Dated – 21th August 2020
Group 1 – Preparation of Seasonal Calendar
Findings as per the Seasonal Calendar:
January – June | July - December | |
---|---|---|
Plantation | Mustard greens, Potato, Cabbage, Paddy, Cassava, Cucumber,Chilli, Bitter tomato, Yam, Corn, Broom,Orange, Jackfruit, Passion fruit | Paddy, Orange, Passion fruit, Jackfruit, Corn, Mustard greens, Radish, Carrot, French bean, Salad, Cabbage, Beetroot, |
Harvesting | Mustard greens, French bean, Broom, Potato, Cabbage, Corn | Mustard green, Jackfruit, Pineapple, Colocasia, Orange Corn, Cucumber, Bitter tomato, Chilli, Pumpkin, Cassava, Passion fruit, Beetroot, Radish, Yam, Carrot, Potato |
Pest infestation is at large during the month of June – August.
Water availability improves after the month of May and starts decreasing after November.
There is adequate amount of rainfall during the monsoon but little to no rainfall from November till April.
People tend to fall sick during the month of March – May.
Group 2 – Drawing of the resource & social map on chart paper
Group 3 –Problem Analysis
Findings:
At present, there are no constraints to access of fodder, fuel wood and fodder but the participants’ belief that with time and with increase in population they will eventually start decreasing.
Some of the water bodies are polluted due to domestic waste, siltation and also turn up dry during the winter season.
There is always a shortage of drinking water starting from the month of November till April and then the community has to depend on water bodies which are 2 to 3 km away from the village.
As seen on the map below, a large portion of the land is highly degraded and therefore soil erosion and open/degraded forest is common. Shifting cultivation, growth in population, open grazing etc. are some of the causes to this degradation.
To cope with the increase in population, the people had to adapt from the traditional agricultural practices to a modern approach by using machines, fertilizers, pesticides etc.
Due to water scarcity, most of the land is left uncultivated and then they are prone to soil erosion. Climate change has deeply affected farmers as most of their crops would get damaged by heavy rainfall and pest proliferation.
There are no proper drains for domestic effluents and the runoff ends up polluting some water bodies.
Most of the conflicts and disagreements are resolved during the village Dorbar
Group 4 – Identification of Intervention Sites
Findings based on the discussion
According to the VNRMC their first prioritise is constructing a retaining wall to prevent soil erosion in SSA Lower primary school.
The participants all agreed on the construction of a spring chamber in Khlieh Umwar which is a community spring.
Shri. Hamlet Pdang suggested on construction of a spring chamber in Daitharoh and also a loose boulder around the spring to prevent any soil erosion.
Shri Rass Rymbai and Shri. Philip Pdang suggested on building a check dam in Khlieh Umwar which is one of the streams the local community highly depend on.
The participants suggested Mooprah as the best site for Agro-forestry, Loose boulder check dam and Jalkund for rain water harvesting
As there is a community forest and agricultural land in Puriang (a site), Smt. Taimon Pdang and Shri. Philip Rymbai suggested a need of a dug out pond, a community nursery and a composting area.
Larshah site was also suggested for horticulture practice.
Group 5 – Vision Map
Vision Plan of larket village

Review of the progress and in-situ course in the Preparation of CNRMP
Dated: 24th August 2020
The Asst. Manager Knowledge Management prepared a presentation based on the activities completed and this was presented by the ADPM. The DPD and GM gave their inputs and remarks which are as follows:
According to the GM Knowledge Management there is a lack of information under Problem Analysis with women/vulnerable groups.
The DPD NRM suggested the VNRMC and DPMU team to identify sites where earthen dams can be built as the materials required are available in the village and also the design is relatively simple.
He also advised the VNRMC to work with the DPMU team to identity the local tree species and their usage.
In Puriang,a proposed intervention site, the DPD advised to treat the landscape following the ridge to valley approach.
For any afforestation site which is located far away from the village, he suggested of planting only those tree species which cattle and goats do not like to feed upon.
Presentation of CNRMP to the VNRMC
Dated: 25th August 2020
i. Documenting the History of larket village
With the help of Shri. Dren Pdang, a senior resident of the village, the Asst. Manager Knowledge Management was able to document the timeline of the village on the social and development aspects.
ii. Problem Analysis with the Women/Vulnerable Group
Findings:
The community women are involved in decision making but there also some instances where only men are involved.
Part of the Dorbar: The participant agreed that at present the village women have come forward to take part in meetings and also be members of the local governing body (dorbar shnong committee).
Water problems: the problems related to water have always been highlighted but the women feel that they are the ones who are most vulnerable especially during the winter season as they have to walk a long distance just to fetch water which is stressful and time consuming.
Sanitation: The participants feel that the village needs to do more to improve as there is no proper drainage system for domestic effluents. These effluents end up contaminating water bodies such as springs and streams which can cause severe health problems.
When asked about the different interventions proposed they all agreed that solving the water crisis of the village should be the number one priority and doing that will help improve all livelihood activities.
Presentation of CNRMP to the VNRMC
On 25th August 2020, the ADPM and the entire DPMU team thanked all the members of the VNRMC and VCF’s who had work with the team from the first day in order to help bring changes to help the entire community. The ADPM presented the CNRM plan to the VNRMC members and VCF’s as to conclude the entire week’s program. They were briefed once again on all the activities that were completed, the different types of interventions which were proposed along with their benefits and the roles and responsibilities of each VCF.

6. CNRM PLAN PREPARATION
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 map 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 you would 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 purpose of record 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.

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↩︎
