Recovery & Re-disbursement through community Institutions: (involvement of rural women)
After execution of maintenance phase of UCBPRP, the social mobilization teams of all three districts have been proactively engaged and spared much time on the mobilization of masses that the village organizations must have to ensure the 100% recovery of already disbursed CIF under the umbrella of local support organizations in their respective districts. During the regular visits, the teams were significantly facilitated by the senior professionals from the head office as well as district offices on various aspects which has been remained the core concern of rural communities and the priorities of field teams in the recent context of proper recoveries and revolving of CIF amounts.
Now after such sort of facilitation, the outreach and confidence of teams have been enhanced and their interaction with rural communities has also been improved, which resulted in the vital progress of community institutions for recoveries and revolving of CIF. Through these efforts and steps, the sustainability of CIF intervention made in UCBPRP, becoming more assured in rural areas.
Social mobilization teams (SMTs) doing good work, that making possible for the respective LSOs to access each and every VO in their union council and having concrete dialogues with their community institutions and their office bearers for the apparent purpose of CIF recoveries and its effective utilizations, as well as disbursement of same amount in other new households who are willing and has their micro investment plans at household level. Not only this, these LSOs are also making their best, that the incremental amount of CIF may also be provided to such households who have very tangible plans for their livelihood purposes.
In addition to this, LSO office bearers are also paying special attention to the utilization of CIF amount and it has been emphasized on households to make the possible use this amount to open up their livelihood options at the household level. Furthermore, the urge was made in the household to protect and enhance their existing livelihood sources and means with their possible efforts.
The maximum involvement of VOs/LSOs has started to put a positive impact on the recovery and the rural community genuinely realizes that the revolving of CIF amount would have additional benefits. The communities have been consistently unaware about the continuous recycling of CIF amount which had suspended after the dual flooding in 2010 and followed by rainfalls of 2012 in three UCBRPR districts.
Now with this approach the community and the respective LSO office bearers clearly demonstrating their role and getting well involved with their community level institutions for the development of their respective areas through the community is driven initiatives and approaches. The efforts of rural women have created a great zeal in other rural women which, additionally strengthening the women empowerment, and emerging as the effective way to alleviate poverty. The involvement of rural women in various social events, activities programs have significantly restricted the occurrence of violence against women in these three districts.
