Government of India, Invitee The Consultants and Staff of the Project Management Office (PMO) of the SPACC project were invited to participate in the meeting and respond to the queries of honorable members of the PSC on technical matters related to the project. The Chief Executives of the eight Partner Non Governmental Organizations were also present in the meeting, as observers. The meeting started with welcoming the members of the PSC by Shri V. Paul Raja Rao, Convener. Dr. D. V. Raidu, the Chairman of the PSC, made the opening remarks and invited Dr. S.V. Govardhan Das the Secretary and the Project Manager to present the Action Taken Report (enclosed) on the recommendations of members in the first PSC. Then, he made a power point presentation on the project progress, per October 31, 2011 (enclosed). The members of PSC made the following recommendations: 1. The project should regularly communicate with ICFRE to share and disseminate best practices

through ICFRE’s website.

2. The Assessment of ‘Current Climate Variability in AP’ should consider the last ten years data for analysis.

3. The Project’s core team should visit Self Help Groups (SHGs) of Society for Elimination of Rural Poverty (SERP) to learn more about strategies to improve participation of vulnerable groups and women.

4. Literature review should also include the Government of India’s efforts on farmers’ participatory research.

5. The Project should seek R&D inputs from Central Groundwater Department’s (CGWD) pilot project to study sub‐surface aquifer mapping.

6. The Project should continue the APFAMGS legacy and further refine groundwater budgets and estimation of groundwater.

7. A strategy paper on pilots should be written to provide guidelines for testing of viable technologies. Pilots should also focus on testing technologies to measure parameters of soil moisture deficit, markets and mechanization.

8. Website development is a slow process. The initial site could be basic and contents could be built as new products emerge along the way. The project should pay attention to feedback for developing a valid and useful dissemination tool.

9. The Project should explore linkages for synergy with Integrated Watershed Management Projects (IWMP) and Indira Jala Prabha (IJP) in the districts, where it is working. The Department of Land Resources would be interested in utilizing the expertise available with the Project, such as Participatory Hydrological Monitoring (PHM). Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) would also be interested in learning from the project experience in the drafting the new groundwater bill that may replace APWALTA.

10. The Project Team should visit Andhra Pradesh Drought Adaptation Initiative (APDAI) pilot villages implemented in Anantapur and Mahabubnagar districts.

3

11. The National Project Coordinator, FAOIN, referred to the international CBA conference that present and scale up the CBA practices to the global audiences, practitioners and policy makers. In Bangladesh, a large number of CBA programmes, projects and research are being implementing and some of which get enough credentials to implement other parts of the country. Action Research for Community Adaptation in Bangladesh (ARCAB) is organizing CBA conference in Bangladesh and the project management team should consider organizing an exposure visit in 2012 if they find it relevant for the purpose.

12. Local adaptation options should be evaluated when Climate Field Schools (CFS) curriculum is being developed.

13. CBOs should showcase the initial CFS learning through a farmers’ adaptation forum as part of the Crop Water Budgeting workshop organized towards the end of 2012. BIRDS should consolidate this learning at the project level.

14. Adaptation Options to climate variability should include: multiple livelihood options to build communities resilience to climate variability/change; animal husbandry; fisheries/poultry; drinking water and sanitation; agro‐forestry; and income.

15. The farmer climate monitoring should include the parameters: sunshine hours, wind velocity and wind direction.

Dr. S. V. Govardhan Das, in response, assured the members that the project team would act on each of the recommendations and report in the third PSC meeting. Shri. Mohan Kanda IAS, Former Chief Secretary, GoAP, was kind enough to grace the occasion with his presence, as a Special Invitee. After releasing the project brochure, he addressed the gathering. In his address, he drew attention of the members to the fact that more than half of the billion poor people in the world reside in South Asia and half of those live in India. He underscored the importance of equity and justice for growth. He commended BIRDS and its network for their commitment to build the adaptive capacity of rural communities to cope with the challenge of climate change. He concluded his address with a promise to extend all possible support to the project, in his capacity.

In the closing remarks, the Chairman, Dr. D. V. Raidu observed that the time is apt now for field level action and he would remain interested to extend all possible support to the Project. The meeting ended at 1.00 PM, after the Vote of Thanks, proposed by Dr. S. V. Govardhan Das, the Secretary.
