Partnering with Mission Convergence an Innovative Governance Reform Programme in Delhi, strengthening and expanding women-led empowerment strategies

2012 - 2015 • Centre for Advocacy and Research (CFAR)

Purpose

To improve the access of marginal and at risk communities, living in unauthorized and under-served settlements, to sanitation services through constructive engagement with government spearheaded by Women’s Forums in Delhi, Jaipur and Kolkata.

Activities

The focus of the project has been to improve the access of marginal and at risk communities, living in unauthorized and under-served settlements, to sanitation services through constructive engagement with government spearheaded by Women’s Forums in Delhi, Jaipur and Kolkata.

Towards this end we are working at multiple levels to crystallize the demands of the community and using programmatic spaces and opportunities to partner with the government bodies to advance the twin objectives of impacting behaviour change, and strengthening convergence of services for the poor and in particular for women and girls. We have used multiple strategies: Capacity building to advocacy with decision and policy makers to implementing demonstrative, innovative and collaborative processes on the ground.

We have succeeded in catalyzing some modicum of behaviour change, and mainstreamed the Women’s Forums, thus ensuring participatory processes and women’s forum inputs into many critical processes.
