The C-BLD project has three primary objectives: (1) to improve the livelihood capabilities of women and youth; (2) to strengthen the capacity of organizations to provide economic strengthening (ES), livelihoods and social support services to women and children; and (3) to create a positive enabling environment for women and children and protect their rights. The projects approach includes direct implementation of activities with beneficiaries and technical assistance (TA) to organizations to enhance their capacity to deliver effective services and support each other. The projects approach will emphasize partnerships, linkages and referral networks to maximize impact and improve the access of vulnerable households to relevant services. C-BLD will collaborate with GOKS and other partners at the national level to develop and support strategies promoting a stronger enabling environment for women and children. C-BLD will also provide TA to PEPFAR partners and others in designing, implementing and monitoring ES, gender and OVC programming. At the community level, C-BLD will collaborate with community members and institutions to develop an integrated approach, combining direct implementation, TA and advocacy to deliver against project objectives. The project will also collaborate with community structures to implement a referral system linking clients and beneficiaries to multiple services. C-BLD intends to contribute to the knowledge base within Swaziland. Through rigorous monitoring and evaluation and case studies, C-BLD aims to develop evidence-based approaches that can be scaled up across the country. Where possible, C-BLD will integrate its own project strategy with existing national strategies, including those developed by NERCHA, NCCU and UNICEF.
