Preface The study Impact Assessment of the District Poverty Initiative Project, Rajasthan is commissioned by the State Project Monitoring Unit of the District Project Initiative Project (DPIP) assisted by the World Bank with the objective to study the impact of the DPIP and suggest some possible future directions for the second phase of the project if implemented. The DPIP addresses multidimensional aspects of poverty that includes mobilizing and empowering the poor and help them to develop strong grassroots organizations that facilitate access to and participation in democratic and development processes; expand the involvement of the poor in economic activities by improving their capacities, skills, access to social and economic infrastructure and services and employment opportunities; and supporting small scale sub-projects that are priority chosen, planned and implemented by the poor. The Impact assessment has covered only a select number of Indicators identified in the Base Line Survey (BLS) conducted earlier by the Institute. The Survey was conducted in all seven districts of the DPIP and covered around 1100 households. We find that the economic returns from the Sub Project Activities are reasonable; varying across the projects. Dairy projects have been able to generate regular income flows due to significant forward linkages. In others, returns are linked to local demand and environment and group dynamics appears to be playing a role. The impact can also be seen in terms of increased incomes, reduced family sizes, creation of assets, and enhanced women participation in decision making. There are however, many lessons to be learnt in the processes and outcomes. There many grey areas where added efforts and more systematic approach to issues would have led better performance. All stakeholders have something to learn because all were found wanting. Any intervention of such magnitude is bound to have varied experiences for different stakeholders. It appears that enroute modifications are necessary to achieve better results. Poor have limited capacity to realize fuller gains from such interventions. Sustainability of assets and skills would go a long way in future to help poor get out poverty. Clusters need to be formed to help create demands and service supply channels. State has its limitations and civil society involvement can go to an extent; their capacities in terms of manpower and interventions are 2
limited too. Panchayati Raj Institutions only keep checks and balances as the rural communities are increasing at crossroads to share limited gains that accrue from such interventions. Tuch programs need to synergize with other on-going activities in the village. Systems needs to made simple that can be easily adopted. We are thankful to the Director, State Project Management Unit of the DPIP, the District Project Management Units, the Non-Governmental Organizations involved in the DPIP and the World Bank staff who helped us during the course of the study. We would particularly like to thank Dr. Asmeen Khan and Dr. Puja Dutta from the World Bank and Shri Abhay Kumar, Shri K.L. Meena, Shri R.K. Nag and Shri Vikas Sharma from the DPIP Rajasthan for bearing with us. We place on record support of all the respondents and active involvement of field staff in assisting in such a gigantic task. Errors if any are ours. Surjit Singh Radheyshyam Sharma 3
