Activities within the
grant and expected impact:
During 2004-07, the Trusts supported PRADAN
towards its human resource development programme
through a three-year grant of Rs32.5 million,
resulting in:
|
|
An
increase in its recruitment of apprentices
from over 20 - 22 campuses during March
2003 to 50 - 55 campuses annually |
|
|
Increased
number of professionals joining as executives
(from 72 during March 2003 to 158 at
the end of the project period) |
|
|
Building
capacity of over 60 motivators, and
65 field guides to nurture young professionals |
|
|
Developing
a course for group facilitators, and
training 45 senior professionals |
|
|
Piloting
structured training curriculum on livelihood |
Subsequently, PRADAN was able to build
its core strength of over 260 professionals
working through 26 field teams. These teams
reached out to 112,000 poor families in
over 3,000 villages, spread across 89 community
development blocks of 28 districts across
Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh,
Rajasthan, Orissa and West Bengal.
At that juncture, PRADAN concluded an elaborate
visioning exercise. Based on wide consultations
internally and externally, it was envisaged
that in 2015, PRADAN would be working with
1.5 million poor families covering over
8 million people. With a view towards developing
human resources to enable such a scale up,
PRADAN, through the ongoing phase of support
is:
|
|
Developing
capacities of its ongoing staff through
staff development programmes to build
leadership, perspective on thematic
areas and group processes to undertake
direct and indirect roles |
|
|
Building
capacities, and strengthening processes
to nurture young graduates joining the
development apprentice (DA) programme |
|
|
Building
knowledge on human resource development
in the sector |
This is expected to help PRADAN reach out
to 46 teams, from the current 26, with a
mandate of tripling its outreach from the
current 112,000 to 380,000 families at the
end of three years (by January 2011).
It would also enable:
|
|
Middle and senior
levels to take up leadership roles
|
|
|
Increased
intake of young graduates / professionals
in the programme through new campuses
and universities |
|
|
Increased number of
executives graduating from the DA
programme, apart from increasing lateral
recruitment
|
This is expected to reflect in the overall
impact of PRADAN programmes at the community
level leading to:
|
|
Increased income of
Rs10,000 per annum per family, from
the current base income of Rs15,000
to Rs25,000 per annum
|
|
|
Piloting
and upscaling new and developed livelihood
protocols in other locations |
