The document summarizes a proposed project using the Village Earth Model of sustainable development to empower 100,000 tribal people across 100 villages in India. The project will establish a Resource Access Unit to link villages to resources and facilitate participatory planning. It will build local skills, share appropriate technologies, and create self-reliant communities and microenterprises. After three years of external funding, the project aims to be economically self-sustaining by generating income through activities like training, agriculture, and microenterprises. The goal is to mobilize local resources and establish organizational structures to improve livelihoods through community-driven development.
This document discusses various sustainable development projects undertaken by TERI (The Energy and Resources Institute). It provides details of TERI's Eco-City project in Navi Mumbai which aims to reduce the city's carbon emissions. It also describes programs providing electricity access in rural areas through biomass gasification and solar micro-grids. Another initiative discussed is a nutri-garden pilot project in Maharashtra to address malnutrition. The document summarizes TERI's work on sustainable development affecting communities through principles like ESG, and highlights some of its key people like RK Pachauri.
The project aims to improve food security, income, and natural resource management for local communities through participatory development approaches. It targets 320,000 households in rural areas of Karak and Tafila governorates. Community participation is a core principle, with local committees involved in planning, implementing, and monitoring community action plans and annual work plans over three-year cycles.

To manage the program, District Rural Development Agencies (DRDAs) were established at the district level, governed by a council headed by the DRDA Project Officer. The program was jointly funded by central and state governments and implemented through strengthened development blocks, but suffered issues like inadequate resources, poor asset quality, and delays.
Strategic Community Development: Executive Education customised for Helenvale...Anthony Rippon
This document discusses a customized executive education program developed for community leaders in Helenvale, South Africa. The program aimed to teach community leaders strategic approaches to managing resources and achieving sustainable community development. It notes that many South African communities do not efficiently manage available resources, hindering development goals. The customized training program for the Mandela Bay Development Agency covered topics like project management, leadership, and stakeholder engagement to help community leaders address challenges and further develop their community in a strategic manner. It aimed to provide community leaders with tools to facilitate community development and form public-private partnerships.
The document discusses trends in participatory development and governance. It notes that globally, there has been a trend toward greater political democratization, economic liberalization, and market-oriented economies since the 1980s. Participatory development is important as it stimulates people's productive energies, encourages broader participation, and leads to more equitable benefits. Effective participatory development relies on investment in human resources, strengthening political and legal systems, use of local organizations and private sector, and open market structures. Key is enhancing people's capability to participate in society and ensuring local communities benefit from development.
The document discusses ICARDA's experience with participatory community development planning approaches. It outlines the steps taken which include: 1) characterizing the community through mapping and surveys, 2) participatory diagnosis of problems and identification of solutions, and 3) development of community-based organizations and multi-year development plans. The approach aims to empower communities and foster collective action through consensus-building. Key benefits identified are improved targeting of resources and ease of project implementation when communities approve annual and long-term development plans.

Así como en el interior de nuestro planeta, en su parte oculta, se encuentra el oro de mayor pureza y perfección; así en nuestro interior yace también oculto a nuestra capacidad perceptiva, el Ser original; quien desde la antigüedad fue representado —de manera muy acertada— por bellas imágenes como un loto, un lirio, una rosa o una esmeralda, entre muchas más. El tercer ojo constituye otro símbolo que, abierto y transparente, denota la profundidad del Ser y su calidad de testigo permanente.
Una chispa emanada del Espíritu Eterno es un alma que en este mundo nace a la vida, generando alrededor de su centro los cinco sentidos y la mente, teniendo como soporte esta naturaleza material.

This document discusses a PhD concept for designing accessible sanitation facilities for senior citizens in rural Kenya. It begins with introducing key terms like "accessible" and "sanitation". It then provides background on the increasing population of senior citizens globally and in Kenya. The concept aims to study challenges rural elderly face in accessing sanitation and propose affordable solutions. It identifies problems like physical disabilities, lack of caregivers, and cultural barriers. The objectives are to investigate current facilities, cultural practices, challenges faced, and global trends to develop an improved design. The significance is that it will set a framework for accessible rural sanitation in Kenya applicable elsewhere, add to academic knowledge, and result in a prototype design. Preliminary findings provide context on Kis

The document outlines the vision and work of the oneVillage Foundation (OVF), which aims to empower communities through storytelling, education, and technology. It describes several of OVF's initiatives, including establishing rural farmers cooperatives in Ghana, an IT training program for youth in Ghana called "CatchITYoung", and the creation of "Unity Centers" in Kenya and Nigeria to demonstrate sustainable development solutions. The document emphasizes using a holistic, people-centered approach and integrating local development projects with information and communication technologies.
This presentation was presented by Lanying Zhang of Source for Action in China (SFA) during the RRYSE Launch entitled, “Reimagining Rural Development in the 21st Century: Perspectives on Rural Revitalization, Social Entrepreneurship (SE) and Youth” dated July 19, 2022.
Community development principles then and nowMerlyn Denesia
Community development principles have evolved over time. Originally in the 1940s-1980s, community development focused on holistically understanding community needs, culture, and felt needs. It emphasized self-help, cooperation, leadership, and participation. Now, principles stress responding to expressed community needs, concerted action through multi-purpose programs, changing attitudes, participation in governance, training local leaders, involving women and youth, mobilizing community resources, and national support for local development. Definitions of community development emphasize assisting community growth and betterment through organizing local resources, improving living conditions through collaborative people-centered efforts, and enabling democratic participation in priority problem-solving.
This policy brief proposes a program to engage rural youth and promote rural development. It would employ youth in select communities to identify local priorities, resources, challenges, and potential assistance programs. Youth would receive training and conduct interviews to research these issues and report their findings. The goals are to empower youth, strengthen communities, and help them access support programs more effectively. If successful, the program could be expanded to benefit more rural regions and youth.
Community development aims to improve people's lives by involving all affected communities and respecting local knowledge. It focuses on building long-term sustainability through developing human and social skills within the community. The core foundations of community development education are community participation, ownership, empowerment, lifelong learning, inclusion, access and equity, social action, advocacy, networking, and self-help. Community development provides a conceptual framework but not detailed prescriptions, as the needs and approaches will vary between different community systems.

The document discusses several agricultural development projects and programs in India after independence:
1. The Firka Development Project (1946) aimed to develop rural areas through improvements to villages like education, economy, sanitation, and making people self-reliant. It was later expanded to more villages.
2. The Etawah Pilot Project (1947) introduced rural reconstruction work and improved agricultural technologies. It proved villagers were capable of improvement.
3. The Nelokheri Experiment (1948) rehabilitated displaced people and integrated surrounding villages, providing services like schools, farms, and industries.
4. The Community Development Programme (1952) aimed for overall rural development through projects in agriculture,
1. The document discusses participatory development, which seeks to engage local populations in development projects by influencing and sharing control over initiatives and resources.
2. It provides examples of participatory projects in the Philippines that build social capital and empower communities. One project strengthened community organizations to advocate for urban poor communities' needs to local governments.
3. A second project used multilevel participatory planning with villages, municipalities, and provinces to identify and prioritize projects. Communities analyzed issues through workshops and prioritized actions in natural resource management plans.

Project Name: People's Plan for Sustainable Village Development
(PPSVD): The Village Earth Purulia Project.
Project Goals and Objectives:
The goal of the proposed project is to empower people ( tribal)- who are really left
behind, for a sustainable livelihood by developing a social process in the community.
To accomplish that, the proposed project adopts the following specific objectives:
1. Institutionalized a social process, called People's Participatory Planning (PPP)
process by stimulating participation at all level in community as well as
Organisational level, creating grassroots ownership of each project.
2. To make resource accessible by creating structural linkages to resources in order
to support the Resource Access Unit (RAU) and to empower non-
governmental organisations (NGOs) leadership with access to the resources
available in the broader NGO community, university and private sectors.
3. To build a bank of scientific knowledge through an intensive program of
monitoring and evaluation, data are collected and processed and made available.
4. To establish global communication networks.
5. To emphasize in-depth development of each village and rapid, systematic
expansion to other villages.
6. To facilitate technology generation.
7. To attract and generate and refine indigenous knowledges.
8. To build a collaborative NGO network.
9. To create a collaborative global village network.
Length of the Project: Six Years.
Project Location:
The proposed project is located in Purulia & Bankura District in West Bengal, India. We
proposed in tribal population. The proposed project will cover 100 villages with 100,000
populations. For the proposed Resource Access Unit we have 20 acres of land with some
basic structures as donation. We have identified Purulia and Bankura for our model
projects of the Village Earth.

3. I. Project Background
The Village Earth model for sustainable community-based development was created as a
result of 40 years of intensive field research and developmental theory. Using the model,
marginalized communities in Nigeria, Nepal, and Indonesia have overcome economic,
political, environmental and social developmental constraints by working closely with the
private sector, public universities, governmental agencies, and non-profit or non-
governmental organisations. This collaborative, innovative, and multifaceted approach will
help to re-build 100 villages in Purulia & Bankura District of West Bengal, India.
Lack of empowerment is a crushing weight for most of the rural poor as they search in
vain for opportunities that continually elude their grasp. Villagers live out of their lives
isolated from resources which the rest of the society enjoys. The Village Earth Model is
designed to address Global poverty. It is a fresh approach to stimulate and sustain village
development - a road map to a brighter, more equitable future for the rural poor in our
society. The proposed model is a comprehensive in nature, fully participatory and
sustainable. Using the model it is possible to achieve an effective and vigorous
empowerment of poverty stricken tribal communities in Purulia & Bankura, West Bengal,
India. To facilitate access to resources, including financial, social, energy, information,
hard and soft appropriate technologies, there will be a model calls ,"Resource Access
Unit" in the community. The model is very much appropriate and just for the agrarian
society with potential resources.
II. The Conceptual clarity of the model
The model is founded on the premise that lack of access to resources is the primary
obstacle to building a better life, and that poverty is the symptom rather than cause of the
problem. To facilitate access to resources, including financial, social, energy, information,
and hard and soft appropriate technologies, the model calls for the organization of villages
into clusters, or Resource Access Units (RAU).
In the mold of Indian Development Block, for instance, the Resource Access Units
(RAUs) would assure a critical mass of population, 25-50 villages with a total population
of 35,000-50,000, required to mobilize and tap the resources necessary to sustain
development. The RAUs follow a five- phase, five to ten years path to self reliance. That
achieved ,they are capable of replicating their success, of spawning new RAUs. The
Village Earth Model holds that villagers already possess the seeds of their own
development. Unlike traditional methods, it employs a bottom-up approach to
development. It listens rather than dictates. It provides access to resources rather
than aid.
Unless a mechanism is created to empower the residents of rural areas to participate fully
in the extensive resources available, the vast human potential of the rural population will
be wasted, and the future of the planet Earth will see most of its citizens living in poverty
as a permanent underclass. This program can radically and rapidly put in place, in rural
communities strategically located around the world, resource access mechanisms that
release and empowerment millions of people in rural villages to participate vigorously in
the 21st century.
3
4. Purpose of the model: To address global poverty by bridging the gulf between the two-
third of the world's population that live in rural areas and the technical, financial, social
and informational resources enjoyed by the remaining third. To accomplish that, the
Village Earth model adopts the following specific objectives:
a) Institutionalized a Participatory Orientation- Stimulate participation at all
organizational levels, creating grass-roots ownership of each project. Regular
planning meetings and discussions of "lessons learned" at all program levels will
create a dynamic and flexible environment for responsive social change.
b) Make Resources Accessible-Create structural linkages to resources in order
to support the RAU villages and to empower non-governmental organization
(NGO) leadership with access to the resources available in the broader NGO
community and the public, university and private sectors. This is done through
an RAU Service Center with competent staff trained to address priorities identi
-fied by the villagers.
c) Build a Bank of Scientific Knowledge-Through an intensive program of
monitoring and evaluation, data are collected and processed and made available
to all RAUs through regional and International Service Center management
d) Establish Global Communication Networks-Build and create resource access
networks that make soft and hard technologies available to an increasing number
of villages and family units in each RAU.
e) Emphasize in-depth development of each village and rapid, systematic
expansion to other villages.
f) Facilitate Technology Generation- Share appropriate soft and hard technologies
in response to locally defined needs. Local knowledge systems must be honoured
and incorporated in all technology generation packages.
g) Attract and generate indigenous technical ability to rural areas-This joint
effort employs technical leadership from the RAU Service Center Staff,which has
skills in both soft and hard technologies,to build technology generation packages.
h) Build a collaborative NGO network-we have created a federation of 70
grassroot level NGOs in Eastern India.
i) Create a collaborative Global Village Network-In the first phase of the program
a local network of villages in an RAU are interconnected as their autonomy and
economies develop. They will be responsible, along with service center staff,for
initiating new RAUs and sharing their development insights. Finally,they are
interconnected with other RAU villages beyond their own area, contributing their
successes and sharing them in building an international resource centres.
III. Fundamental Principles
A set of basic principles guides the design of a serious effort at sustainable village based
development. They are:
i) Participatory, village -based development:- The village is the basic unit of planning and
action.Village priorities must be decided by the villagers and not by an outside authority.
Only when village residents direct their future, they will win it and they will able to
4
5. manage the development process that will bring them out of poverty. This is accomplished
by providing leadership so that the villagers:
a.Express their hopes and aspirations for the future.
b.Identify and analyse the problems which stand in the way of achieving these hopes and
aspirations.
c.Find solutions to the problems with the help of the service center staff.
d.Carry out the solutions and then operate and maintain the mechanisms to achieve them.
ii)A "Critical Mass" for Sustainable Development:- Although the village is the basic unit of
planning and action, a single village is not large enough to access essential resources. A
single viable development unit for supporting the village is to access resources is between
35,000 to 50,000 people-large enough to have an effective voice in making village needs
known to resources institutions, and at the same time small enough to maintain local
autonomy. The Resource Access Unit will be able to effectively access the necessary
external resources through mobilizing local resources and supporting,in part, a
professional staff component in the needed expertise.
iii)The importance of resources:- Resources-human,information,physical,technical,energy
and financial- are essential for and sustainable developmental effort.
iv)A trained external catalytic force:- An external force is nearly always needed to assist in
catalyzing development. However, it should encourage local initiative and motivation by
asking questions rather than proposing solutions at the outset. Team members must be
trained in participatory planning and implementation skills. Technical expertise is required
to identify realistic options to be explored by the villagers in priority areas which they have
identified.
v)A new approach to stimulating village development:- The Village Earth model employs
a new approach to development. It is a bottom-up approach in contact to the traditional
hierarchical, top-down approach. It is characterized by :
-Listening and asking questions, not giving answers.
-Interaction,discussion and consensus building,not authoritative imposition of top down
"solutions"
-Partnership problem solving,not experts imposing "technically correct" fixes.
-Active participation in decision making,not passive compliance to external suggestions.
-Sharing appropriate technologies, not technology "transfer".
-Tandem use of local and scientific knowledge, not exclusive use of either.
-Mutual learning, not, " We know what is best."
-Village control of development,not external control.
-Team building, not control by elites.
vi)Local values must be identified and employed as a motivating force to support the
achievement of locally determined priorities.
vii)Inclusiveness.
viii)Self-reliance and an entrepreneurial spirit.
5
6. ix)Basic mutual agreements.
x)A systems approach.
xi)A holistic ( multi sector) approach.
xii)Sustainability: - There are four dimensions of sustainability that must be integrated into
all aspects of sustainable village based development planning and action: environment,
economy,socio-cultural features and political sustainability.
xiii)Appropriate technology.
xiv)Networking.
xv)Monitoring and Evaluation.
IV. Proposal Summary
The Federation of grassroot level NGOs (we are now 9 registered bodies all together) in
Eastern India under the implementing body, Sarada Group of Development
Initiatives(SDGI) accepted People's Participatory Planning (PPP) process as an alternative
approach to move with the people towards sustainable village based development. The
SDGI together with NGOs and people developed a consensus to accept 'participation' as a
value and process of development. This was a struggle particularly in the context of
existing reality where both people and organisations were conditioned by the dominant
pattern of development, and dolling out strategy. Tremendous courage and conviction
were needed to face the challenges emerging from the action and reflection of the PPP
process. Ultimately, SDGI found an alternative development perspective aspires for a just,
participatory and sustainable society where life of people and their dignity are restored.
Sustainable village based development is seen as a process of holistic transformation of the
rural society for self-reliance and well being of all. The process covers all aspects of
human existence to ensure social, cultural, economic, political, ecological and
environmental sustainability. The proposed project will be a sustainable and replicable one
because it encourages community participation and ownership. People oriented
development to us means that not only questions, but the answers from the people. These
answers based on their cultural, social, economic, and political reality meaning there is no
single path to progress. To make them sustainable, capable, empowered, he proposed
project recreate the systems of life and existence of the oppressed and marginalized
people, particularly of the landless, tribals and women. This is a constant search of our
organization to identify an appropriate strategy to enable people to be the main actors in
development. Our organization envisages that people is the primary subject and actor. Our
role is to facilitate, strengthen, and enhance the process. Based on this outlook and
understanding we have undertaken, 'People's Participatory Planning Process' with the
thematic design of recollecting the past focusing on the present, and visualizing the future
for sustainable development. The proposed project will follow an effective monitoring and
evaluation program, preferably experienced by the donor themselves. In this way we do
encourage employees of different agencies to join in this process of social power- a true
venture of the sustainable village based development. After three years of external funding
6
7. and support, the proposed project will be economically sustainable through income
generating activities, agricultural activities, micro-enterprise development, consultancy,
training and available data bank for universities, governmental agencies and others.
The ultimate goal of the proposed project is to mobilise local human resources,
refinement of indigenous knowledge, develop appropriate technologies pattern of
sustainable agriculture , establish a village organisational structure, and
networking.
The required cost of the proposed project is Rs. 56,46,000 (US$1,22,739 approx. for
three years).For the first year Rs.33,39,000, Second year Rs.12,68,000 and in the third
year Rs.10,39,000.
V. Beneficiaries and other stakeholders
We have identified 100 villages in Purulia and Bankura District in West Bengal, India.
Total population is 100,000, live in the remotest part in India and most of them rely on
marginal agro-based forms of income, land less. They are really left behind and tribal with
lot of indigenous knowledges. The PPSVD program is designed to empower these
communities by enabling individuals and groups to participate in wider economic
opportunities. In addition the proposed model plans to corroborate with couple of
universities to enhance their curriculum by including opportunities for post graduate study
and research (We have initiated dialogues with the BCKV trained agricultural
graduates). We also hope to incorporate local governments, other developmental
agencies both government and non-government.
VI. Problem Statement
Hard core poverty is a crushing weight for the tribals as well as people who are really left
behind in the proposed project villages in Bankura & Purulia, West Bengal, India, as they
search in vain for opportunities that continually elude their grasp. They live out their lives
isolated from the resources. The proposed project is designed to address hard core
poverty in tribal dominated area by establishing a social process. The Village Earth Model
is a fresh approach to stimulating and sustaining village development- a road map to a
brighter, more equitable future for all poor in the area. More than 60% of the total
population in both the areas used to migrate seasonally to near by districts for
opportunities. They used to exploit by landlords. The proposed project will develop a
mechanism to empower the community to participate fully in the extensive resources
available. The vast human potential will be utilized; resource access mechanisms to
empower targeted population of 100,000 within project period.
VII. Outputs and Activities
A set of basic principles (mentioned earlier) guides the design of a serious effort at
sustainable village-based development. The sustainability of this project is inherently
designed into the Village Earth Model. After three years of external funding and support,
the project will be economically sustainable through income generated by training
7
8. enrollment fees, micro-enterprise developments. The ultimate goal is to mobilize local
human resources, develop appropriate technologies, establish village organisational
structure, and extend network linkages. The model has experienced much success because
it encourages community participation and ownership. The local people, usually women,
initiate their own savings groups and micro lending programs with guidance and training
from village earth staff. Communities also often demand literacy and comprehension
classes, computer and internet classes, AT demonstrations, and entrepreneurial
development training because they feel empowered by these new and exciting
opportunities. Village Earth follows through with an effective monitoring and evaluation
program, preferably experienced by the donors themselves. In this way, Village Earth
encourages employees of operating with possible donors to join in this process- a true
celebration of the sustainability of development.
Activities:
• Mobilization of the community interests on sustainable village based development.
• Initiation of micro-credit and savings program.
• Entrepreneurship development program.
• Development of entrepreneurial support system
• Watershed development program
• Demonstration firm cum production units
• Appropriate Technology (AT) development in a culturally specific way.
• Networking
VIII. Monitoring and Evaluation
Monitoring and evaluation is a continuous action-reflection-action process and should be a
participatory in nature. Activity component should be completed in a planned manner
within the stipulated time. To ensure proper utilization of resources and time feedback
from the field is the essential tool for examining the exact nature of the performance and
through this participatory action research, the corrective step is taken for an alternative
sustainable strategy for the implementation. MERTU- Monitoring, Evaluation, Research
and Training unit in the Resource Access Unit (RAU) of the proposed project will
responsible for the monitoring and evaluation plan, process of collecting and analyzing
information about the impact and effectiveness of the project.
IX. Sustainability
There are four dimensions of sustainability that must be integrated into all aspects of the
proposed project of sustainable village based development planning and action:
environment, economy, socio-cultural features and political sustainability. Sound scientific
procedures must be followed in measuring variables relevant to adequately protecting the
environment for future generations. It is imperative that the proposed project will be
viable economically-including entrepreneurial business activities. Any technical innovation
must offer a relatively good fit between local socio-cultural knowledge and practices and
scientific knowledge and appropriate technologies. Links with the local bureaucratic
structures are especially important, as many of these structures have very well- developed
8
9. technologies that can be integrated into an RAU program of action.
