MNREGA ‘Mate’ Training Manual

This training manual seeks to help Dalit women become effective worksite supervisors, or “Mates”, under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act. It was conceived by two Civil Society Organizations, Gender at Work and Sahjani Shicksha Kendra, as part of the Dalit Women’s Livelihood Accountability Initiative, a programme supported by UN Women’s Fund for Gender Equality. The manual combines technical information as well as practical advice on how to deal with issues related to gender and caste discrimination.
