Journey from Community Based Organization
(CBO) to an Urban Resource Centre (URC)
Sakhi Mahila Mandal is working in the Vasna
ward since last 13 years. The CBO members have also been very active in
implementing all the programmes. They have an experience of implementing
different projects and programmes in Health, Education, Livelihood and
Micro finance. Their capacities are built up to the mark and can now
independently manage any such project. Therefore the institutional
development of the Community Based Organisation will be the key role
during the programme implementation.
The URC presently works in four wards of
Ahmedabad through the CBOs which are Sakhi Mahila Mandal in Vasna, Ekta Yuvak Mandal in Behrampura, Sankalp
Mitra Mandal in Juhapura and Ahmedabad Slum Dwellers Federation (ASDF)
in Shahpur.
