1. Leadership
Under the FFVDP (Family Focused Village Development Programme) project, leadership development is a key area of focus aimed at empowering tribal communities in adopted villages. In these interior villages, the project emphasizes building strong local leadership, fostering family unity, and enhancing community cohesion.
Through structured trainings, Regular CBOs meetings, Inter VDC and FDG meetings, VDC exposures, Community Mela, Cultural Activities, Counsellings, awareness programs, and participatory decision-making processes, community members—especially youth and women—are encouraged to take on leadership roles.
