PARTICIPATORY PROGRAMME REVIEW
After nine months of AAI and BGVS intervention in the cyclone affected areas of
Jagatsinghpur, there was an urgent need to review the whole project. The main intention
Xvas to rectify the mistakes if any and to provide a new direction to the project. Harsh
Mander, AAI, who suggested that instead of appraising each intervention of .AAI and
BGVS, it would be worthwhile to evaluate the project on the basis of its core principles
and values, gave the lead in this direction. This review process gave insights regarding
the principles and values, which need to be refocussed and reiterated in the future
interventions. This review exercise, which was initially conducted among AAI staff, was
replicated with AAI and BGVS staff (25th July 2000) and primary stakeholders in the
village (14th August 2000).
Programme Review with Primary Stakeholders

Carrying forward the review7 process, an attempt was made in Gadakujanga GP, Erasama
Block on 14th August 2000 to do the same with the active involvement of the primary
stakeholders. The group consisted of members from Super Cyclone Reconstruction
Project, Jagatsinghpur, Sarpanch (PRI Representative), Ward Members, Punar Nirman
Sabhas (Village Reconstruction Committees) members, Community Care Volunteer
(Sneha Abhiyan), Women Empowerment Volunteers (BGVS) and Gram Panchayat
Volunteer (BGVS).
What was novel in this process was that the Sarpanch of the same Gram Panchayat
-Mr. Rajan Behera, (PRI Representative) facilitated the whole review exercise. This

not only lent a stamp of authenticity to the process but also led to a more freer and frank
discussion.
The meeting started with a brief discussion about the intervention of AAI and BGVS for
the last seven months. In this respect a set of principles were discussed basing on which
AAI & BGVS had started its work in the locality. Some of the principles were put in a
simplified manner for the better understanding of people instead putting it in its abstract
form.

The Sarpanch facilitated the matrix developed by the scoring (Refer ANNEX-I for the
details of the scoring.) given by the participants. All the participants agreed that
following principles were given high scores:




Honesty and Transparency
Working together or Participation
Maintaining Quality and Excellence

It was also agreed that the work on the basis of above-mentioned values need to be
sustained and further improvement is required on the apprehensions shared by the
participants.

Jagatsinghpur Update,!—31st August_2000

The values and principles, which were the areas ofconcern, are asfollows:




Caring
Gender Equity
Assertion of Rights

The participants showed their concern to improve the adherence to the above values and
principles and agreed to sit and introspect in this regard.

It is important to note that at least more than hundred women gathered to witness the
process although only eleven were participating in the review. Some of the villagers were
also giving constructive suggestions during the review process.

COMMUNITY MOBILISATION

The major points of discussion in these social audits are as follows:








Corruption issues were reflected in the social audits and people not only raised
their voices against it but also took steps rectify it. Through the social audits, the
AAI / BGVS staffs and other PNS members were able to recover some
persondays and money from the contact person and the PNS members, who
cheated both with the PNS and the villagers.
Instead of rapeseed oil, people suggested to provide mustard oil in FFW
programme.
People analysed and discussed their problems in the social audits. In this month,
people expressed their frustration owing to irregularity of rains and imminent
drought situation.
Some PNS complained against the AAI & BGVS Staffs for the delay of flow of
FFW entitlements and money. Some PNS are yet to get the cheque even after the

Gruha residents.
Major Action points / Suggestions given in the social audits are as follows:









II.

areas.
People suggested for lift irrigation points to be set up to avoid drought. Digging
canals for irrigation was also suggested under FFW.
People favoured the construction of saline embankment through FFW
The PNS members expressed the need for vocational training to women groups
for their economic betterment. People also suggested the revival of cottage
industries.

The women empowerment members (BGVS) raised certain issues in the creation of
SHGs. Those were as follows:







There is an urgent need for training in the creation of SHGs and it’s strengthening.
Certain banks are not cooperating to open the accounts of SHGs. It was agreed to
take up this issues with the govt, agencies to smoothen the process of opening
Bank Accounts of SHGs.
They are facing serious problems regarding their own transportation to the
villages in which they have to form SHGs.
There is a need for clarification regarding the inclusion of villagers in the SHGs
(Widows and destitute) who have received huge amount of money in
compensation (Death, house damage or compensation in lieu of agricultural lands
taken away by oil refinery).

Women leadership programme:

From 16th to 18th August, a three days Women leadership programme was conducted in
Borikina node. About 40 local women volunteers participated in this programme. This
programme was conducted to spread awareness regarding SHGs and advocating income
generation activities in women societies.

LIVELIHOOD
I.

Food for Work

Serious concents were raised regarding the escalation ofFFW beneficiaries -more than
what was initially planned (The graphs and figures are given below). Following reasons
were given for it:









More beneficiaries were allowed in case ofjoint families.
Need was there even in the non-target group sections.
Monitoring was not adequate.
There is a need to check final figure ofFFW beneficiaries, which fluctuate each
month.
In attempt to ease the social conflict, the numbers of beneficiaries were
increased.
The initial assumption of 10 thousand FFW beneficiaries was wrong.

Since there is only limited number of persondays left for FFW, it was decided that in the
month of September there would be no FFW. This whole month will be devoted to re
structuring and re organizing the FFW programme and to find out the real reasons behind
the escalation ofFFW beneficiaries. After the appraisal of the field situation by a team of
cluster coordinators, associate coordinators and programme officers who interacted with
PNS members, it was decided to continue FFW in some areas i.e., Bhitaraandhari and
Jankadeipur node, where there will be FFW for 6 and 3 committees respectively.
The reduction of FFW beneficiaries will be on the basis offollowing parameters:







Persons having occupations (above the monthly income of Rs2500/-)
Persons having operating prawn aquaculture units.
Persons having total monthly income of Rs2500/-.
Persons having tractor and power tiller.
Persons belonging to the vulnerable sections of the village.

Gender Wise Agricultural Support

Caste Wise Agricultural Support

Agricultural Issues:

The Kharif paddy crop is in a precarious condition due to salinity and
erratic rains.
Percentage of germination of paddy seeds was only 40-45%.
Dying of seedlings in the month of July was very high due to insufficient
rain and seedling blight diseases.
In Erasama block, the salinity level is very high because of incursion of
tidewater during cyclone.
In Gadakujanga and Dhinkia GP the acid level in the soil is high due to the
incursion of acid water from the industries in Paradeep during cyclone.
Reddish yellow strain is marked in the skins of cultivators and bullock
working in the field at Gadakujanga. It is a clear indication of ferrous
chloride content in the water. The expected yield for this Kharif season
will of about only 1 to 2 quintals per acre, which will not give food
security for a long period.

A need was felt for a GP wise interaction programme with the cultivators not only to
educate them regarding the need for soil testing and to adopt different cropping patterns
but also to assess their needs and suggestions for future AAI & BGVS support.

Purchase of FFW entitlement (Rice)

Since a short fall was expected in FFW rice component given by WFP, it was decided to
purchase rice from open market under DFID support. This is based on the assumption
that DFID supplies 0.5kg rice on each 2kg rice supplied by the WFP.
The detailed calculation is given below:

Total Rice requirement @ 2.5 kg. X 12,00,000 persondays is 3000 Mt
"WFP Rice available 1450 Mt. (Break-up given below)
April/May 2000
500.00 Mts.

July/August 2000
450.00 Mts.

June/July 2000
500.00 Mts.

Total 2000
1450.00 Mts.

Requirement (3000-1450) = 1550 Mt (To be provided under DFID support)

A committee comprising of 6 (Six) members (including two BGVS staffs) formed to
purchase 400 Mts. of Rice. It was finally decided to collect sealed quotations from
Sambalpur, Bargarh, Balangir, Balasore, and Cuttack parties. It was ensured that
whichever quotation is finally accepted, the concerned parties have to adhere to the
Quality Norms prescribed in the quotation format (The format for inviting sealed
quotation is given in the Annexure - III).

HABITAT AND INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT
Status on Housing for Mamata Gruha residents with support
from CARE-Today and Spain Housing as of 31st Aug 2000

72 no. of houses have been completed fully, (with fitting of door and windows)
18 no. of Houses have been completed up to the roof level (i.e. roof casting is over)
10 no. of houses have been constructed up to lintel level
Owing to bad connectivity, it was difficult to complete the required number of
houses in time.

For the construction of these above houses, required amount of money is being spent for
the purchase of construction materials like sand, cement, stone chips etc. To ensure
transparency in the procurement of these materials, it was felt that a series of Social Audit
should be conducted in the villages.
This series of social audits is planned for 17 Mamata Gruhas in six points between 7 to
16th of Sept’2000 to assess, share, and examine the expenses incurred for the construction
of houses for the residents of Mamata Gruha. It is an attempt to take proactive role to
share the information with all the stakeholders.

Jagatsinghpur Update, 1—31st August__2000

The objective is to conduct such meetings to disseminate information (including
technical/non technical) regarding the individual house construction of the Mamata
Gruha residents where, we can clarify most of the complaints, confusions and doubts
(including corruption charges raised by various persons) of the community. This will also
give us a chance to appraise our own work.
Persons expected to be present in the social audits:

















Beneficiaries of the housing
PNS committee members
Sneha Committee member
Sneha Abhiyan GPC or above, and CCV.
Sarapanch of the Panchayat, local ward members
Suppliers of the concerned area.
Labour contractor of the respective area
Supervisor / site engineer
Associate coordinator/Node in-charge ofBGVS of concerned area
POs from AAI, Jagatsinghpur
Any local Govt, officer
Any other person who are interested to attend Social Audit
Govt., engineer / Junior Engineers if possible
School teachers / senior elders.
UN house representative

EVENTS
Independence Day celebrations

AAI & BGVS staffs opined that we should celebrate the Independence Day which would
be taken as opportunity to address the principles like caring, rights, preparedness, which
secured the lowest scores in the programme review.
Borikina Node:

Borikina node celebrated the Independence Day in every PNS of their node. They
organised “JANASAMPARK SIBIR” at Begunia, Plantation programme at Amrutomano
and “Mahila Sabha” at Basanta. Above 500 women and men were participated along
with the members ofBGVS.

VISITORS
Ros David, AA UK and Amar Jyoti Nayak AAI, Delhi visited the Social

Reconstruction Project of Jagatsinghpur and Sneha Abhiyan Project of Erasama. It is
important to share their feedback especially that of Ros David on the projects to amend
the mistakes and refocus on our principles and values. Some important observations of
Ros David, AA UK is as follows:

Jagalsinghpur Update,!—31st Aiigust_2000

10

1. Gender needs attention: The position of women in the cyclone-affected areas is
particularly striking - and depressing. The 'Super Cyclone Reconstruction Project’
could at this stage be addressing the issue of gender. After all this is a priority within
Action Aid’s global strategy and also in the India country programme’s strategy.
Addressing gender means more than targeting women in food for work programmes,
but spending time and effort understanding the gender relations within the community
and working to support women to address their position. Micro level planning
meetings brought up issues of sexual harassment by men of 'upper castes’. These
issues need to be thought about carefully. So too does the composition of teams (both
ActionAid and partners). The way the team functions (in terms of excessively long
working hours) and the high elements of competition also need to be thought about
carefully if the Orissa cyclone programme is to encourage strongly empowered
women staff
2. Long-term solutions? Action Aid’s work in the cyclone-affected area is about to

expand rapidly with DFID funding. This work will concentrate on supporting the
development (or rather reconstruction) of livelihoods. However, there is also work
that needs to be done on addressing some longer-term solutions to the vulnerability of
the coastal people. As yet, it is unclear how ActionAid is engaging with people 'right
to long term security’. The destruction of mangrove swamps (apparently by prawn
farmers with 'high political connections’) and the lack of tenure rights of the poorer
farmers in the area make the issue highly contentious. The World Bank is purported
to be developing plans to build a sea wall. The link between local level plans and
long-term security could be made more explicit. It is unclear whether Action Aid’s
work in Orissa will be extended to supporting local people to fight for their rights to
long-term security.
3. Influencing others? One final thought - I do hope the excellent work that the team
are pioneering around transparency and social audit is being used to influence other
INGOs andNGOs working in the area

CAPACITY BUILDING


There was an exposure visit to Bangladesh to build the capacity of AAI / BGVS
team in Jagatsinghpur. Basanta Kar AAI, Rabindra Gouda AAI, Natabara Rout
BGVS, Biren Nayak AAI visited the disaster projects in Bangladesh to explore
the possibility of replicating their learning here in Jagatsinghpur. There was a
meaningful interaction with the AAI Bangladesh team. Based on their experiences
in Bangladesh, the team will prepare a comprehensive training model on disaster
management.



Ambika Prasad AAI, attended a training programme organized by NCAS
(National Centre for Advocacy Study) Pune, as a follow up to this training, he
will be conducting similar training for the programme staffs of AAI and BGVS,
PNS members, PRI members to take up advocacy issues.
