This project aims to strengthen the capacity of Alternative for Rural Movement (ARM) to address systemic challenges in rural India through improved community engagement and enhanced organisational skills in project management and monitoring. ARM’s team will be trained by local experts and apply new skills through the formation of 60 child rights groups. These groups will empower 1800 children to engage in child-led advocacy and peer support. The project includes workshops, pilot testing, and feedback loops to ensure practical learning and adaptation. It will directly benefit ARM’s staff and organisation while also empowering rural communities in Odisha to advance child rights and foster inclusive development. By strengthening ARM and engaging children and parents, the project lays the groundwork for scalable, sustainable impact and stronger civil society participation.
