Climate Change Context for TC - Meghalaya

Findings Stress factors to natural resources and rural people, other

than climate change are felt to be of higher importance. Access to natural resources by local people monopolized by

local elites. Marketing dominated by forces with immediate commercial

interests and no concern for long term sustainability Limited outreach of government programmes to rural

population. Local traditional governance systems are not well equipped

to support government delivery Focus

better access of local communities to government services for raising competences towards improved systems including NR use governance, environmental conservation, and climate proofed production

Agreed Minutes – Meghalaya

Indicators: Department mainstream actions prescribed by the State Action Plan on

Objectives of Regional Knowledge Management

Networking Organize a knowledge & information sharing platform Horizontal networking & knowledge-sharing among states Need based services for SAPCC review and implementation

Research Identification of common CC-related research needs Identification of research agendas that are more people-driven & responsive Initiate proactive interface between researchers & practioners to promote adaptive-

reseach

Policy Dialogue To produce clarity and generate knowledge products in relation to regional CC /

biodiversity concerns as well as strengths that can contribute to national policy making

On regional strengths that can contribute to effective CC adaptation strategies for incorporation in National/State Action Plans/Missions for CC

To influence process of national CSS policy making that is more sensitive to unique NE concerns that leads to innovative development instruments

The Project Design

20.04.23 Seite 34Page 34

How Agreed Minutes of the States are used for Project Design

The TC project objectives need to capture the expected summary outcome of all intervention areas

The indicators of the overall TC project design describe results of interventions, which incorporate indicators of agreed minutes of the 3 States, and are measurable during the lifetime of the project

The TC project steering structure is built on the existing structures dealing with climate change within each State under the leadership of MoDoNER

20.04.23 Seite 35Page 35

Proposed project design

TC project Goal / objectiveRural people in the NER enhance their livelihood resilience and adaptive capacities to the impacts of climate variability and change

TC project objectiveGovernment departments, key partner institutions and communities in the NE States have policies, competencies and instruments for adaptation to climate change.

20.04.23 Seite 36Page 36

Proposed project design: Indicators

Joint review of SAPCC by Government and other stakeholder groups ensures that adaptation measures are implemented in public sector programmes along needs of vulnerable groups in rural areas.

Key stakeholders, such as NGOs, CBOs, research institutes, micro- finance suppliers, government scheme holders have clarity on their roles to promote CC resilient value chains in selected priority commodities.

State governments use knowledge products to take informed policy and service delivery decisions, which address CC related vulnerability needs of rural communities.

State governments use a regional KM forum and network for sharing information, for generating knowledge products, and for providing demand based services.

Training institutions are able to deliver CCA relevant trainings along identified needs.
