Abstract

This video was prepared by Travelling Tripod in collaboration with the International Food Policy Research Institute to inspire rural women in Odisha State, India to publicly share with leaders their ideas for assets that might be constructed under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee (MGNREGA) program. The MGNREGA Act envisions a participatory, bottom-up process of choosing which asset will be built by allowing MGNREGA job card holders to recommend assets that would be useful to them at community meetings. Increasing women’s participation in the program is an important development goal for IFPRI and their partners in Odisha.

The original version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2hv4BnZZlM) of the video is 16 minutes long. The video was also published as a shortened 6-minute version: https://youtu.be/jXR8PB1cYVc and in Odia: https://youtu.be/TXGSBNCB8qE
