Thrust Areas and Initiatives |
Approach
Utthan's approach has been that of organizing vulnerable
communities, help them identify their issues through a
people centered situational analysis, identifying alternatives,
help in demonstrating various socio, political economical
and ecological viable alternatives and help in up scaling
learning for a wider change and impact.
Strategies
Utthan's main strategies are, selection of geographical
areas of intervention, selection of the members, institutional
building and strengthening at various levels, large scale
mobilization through awareness, action research, information
exchange and dissemination, capacity building, networking
and policy advocacy. Utthan has emerged as a strong, committed
gender sensitive processes oriented team and it views
itself as facilitator of a strong and growing social movement
in Gujarat, building grassroots level organizations, lobbying
for just policies on critical development issues and working
trough partnerships and networks.
There are three major thrust areas and activities:
Gender and
Empowerment
Conflict
Transformation, justice and Peace Processes
Livelihood
Security through Integrated Natural Resource Management
and Disaster Preparedness
Each intervention is based on the local environment and
its needs, which is consciously designed to mobilize community
participation and ownership. The overarching perspectives
which guides the process of facilitation is that of gender
equality and human rights that enables the most vulnerable
to live with dignity, without fear and with equal opportunities
to change their status |
