Intensive Participatory Planning Exercise

IPPEIPPE

Need for Participatory Planning

It is easily understood that the people of a village know better them any outsider. To Address their problems and improve their situation. Participatory planning is an approach and a methodology which helps identify community problems and to Plan solutions with the active participation of community members. Facilitates the identification, preparation and design of community project based on the reality and criteria of its members. It is a people- centric process that puts the poorest first.

Key Features And Benefits of Participation

It teaches skills which last beyond the planning process. Shifts control of development from a few to the lager community and increases ownershipIncreases the credibility of the projects that are taken up because they have emerged from a collective decision making process.

Key Steps In The Planning Process

Step -1: Orientation on meeting Meeting of Block officials To the identified BPT members Orientation meeting of elected heads of GP’s, members of JP’s, and GP/Block level functionaries of community based organizations. The meeting will finalize the block level IPPE Calendar.

Key Steps In The Planning Process

Step -2: First Visit to GP

BPT & Block officials explain IPPE to all elected

members of the GP

GP facilitates a meeting of the BPT with elected

Representatives and identified members of people’s

institutions. Meeting identifies local contact persons for

villages/hamlets/wards and finalises IPPE calendar for GP.

Key Steps In The Planning Process

Step -3: understanding the community

Opening discussion in public meeting at the

ward/hamlet/village.

FGDs with key stakeholders, undertaking social mapping,

Amenities mapping, Resource Mapping, Transect walk,

Household survey for Identified Most Vulnerable

Households, seasonality Analysis, Problem Analysis.

Key Steps In The Planning Process

Step -4: Planning for development Visioning exercise fot Village Development through MGNREGS. Identification of MGNREGS Work through FGDs With stakeholders and transect walks. Prioritising of works at the ward/hamlet/village level. Matching works to Demand for Employment.

Step -5: Presentation of plan First at the sub- panchayat level. Final prioritization and approval in gram sabha.

IEC Activities

Understanding the Community

Tools to understand the community provides us with information on :

Vulnerable Communities Vulnerable Households Their current status in terms of MGNREGA employment and Assets Their current resource ownership & Control (Community & individual) Their need for MGNREGA Employment with seasonality of needTheir need for Assets in terms of community and individual assets.

Key Acctivities

Social map

Seasonality mapping

Door to door survey at thr habitation level

Resource Mapping

Transect walk

Key Activities – 1. Social Map

Social Map presents information of different households residing in the location.

Basic focus is on Vulnerability groups and their information about MGNREGA registration, employment and individual asset creation.

It also depicts amenities available in the area to discuss the potential of MGNREGA by plotting current assets and the need & potential to develop new ones.

A team of one facilitator, one observer and one documenter helps in facilitating social maps.

Key Activities – 1. Social Map

Key questions which it helps in answering :

How many households in villages & where are they located?

Institutions and amenities found in the village and where?

Assets previously created under MGNREGA and employment status of past year

Socio-economic status of Vulnerable groups.

Key Activities – 2. Seasonality Map

Life and Livelihoods in villages of India vary from season to season.

There are seasons when there is a lot of Agricultural work, forest produce work and wage employment availability.

Also there are lean seasons when neither Agricultural work nor common property based livelihoods are available. These seasons can be harnessed for MGNREGA employment.

To create Seasonality Maps, use the names of seasons and months as locally used by people.

Key Activities – 2. Seasonality Map

Seasonality of livelihoods and employment varies between different communities and between women and men.

For example,Among forest neighbouring communities, ST

households and especially women, might be having greater dependence on Non Timber Forest Produce (e.g Mahua flower or Tendu Patta Collection).

Key Activities – 2. Seasonality Map

How to make a Seasonality Map?

Introduce the purpose and ask the participants on how the local people divide the year. Let the community construct the calendar rather than directing the process. Take the variables such as Agriculture, wage employment, migration, MGNREGA work, forest resources, etc. on the top side. Focus attention on one particular variable and encourage people to plot this on the calendar using drawing symbols or objects. Eg. Labour demand, determine the 4 least busy months, lean period etc.

Example of a Seasonal Calendar for Livelihood :

Key Activities – Resource MappingHow to make a Resource mapping

Collect the revenue maps of the target villages. Carry material required for drawing resource map on the earth/floor of chart papers. Identify 2-3 persons from the village/hamlet who have knowledge and understanding about revenue map and land. Preparing the map in the villageThe following are the major step a. Step 1- lay out village boundary b. Step 2- mark out directions c. Step 3- draw major rivers, existing NRLM assets d. Step 4- refine by drawing out patches of land (either by patta/community/soil/crop)with the help of the community.

Key Activities – Transect walk

What is a transect walk

Transect walk gives us an actual feel of the habitation as well as the resources. To given idea of housing conditions and nature of amenities available in the village. Transect across agricultural fields can provide an idea about land use, drainage, soil quality and so on.Materials and time required Large sheets of paper, markers, notebooks/paper and pens are needed to make a copy of the diagram and also for the note-taker to record the discussion generated
