Broader frameworkNGOs are important stakeholders –
both in planning, implementation as well as monitoring of the programme
Need investment from the government to facilitate better partnership
Develop good institutional mechanism and right structure to work with NGOs
11
![Page 12: Role of NGOs in NRLM 15 th February 2011 Presented By: Dr. Sudha Kothari and Kalpana Pant](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568148a4550346895db5b858/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Challenges Selection of NGOs – not based on
merit or determined by transparent criteria, often under political pressure
Lack of coordination – resulting in delayed implementation
Passing the buck –shifting responsibility
Flow of funds – Small NGOs may not have the capacity to deal with delay in fund transfer
12
![Page 13: Role of NGOs in NRLM 15 th February 2011 Presented By: Dr. Sudha Kothari and Kalpana Pant](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568148a4550346895db5b858/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Challenges Training has been not necessarily in
response to an assessment of the needMany NGOs have come in just as a
contractorVery few organisations with proven track
recordGood NGOs afraid of working with
government – corruption, delay in flow of funds
Lack of accountability and transparency

Selection of NGOs Under NRLM
![Page 15: Role of NGOs in NRLM 15 th February 2011 Presented By: Dr. Sudha Kothari and Kalpana Pant](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568148a4550346895db5b858/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Possible Options –Centralised Selection
Tejaswini programme - Identified 3 resource organisations for implementation and consultancy across the state.
CAIM – Short-listing of RNGOs and a bid process –district level process recently initiated
Jal Swarajya – State level unit responsible for bidding – mixed results
15
![Page 16: Role of NGOs in NRLM 15 th February 2011 Presented By: Dr. Sudha Kothari and Kalpana Pant](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568148a4550346895db5b858/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Decentralised SGSY – the experience of selection of
NGOs by district offices has not been good
NABARD – Recommendation by regional offices and approval by head office up to a limit (now entirely decentralised)
While centralised process results in delays, decentralised process may results in dilution of quality

The process of selection – Best PracticesA partnership approach rather than
giving out a contractNGO empanelled on some selection
criteriaIt designs the project within the given
frameworkSome initial cost for preparation of
project proposal – helping NGOs contextualise their experience
Flexibility and resources for innovation 17

Role of NGOs at different levels Theme based –Agriculture/ Horticulture ,
financial literacy. State or national level resource agencies could be identified as experts
Activity Based – Training, marketing, women’s empowerment, community mobilisation, micro finance. Organisations with good experience in the region could be identified
Geography Based– some districts/ regions earmarked for NGOs – small organisations at district or block level with good track record can be identified

Role of CBOExisting SHG federations, producer’s
company farmer’ club to have option to be part of the programme.
NGO works with existing federations to take this process further
Could also work with banks and other partners
Could also be invited as resource institutions

Role of NGOs in Accreditation of CRPsDevelop a mechanism to rate the
resource persons Federations do the job of
identifying and placing them In the convention 23rd-24th
February 1000 such resource persons coming together

Most importantly…NRLM builds on the knowledge and
resource base existing in the state.
Various programmes – CAIM, Tejaswini and NABARD’s SHG –Bank linkage programme have experiences that need to be built upon.

Reiterating the need to complement the strengths
Both NGOs and Government need each other
NGOs cannot achieve the scale and impact
that is possible for the government
Government machinery may not always enjoy the sustained, intense resources and the flexibility to use them which is necessary for innovations and experiments
