Raising awareness, Taking action

In some rural areas, people are not aware of their rights under the Forest Rights Act and equivalent legislation.

Furthermore, it is challenging to navigate legacy bureaucracies, particularly during times of coronavirus precautions.

Supporting Applications

The CHiRP team has added questions to verify qualification in real time, to support community mobilizers to engage and advise potential candidates.

This helps support officers to aid individual households and communities in submitting and managing applications for government grant and subsidy schemes.

The design provides an all-in-one interface where missing information can be collected with any smartphone, that is anonymously used for applications.

As news of the grants status is received, the same interface is updated to show community members the amounts received as well as records of their use. This helps recordkeeping and informs participation.
