This project covered 23 townships implemented during 2003-2005. The main objectives of the development project in the study area were to alleviate the poverty and improve their livelihood and empower women through social mobilization process. The purpose of the study was to assess the impact of the social mobilization programme of a community development project and to make recommendations for further improvement. The study tried to review self-reliance groups in performing project interventions in terms of organizational development (group formation process, vision and mission, meetings, rules and regulations, sanctions, participations, social cohesion), leadership development and resource management of the groups. The study analyzes the contribution of the project interventions in different areas like economic, social and institutional impact on the group members. This study scrutinizes the social impacts of the groups, the impacts on accessibility to institutional services, access to health and education facilities. It also discussed the major activities of self-reliance groups such as women empowerment, health education and participation in decision-making role, effectiveness of training in the study area and environmental impacts in terms of mangrove forest degradation, which were relevant to poverty alleviation in this study. The research conducted was in two villages in Ayeyarwady Delta Zone. The main data collection methods were a household survey, key informants interview with project beneficiaries and key staffs of the project. Most of the findings supported are on focus group discussions with members of SRGs and participant observations during field visit. Quantitative and qualitative techniques are applied in data analysis of this research. The research findings showed that the economic condition of the household members has not improved remarkably when judged against the indicators on increasing income earning opportunities, increased in household income expenditure, saving. The positive changes to their living conditions were found to be in terms of changing food availability and access to institutional and social services. Increased awareness on basic literacy, keeping basic and simple accounting for example, are build up for self-esteem and confidence of the SRGs members. There was no significant improvement on health status of the SRG members. Improvement was found in the area of access to credit, relief from indebtedness, participation in decision-making. Recommendations were suggested for further improvement of the poverty alleviation program including enhancing income generation opportunities, creation of employment opportunities, providing capital, marketable and useful skill development, promotion of extension services, intensifying input supply on agriculture and livestock to enhance greater impacts to women members, landless and the poor.
