The grant activities supported an economic inclusion pilot (FORSA). The team conducted a series of diagnostic activities including a stocktaking exercise, a profiling analysis, and a market assessment, which informed the design of the pilot. The team also developed a Partnership Strategy document to guide stakeholder engagement and a Business Process Review to document the pilot’s processes for the development of a future Management Information Systems (MIS) module. PEI also supported the Government in developing a behavioral change training module. Finally, outcomes from a baseline survey will inform the scale-up of economic inclusion activities after grant completion.
