Watershed development programme placed a central emphasis on capacity building of the stakeholders and their active participation particularly women on planning, implementation and post project maintenance with primary goal of livelihood security. A study conducted with192 watershed women from 24 watersheds in four blocks of Sundargarh and Keonjhar districts of Odisha revealed that the watershed women had a favourable opinion for the involvement of Project personnel working at field level. But their involvement had been restricted with programme implementation and fund utilization only. The District Advisory Committee and Project Implementation Agency have to sensitize the project personnel and watershed women for their active involvement in decision making process, developing own programme, discussion on post project activities, monitoring and evaluation of progress, decision on post project activities, record keeping, input arrangement and optimum use of created assets for sustainable livelihood and empowerment.
