The project was initially planned for three years but was extended for an additional year due to the impacts of COVID-19 and the devastating Melamchi flood. Throughout its duration, the project has achieved significant success in multiple areas, providing substantial support to persons with disabilities and their communities. It has particularly excelled in local planning processes, empowering self-help groups (SHGs) to improve livelihoods and access rights from local government bodies. As a result, there has been better access to financial services, social security schemes, and ID cards. The project also supported climate-resilient livelihood opportunities by introducing improved technologies, farm management skills, and demand-based vocational training, thereby providing better socioeconomic opportunities.
