Overview • 2000 – present: Srikakulam district (AP), 37 blocks, 30-40 villages • Issues / programs • Agriculture (biointensive gardens, organic farming, seed distribution) • Energy (electrification, haybox) • Water treatment / purification & flood management (soakpits) • Programs for women (Anganwadi, reproductive health) • Campaigns (NREGA, RTI) • Programs for children (library, video medium awareness) • Livelihood (Jeevika) • Community initiatives for elderly (vriddhashram), computer center, linking with Saathis

  3. Budget Needs • Total Needs (2010-2011): Rs. 15,87,010 (~$34,287) • Already Committed Chapters • College Park Rs. 300,000 ($6481) • Tempe Rs. 185,000 ($3997) • San Diego Rs. 215,000 ($4645) • West Virginia Rs. 213,750 ($4610) • Bloomington Rs. 162,260 ($3505) • Boston Rs. 370,281 ($8000) • TOTAL Rs. 14,46,291 ($31,247) • Remaining need: Rs. 140,700 (~$3040)

  4. Discussion : SIDP • Successes and Challenges • Local perceptions / participation in AID • Areas for innovation: Is there “partnership” with local knowledge systems? • Suggestions forward • More “user-friendly” project reports (description of problems, “local voices from the field,” experience of engagement of AID with local population, directions of needs & solutions) • Collation of Q&As with AID chapters since inception • Locate Srikakulam IDP within larger context of political and economic changes in AP and India  interconnectedness of local with regional, national and global (e.g., SEZ impact; caste composition, land tenure and ownership, other NGOs)

  5. Discussion: Learning Component • What it Means to ‘Support’ a Development Project? “Support” at many levels (apart from resources) • relationship that we are interested in building (partnership, interconnectedness, empowerment, participation) • What is “integrated” about SIDP? • How does SIDP empower? • vision that propels our actions and the objectives/goals that derive from it (long-term, reflective engagement, alternative paradigms of development) • What is “sustainable” about SIDP? • How does SIDP enable equity, justice over time? • commitment of chapter volunteers (strong, open communication, systematic, clarity, learning)
