Written by Abid Ghafoor Chaudhry

Recommendations

Following recommendations are put forward which would be more beneficial for the project and its progress:

a. The respondents still feel shaky when they are told that after sometime they will have to run their organization by themselves. Whereas they are not still sure whether they would be able enough to do it or not, so proper training in this respect is needed to be imparted to the members of organizations, so that the progress of the project should be sustainable.

b. The male organizations should be made more operational because it is felt that when the males are involved in the project, they do not feel hesitant about the female participation.

c. The officials of the project should also emphasize on the importance of education and health aspects of the females, because with more education and improved health status, the females can contribute a lot in the betterment of domestic economy and welfare of their children.

d. Social mobilization should also be from the community, so that the mobilization should continue even after the cessation of formal contacts of officials from the project scheme.
