Job Title: Gram Sabha Mobilisation, Social Audit, Social Accountability and PESA- Technical Officer
Location: Delhi
Organization’s profile:
The XII five Year Plan of the government highlights that one of the primary reasons regarding the relative lack of success of Plan programmes is that these are designed in a top down manner and do not effectively articulate the needs and aspirations of the local people, especially the most vulnerable. It recognizes that since 2004, there has been massive transfer of funds to the PRIs. However, institutionally, the PRIs remain weak and they do not have the capacity to plan or implement programmes effectively. In order to overcome the challenges, the Twelfth Plan has proposed about ten-fold increase in funding allocation for strengthening of PRIs through a new scheme called the Rajiv Gandhi Panchayat Sashaktikaran Abhiyan (RGPSA).
The Ministry of Panchayati Raj and UNDP project “Strengthening Capacities of Panchayati Raj Institutions” (2013-2017) aims at strengthening the implementation of RGPSA. It also focusses on providing institutional mechanism for strengthening the capacities for conducting effective gram sabhas, particularly in PESA areas.

Services of technical experts on key thematic areas identified by the Ministry of Panchayati Raj. A network of national resource institutions will provide advisory services and institutional development support to MoPR on themes identified.
