The full benefits of the state’s outreach programs can only be realised by the poor, especially the Adivasis, when they are organised, are aware of their rights and entitlements, and have requisite capacities to demand, plan and implement livelihood enhancement projects. This is where CBOs come in, i.e., women’s self-help groups, producer groups, village committees, Gram Sabhas, etc.
Adivasi development requirements are best addressed, accessed, and redressed through increased numbers, greater capacities, and involvement. With Civil Society Organisations
- BRLF supports resource gaps of selected CSO partners who have demonstrated promising outcomes in rural livelihoods through their innovations.
- Provide technical support to improve the quality of their work and build their capacities.
- Initiate work on innovative approaches and pilots implemented at the grassroots, so they become the living laboratories of learning for replication and scaling up.
- Maintain a database of promising innovations and their outcomes for adoption into the government’s development programming.
BRLF provides funding support to a variety of projects across the breadth of the country, particularly in 10 states (Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra) that form the Central Indian Tribal Belt. Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) that have a local presence are selected through a multi-layered process adopted by BRLF to ensure that the desired results are produced through right strategies as well as great efforts.
