<strong>Project</strong> <strong>Document</strong><br />
Department <strong>for</strong> International Development (DFID; UK Government) is funding Government<br />
of Andhra Pradesh - the Andhra Pradesh Rural Livelihoods <strong>Project</strong> (APRLP) assisting in the<br />
scaling-up of watershed activity by providing financial support <strong>for</strong> capacity building, livelihood<br />
support and convergence of other schemes and services.<br />
APRLP aims to reduce poverty through the strategy of building effective and sustainable<br />
rural livelihoods in 5 of the state’s drought prone districts (Anantapur, Kurnool,<br />
Mahabubnagar, Nalgonda, and Prakasam), taking watersheds as an initial entry point. The<br />
project’s broader goal is that more effective and sustainable approaches are adopted by<br />
government agencies and other stakeholders to eliminate poverty in drought-prone areas<br />
of AP.<br />
The sustainable rural livelihood strategy (SRL) is based on an analysis of the capital assets<br />
(physical, social, human, natural and financial) from which the rural poor derive their<br />
livelihoods. The approach also takes into consideration the vulnerability context and the<br />
policy and institutional environment. The project will enable Government of Andhra Pradesh<br />
(GoAP) to carry out interventions which build on people’s strengths and will include activities<br />
which are off-farm and non-farm as well as those which are land-based.<br />
APRLP provides critical support to the on-going watershed movement in five drought prone<br />
districts in Andhra Pradesh. The mandate is to position livelihood concerns strategically in<br />
watersheds <strong>for</strong> the inclusion of women, the poor and the landless. The project advocates<br />
innovation, lesson learning, convergent actions and policy influence. APRLP will invest in<br />
a new stream of approaches and ideas <strong>for</strong> bringing about a positive change in the wellbeing<br />
of the rural populace.<br />
