Community managed through CBOs
Prioritisation by community for finance.
End to end monitoring by community.
Responsibility and ownership.
Reasons for success
Some Vos are arranging common tuitions for their
children from their surplus (profit)
ECE center’s (play school)are being run by the CBOs
Vos are financing the education loans to their members.
Some CBOs are running Neighborhood centre’s for PHC children.
Education- Interventions by CBO’s
End to end control and monitoring by CBOs. The MDM to be financed through CBOs where
they can monitor the Quality and Hygiene. CBOs can prioritise and finance the related
investments in both backward and forward linkages in MDM.
The Responsibility, Monitoring and ownership rests with the community for their own good.
Proposed model-MDM
PILOT IN 3 MANDALS IN DIFFERENT DISTRICTS ?
Why not MDM through CBOs
