Project activities are carried out through community mobilisation approach. Participating communities form groups in each hamlet or settlements and these groups eventually transform into Community Organisations. These groups and/or organisations mobilise their resources by organising group meetings and generating savings and labour on weekly basis. They collaborate with SGP's seed grant fund and local governments in carrying out local initiatives on productive physical infrastructures. They plan, execute and monitor the activities themselves with the technical support from the grantee NGO. 619 community members have joined together to form 23 CBOs. These CBOs have prepared their own CBO plan to carry out sustainble livelihood activities. The project is sucessful in moblisting communities in achieving environmental stewardship. The community has imposed their own rule in conserving the forest. They put ban on grazing inside the forest and poaching is completly stopped. High level of participation is seen in plantation and other communtiy initiated activities such as road maintenance, village draining canal sanitation. The community is also involved in running two nurseries which have produced more than 27604 seedlings. Likewise, they have also planted 28821 seedlings of various species in both private and community land. With the project's slogan "One house- one ICS", 256 ICSs have been constructed.

Participating community members can easily get this facility as a loan on the basis of social collateral through their respective Community-based Organisations (CBOs). The CETF is mobilised exclusively for small-scale green enterprises or livelihood activities. Upto now more than US$ 15,200 has been mobilised benefitin 80 CBO members.
