  1. CARE SRI LANKA PLANTATION PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT PROCESS NOVEMBER 2010

  2. WHY PLANTATION PROGRAM? • CARE was rapidly changing due to the changes of global development thinking • CARE Sri Lanka become one of the seventh learning labs • Changes of public and government perception towards INGOs • Critiques of NGO activities and their effectiveness

  3. WE TRIED TO ANSWER BELOW QUESTION • “What keeps the estate population poor and marginalized? What factors underlie or explain the poverty, marginalization and exclusion of the population?” • What are the changes that we need to make in the lives of plantation community? • What did we achieve? • What are the failures? • Are we cost effective? • Can we make this change alone? • Do we need to change our approach? • CARE Sri Lanka decided to develop plantation as a first program

  4. BACKGROUND TO THE PLANTATION COMMUNITY • 1 million population who are the poorest of the poor – National poverty is 22% , 32% in the plantations ( Low wages , lack of alternative livelihood opportunities, poor savings ) • Violation of basic human rights ,discrimination and exclusion from the mainstream • Poor infrastructure facilities. • Continuation of over hundred year old exploitative management system and yet captive labor force • Widening Employer –Employee relationships gap and resultant mistrust ,conflicts and unhealthy living environment for the resident population • Low level of attainment in education resulting in unemployment in a competitive job market • Political exploitation and victimization • Poor availability of state and non state services in comparison with rest of the population • Plethora of social problems – Alcoholism, indebtedness, GBV, youth unrest, hopelessness, poor community cohesion and poor bargaining power

  5. STEPS ADOPTED TO DEVELOP PLANTATION PROGRAM

  6. Reflecting on programming to date and noting the difference from a program approach • Time line exercise to reflect CAREs plantation work from 1956 and its dollar contribution • Reflect plantation project contributions for plantation social changes • Review current project work with 8 program characteristics • Identifying underlying causes of poverty and social injustice for the candidate impact group • Deciding impact population based on inclusion, exclusion criteria and their uniqueness identified by the participants • Conduct “drivers & Outcome” exercise

  7. Plantation timeline

  8. Agreeing the external assumptions and risks for future programming on this vulnerable group • Identify trends, opportunities, constraints and risks projected over the next 15 years • Refine and articulate critical risk and assumptions for following areas • The tea industry • Ethical trade practices (ETP), corporate social responsibility (CSR), and global markets • Roles, responsibilities, and initiatives of other actors and allies • The development industry, funding and donor environment • The socio-political environment • CARE’s work to date in the sector (and how it will change in the future) • Deciding the impact group and its description; and the vision • Impact group: the population group upon which the program (CARE and its partners) aims to have a positive impact • Target group (proposed): a group of people who are deliberately engaged in the program as a means for CARE and its partners to achieve impact on the intended impact group • Agree on long term program vision • Further rationalizing impact group with available statistics and other empirical data

  9. Constructing a theory of change to address the underlying causes of this impact group • Identify domains of change based on UCP and other analysis • Identify major milestone for each domain • Identify the causes and effects of these major milestones • Identify breakthroughs for next 15 years • Further review and refine above domains, milestones, breakthroughs with the support of CEPA • Program dissemination and Implementation • Intensive dissemination process • Building common understanding among staff and stakeholders • Retrofit current work with long term program goal • Define Program impact measurement and knowledge management system • Program is in a process of developing its Impact measurement and Knowledge management system
