- description:
- Working with vulnerable segments of society required more time for social mobilization and capacity-building and continuous efforts to engage with key stakeholders and influencers (i.e., brick owners, community elders etc.). Training is only one aspect of capacity building, the other aspects being the development of systems, mentoring and determination of follow-up actions to get desired results, e.g., providing a short duration of training for DVCs was not sufficient and required more engagement with the government in this regard. Similarly, the expansion and effective implementation of social protection systems require finances, infrastructure, political will and law enforcement. Continuous policy advocacy with federal and provincial governments is important to take the agenda forward. Thus, the key lesson for the future is to build in sufficient time for social mobilization and capacity-building a critical mass of related activities to ensure sustainable impact.
