ECCA Programme on Access
The partner organisations represent the target groups of elderly, vulnerable youth and settlers. The problem that all face, partners agreed, is that socially vulnerable groups do not have equitable access to education, health and housing services.
The aim of developing this programme is to make the individual projects of each partner contribute to a common strategy of enhancing access for these target groups.
Mobilisation and empowerment
Important elements of that joint strategy are to challenge inadequate legal frameworks and budgetary allocations and to enhance local government capacity; to mobilise and empower the target groups and to network for more strategic advocacy.
Partners came from both Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan while Tajik perspectives were represented by the ECCA officer Taminah Khakimova. DanChurchAid led the workshop with inputs from policy officer Carol Rask and the Russia based colleagues Tatiana Kotova and Maria N. Gostichtcheva.
DanChurchAid will also take the process forward and develop a programme document on the basis of the workshop to be shared later this year with all partners and ECCA agencies.
