(i) benefit populations out of reach of mainstream services and resources and excluded from policy making processes;
(ii) Strengthen the capacity of civil society organisations in the Republic of Mauritius (i.e island of Mauritius and/or its Outer islands i.e. Rodrigues, Agalega and St Brandon) with a view to facilitating their participation in defining and implementing poverty reduction and sustainable development strategies.
