e with disabilities.  #4. The main objective and the expected results:#The main objective of the Rights Based Empowerment Project is to contribute to the alleviation of poverty and the promotion of peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable developme

stainable and diversified means of livelihood, primary health care and WASH facilities, while children will access schools with improved learning environments. The project will enhance the local communities ability to claim their rights, encourage their di
rect participation in the decision-making processes and promote dialogue between the rights holders and duty bearers at all levels. At the end of the project, the right holders will play a more active role in household and village development. #5. Right-ho
