Strategic Planning:
As a next step, a strategic planning workshop was conducted for the RTF program staff. Having reviewed the local situation and realities of the target areas, a set of strategies were chalked out for the effective implementation of the programs. The strategies included the following:

• Information dissemination on the selected schemes so as to generate awareness among all the stakeholders and vey specifically the beneficiary population.

• Interface with line departments who are responsible for the implementation of the schemes in order to pressurize the officials to give up their lethargy and sluggishness in the implementation;

• Capacity building measures for the community as well as the program staff; and

• Creating appropriate mechanisms to monitor the progress and to sustain the results already achieved through the RTF implementation.
