Partnership with NABARD as Resource
Support Organization |
WASSAN is functioning as Resource Support Organization (RSO)
for Karimnagar, Adilabad, Mahabubnagar and Khammam districts
for NABARD (National Bank for Agriculture and Rural
Development) supported watershed development projects in the
state. These projects are related to Watershed Development
Fund (WDF) and Indo German Watershed Development Program (IGWDP).
About 40 NGOs are functioning as Project Facilitating
Agencies (PFA) under these projects, covering about 1,00,000
hectares of watershed area. As a RSO, WASSAN is offering
technical, managerial and monitoring support to these
projects. It includes capacity building and hand holding at
watershed/community level during various stages of the
project. During the initial phase of these projects, WASSAN
offered professional support in conceptualizing the
guidelines and related processes, at various stages. Later,
it also took active part in identification of relevant NGOs
and suitable villages for the project. Conducting regular
meetings for planning, reviewing and monitoring is an
important function of WASSAN as RSO. The support extended to
the partners has enabled the field NGOs to go through the
critical bottlenecks and move into the Final Implementation
Phase (FIP). Meanwhile, WASSAN developed various
communication material and modules that are specifically
relevant to NABARD
projects.
