They are also at the core of participatory development and their participation and engagement in public affairs accords them an opportunity to take charge of their development. Through various means of dissemination and capacity building efforts to provide accurate and persuasive information as well as create spaces for multicultural and multi-sectoral learning, the missing voices of marginalized groups in society are heard, and they are persuaded to actively engage in civic matters in their communities. PEN will develop and deliver programs that enable its constituents to ensure that they engage with the relevant civic bodies and carry out social justice work that results in people\u2019s dignity.
