ORGANISATION BACKGROUND: Bharat Rural Livelihoods Foundation (BRLF) is an independent organisation initiated by the Government of India (GOI) under the Societies Registration Act. The organisation facilitates civil society action in partnership with the Central and State Governments to transform the livelihoods and lives of rural households, emphasising women, particularly in the Central Indian Tribal Region and North East Region of India. BRLF fosters civil society action in partnership with the Government to transform the livelihoods and lives of people across India. The organisation focuses on the regeneration of natural resources, increase and harvesting of water for irrigation, promotion of livelihoods, including livestock and off-farm livelihoods, and financial inclusion of women-led SHGs, to transform the lives of the rural poor. BRLF emphasises the creation of powerful grassroots institutions led by women to lead interventions aimed at the poor. The organisation works actively through grassroots CSOs, with communities on the ground to reduce the gap between program outlays made by the government and corporations. Program outcomes are achieved by strengthening democratic institutions at the grassroots, improving the quality of program implementation, and scaling-up successful Livelihood intervention models so that the poor, particularly tribal households, can escape poverty and deprivation.

In the initial phase, BRLF will target 40000 STs and Adivasis households in the project area. The implementation strategy of this proposed project envisages that CSOs will provide facilitation support to the Gram Panchayats and front-line Government functionaries for participatory planning and provide onsite technical support for better implementation of the planned interventions. The targeted households’ physical work and input support would be managed by leveraging financial resources from Government flagship schemes like MGNREGA and other line departments working under BTR. BRLF will support through monitoring and evaluating the CSO partner’s performance as per project targets and deliverables. This will be ensured by setting up a “State Level Project Management Unit” (SPMU). The SPMU is expected to perform nodal roles by setting up a cell, which will closely work with the State MGNREGS Cell for effective and efficient system development for the State and CSOs. The interface with the State, engagement and coordination with various HR and experts will be integrated within its norms and processes. At the same time, SPMU will continue to play the role of Project lead to build the capacities of CSOs partners and facilitate the capacity-building plan and implementation for the PRI and government functionaries. In addition, it implements the project deliverables through its own eight field teams through strong monitoring and evaluation system. 2.
