Andhra Pradesh Participatory Tribal Development Project
The objectives of this project, which was
cofinanced by IFAD and the Government of the Netherlands, were to
improve incomes, food security and living conditions within a traditional
tribal context, to promote women’s self-reliance and to reduce
and reverse environmental degradation. The project introduced several
innovations:
- participatory implementation that involved communities directly in small-scale construction activities
- participation and empowerment through self-help groups and a federation of groups
- introduction of village liaison workers to help people create
savings and credit groups
- a participatory approach to health and education services
- value-added harvesting and marketing approaches to non-timber
forest products
