‘Listening to the Voices from the Field’

Mid Term Appraisal of the Eleventh Five Year Plan
‘Towards Faster and More Inclusive Growth’ is the central theme of the country’s Eleventh Five-Year Plan (2007-2012). With three years gone, it became pertinent to review the performance and make some evidence-based assessment of the impact made on the social sector. It is perhaps with this objective that the Planning Commission of India recently took the initiative to bring together the civil society organisations so as to ensue a realistic appraisal of the Eleventh Plan. UNFPA, UNIFEM and UNICEF supported the regional and state-level consultations across the country to capture “the voices from the fields”.

Voluntary Heath Association of India (VHAI) and National Alliance for Women (NAWO), each with a large network of organisations, were given this stupendous task of organising and conducting state and regional-level consultations across the country.
The state and regional level consultations were conducted in a tight time-frame of one month (20 August to 25 September 2009) across the country.

It comprised of one national-level briefing, organised by VHAI, 27 state-level consultations, 17 organised by the VHAI in the east, north-east and west and 10 by the NAWO, in the north and south regions, followed by five regional consultations, three organised by VHAI and two by NAWO.

The Report of the Mid Term Appraisal of the Eleventh Five Year Plan has been put together by VHAI and shared with the Planning Commission and other members involved.
