Good Governance
The Project PRI’s Good Governance and Social Justice was broadly covering, capacity building of the youths and women through appropriate orientation programmes and hand holding supports with IEC materials, simple hand books for enhancing understanding of youths and women to identify the local issues and find out appropriate plans to address the same. Reduction of social and gender in-equalities, establishment of legal rights and socio-economic empowerment, creation of opportunities for the target community towards enterprise development to improve their livelihoods, development of true leadership qualities and their actions against violence to combat extremism as these were the burning issues which need to be addressed. Local forums of the youths and women need to be established and strengthened through this initiative for proper dialogue with the government as a pressure group.
