C. Jeevika’s Comprehensive, Integrated Approach

To achieve these objectives, Jeevika has adopted a comprehensive, integrated approach that is designed to place the villagers – the poorest of the poor and women in particular – at the centre of the development process. All planning, implementation and monitoring are demand-driven and conducted by the villagers themselves. Under Jeevika, furthermore, there is a convergence of project resources with those of existing government and non-government programs, thus maximizing the resources available to project villages. The six individual components of this comprehensive, integrated approach are as follows:

Capacity Building and Stakeholder Empowerment
   
Enhancement of Livelihood Systems and Crisis Coping Capability
   
Drought Proofing through Integrated Land and Water Management
