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!
