The Centre has focus on making governance sensitive and responsive towards needs and provisions for the senior citizens, persons with special needs and other marginalized groups. The Center will undertake a range of initiatives from advocacy to capacity building of relevant actors in government and outside on the basis of evidence gathered from facts and systematic need analysis. It will thereby promote usage of legal provisions to facilitate mainstream existence for those who suffer from drug abuse, mental illnesses, etc. HIPA will build expertise in research, training, outreach and support mechanisms for building an inclusive and sensitive state and society known for social justice and equality for all citizens.
