Project Planning and Development
 
In August 2000, project conceptualization began with stakeholder consultations with district, state, national and bilateral players. Consensus on the need for CHARCA was defined, and the approaches/guiding principles were developed. Because district ownership, participation, and implementation were identified as key to the project's success, a true “bottom-up” assessment of all six districts was undertaken. In district planning, there has been continuous stakeholder participation of government and NGOs at all stages of project design and development. District Situation Assessments (DSAs) leading to District Strategic Plans (DSPs) coordinated and managed by district stakeholders was a key feature of the planning phase.
 
In September 2001, Bellary became the first pilot district where district assessment and planning took place. Lessons were learned from the initial experience, and the other five districts underwent planning processes that were completed in December 2002. Within the UN system the Technical Resource Team (TRT), made up of focal points from each agency, supported project development and provided technical expertise from their respective agencies, throughout conceptualisation, development and design. Multi-sectoral stakeholder workshops representing government (district, state and national), NGOs, CBOs and the UN, were undertaken in preparation of the logical framework and project principles.
