10. EXPECTED OUTCOMES
Increase the livelihood of the artisans in select
targeted areas:
Hygiene
Health
Financial stability
Legal issues
Empowerment
Spread awareness about BRAC
Artisans more dedicated at the workplace
11. CHALLENGES I
Coordination
Working with 8 Management Teams (6 BRAC
Programs, AAF, Aarong)
Proper delegation of responsibility
Scheduling according to our suggested times
Data management
No dedicated budget (coverage/capacity limitation)
12. CHALLENGES II
Achieving program objectives
Retention of information and information loss
Lack of incentives
Artisans joining VOs
13. LEARNINGS
Fixed schedules are
important, but
there still has to be enough
flexibility
Without dedicated
budget, the process is
slowed down and creates a
rigid framework
Data should be integrated
centrally for all programs
and generate customized
reports
Prevent illness by health awarenessProvide tube wells and latrines for ultra poorProvide ANC, PNC and ChildcareIncrease number of artisans with role in the communityIncrease number of artisans who have held a leadership positionIncrease income, savings and assetsProvide legal aid referralsDecrease the medical expenses
