UNDP project empowering women in rural areas

KARACHI - The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in collaboration with the Engro Foods Limited initiated Community Empowerment through Livestock and Credit (CELDAC) programme.

An announcement on Thursday said that the project has been designed in order to provide opportunities for self-employment and income generation among the rural women as well as help them in maintaining the health of the livestock.
