The objective of the Second Madhya Pradesh District Poverty Initiatives Project (MP-DPIP II) for India is to improve the capacity and opportunities for the targeted rural poor to achieve sustainable livelihoods. There are four components to the project, the first component being social empowerment and institution building. The objective of this component is to empower the poor by helping to organize themselves into Self-Help Groups (SHG) and federate into higher levels of institutions such as Village Development Committee (VDC), cluster-level organizations, and producer collectives. The second component is the livelihoods investment support. The objective of this component is to develop the capacity of SHG to start livelihood initiatives, and to strengthen their business operations through producer based federations. Mechanisms to identify and support innovative approaches to help the rural poor to organize themselves around livelihood based businesses will also be supported in this component. The third component is the employment promotion support. The objective of this component is to enable the project beneficiaries to capture new employment opportunities arising out of the overall growth of the Indian economy through the establishment of a structured mechanism for skill development and job creation. Finally, the fourth component is the project implementation support. The component will facilitate various governance, implementation, coordination, learning, and quality enhancement efforts in the project.
