Introduction

The District Capacity Building Centres (DCBCs) are strengthening the efforts of the Watershed movement in five districts of the State.  8 - 10 DCBC members are based in each APRLP district and report to the Project Director, District Water Management Agency (PD, DWMA).

As the name suggests, the principal role of these centres is the co-ordination of capacity building at the district-level.  The DCBCs are also expected to play an important role in developing a clear policy and action plan for the livelihoods efforts in the watershed villages.  DCBC members will coordinate the following work:

• Establishing the management structure of the District Capacity Building Centres as a part of the district unit and for which the chairperson is the District Collector and the convener is the Project Director, DWMA. 

• The DCBC and Training and Technology Development Centre (TTDCs) form two critical wings of the training strategy of the district.  While the DCBC focus on the planning and implementation of watersheds and livelihoods; the TTDCs play a critical role in consolidating the SHG movement as well as the micro-enterprise and marketing strategy;
