COMMUNITY LED LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT PROJECT


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 the implementation of community led plans will be rolled out in phases throughout the state. The Meghalaya Basin Management Agency (MBMA) will facilitate community-led planning by providing support, technical input, 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 conservation, sustainable use of natural resources, social inclusion, and community mobilisation; building traditional knowledge and learning, mapping natural resource management; strengthening community institutions; and creating linkages with financial institutions and community organisations.
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 NaturalResources 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”
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, agroforestry.
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 is 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

TESTIMONIALS
President – Jibansius Ramshon 
As the headman of the village, I am delighted to share the positive changes brought about by the Community-led Landscape Management Project (CLLMP). This project has addressed some significant challenges our village faced, particularly in terms of water availability and environmental protection.
Firstly, the CLLMP has greatly benefited our village by improving water access. The project has implemented solutions that ensure a reliable and sustainable water supply for our community. This has eliminated the need for children to fetch water from distant locations, allowing them to focus more on their studies and education. Access to clean water is crucial for the health and well-being of our villagers, and the CLLMP has successfully catered to their daily water requirements.
Additionally, the project has had a positive impact on our village's economy. It has provided livelihood opportunities for the youth and women in our community. Through various initiatives and interventions, the CLLMP has empowered them to engage in income-generating activities related to water management and environmental conservation. This has not only improved their economic situation but has also instilled a sense of ownership and responsibility towards the environment.
The CLLMP has played a vital role in raising awareness and educating our community about the importance of preserving and maintaining the environment. The project has worked towards restoring the greenery of the forest and the surroundings, emphasizing the significance of environmental conservation. As a result, the minds and actions of our villagers have been positively influenced, leading to a more sustainable and eco-friendly way of life.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the entire team of the CLLMP project for their tireless efforts and unwavering support. Their intervention has not only transformed our village but also gained recognition from various communities and departments. The project's success has resulted in receiving several awards, which further validate the positive impact it has had on our community.
In conclusion, the CLLMP has brought about significant improvements in our village, ranging from improved water access, livelihood opportunities, environmental consciousness, and recognition from others. We are grateful for the positive changes and commend the efforts of the project team in making our village what it is today.

By educating the community about environmental protection, the project has likely raised awareness about the importance of preserving the environment for future generations. Additionally, the implementation of various interventions has helped in creating sustainable livelihoods for the villagers.
My role as a Secretary has given me firsthand experience in managing administrative tasks and keeping records and accounts. This experience is valuable as it has helped me to develop skills in organization, documentation, and financial management. It's a great experience as I had the opportunity to interact with different people associated with the project, as this has given me a broader understanding of the work being done and the resources allocated to various initiatives in the village. Overall, the project has been a transformative and empowering experience for me and the entire community. It's important to continue building upon the progress made and sustain the positive changes that have been brought about.

I was selected as a Social and Knowledge Management VCF in the village and through it I have gained enormous knowledge and experience in various work related to the project and also the community. During my tenure as a VCF I have had the experience to attend various trainings, to look after aspects of management of the natural resources within the village. This role has not only benefited me personally but also to my family as I can support and pool financially to meet the requirements of my family.

With the coming of the project, it has helped us to think of
Conservation and protection and to think of a Sustainable
environment that will benefit us as a community in the long run. The
project has taught us how to work on NRM activities by providing us
with the latest technological devices that we can use while working
on the field and through this it has helped me to map the entire
forest area by using GPS devices. Lastly, I would like to thank the
Project for its hard work and dedication to uplift our village as
their commitment has helped us to think about how to work ahead,
protecting and finding solutions to various problems that we might
face in the years to come.
