 Overview on Local Civil Society Partnership Program (LCPP)

<Definition of Marginalized Groups> ㅇInternational society uses this term to refer to any group that is discriminated against at multiple levels for a combination of reasons that include, but are not limited to, their gender, physical and intellectual capability, age, region and ethnicity. Typical examples include women with disabilities and elderly people from ethnic minorities. ㅇLCPP classifies the projects that provide benefits to women, people with disabilities, the elderly, ethnic minorities and street children (i.e. those that fit into the definition above) into a separate theme called “Support marginalized groups to become more socially and economically independent .”
