Sandhani: Transformation Amongst Weavers in Kachchh, India and Lessons for Cr...Ashish Kothari
Handloom revival in Kachchh, western India, has enhanced economic livelihoods, and transformation in gender, generational and caste relations, encouraging youth to return to it. But it has also increased internal inequality in the weaver community, and created mixed ecological impacts. Using the Alternatives Transformation Format, these multi-dimensional impacts were studies in 2017-19. A presentation for workshop on Craft Sustainability, by All India Artisans and Craftworkers Welfare Association (AIACA), 18.9.2020.

Recognising local innovation in livestock-keeping – a path to empowering womencopppldsecretariat
Prolinnova is an international network that involves a range of different stakeholders. The network promotes farmer-led approaches to development such as participatory innovation development. Farmers and natural resource users often find novel ways of using natural resources to address challenges and improve their livelihoods. In many rural communities, women do not have the same access as men to resources such as land. They also often have much less decision-making power or capacity. Giving recognition to, and supporting, the innovative capacity of women farmers is seen as an effective mechanism to strengthen their role in rural research and development.

AAS in the
“Southern
Bangladesh
Polder Zone”
2. The AAS Development Challenge
The AAS development challenge is to achieve sustainable
and continual improvements in agricultural productivity,
livelihoods and nutrition of poor communities in the
Southern Bangladesh Polder Zone in the face of increasing
salinity, changing hydrology, climate change and within a
context of complex and dynamic markets and social
change.
3. The AAS development challenge is to achieve sustainable and continual
improvements in agricultural productivity, livelihoods and nutrition of poor
communities in the Southern Bangladesh Polder Zone in the face of
increasing salinity, changing hydrology and climate change. The vision is for
a positive transformational change in the lives and livelihoods of poor AAS-
dependent farmers and their communities, particularly women and
youth. This will be demonstrated by means of communities that lead in the
innovation and adoption of more productive, diversified and resilient
practices and technologies; a farming community with leaders, particularly
women and young leaders, who take a more proactive role in accessing
and generating information that allows for their farming and livelihood
systems to become more innovative, productive, profitable, resilient and
fair; and a private sector, government, and social systems that are more
equitable and responsive to the needs of women and resource-poor
farmers. With this enhanced capacity, more equitable leadership and
responsive systems farming communities will make more effective use of
water, land and biodiversity resources, have better access information and
markets and continually adapt to a dynamic Khulna floodplain system.
4. Our Starting Point
We believe in and seek to harness
an immense and inherent potential
for:
1. People to innovate and adapt
2. Continued and sustainable
improvements in aquatic
agricultural systems in the polder
zone
5. 1. Sustainable Increases in
System Productivity
2. Equitable Access to
Markets
4. Gender Equity
5. Policies and Institutions to

systems are developed with
women and poor as specific
target audiences and their
structures are designed for this
purpose.
Markets are women and poor-
friendly in terms of
participation in buy, selling and
negotiating prices.
Women are involved in and
their opinions equal for water
and other common resource
committees

In 2012 the AAS program of
implementation documentation finalized.
In 2013 a knowledge sharing and learning
(KSL) platform will be established to
support the hub program-of-work.
The CGIAR AAS program is starting in the southern bangladesh polder zone, an area which is defined by agro-ecosystems that defined by the aritificial embankments that surround them. As we all are aware, these were created some 40-50 years ago to protect the farmers and communities in these areas from tidal/storm surges and annual flooding which allows them to have more productive farming systems.

Whereas many see this area of Bangladesh as an area of re-occurring problems, we see it differently. We see it as an area of immense and inherent potential. While undoubtedly this area has its unique set of challenges, it equally has its unique set of advantages that make it one of the most exciting areas in Bangladesh in terms of its potential. That potential is in it’s people and the opportunities brought by both fresh and saline water. Therefore…
Together, both programs of work contribute science outputs that lead the development outcomes.
