Objectives
• Strengthening institutions and capacities for accelerated watershed development.
• Improving watershed management through greater coordination & integration of Central & State Programs.
• Developing rainfed areas with a greater focus.
• Adopting innovative and science based approaches towards rainfed agriculture.
Activities involved
• Institutional & human capacity building in watershed institutions of DoLR, SLNAs, WCDCs, WDTs, GPs & WCs.
• Data base development and participatory planning; monitoring, evaluation & learning (MEL); and R&D.
• MEL will provide continuous feedback to PMU & other stakeholders on the progress & quality of Project intervention.
• Reinforcing a culture of results-based management for evidence-based decision making processes of both strategic and operational nature at all levels.
Expected Outcomes
• Increased agricultural productivity at a minimum of 20% over baseline values.
• Improved capacities of stakeholders.
• Strengthened science base of watershed management by enhancing the understanding of hydrological dynamics and climate variability and developing tools for measuring and integrating them with the planning process.
Expected Outcomes
• Adoption of innovations & decision support information to help address the needs of small and marginal farmers in planning and implementation.
• Strengthened existing delivery extension systems to increase opportunities to adopt new technologies.
• Effective convergence between IWMP & MGNREGS etc.
for sustainable development.
• Bring rural asset-less people coming into mainstream by promoting livelihoods opportunities, better management of CPRs, soil and water conservation, etc.
Expectation from States
• Establishing dedicated Watershed Directorate • SLNA must have a full time CEO • An operational PIU with core Team headed by CEO is to be placed • Dedicated Team to implement project at District & Project level is to be placed • Independent monitoring, evaluation and learning system through outside 3 rd party agency.
