North Eastern Region Community Resource Management Project for Uplands Areas (NERCORMP II)

General

The project, built on the first phase, has the goal to improve the livelihood of vulnerable groups in a sustainable manner through improved management of their natural resource base. It aims to address the existing issues of inefficient government service mechanism in the livelihood sector and the absence of ideal development projects in the north-east region of India benefiting 23,000 households. Land related activities describe the bottom-up model as the project emphasizes on active community participation in the planning and implementation processes. The formation of community building organisations are a key to implementation - Natural Resource Management Groups and Self Help Groups, predominantly of women members, are formed in the project villages for this purpose.
