IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

 
 

 

The implementation of GRAP would not involve major relocation of government personnel and resources at the very outset. If implemented with spirit and zeal, the reform package would usher in incremental, but perceptible, change in the working and budgetary allocations of government departments. While implementing the project, the concerned district governments/ departments would be sensitized to own the initiatives and sustain the activities after completion of gestation period. In this connection interactive dialogues will be held continuously involving all the stake holders with the active support of print and electronic media.  

 For effective tracking, in case of each reform action initiated by the government, responsibility centers and indicators are given. The proposed interventions for Women Political Participation, Institutional Restructuring, Women’s Employment in the Public Sector, and Fiscal and Policy Reforms, include provision of physical infrastructure, equipment, streamlining systems and procedures, improving information and communication channels and mechanisms, supporting training and development etc.Details are as follows:
