#PathwaysToProgress: Partnering to scale up Graduation with Palash (JSLPS)
Trickle Up and Palash (Jharkhand State Livelihood Promotion Society) have been working together since 2015 with the overall goal to strengthen the inclusion and welfare of ultra-poor participants including Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG) communities within the framework of National Rural Livelihood Mission (
#NRLM) through a replicable intervention model for enabling project participants to graduate out of ultra-poverty through the adoption of a variety of strategies adopted jointly by Palash (JSLPS) and Trickle Up.
While previous phases primarily focused on creating livelihood opportunities for ultra-poor households for the purpose of meeting their consumption needs, the most recent phase involved deeper and more qualitative individual input to increase income. This phase has also supported the collective establishment of livelihood activities through coaching and mentoring inputs and required market linkages, thus supporting participantsโ upward trajectory through sustained higher income opportunities.
Participants comprising 300 households - belonging to Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) in Litipara of Pakur district, were organised to form from 15 Micro Enterprise Groups (MEGs), through Trickle Up's direct implementation with support from local partner Pravah.
This direct intervention encompassed a multi-pronged approach and a suite of activities including:
- Vision building, Formation and handholding of PVTG collectives for coming up with group micro enterprises;
- 15 Micro Enterprise Groups were formed engaging 300 PVTG participants in Non-timber Forest Products (
#NTFP), agri-produce, livestock and are operational through vision-building exercise;
- Capacity building of group enterprise members on enterprise development, management, and market linkage;
- Capacity building, coaching and psycho-social mentoring on livelihood diversification, income enhancement, savings and decision-making is ongoing with PVTG women in alignment with the
#JSLPS program;
- Facilitating
#PVTG households for accessing entitlements and social protection programs.
Building on the successes and learnings of Project Goal, Trickle Up is now focused on developing a comprehensive design that further addresses the unique challenges faced by PVTGs and the ultra-poor, with a wider and deeper outreach. This will include various dimensions such as livelihood promotion, skill development, social inclusion, and access to essential services at scale.
