•Improved health for the most disadvantaged people
•Improved access to and use of natural resources to benefit the most disadvantaged people
•Improved ability for the most disadvantaged people to exercise their human rights
•Improved livelihoods for the most disadvantaged people by enabling communities in need, both rural and urban, to reduce poverty in a sustainable way.
