Presentation at EU Focal Points Meeting_2 December 2015PCDACCOUNT
The document discusses the shift from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and what this means for policy coherence for development (PCD). The SDGs provide guidance on both goals and means of implementation. They recognize the importance of private and domestic resources, non-financial means of implementation, integrating the three dimensions of sustainable development, and reconciling potentially conflicting domestic and international policies. The OECD supports PCD through tools, monitoring, training members and partners, and applying a PCD lens to key issues.

The document discusses the impact of various development projects in India on tribal and rural communities. It describes how tribes have been displaced and harmed by projects like dams, army firing zones, mining, and industrialization that primarily benefit urban areas and private companies. The tribes often receive inadequate compensation and no alternative livelihoods. They have protested peacefully for their rights and environment protection with limited success. Large amounts of public funds are spent on projects but do not improve people's lives as promised. The document advocates for a self-sufficient village model of development that does not exploit rural communities.
The document discusses laws related to tribal land rights in India, including the Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act (PESA) of 1996 and the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act of 2006. Key objectives of these acts are to empower tribal communities, recognize their customary land rights, and ensure their livelihoods and poverty alleviation. Major provisions give ownership of minor forest produces and land to local Gram Sabhas (village councils) and require their consultation for projects involving land acquisition or rehabilitation. Issues in implementing the acts related to land acquisition are also reviewed.
This study shows that individual water management decisions in the Upper Niger have a profound effect on distributional environmental, economic and social benefits to people in different parts of the basin.
This presentation tells about the forest rights acts and highlights the issues in it's implementation, Aid for change work address the underlying issues and its impact on the community

This document discusses governing risks in implementing water-related SDGs. It presents different frameworks for conceptualizing and responding to risk, including adaptive governance, adaptive co-management, and anticipatory governance. It also discusses legal pluralism in water governance and how different types of legal pluralism problems require different solutions. Specifically, it examines issues around the human right to water and sanitation at international and local levels, as well as indigenous people's rights. A key conclusion is that implementing water SDGs is challenging due to significant existing legal pluralism around water and different stakeholder perspectives on risk framing.
NREGA, also known as MGNREGA, provides a legal guarantee for 100 days of employment per year to rural households. It aims to enhance livelihood security for the rural poor by providing wage employment for unskilled manual work. Some key objectives are drought proofing, promoting gender equality and empowering rural women. Implementation involves registration of job card holders, provision of work within 15 days of application, payment of minimum wages, and social audits by gram sabhas. While it has helped generate rural employment and empower women, some ongoing issues include delays in wage payments, capture of benefits by elite groups, and lack of monitoring leading to corruption in some areas.
The document summarizes the history and functions of Panchayati Raj, India's system of local self-government. Key points include:
- Panchayati Raj was established in 1957 to provide democratic local governance through village councils at three levels - village, block, and district.
- The 73rd amendment in 1993 gave constitutional status to Panchayati Raj, mandating elections every 5 years and reserving 1/3 of seats for women.
- Panchayat Samitis at the block level implement development schemes related to agriculture, education, infrastructure, and industries. Their main sources of funding are state government grants and loans.
- The updated system strengthened the three-tier structure
The document discusses the history and evolution of the Panchayati Raj system in India from pre-independence times to the modern system established by the 73rd and 74th Constitutional amendments. Key events include the establishment of village republics advocated by Gandhi, various committee recommendations from 1959-1977, and the landmark amendments in 1992 that constitutionally established local self-governance through Gram Sabhas and three-tier Panchayati Raj institutions. The amendments aimed to decentralize governance and development planning to local communities.
The document discusses India's monetary and fiscal policy. It outlines the objectives, instruments, and factors that influence monetary policy such as maintaining price stability and economic growth. The key instruments of monetary policy discussed are cash reserve ratio, statutory liquidity ratio, repo rate, and reverse repo rate. Fiscal policy objectives include increasing capital formation and achieving desirable levels of growth, prices, employment, and income distribution. The main instruments of fiscal policy are taxation (direct and indirect taxes) and government expenditure. The document also discusses inflation in India and reviews of monetary policy by experts.
