Project Name:Enhanced CSOs' Capacity for Right-Based Livelihoods Program (RIB-LIP) - PPS (APAS)
Project Description:
The over all goal of the program is to improve the livelihoods of 18,600 poor and marginal households of Bajhang, Bajura and Syangja districts in an equitable manner by the end of 2010. Although the program is designed for five years, Partner Organizations (POs) will receive CARE's technical and financial support over the first three years only. Moreover, CARE will provide monitoring support after completion of three years. The program envisioned that there will be a significant improvement of institutional and programmatic capacity of the principal POs to further develop the capacity of networks and CBOs. These CSOs will enable to work effectively on the improvement of livelihoods of the poor and marginalized households in a continuous manner.

The program is designed to enhance the capacities of Civil Society Organizations within the Rights Based perspective to improve the livelihoods of target groups in three interrelated ways-, (a) enabling households to claim and utilize their rights (b) addressing the negative consequences of conflicts through social harmonization and improving social relations and (c) increasing opportunities for farm and non-farm based income generating opportunities. The strategies are designed to make target groups aware of their basic rights and empower them to claim and exercise these rights.
