Arunoday sansthan sector programmers centre around women smallholders, business-women, employees and home workers belonging to poor and marginalized communities, with the objective of empowering them with knowledge and enhanced access to inputs, services, technologies and opportunities. We facilitate the building of an enabling and gender-trans-formative environment for conducting economic activities by engaging men and other influential actors, both private and public, who are involved in market value chains and entitlement delivery. Helping women from marginalized communities to earn their livelihoods using a variety of non-agricultural avenues is one of the core mandates of mjss livelihood sector programmed. We focus on improving access and control of women from marginalized communities over productive resources, services and opportunities; enhancing their food and nutrition security; and improving their abilities in climate change resilience.
