Resume

The long-term objective of the partnership between DIB and CN is to reduce poverty among poor and marginalised families in rural areas by enhancing their capacity and capability to create more sustainable livelihood and local sustainable development. In this short-term intervention the objectives are: 1) Women and marginalised groups are responsible for marketing, branding and promotion of the cooperatives' organic products, and 2) CN has strengthened its capacity to work with women and marginalised groups. The primary target group consists of poor and marginalised people from the three communities Phallapani, Lewade and Gunjara - in total 102 households. The intervention focuses on increasing the participation of women and the most marginalised groups in livelihood activities by addressing social inequalities and power relations through social forum theatre, Alternative to Violence Project methods and gender sensitivity training.
