The objective of this FoA is to develop partnerships to provide capacity building and field level support services for NGOs, their Networks and Community Based Organizations. In the process, it collaborates with several academic, research and financial institutions. These partnerships provide an experimental learning ground for several innovative approaches in improving NRM based livelihoods of the poor and women. More importantly, these field-based initiatives provide valuable insights for the policy modifications. The experiences provide proof-of-concept on advocacy issues and feed into the policy formulation processes. With this mandate, the Support Service Centre has taken up several initiatives during the period, across the state and country; the agenda was broadly related to watersheds, rainfed agriculture and drought adaptation etc.
