Multiple and interrelated women's issues are best addressed through integrated approaches for creating better synergy. The project's approach of strengthening the capacities of the DWD (Department of Women Development) and WDOs (Women Development Offices), formation and capacity building of women's organizations, building women's knowledge about their rights, and targeted interventions to address women's practical needs, such as income generation, time-saving technologies, and women-friendly infrastructure, has given women better access to opportunities and services that responded to their needs not only for survival but also for better social mobility and empowerment. Access to microfinance and support through start-up grants were instrumental for women's economic empowerment.
