24
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

25

• Agreed Minutes Meghalaya
• Indicators
• Department mainstream actions prescribed by the
  State Action Plan on Climate Change (SAPCC) into
  centrally sponsored and state sponsored schemes
• Key stakeholders including traditional local
  governance representatives confirm that they have
  used knowledge on climate change adaptation
• Natural resource (including jhum land) based
  activities have reduced risks despite observed
  climate variability
• Intervention Areas of the TC Measure
• Implementation, review and monitoring of the
  State Action Plan on Climate Change
• Improved systems of natural resources utilization
  and governance
• Institutional and human capacity building for
  climate change adaptation
• Knowledge management

• NER

29
Regional Knowledge Management

• Rationale
• Linking KM within the States to a regional
  context / mechanism
• Additional concerns and rationale for Regional KM
• NER globally recognized as biodiversity hot-spot
• Limited awareness understanding on CCA
• National concern for inclusive growth and tapping
  resources available in the NER

30
Principles of Regional Knowledge Management

• Multi-stakeholder participation
• Potentially all NE states
• Multi-stakeholder contribution
• Community, civil society, government, traditional
  institutions, financial institutions, research
  bodies
• Multi-level sharing
• Community, state, regional, national

31
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

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

35
Proposed project design

• TC project Goal / objective
• Rural people in the NER enhance their livelihood
  resilience and adaptive capacities to the impacts
  of climate variability and change
• TC project objective
• Government departments, key partner institutions
  and communities in the NE States have policies,
  competencies and instruments for adaptation to
  climate change.

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.
