PREFACE
The Central Tibetan Administration of His Holiness the Dalai Lama,
with its various Departments and special units, has been looking
after the welfare of the Tibetan Refugee Community for the last
thirty five years. Its activities have been largely supported
financially by the Government of India, non-governmental organizations,
and by voluntary contributions from the Community. While the support
has been extremely useful for the Tibetan Refugee Community, it
has so far largely been based on a project by project approach,
causing uncertainty and leaving many priorities unaddressed. It
was therefore felt necessary to formulate a comprehensive plan
based on the diverse needs of the Tibetan Refugee Community and
to set priorities among those needs, across sectors, years, locations
and groups.
The Integrated Development Plan has been drawn up in accordance
with the needs and aspiration of the Tibetan Community in exile.
It aims not only at the preservation and enhancement of Tibetan
religion, culture, language and national identity, but also the
overall socio-economic development of the Tibetan Refugee Community.
It also has implications for the cherished goal of our eventual
return to a free Tibet.
Since the first Integrated Development Plan, the CTA's focus has
been on sector and program funding in order to achieve self-sufficiency
and sustainable development. As a result, the participation and
cooperation of bi-lateral agencies has been increased.
This second iteration of the Integrated Development Plan covering
the period 1995-2000 A.D., is the result of comprehensive exercises,
spearheaded and coordinated by the Planning Council, in
which all the Departments, special units and Settlements and scattered
communities participated. This second revised Plan document gives
a detailed overview of the Community's priorities and lays out
a series of programs and projects to address them. The Plan comprises
a total of seven sectors, spanning 40 programs, made up of 186
projects, with a total budgeted outlay of over Rs 1,096.8 million
(US $ 35.12 million). The Plan will help the Central Tibetan Administration
in implementing, monitoring and evaluating its rehabilitation
and socio-economic development programs more effectively and systematically.
It is hoped that this document will also prove useful to the numerous
supporters of the Tibetan Refugee Community worldwide and join
the Tibetan Refugee Community in achieving self-sufficiency in
its development endeavors.
