States on Resilience

7. Key action programs on fair climate & community resilience
Micro- water Initiaves Promotion
• Prevention of Degradation (land mass development)
• Biodiversity conservation( farm & forestry)
• Efficient Resource use & Green Energy( solar, Biogas &
Biomass)
• Life skill Development( Vocational & entrepreneurship)
• Sanitation, waste recycle , house hold nutrition( personal
Hygiene & nutrition)
• Adaptive Action Research
• Networking for Climate Governance

8. The relevance of the concept in the Odisha context:
“
Floods, Droughts, Cyclones, Earth quakes,
Tornadoes, Heat waves, Village fire, lightening,
Distressed Migrations, Environmental Hazards,
foeticides, trafficking Extremists”: What Next?
• Odisha unfortunately is in the path
way of depressions and cyclones
formed in the Bay of Bengal during
south west monsoon. With advance
in global warming and climate change
if sea storms acquire greater
destructive power as is being
forecast, the state will be required to
bear the brunt of such storms which
means all the gains of development
will be washed away in flood/storms
waters.
Orissa and climate Change
Solar influence
over
climate change
Sea level rise -
Coastal inundation
Temperature
Rise and Heat
Wave
Variability in
monsoons –
affecting crop
production And
Drought
Distress
migration
• Increased Extremist and Conflicts
• Increased degrading of Natural resource base
• Increase in Human & Other Life form stress, fear,
health hazards
Extreme Weather and
unforeseen floods and
droughts

10. High Socio- and economic inequity
Skewed land distribution
Low productivity
High debts tarps/credits
Shifting from productivity to high profit
Livelihood displacement
Rituals /feudal systems
Unorganized
OVER HUNDRED THOUSAND POOR PEOPLE
MIGRATED
OUT IN DISTRESS & In Climate Change Distressed
Migration will be manifold

11. • Food insecure for nine months as a result
people do migrate for immediate
employment and economic gain finding no
other means
• Brought easily more dreadful diseases like
TB, HIV/AIDS, followed by nutritional and
health hazards.
• More suicidal deaths will be occurred
•Survival risk (covers food, water, health, nutrition and
basic needs)
• Social risk (covers community cohesiveness, ethical and
cultural relationships with better education, sanitation)
•Economical Risk (covers production, marketing, credit
and linkages)
• Environmental Risk (covers climate change and
temperature rise, deforestation and desertification) that is
moving towards desertification in western and inlands of
Orissa to generate a assured livelihoods.
Sexually Abused

12. Vidrav, Ap, Gujarat & Odisha…..

13. LAND
Vanishing Mitigation mechanism
WATER
FOREST
INSTITUTION
Multiple farming & nutrition at backyard
FOOD SECURITY
Kata, Muda, Bandh, Sagar: a regulatory system
Fruit, Root & Shoot: a diversity
Grain Gola, Seeds bank: in need
Cultural bondage: an organic chain
Coastal Inundation Mangroves lost; Natural barrier banished

14. What we do
LAND related
High % of unbunded uplands
Undulated & Uneven land & Accelerated
Soil erosion ,
less cultivable area
recurrent drought Frequent
op loss
single cropping
no diversification
water related…
Erratic & scanty rainfall
less storage capacity due to heavy
siltation
No proper drainage system
Low water retention , conservation
Poor water management
Forest related…
Commercial plantation leads to
Deforestation
Encroachment
Degraded and Eroded
reduced NTFP
Exposed rocks
Temperature hike & moving towards
desertification lead to Ecological imbalance
Titlagada becomes tatlagada
Institutiom related
Poor intra and inter relationship
 Village institutions not institutionalized
 Poor cohesiveness at village
 Poor governance
extension related
Poor linkages
• Skill mapping
• Poor delivery services
• Lack of awareness on gender and
diversity
• Less awareness on utilization of
government scheme
• Poor literacy rate
• 80% households are resource poor and
BPL
• Poor wage employment opportunity leads
to distress sale
• No holistic plan
Immediate Employment
to vulnerable families
More land under
cultivation with
drought proofing
Address distress
migration
Create common assets
like waterbodies and
enterprises which shall
self generate the options
to absorb these labor
forces in future
Groom community level
institutions (CLIs) as local
social safety net: the first-
aid to fight out the
disasters with their own
capacity
with a
• Process
• Programs-
• principle
• Framework

15. STRATEGIC
APPROACH
•Working together
as network
•Simultaneous
programming with
Value Addition
•Diversification
Convergence
Objective
Restore traditional land
and water management and
improvement.
Provisioning, protecting
and promoting - inputs and
initiatives for Short term
and Long Term Food
Security
Inclusion of Social
Exclusions
A New Approach
Capacity Building
CBOs & NGOs for building some of
these approaches and dissemination
and development of good practices.
Advocacy
Sensitization to larger fora
Institution building and enabling
environment
Formation of local regional and
national networking with similar
groups and organization with an
objective of enabling environment
and wider replication and scaling up
Action & Reflection
Improving the livelihood
condition of
vulnerable sections
through self-help
process.
Develop an assured
development network
by creating
community assets
and
Strengthening natural
resource base to
enhance economic,
social, physical and
human capital

16. Treatment
Maintenance
Utilization
Look to Learn
Learn to Know
Know to Show
Show to Grow

17. Five Questions- practicable

18. Land Base- fruit, root shoot
Water- Kata, Chahala,muda & bandh
Forest-Farm & community forestry

19. Model Building
Contiguous with comprehensive action on
NRM that lead to increased water
availability and holistic development:
Community led, managed, controlled and
integrated with panchayats in terms of
design, implementation and conflict
resolution mechanisms.
Promote sustainable land use integrated
with sustainable livelihood options.
Increase choices for the resource poor who
are typically engaged in seasonal distress
migration.
Farm Based Livelihood Restoration
Non-Farm Based Livelihood
Empowerment
Capacity Building for Social &
Economic Empowerment
Enabling Environment for
Strengthening the Institutions

20. Few Small evidence based Activities
Micro watersheds
Micro projects
MICRO PLANING DANGABANJI
Backward & Forward linkage

21. Village safety nets (grain bank, seed
bank/)
• Micro planning
• Micro projects
• Micro structures
• Micro institutions
• Micro credits/ finance
• Small business
• Micro markets
• Village fund promotion
• Manageable units
• Nutrition at backyard
• Forest in farm
• Small livestock rearing
• Multiple benefits (diversity)
Scaling up
livelihoods &
Community
Empowerment

22. Our Citizen action:-envisage broad based initiatives
with a focus on:
• Enhance empowerment and capability through linking
to the broader view of poverty
• Highlights the crucial role of ‘context’ (especially
vulnerability context)
• how this influences the asset base, selection of
livelihood strategies and the outcomes for
households
• Giving space to advocate local initiatives
• Livelihoods with adequate diversification &
convergence
• Build on what exists - a multi-dimensional,
integrated perspective
• Capacity building of CBOs & NGOs – ‘self sufficiency’
and ‘self employed’
• Simultaneous programming
• Institution building and enabling environment
• Wider replication and scaling up for reducing
vulnerability thru a network approach…
