Figure 2: Samriddhi’s vision towards sustainability. The main entry points for the project are the community
platforms, the rural MSEs and producers, and the service provision market (i.e. the SPAs).
The provision of these services in rural areas is seen as a separate market system with demand
and supply of services in the core, flanked by supporting functions, and enabling environment.
The main actors in this system are the local service providers, service provider associations,
government line agencies and private companies, but also the local, district and national
government bodies play a crucial role.
In order to work towards a sustainable system as depicted above, the project analysed all
crucial functions and actors required for the two systems to work. The tables in annex 4 show
the envisaged evolution of actors’ roles and responsibilities from the current set-up to a future
situation corresponding to the vision.
The central assumption for both the development of the vision and the definition of future actors
providing crucial functions was that the project will in future be less and less directly involved. It
is envisaged that the project phases out some direct support to individual producers, individual
CBOs as well as individual LSPs in the beginning of the next phase. The project will strengthen
