Part 7: Project Sustainability for “Community-managed Sustainable Livelihoods in River Basin” Project (Sample Proposal)
“The project emphasizes on the creation and strengthening of community based organizations, which are crucial to build confidence within the community. The project will begin with a withdrawal strategy from day one onwards to practically facilitate the community to own resources and act accordingly. Cooperatives, as well managed institutions, will have high technical capability by the end of the project to undertake planning, pool resources, develop produces, access markets and share profits. The project believes in strengthening the skills of the community in managing resources in a sustainable manner and this will be achieved by intensive capacity-building programs organized during the term of the project.”
