The Chhattisgarh Package programme of CASA, which was initiated in the year 2002, was the stepping-stone towards emergence of a state level forum of civil society organisations to strengthen voluntary action in the newly born state.
The package programme partners of CASA from 15 of the 16 districts of Chhattisgarh have facilitated the development processes from the grassroots by sharing a common perspective over local problems and issues and most importantly the implications of micro and macro policy level decisions. A value driven approach of the forum members is based on organizing and capacitating the referral community to promote people centered advocacy over appropriate matters and ensuring participation of the frontline masses is the long term thought.
The forum members have initiated various macro level efforts over regional, zonal and state level issues in a collaborative manner, the methodology has strengthened relationships and voluntary efforts and this gave rise to the emergence of Lok Sahbhagi Manch as a state level platform for addressing various issues in a collaborative manner with other civil society organisations and individuals. |
