A.     Community Institutions

Building capacity for collective action is crucial for the successful management of Common Property Resources (CPR) and to provide suitable mechanisms for continuing a sustained development process after the withdrawal of project-based interventions. IFFDC has consciously adopted the policy of promoting Community Institutions for institutionalising its development interventions. The promoted groups are so designed and work mainly based on cooperative principles but are named differently under its different projects, appropriate to the purpose for which formed, viz: Primary Farm Forestry Cooperatives Societies (PFFCS), Primary Livelihood Development Cooperative Societies (PLDCS), Farmer Producers Organisations (FPO), Livelihood Collectives (LC), Farmer Clubs, Wadi Groups, Self Help Groups (SHG), Village Watershed Development Committees (VWDC) and so on.

PROGRESS

Being a Cooperative itself, IFFDC believes strongly in the strength of 'cooperative action' to uphold institutions at the local level and to provide support to the development process, helping them sustain after withdrawal of the project. Community Institutions provide institutional mechanisms and opportunities for collective management of resources.
