CAPACITY BUILDING AND RESEARCH
The last two years of the Project period will be specially focused on consolidating the efforts in the light of experience gained during Project Implementation and evolving strategies for post Project continuity. The emphasis would be on building strong institutions of local self-governance (VPs & SHGs), which would not only help in accomplishing project targets, but also lay a formidable base for achieving sustainable livelihoods, and an elixir for addressing problems of ecological destruction.
