Target SDGs were SDG 1-8, 10, 11 and 16.
The scaled up project will be conducted between 2020 and 2022, with a cross-SDG focus and special emphasis on SDGs 5, 10 and 16. Goal is to empower local civil society and socially excluded vulnerable (SEV) communities to achieve critical SDGs through evidence-based advocacy. The project will reach about 3000 people across 6 states (additional funding needed to increase scale).
