Azad Foundation, in partnership with The Asia South Pacific Association for Basic and Adult Education (ASPBAE), has undertaken the India Country Study on Financing Options for Skills for Work of Marginalised Women as part of a multi-country research. Within the ambit of the broad framework set out by ASPBAE for the regional and country level research, the India Study strings together issues of education/literacy and skills development, gender equality and decent work. The India Study also highlights, defines and identifies non-traditional livelihoods (NTL) for women by looking into ongoing initiatives in NTL for women in the country, underscoring sectors/industries where women may be (newly) skilled and productively engaged.

The research output will support ongoing work by Azad Foundation and its advocacy efforts for relevant policies, budgets, and infrastructures to be made available by the government, the private sector, philanthropies, and funding agencies towards women’s adult literacy and skills development, especially in areas of engagement not traditionally open to women.
