Implementation

Poverty Scorecard

IET implements its various projects using the Poverty scorecard to determine the project beneficiaries. The Poverty scorecard is administered through a survey is used to collect household data. The resulting information is then used to create a database and develop projects keeping the needs and aspirations of the beneficiaries foremost. Through this process those identified as Ultra poor and vulnerable poor are assisted to benefit from IET interventions which are based on the needs and requirements of the community, households and individuals. Following this process enables IET to collaborate with community institutions, community members and individuals to build a clear and wholistic picture of the needs for its targeted interventions and ensure the needs of all stakeholders are taken into consideration.

IET uses PPAF guidelines for Poverty Score Card survey.

Training and Empowerment

IET believes that training is an important component of any development initiative. All of IET’s programs consist of various activities designed to assist in community empowerment. IET imparts specialized trainings for community and individuals to enable them collectively resolve development issues, leading to organized and sustained development at the community level. Current established Training Programs include:

Training at the Village Organization (VO) level and Assistance in Development of Village Development Plan

These are

1. Basic Civic and Constitutional Rights

The organizations are encouraged and assisted to form a Village Development Plan, which looks at issues present in the village and chalks out a future needs plan.

Selected community members are encouraged to undertake Change-maker training. These resource persons are trained to act as community champions and resolve community issues.
