National Project Implementation Plan - NVBDCP

15.5 Framework for Consultations with Vulnerable Communities
during Project Implementation
The framework for consultations with tribal people and other vulnerable
communities in the project areas during project implementation is presented in
Table 2. It indicates the, the possible facilitators at different levels, methods
they could use and frequency of consultation. These consultations are
expected to give ‘real time’, experience-based feedback from clients, local
leaders, staff and NGOs on how the project is functioning in tribal areas and/or
for vulnerable communities, including suggestions for improvement of any
aspect of the program. They will also contribute to the design and
implementation of BCC efforts, operational pilots, and NGO involvement, to
help ensure need- and demand-based, culturally-acceptable approaches, plans
and service delivery.
