The overall objective of our programme, “Inclusive Development of the Economy” is:

The framework conditions for balanced and socially fair economic growth are improved in selected programme districts.

Our anticipated results are:

• A decrease in unemployment and/or underemployment amongst different groups, particularly women, youth, ethnic minorities and/or lower castes, in the selected locations/regions.

• An increase in household income of disadvantaged families in the selected sectors of the selected locations/regions.

• Positive trends in new business opportunities and employment opportunities, availability of financial services for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), availability of other relevant services for MSMEs, and decrease of ‘red tape’ and other administrative obstacles for businesses as well as engagement of the private sector for social activities.
