2. Core Programmes (Doris and Dr. George)

2.1 Doris Hospital Community Health Centre, Muthyalapadu Introduction: BIRDS is associated with community health care since 2000 at villages, with support services given by our community organizers with occasional health camps with the support of local doctors along with referrals to the government hospitals in emergencies. Later BIRDS was involved in the poverty assessment study along with Action aid India for World Bank on preparation of world development report, untouchable study, Study on Sex workers, affects of money lenders in poor families and Affects of factionist among children has given large understanding to deepen our concerns and the vicious circle of the poverty situation especially among the women and children are very high. Most similarly we have found the large number of children and mother die during the pregnancy and delivery due to high malnourishment and not accessed to good health systems.

BIRDS have taken the responsibility to work in 42 villages especially on malnourishment. BIRDS have identified the better and effective way to reach this large number of poor women and children through community health workers, and recruited the local women as community health workers, trained them on several areas including the traditional birth attenders with very cooperation of the local government health staff for the 100 percent immunization through these community health workers and started to monitor the health issues and activities in the villages. To ensure the institutional and safe deliveries BIRDS has thought to start a community health center at BIRDS farm, and same was discussed at length with Dr.Ginny and Dr.George during the first visit of Paul Raja Rao to Portland as international mission associate has given a good chance to discuss and requested Dr. Ginny to visit BIRDS as mission trip in September 2004, during the mission visit BIRDS has laid a foundation stone in the presence of Dr.Ginny and other team members to start the community health center at farm to serve the needy poor dalits, women, children and small and marginal framers on health issues. The construction was started with kind support of Doris from Albany, Dr.George and Eva Pertermeier.

BIRDS Annual Report - 2015 16 BIRDS DORIS Community Health Center is the only hospital in this area which works round the clock with the support and care from Dr. George, Dr. Ginny Feldman, Dr. Christie, Mary Beth, Health Workers and others. People of the villages surrounding this hospital are very happy about the services by the hospital. The patients are increasing and that too new patients are coming after they have been advised by the people who received care and treatment here.

“On behalf of community, executive body and staff of BIRDS we express our gratitude and thankfulness to Dr. Ginny Feldman, and Dr George Feldman & family for their love and affection with continued financial help since 2004 to 2015 and technical guidance to the hospital. We also thank Mother Doris for her financial help to the Hospital running expenditure, similarly we thank Barbara Campbell, Barbara Whitmore, Hanna Blaney, Kathy kingsley many others including the BIRDS DORIS staff and Mr. Pradeep, Mrs. Sindhura, Dr. Ramakrishna Reddy and Dr. Ms. Sarah for their efforts to make this hospital very much useful to the community"

3. Groundwater Governance through Panchayat Raj Institutions in Andhra Pradesh (GGPRI-AP) Project

Introduction The ‘Groundwater Governance through Panchayat Raj Institutions in Andhra Pradesh’ pilot project is being implemented in five districts of Andhra Pradesh (Anantapur, Chittoor, Kadapa, Kurnool, and Prakasam), where FAO-APFAMGS successfully demonstrated the impact of the work on changes in the demand side in managing groundwater distress. In the pilot phase, the project aims to refurbish all groundwater monitoring infrastructure and establish linkages with Gram Panchayat for improved governance of this key resource. This initiative is co-funded by FAO and the Government of Andhra Pradesh. It is expected that the pilot initiative will develop a model for upscaling the project to cover all areas in these five districts as well as parts of Nellore.

The pilot project’s duration is one year. The project has two major components. The first focuses on revitalizing the GMCs and HUNs formed under APFAMGS in 518 villages of the five districts. Additionally, it invests on repairing the PHM monitoring equipment to ensure that data collection is restored and collected regularly. APFAMGS promoted Groundwater Monitoring Committees (GMCs) and Hydrologic Unit Networks (HUNs) are taking lead in technical data generation, water budgeting, crop planning and crop adoption. The second component focuses on initiating groundwater governance through Gram Panchayats in 72 villages of Kurnool district. This includes elements of water sharing to improve equity and access to water and thereby control new drilling and unsustainable water-use.

This pilot is being implemented in close collaboration with the groundwater and agriculture departments both for design of data collection formats and also for data validation. Additional inputs will be drawn from the departments of Groundwater, Rural Water Supply department, District Water Management Agency (DWMA), Micro Irrigation, Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, Soil Conservation, and Animal Husbandry in these districts as required.

BIRDS Annual Report - 2015 62 BIRDS, the lead NGO in the erstwhile FAO-supported project is responsible for the project implementation. Improved groundwater governance involves coordination with the six partner agencies in implementing project activities such as, PHM data collection, data computerisation, data analysis, conduct of crop-water budgeting workshops, crop planning, crop adoption, capacity building of GP representatives, formation of farmer interest groups and farmer producer groups.

An agreement to this effect was signed between FAO and BIRDS on 1st October 2015. The total estimated budget for this pilot will be Rs 35,345,300 or about US$ 534,240. Of this, GOAP’s share will be Rs 23,778,500 (US$ 359,409). This will be used mainly for buying equipment for monitoring water levels, including those that are needed for monitoring rural water supply. FAO’s investment will focus more on the ‘softer’ side such as hiring village level co-ordinators, farmer’s training, expert consultancy and administrative support and is estimated at about Rs 11,566,800 or US$ 174,831. Of the total cost, US$ 174,831 would be sourced from the Netherlands Supported Project, GCP/IND/177/NET and Technical Cooperation Funds; and US$ 359,409 will be covered by Government of Andhra Pradesh.

1 Water balance and accounting will be conducted using the data collected in previous activity (indicator a). 2 Performance indicators in water accounting will be analysed to understand water availability status and water utilization pattern and identify opportunities for better water management and planning as per Molden (1997) & Molden and Sakthivadivel (1999). Overall water accounting analysis will be conducted to determine how productivity can be increased per unit of process depletion, how non-process depletion and uncommitted outflows can be reduced by adopting proper management strategies like introducing improved irrigation methods, water harvesting structures, water reuse etc. while preserving committed outflows. 3 A multi-stakeholder forum will be formed to undertake the water audit exercise and it will take a lead role in communicating the findings from the water audit analysis to a wider audience including the government. Water audit will be conducted to identify, adapt or develop solutions to priority problems that are politically, socially and culturally acceptable; take account of biophysical limitations and challenges; and recognize wider policy imperatives. Resources, Infrastructure, Demand/Access framework (RIDA) will be used to analyse and assess water related issues as part of the water audit exercise. Next, the existing water policy and governance system will be analysed using a customized set of governance principles and indicators similar to the one mentioned in “Planning a governance assessment: A guide to approaches, costs and benefits” UNDP (2009).

Component 1: Participatory Hydrological Monitoring

Outcome 1: Hydrological Unit Networks (HUNs) in five districts make informed decisions on agriculture livelihoods taking into account water availability.

Two Outputs were envisaged to occur as a result of the implementation of the activities under Component 1, discussed in the following section.

Output 1.1: Local monitoring systems of hydrological monitoring operating Target values and dates for realization of Output 1.1 were: a) Database of GP monitored data on groundwater levels, surface flow, rainfall and other meteorological parameters; in addition to secondary data on evapotranspiration for all land uses, drinking water and irrigation water usage, etc. for the 52 Hydrological Units spread over 5 districts. b) Soil moisture and soil organic carbon content improved in 52 HUs. c) Demand-side Water Management (DSWM) Plans using water balance/accounting and water audits prepared for 52 HUs facilitated through GPs

Progress is: a) Orientation of Gram Panchayat (GP) office bearers meeting have been initiated in December. b) 223 GMC meetings have been conducted c) 39 HUN meetings have been conducted. d) Repair/Replace PHM equipment and display boards is yet to be initiated as the Department of Agriculture, Government of Andhra Pradesh is yet to complete the procurement of the equipment. e) PHM data and dissemination is being done in 463 wells that are presently functional; f) Data classification and entry is ongoing; f) Maintenance of PHM equipment is ongoing, however equipment for dysfunctional wells needs to be procured. The procurement specifications have been provided to the Department of Agriculture. The procurement process in the DoA is moving at a slow pace.

Water Management Committees (WMC)/ Jala Mandali – WMCs alternatively called as “Jala Mandali“ have been formed at habitation and Grama Panchayat levels. Erstwhile GMCs of APFAMGS have been reconfigured as Jala Mandalis by incorporating members of Water Users Association (WUA), Vana Samrakshana Samithi (VSS), Village Water and Sanitation Committee (VWSC), etc.. The process involves organizing a Grama Sabha, which is the general body of the GMC, at habitation level, discussing steps for reconfiguring GMC as Jala Mandali, and nominating members to the reconfigured Jala Mandali. The village-level Jala Mandali nominates 3 to 5 members to the GP level WMC. In each GP, the members nominated by the village-level Jala Mandalis constitute the GP Jala Mandali under the chairmanship of the GP Sarpanch. The objective of the Jalamandali (WMC) is efficient water management based on participatory hydrological monitoring and resolving issues related to drinking and irrigation water.

BIRDS Annual Report - 2015 70

SUCCESS STORY BEEDI ROLLING TO SCHOOLFROM ANANTHAPURAM DISTRICT

Taslim, a second daughter in the family, lives in Kadiri, Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh, India along with her parents. Her mother works as beedi roller and earns very little and struggles to meet the ends. Her father is a daily labourer and most often spends his earnings on alcohol and also would fight for the earnings of his wife as well. The economic situation and the struggles in the family forces Taslim to drop out of school and start help her mother in beedi rolling. Thus, Taslim started earning about INR 80 to 100 a day and would go as her contribution to running the family. While she found joy in supporting her family, she was deeply disappointed that she could not go to school like other girls.

In March 2014, BIRDS - Plan conducted an awareness meeting on child rights and children issues in the community where Taslim lives. It was during this time that the headmaster of High school spoke about Taslim. Intervening to pull her away from beedi rolling and enrol her in school, BIRDS-Plan team counselled the parents and Taslim. The initiative of sensitizing the parents included not just the program team but also headmaster of the local school and other community elder. BIRDS-Plan also analysed the situation of the family carefully to develop most appropriate income generating

BIRDS Annual Report - 2015 85 programme for the family. In this process, Taslim’s mother was put on training in tailoring and Taslim was enrolled into 5th Class into Urdu medium school.

The happy Taslim has now completed one year of schooling successfully and continues her schooling in class 6. Her mother successfully completed training in tailoring and BIRDS-Plan assisted her in procuring a sewing machine and starts her profession in tailoring. Now, neither Taslim nor her mother is engaged in beedi rolling and family’s monthly average income is about INR 4000 to 4500. Taslim had the opportunity to learn about child rights, government’s development schemes for children through BIRDS-Plan CF- Capacity building trainings. She now plays an active role in identifying the incidents of child labour in her community and encouraging other children to go to school. When asked about her future goal, Taslim says that she would study well and take care of her parents and ensuring no child is out of school.

6. Integrating watershed management and participatory groundwater management - piloting groundwater management and governance through the Neeranchal Program (Govt. – UNDP)

Background: The Planning Commission of India in its Approach Paper to the 12th Five Year Plan highlighted the need for a paradigm shift in groundwater management, focusing on a participatory approach to sustainable management of groundwater. Taking this priority ahead, in a recent workshop on Participatory Groundwater Management (PGWM), the Planning Commission highlighted the potential for facilitating improved groundwater management through key rural development programmes like Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP), Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) and the National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP). Towards this objective, and as proposed by the Planning Commission, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) along with Advanced Center for Water Resources Development and Management (ACWADAM), Pune worked together to develop a proposal.

Objectives

 This is a project to be implemented over a total period of five years as collaboration between the Department of Land Resources (Integrated Watershed Management Programme - Neeranchal) and UNDP. UNDP has committed a sum of USD 750,000 (around INR 4.5 crores) for the first stage to be implemented over a period of three and a half years (42 months). The second stage will be implemented over one and a half years (18 months).

 The project will pilot participatory groundwater management at scales of watersheds in the Neeranchal-supported IWMP Programme in nine districts over a period of five years. The pilots will aim to develop various templates and tools which shall be used by the community to manage groundwater to enable (a) drinking water security and (b) sustained

BIRDS Annual Report - 2015 106 improvements in agricultural yields. The pilot will improve the effectiveness of Neeranchal by (a) reviewing the DPR prepared by the Project Implementing Agency (PIA)/Watershed Committee (WC) on aspects pertaining to water harvesting structures to achieve the desired outcomes. Necessary modifications to the DPRs would be facilitated through this project. (b) Supporting the WC and the village community to utilize groundwater resources in a sustainable, equitable and efficient manner.

 Further, the pilot will work closely with the communities to understand the water resources. This assessment will complement National Institute of Hydrology (NIH) to generate methodologies for groundwater assessment, in addition to also complementing the aquifer mapping project implemented by the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB). The pilot will generate information on groundwater assessment at a scale and in a form that will be useful to communities which are dependent on groundwater for drinking, irrigation and other uses.

 The pilots will also generate methodologies on groundwater management. These may include groundwater management protocols adopted by the Watershed Committee and farmers’ groups, resolutions adopted by the Gram Sabha and the Gram Panchayat, systems of monitoring and reporting on groundwater adopted by the village community and the imposition of restrictions on groundwater use by the community to safeguard its priorities. The pilots may also draw upon legal provisions set forth in respective State Groundwater Acts, if any.

 The pilots as mentioned are located in different agro-climatic zones and geo-hydrological conditions, the outcomes shall be used for the up-scaling while implementing the IWMP project.

The project will adopt the principles of participatory groundwater management, which include the following:

 Groundwater is a Common Pool Resource

 Principles and processes of groundwater management need to integrate different uses like drinking water and irrigation

 Issues regarding groundwater resources are more clearly defined through an understanding of the aquifer and its properties

 The minimum unit of management should be at least a micro watershed to begin with, and maximum unit could be the regional aquifer system

 Planning, management and monitoring will be executed by the community with support from appropriate, technically competent agencies

 Groundwater management should be based on a combination of local knowledge and formal science

BIRDS Annual Report - 2015 107 BIRDS’ being the APFAMGS nodal agency was invited to lead the program on Participatory groundwater management and also to implement the program in chittor district in AP and Mayurbhanj in Odisha states

Progress made so far:

 Submitted situational analysis report on both districts as per the guidelines

 Identified 3 blocks in each district to do block level situational analysis

 Staff participated in water quality training organized by ACT

 BIRDS’ team participated and presented the reports in the meeting organized by UNDP and ACWADAM.

 Officially Neeranchal Program was launched on December 16, 2015

7. Sanitary Napkin Project

Introduction It is the mission, duty and purpose of BIRDS - SHELTER to empower marginalized widows and abandoned women in rural Andhra Pradesh, India. BIRDS - SHELTER aims to achieve this goal through education, advocacy, and promotion of safe and secure employment for these at-risk women.

The Organization also seeks to raise awareness, both at home and abroad, around the issues facing widows and abandoned women in rural India. To raise awareness, BIRDS - SHELTER will

BIRDS Annual Report - 2015 109 provide information to the public on the discrimination and other social issues facing these women through its website and through fundraising events aiming to both spread awareness and raise funds for the development and maintenance of the SHELTER’s programs in Andhra Pradesh, India.

Current Activities:

SHELTER is currently raising funds to sustain its sanitary napkin manufacturing project in Andhra Pradesh, India. BIRDS - SHELTER also hosts “Widows Appreciation Day,” a bi-annual event where 100 widows are transported to the BIRDS campus in the Muthyalpadu village where they receive lunch, small gifts, and participate in activities to help combat grief and raise moral.

Project Purpose and Goals:

The goal of the Sanitary Napkin Project (SNP) is to provide a safe and respectful workplace for widows in a social business that will benefit women and girls in the area by providing them with affordable sanitary napkins.

Feminine hygiene is an important issue that is frequently neglected in many parts of the world. In fact, fewer than 1 in 10 teen girls and women in rural India use sanitary napkins (2011 AC Nielsen survey), instead using scraps of old clothes, or even newspapers or sand to manage their menses. Due to embarrassment, these cloths are rarely cleaned or properly sanitized and have been reported to increase the risk of disease in the reproductive track. In addition to issues of sanitation and health, not having a convenient solution for dealing with menses interferes with women’s ability to work or go to school during their menstrual cycles, and just adds to the myriad of challenges facing women in India trying to improve their lives, or those of their children.

As an organization that serves to improve the status of widows in rural Andhra Pradesh, SHELTERis launching the SNP to sustainably employ widows in the manufacture of affordable sanitary napkins. In impoverished rural India, widows are especially marginalized and face daily discrimination that often interferes with their ability to earn a living. Working for SHELTER, widows will earn a fair and dependable wage in a safe and supportive environment. By employing widows to create a product that will benefit the widows themselves as well as women and girls in the area, BIRDS – SHELTER will provide a sustainable social business model that has the potential to improve the lives of thousands of women and girls. By improving education around the issue of feminine hygiene, BIRDS – SHELTER expects have a wide and positive reach into the rural communities serviced by our partner organization, BIRDS—Bharati Integrated Rural Development Society, located in Kurnool District, Andhra Pradesh. Any profits generated through this social business will go towards SHELTER's programs to improve the lives of the area's widows.

Because sanitary napkins currently do not have a high rate of use in our target area, SHELTERwill launch the program with a series of health fairs and educational events, with participation by graduate students from Pacific University in Oregon and the help of community health workers at BIRDS.
