Caritas India programmes-Beyond boundaries!

Dear all,

Monday beautiful greetings!

Hope you all must be well and fine!  Just 2-3 days back,  came  after 15 days visit to different partners and parts  of Maharashtra ( was there as the  part of MIDAS-2 evaluation). Anyways this mail is not to share what I was doing, but just want to share with you all that how our programmes ( from Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Bundelkhand)  are reached to the different parts of the country. In 15 days during MIDAS-2 evaluation for me was to surprise that at partner level-Directors, team members and even at some places communities talk more about JEEVIKA, HARIT PRAYAS, LIFE and even newly initiated programme ANKUR, infect some of the partners have come out with books on HARIT PRAYAS and in a small or large way in their different programmes they use the process and methodology of the mentioned programmes! For me personally it was happy moment to see that where we are not working, with whom I have never interacted-people know about the programmes of CI in Rajasthan, Bundelkhand and MP and not only know even they share to other about the programmes!

I asked a question how they know about the said programmes-the 1st thing they said was through blog and social media, 2nd was the word of mouth and third by caritas India team visiting to them or interacting with them…at community level people know about the programmes through coordinators of concerned dioceses or sisters of sisters congregations sharing to them about the programmes.

…when we have initiated our programmes and different platform for sharing it…we had never thought that it would be so well accepted by different people from different states, but seeing Mahrashtra example…I am really glad and with proud that people are through with the  Caritas India development brands-JEEVIKA, HARIT PRAYAS, LIFE and ANKUR !

Why people have affection or knowledge learning from JEEVIKA, HARIT PRAYAS, LIFE & ANKUR?
Probably:
·         Innovative models
·         Field based and evidence based results
·         Strong handholding support from CI to the programmes
·         Recruitment process with involvement of CI
·         Programmes based on 100% baseline
·         Programmes based on various feasibility studies
·         Programmes based on formal linkages with KVK, NABAD and all panchyats
·         Almost daily updated  on online platform
·         Programme impact not limited to only few villages, but entire area
·         Programme empowers the dioceses partners to be more professionals
·         Larger visibility
·         Prog results not only linked with specific villages, but analysed at larger state or region level
·         Gender specific programming
·         Hindi/local names with brand logos
·         Regular visitors from different part of country and from different part of world
For you all here I have attached a brief cluster report of JEEVIKA, HARIT PRAYAS, LIFE  results achieved in relation with budget ( till June 2013) to kow why and how the programmes reach to many , beyond the programme boundaries….
One of the sister from Vasia dioceses said that “vinod  when I go to office  in the morning one of the first thing comes in my mind is JEEVIKA prog of Caritas India”
A big thanks to all the people associated with the said programmes-brand marketing.. and a big thanks to dioceses partners for the best possible implementation!
Let’s make change and knowledge reach to more and more!
