Making them Better: Gap Analysis, Enabling &Disabling Factors And Recommendations

This volume conducts a detailed and systematic analysis of processes. Gap analysis is conducted for each key event of the project management cycle. The designed and desirable processes are narrated followed by processes followed on the ground (most common and rare). These are analyzed to give a picture of critical concerns and implications. The enabling and disabling factors behind the processes were also mentioned. These insights are drawn from several sources - process (soft) data, hard data, discussions with the facilitators on the selected themes, case studies, policy changes in the state/ districts etc. Based on such a thorough analysis of processes, recommendations are proposed for making the watershed process better. As a principle, all recommendations were proposed based on 'evidence' on the ground. The evidence could be from a small number of watersheds or even a single watershed. The main idea was to pick up the 'real experience' and 'up scale' the lessons and principles through policy reform. While making the process improvements, the need for revisiting the watershed approach itself was recognized. An attempt is made to make a distinction between 'watershed project' and 'watershed approach'.
