GOVERNMENT SUPPORTED MOVEMENT

IT’S A FOREIGN AID DEPENDENT PROGRAMME

NO POLITICAL INTERFERENCE IN SELECTION OF VILLAGES

POLITICAL INTERFERENCE IN SELECTION OF PROJECT AREAS

PERFORMANCE-BASED GOVERNMENT SUPPORT

NOT STRICTLY PERFORMANCE BASED

GOVERNMENT INTENTION WAS TO MAKE PEOPLE SELF – RELIANT THROUGH THIS MOVEMENT

GOVERNMENT’S INTENTION IS TO OBTAIN POLITICAL ADVANTAGE BY THIS PROJECT

SAEMAUL MOVEMENT GEMIDIRIYA

.

SAEMAUL VS GEMIDIRIYA

SAEMAUL COVERED ALL VILLAGES ACROSS THE COUNTRY

DUE TO CIVIL WAR THE PROJECT COVERED ONLY SELECTED AREA’S OF THE COUNTRY.

PEOPLE’S ATTITUDE CHANGED TOWARDS SELF-RELIANCE

PEOPLE BECOME DEPENDENT ON SUPPORT FROM GOVERNMENT AND NGO’S.

SAEMAUL FOCUSED ON RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT

IT MAINLY COVERS LIVELIHOOD DEVELOPMENT AND RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT.

CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL PROVIDED BY GOVERNMENT

GOVERNMENT PROVIDED FINANCIAL SUPPORT

VILLAGE COMMUNITIES ARE NOT ANY LEAGAL BODY, ONLY VOLUNTRAY ORGANIZATION.

VILLEGE LEVEL ORGANIZATION IS A COMPANY REGISTERED UNDER COMPANIES ACT.

RECOMMENDATIONS

FROM THE EXPERIENCE OF SAEMAUL MOVEMENT, THE FOLLOWING

RECOMMENDATIONS ARE MADE FOR MAKING GEMIDIRIYA A

SUSTAINABLE PROJECT:

STRONG POLITICAL LEADERSHIP WITH HONEST INTENTION IS

ESSENTIAL.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT SHOULD BE FREE FROM

POLITICAL INTERFERENCE.

THE PROGRAMME SHOULD BE PERFORMANCE BASED SO THAT

ONLY GOOD PERFORMING VILLAGES GET GOVERNMENT

SUPPORT. THIS WILL TURN THE VILLAGERS SELF RELIANT.
