What is the role/function of the VO and LSO? What is the role/function of the CO? What takes place in each organization? Type of issues discussed? How does training take What type of decisions are made? (loan oriented; youth activities etc.) Which initiatives are undertaken in your area? (VOs formed; COs formed, capacity building of CO and youth; Agriculture Extension Worker, Livelihood Extension Worker, loan and credit, infrastructure development/linkage development)? Were these initiatives according to the needs of the area? How effective were they in improving livelihoods? What was the most effective initiative? What can further be strengthened to help improve livelihoods? Based on initiatives above, discuss the following: Capacity building of CO (topics, relevance and effectiveness) Technical Vocational and Employable Skills Training (selection criteria of trainees, effectiveness etc.) NRM-HRD and Training (selection criteria of LEWs and AEWs, effectiveness, did they train other villagers) Infrastructure initiatives (How were planned and selected, who was involved, who were benefited) Loan and credit (selection criteria, effective strategy of disbursement, impact on livelihood) Linkage development (have you ever met with your district officials along with SRSP team? On the completion of livelihood trainings did SRSP developed any linkage between CO and market? How LSP approached How beneficial were the initiatives for women? Did this help empower women? If yes, how? Was there any restriction from male community/household members? For which specific activities were women targeted? How did the LSP initiative involve the poorest of the poor in your area? (marginalized groups) How does it identify the poorest; is there any volunteering or nomination that takes place by the community members? What about other marginalized communities (based on ethnicity, caste, religion, etc.) How have the LSP initiatives impacted livelihood (income/wellbeing) of the area? How are you able to determine this (participatory monitoring)? (based on asset ownership; incomes; food security?) How do you expect this to change in the future? (Do you expect it improve or worsen livelihood status?) Will the CO/VO sustain in future beyond SRSP project life?
