Strengthening Democracy and Governance
• Rationale: The promise of constitutional democracy is strengthened by the inclusion of marginalised voices into governance processes, encouraging accountability and the realisation of constitutional values.
• Goal: To build an active and informed citizenry that effectively participates in governance and holds institutions accountable to constitutional values.
• Core Strategies: Conducting constitutional literacy programs; supporting democratic participation in local governance (e.g., Gram Sabhas); facilitating citizen-led accountability mechanisms; engaging in citizen-led discussions.
• Expected Outcomes: Increased awareness of schemes and entitlements; more responsive and transparent local governance; stronger citizen-led implementation of public services; enhanced participation of marginalised groups in decision-making.
