Secondary beneficiaries will be selected civil society organizations and formal and informal leaders. The project anticipates directly benefiting 10 Civil Society Organizations and 40 leaders.

The first is a rights-based approach focusing on capacity building of individual women and Dalit leaders and civil society organizations to promote greater participation and stronger leadership in district development processes, to advocate for social justice and equity at district, regional and national levels. Secondly, the project will strengthen local civil society organizations to complement rights based programming with needs based outreach capacity to increase and diversity economic development strategies of the target groups in the selected eight-project area village Development Committees.
