The document titled Strengthening Families in India: Framework and Guidance has been jointly developed by IACN and CTWWC. It is an effort to consolidate existing knowledge, interventions, and promising practices championed by governments and civil society organizations across the country. At the heart of this document lies the need to increase accessibility to social protection schemes, empower communities through local governance institutions like Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), and ensure meaningful convergence across sectors.
