Scope of the Services
Project Introduction
The project aims to ensure that marginalized communities and local civil society can hold government systems accountable to their collective needs and gain access to improved public services and basic rights through volunteering for development interventions. It seeks to equip civil society groups representing marginalized populations with the skills and confidence to organize and advocate for their fundamental rights, while also ensuring that duty bearers and service providers demonstrate greater accountability to both communities and local CSOs.
