Development Approaches

Sudhurpaschim province constitutes NNSWA's core program areas. The districts of Sudhurpaschim province are characterized by poor developmental indicators, high levels of male migration to India, poor infrastructure, vast caste and gender disparity and extensive deforestation, providing NNSWA a rationale for its work there.

NNSWA' program activities are organized into 4 Program Sectors namely, (1) Education and Early Childhood Development (2) General Health and Reproductive Health/Disability and Health/Drinking Water and Sanitation (3) Community Development through social and Economic upliftment and (4) Natural Resource Management. The Advocacy and Organizational Development process are inbuilt with all sectors as crosscutting approaches. Each sector is sub-divided into Core Areas. Though NNSWA's programs have been so organized, these categories are not watertight and there is an overlap that reflects NNSWA's understanding of the multi-factorial causation of poverty, lack of access to information and resources, poor health, illiteracy, and advocacy disempowerment and marginalization. NNSWA's programs are almost entirely grant funded. These programs are either directly implemented by NNSWA or in partnership with local organizations. For the implementation of all programs with its working areas, NNSWA has adequate number of skilled and trained staff who has been providing quality service to the target community.
