Training manuals

1. Ahankari AS. Contribution in the capacity of lead investigator and project manager on DEVELOP 2 GCRF grant. Three gender equality training manuals were developed comprising of 650 pages in Marathi language (Maharashtra state of India); (a) for boys and men, (b) girls and women, and (c) project staff to implement gender equality related work. Five videos were developed to educate communities on the importance of gender equality. These are currently used by four NGOs to implement gender equality projects across 100 villages in India (funded by SWISSAID, Switzerland through European Union Grant).
