&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The government is collaborating with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to ensure that India&amp;rsquo;s flagship welfare programme leads to a tangible improvement in the human development index among the scheme&amp;rsquo;s beneficiaries.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;UNDP and the Union government have launched a pilot project aimed at making the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) more efficient and effective by coordinating it with other development programmes.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The idea is to leverage this massive scheme better and widen its impact,&amp;rdquo; said a rural development ministry official familiar with the matter who didn&amp;rsquo;t want to be identified. &amp;ldquo;This is a part of the many initiatives the government is taking under (MG)NREGA.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Towards this end, the government has invited proposals from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and professional institutes to initiate such a project, which would include using the scheme for sustainable development through such convergence of programmes or other innovative initiatives in order to help strengthen the scheme as well as bolster the livelihood resource base of the rural poor.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;MGNREGA assures 100 days of manual work every year to at least one member of each rural household. Since it was launched, the scheme has provided employment to 17.9 million households, generating 439 million person-days of employment. NGOs have to submit their proposals by Tuesday for the 12-month project. The process includes giving micro grants to NGOs and the signing of a memorandum of understanding. Funds will be released in three instalments&amp;mdash;the first will be paid at the time of signing, the second at the time of the interim report and the third after the final report is submitted.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The joint project, Support to Operationalization of MGNREGA, aims to ensure pro-poor communications and advocacy strategies as well as the articulation of demand for work, among others.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Selection norms will include justification, innovation, sustainability, scalabilty, cost effectiveness, equity and experience. &amp;ldquo;A majority of (MG)NREGS workers stand very low on human development indicators and earn their livelihood through unskilled, casual manual labour and exploitation of natural resource base,&amp;rdquo; according to the official document inviting proposals from NGOs. &amp;ldquo;This dependence make them more vulnerable to crisis...which adversely impact their employment opportunities and reduce their ability to move out of the poverty trap.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The areas of intervention will include using MGNREGA worksites for sustainable livelihood and value addition to assets through convergence, areas of human resource development such as literacy, healthcare and skill building, leading eventually to sustainable employment. The ministry of rural development, which oversees the scheme, has been introducing several initiatives to better utilize MGNREGA.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Some of these, as reported by Mint, include linking the job guarantee scheme to skill development through the Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana, introducing biometric-aided identity checks and drawing up a timeline to ensure timely payment to MGNREGA workers. This scheme is the government&amp;rsquo;s single largest social welfare programme, with a budget allocation of `40,100 crore.&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The joint project, Support to Operationalization of MGNREGA, aims to ensure pro-poor communications and advocacy strategies as well as the articulation of demand for work, among others.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Selection norms will include justification, innovation, sustainability, scalabilty, cost effectiveness, equity and experience. &amp;ldquo;A majority of (MG)NREGS workers stand very low on human development indicators and earn their livelihood through unskilled, casual manual labour and exploitation of natural resource base,&amp;rdquo; according to the official document inviting proposals from NGOs. &amp;ldquo;This dependence make them more vulnerable to crisis...which adversely impact their employment opportunities and reduce their ability to move out of the poverty trap.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The areas of intervention will include using MGNREGA worksites for sustainable livelihood and value addition to assets through convergence, areas of human resource development such as literacy, healthcare and skill building, leading eventually to sustainable employment. The ministry of rural development, which oversees the scheme, has been introducing several initiatives to better utilize MGNREGA.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Some of these, as reported by Mint, include linking the job guarantee scheme to skill development through the Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana, introducing biometric-aided identity checks and drawing up a timeline to ensure timely payment to MGNREGA workers. This scheme is the government&amp;rsquo;s single largest social welfare programme, with a budget allocation of `40,100 crore.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The government is collaborating with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to ensure that India&amp;rsquo;s flagship welfare programme leads to a tangible improvement in the human development index among the scheme&amp;rsquo;s beneficiaries.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;UNDP and the Union government have launched a pilot project aimed at making the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) more efficient and effective by coordinating it with other development programmes.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The idea is to leverage this massive scheme better and widen its impact,&amp;rdquo; said a rural development ministry official familiar with the matter who didn&amp;rsquo;t want to be identified. &amp;ldquo;This is a part of the many initiatives the government is taking under (MG)NREGA.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Towards this end, the government has invited proposals from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and professional institutes to initiate such a project, which would include using the scheme for sustainable development through such convergence of programmes or other innovative initiatives in order to help strengthen the scheme as well as bolster the livelihood resource base of the rural poor.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;MGNREGA assures 100 days of manual work every year to at least one member of each rural household. Since it was launched, the scheme has provided employment to 17.9 million households, generating 439 million person-days of employment. NGOs have to submit their proposals by Tuesday for the 12-month project. The process includes giving micro grants to NGOs and the signing of a memorandum of understanding. Funds will be released in three instalments&amp;mdash;the first will be paid at the time of signing, the second at the time of the interim report and the third after the final report is submitted.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The government is collaborating with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to ensure that India&amp;rsquo;s flagship welfare programme leads to a tangible improvement in the human development index among the scheme&amp;rsquo;s beneficiaries.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;UNDP and the Union government have launched a pilot project aimed at making the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) more efficient and effective by coordinating it with other development programmes.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The idea is to leverage this massive scheme better and widen its impact,&amp;rdquo; said a rural development ministry official familiar with the matter who didn&amp;rsquo;t want to be identified. &amp;ldquo;This is a part of the many initiatives the government is taking under (MG)NREGA.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Towards this end, the government has invited proposals from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and professional institutes to initiate such a project, which would include using the scheme for sustainable development through such convergence of programmes or other innovative initiatives in order to help strengthen the scheme as well as bolster the livelihood resource base of the rural poor.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;MGNREGA assures 100 days of manual work every year to at least one member of each rural household. Since it was launched, the scheme has provided employment to 17.9 million households, generating 439 million person-days of employment. NGOs have to submit their proposals by Tuesday for the 12-month project. The process includes giving micro grants to NGOs and the signing of a memorandum of understanding. Funds will be released in three instalments&amp;mdash;the first will be paid at the time of signing, the second at the time of the interim report and the third after the final report is submitted.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The joint project, Support to Operationalization of MGNREGA, aims to ensure pro-poor communications and advocacy strategies as well as the articulation of demand for work, among others.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Selection norms will include justification, innovation, sustainability, scalabilty, cost effectiveness, equity and experience. &amp;ldquo;A majority of (MG)NREGS workers stand very low on human development indicators and earn their livelihood through unskilled, casual manual labour and exploitation of natural resource base,&amp;rdquo; according to the official document inviting proposals from NGOs. &amp;ldquo;This dependence make them more vulnerable to crisis...which adversely impact their employment opportunities and reduce their ability to move out of the poverty trap.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The areas of intervention will include using MGNREGA worksites for sustainable livelihood and value addition to assets through convergence, areas of human resource development such as literacy, healthcare and skill building, leading eventually to sustainable employment. The ministry of rural development, which oversees the scheme, has been introducing several initiatives to better utilize MGNREGA.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Some of these, as reported by Mint, include linking the job guarantee scheme to skill development through the Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana, introducing biometric-aided identity checks and drawing up a timeline to ensure timely payment to MGNREGA workers. This scheme is the government&amp;rsquo;s single largest social welfare programme, with a budget allocation of `40,100 crore.&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The government is collaborating with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to ensure that India&amp;rsquo;s flagship welfare programme leads to a tangible improvement in the human development index among the scheme&amp;rsquo;s beneficiaries.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;UNDP and the Union government have launched a pilot project aimed at making the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) more efficient and effective by coordinating it with other development programmes.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The idea is to leverage this massive scheme better and widen its impact,&amp;rdquo; said a rural development ministry official familiar with the matter who didn&amp;rsquo;t want to be identified. &amp;ldquo;This is a part of the many initiatives the government is taking under (MG)NREGA.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Towards this end, the government has invited proposals from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and professional institutes to initiate such a project, which would include using the scheme for sustainable development through such convergence of programmes or other innovative initiatives in order to help strengthen the scheme as well as bolster the livelihood resource base of the rural poor.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;MGNREGA assures 100 days of manual work every year to at least one member of each rural household. Since it was launched, the scheme has provided employment to 17.9 million households, generating 439 million person-days of employment. NGOs have to submit their proposals by Tuesday for the 12-month project. The process includes giving micro grants to NGOs and the signing of a memorandum of understanding. Funds will be released in three instalments&amp;mdash;the first will be paid at the time of signing, the second at the time of the interim report and the third after the final report is submitted.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The joint project, Support to Operationalization of MGNREGA, aims to ensure pro-poor communications and advocacy strategies as well as the articulation of demand for work, among others.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Selection norms will include justification, innovation, sustainability, scalabilty, cost effectiveness, equity and experience. &amp;ldquo;A majority of (MG)NREGS workers stand very low on human development indicators and earn their livelihood through unskilled, casual manual labour and exploitation of natural resource base,&amp;rdquo; according to the official document inviting proposals from NGOs. &amp;ldquo;This dependence make them more vulnerable to crisis...which adversely impact their employment opportunities and reduce their ability to move out of the poverty trap.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The areas of intervention will include using MGNREGA worksites for sustainable livelihood and value addition to assets through convergence, areas of human resource development such as literacy, healthcare and skill building, leading eventually to sustainable employment. The ministry of rural development, which oversees the scheme, has been introducing several initiatives to better utilize MGNREGA.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Some of these, as reported by Mint, include linking the job guarantee scheme to skill development through the Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana, introducing biometric-aided identity checks and drawing up a timeline to ensure timely payment to MGNREGA workers.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The government is collaborating with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to ensure that India&amp;rsquo;s flagship welfare programme leads to a tangible improvement in the human development index among the scheme&amp;rsquo;s beneficiaries.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;UNDP and the Union government have launched a pilot project aimed at making the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) more efficient and effective by coordinating it with other development programmes.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The idea is to leverage this massive scheme better and widen its impact,&amp;rdquo; said a rural development ministry official familiar with the matter who didn&amp;rsquo;t want to be identified. &amp;ldquo;This is a part of the many initiatives the government is taking under (MG)NREGA.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Towards this end, the government has invited proposals from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and professional institutes to initiate such a project, which would include using the scheme for sustainable development through such convergence of programmes or other innovative initiatives in order to help strengthen the scheme as well as bolster the livelihood resource base of the rural poor.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The joint project, Support to Operationalization of MGNREGA, aims to ensure pro-poor communications and advocacy strategies as well as the articulation of demand for work, among others.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Selection norms will include justification, innovation, sustainability, scalabilty, cost effectiveness, equity and experience. &amp;ldquo;A majority of (MG)NREGS workers stand very low on human development indicators and earn their livelihood through unskilled, casual manual labour and exploitation of natural resource base,&amp;rdquo; according to the official document inviting proposals from NGOs. &amp;ldquo;This dependence make them more vulnerable to crisis...which adversely impact their employment opportunities and reduce their ability to move out of the poverty trap.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The government is collaborating with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to ensure that India&amp;rsquo;s flagship welfare programme leads to a tangible improvement in the human development index among the scheme&amp;rsquo;s beneficiaries.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;UNDP and the Union government have launched a pilot project aimed at making the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) more efficient and effective by coordinating it with other development programmes.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The idea is to leverage this massive scheme better and widen its impact,&amp;rdquo; said a rural development ministry official familiar with the matter who didn&amp;rsquo;t want to be identified. &amp;ldquo;This is a part of the many initiatives the government is taking under (MG)NREGA.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Towards this end, the government has invited proposals from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and professional institutes to initiate such a project, which would include using the scheme for sustainable development through such convergence of programmes or other innovative initiatives in order to help strengthen the scheme as well as bolster the livelihood resource base of the rural poor.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;MGNREGA assures 100 days of manual work every year to at least one member of each rural household.

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The joint project, Support to Operationalization of MGNREGA, aims to ensure pro-poor communications and advocacy strategies as well as the articulation of demand for work, among others.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Selection norms will include justification, innovation, sustainability, scalabilty, cost effectiveness, equity and experience. &amp;ldquo;A majority of (MG)NREGS workers stand very low on human development indicators and earn their livelihood through unskilled, casual manual labour and exploitation of natural resource base,&amp;rdquo; according to the official document inviting proposals from NGOs. &amp;ldquo;This dependence make them more vulnerable to crisis...which adversely impact their employment opportunities and reduce their ability to move out of the poverty trap.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;

Govt, UNDP aim to make job scheme effective by Ruhi Tewari

The government is collaborating with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to ensure that India’s flagship welfare programme leads to a tangible improvement in the human development index among the scheme’s beneficiaries. UNDP and the Union government have launched a pilot project aimed at making the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) more efficient and effective by coordinating it with other development programmes. “The idea is to leverage this massive scheme better and widen its impact,” said a rural development ministry official familiar with the matter who didn’t want to be identified. “This is a part of the many initiatives the government is taking under (MG)NREGA.” Towards this end, the government has invited proposals from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and professional institutes to initiate such a project, which would include using the scheme for sustainable development through such convergence of programmes or other innovative initiatives in order to help strengthen the scheme as well as bolster the livelihood resource base of the rural poor. MGNREGA assures 100 days of manual work every year to at least one member of each rural household. Since it was launched, the scheme has provided employment to 17.9 million households, generating 439 million person-days of employment. NGOs have to submit their proposals by Tuesday for the 12-month project. The process includes giving micro grants to NGOs and the signing of a memorandum of understanding. Funds will be released in three instalments—the first will be paid at the time of signing, the second at the time of the interim report and the third after the final report is submitted. The joint project, Support to Operationalization of MGNREGA, aims to ensure pro-poor communications and advocacy strategies as well as the articulation of demand for work, among others. Selection norms will include justification, innovation, sustainability, scalabilty, cost effectiveness, equity and experience. “A majority of (MG)NREGS workers stand very low on human development indicators and earn their livelihood through unskilled, casual manual labour and exploitation of natural resource base,” according to the official document inviting proposals from NGOs. “This dependence make them more vulnerable to crisis...which adversely impact their employment opportunities and reduce their ability to move out of the poverty trap.” The areas of intervention will include using MGNREGA worksites for sustainable livelihood and value addition to assets through convergence, areas of human resource development such as literacy, healthcare and skill building, leading eventually to sustainable employment.
