The Balochistan Rural Development and Community Empowerment (BRACE) is a six-year (2017-2023) European Union (EU) funded Programme and is being implemented by BRSP in nine districts; Zhob, Loralai, Duki, Pishin, Killa Abdullah, Chaman, Washuk, Khuzdar and Jhal Magsi in collaboration with the technical assistance partner DAI and Government of Balochistan. The programme aims at mobilising and capacitating the rural communities for reinforced resilience, accessibility to basic services, improved livelihoods, economic growth, capacity enhancement of local authorities/governments to partner with communities for effective and efficient service delivery, and to assist the development of a strategic policy framework for institutionalisation of these approaches. This initiative has been designed to pave the way for a future Sector-Wide Approach (SWAP) for supporting rural development through community-led development, and providing a platform to GoB and its development partners for evolving a contextualised and harmonised approach to community-led development and local governance.
