Poverty reduction and food security, promoting social inclusion of particularly marginalised groups and increasing resilience to disasrers in high-risk areas

This project called – “Global program” India is a community-led partnership model hosted by Caritas India with the support of Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), Government of Germany and Caritas Germany. By focusing on four development themes at a large: Resilience to natural calamities, enhanced Nutritional and Food Security, Social Inclusion and strengthening civil society learning, the programme aims at improving the life situation of the particularly marginalized population of eighteen identified districts in four Indian States of Assam, Bihar, Odisha and West Bengal

The program is multi-level and the main beneficiaries of the program are traditionally marginalized groups, officially defined by the Indian authorities as “Scheduled Castes” (SCs) and “Scheduled Tribes” (STs), which live in the rural are-as of selected districts.

The global program will be implemented with and through local partners, with Caritas India as the coordinating body. In each of the states, the program builds on the coordination mechanisms of the regional forums that have been in place for decades.
