Were there any disagreements – discussions about the priorities? What was the role of the Triangle facilitator? |
Some of the villagers found that the Triangle donation could not fulfil all aspects of the wishes the villages had. However, the facilitator and Hari explained about the money and the supporting system from Triangle (getting to know how to influence VDC and DDC to get projects approved, and how to ask for better services). Specially ASK cooperate and fully focus on the settlement level planning process with the engagement of communities, give the information of the Triangle, and about the resources of the VDC block grant and the District Development Office possibilities of supporting the village. The villages have seen that the Triangle support to ASK and the villages, has given the villagers more tools for managing their own resources and influencing the those of the local bodies (VDC and DDC). |

Did the villagers have any comments/questions for the Triangle? | With lack of awareness, it was difficult to manage the money the right way the previous year, but after villagers participated in settlement level planning, they realized and fully agreed to the method and found it was realistic and participatory. There was a request that ASK should provide more technical knowledge for the settlement level planning and development possibilities in the village. Now the money for micro-loan is increasing so it has to provide the account management knowledge also. |
