Food is the fundamental necessity of any living creature and CASA has been actively involved in providing immediate relief, specifically to the victims of natural and man-made hazards in our country. Contemplating about the climatic changes in the recent past would reveal regular features of late monsoons and long spells of summer and erratic rainfalls. Such irregularities in monsoon result in the outbreak of drought, which leads to scarcity of water worsening the agriculture food production, and finally adding woes to common populace. The worst affected population during these phases is the rural masses whose livelihood depends on agricultural activities. Among the rural masses, the most vulnerable are the economically backward communities of tribal, schedule castes, labour classes, who are small and marginal farmers, owning not more than 1-2 acres of land. Throughout its planning and implementation of the programme, CASA had given equal participation for the women from the targeted communities. Food for Community Development Programme (FFCD) is a result of CASA’s strong commitment to and amalgamation of both relief and development. FFCD serves as a very important mechanism in providing food security to the deprived communities, developing a sustainable coping mechanism and enhancing livelihood security in each household and community level. The 2nd year Food for Community Development Programme (FFCD) 2008 is presently being implemented in 10 States that includes Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala and in 26 districts among them. The programme activities are carried out in those areas where the livelihood conditions of the targeted communities are extremely poor and communities who are hit by recent acute drought, resulting in unemployment and large migration. Through CASA’s FFCD programme, apart from providing food security at the targeted household level, various livelihood community as well as individual assets is created by which the community enhances mechanisms to cope with any future drought situations, preventing large migrations. CASA, along with its partner organizations and Churches, are implementing the present programme with 2998815 kgs of Food Grain donated by MCC/CFGB. The food grains provided is being utilized to generate 99763 person-days of work. The activity details under the present MCC/CFGB FFCD Programme (Year2) is as follows:
