TRDP’s Approach:
TRDP employs three-tiered social mobilization approach. The community organizations based at household level elect village organizations (VOs) which further federate in to the representative bodies namely local support organizations (LSOs). These VOs and LSOs add value of social mobilization to health, education, disaster risk management, income generation and climate change including natural resource management, water and sanitation.
For the purpose a strong integrated approach is being employed, facilitating growth of “responsible community organizations”. The responsible community organizations mean organizations with substantial household representation, women participation and having required legitimacy. such as registration under relevant act. Such community institutions/organizations build a service delivery mechanism at the grassroots level, and provide platform for an effective interface with government bodies, other development programmes and market.
TRDP continuous to develop a critical mass of diversified human and physical resources along with in-depth coverage and scaling-up of programme.
TRDP believes that the poor communities are in the process of transformation This transformation is from an agro-pastoral way of living towards semi-industrialized society. TRDP facilitates them to get adjust with new change in a way that it can make the poor communities prosperous.
