The MGSA project aims to secure and enhance land and livelihood opportunities for excluded communities.

The project's purpose is to provide secure livelihoods to scheduled castes (SC), scheduled tribes (ST), single women and persons with disability (PwD) through democratic accountability, responsiveness and transparency in governance systems.

The MGSA project is working in 388 villages in the Jhabua, Raisen, Sagar, and Sheopur districts of Madhya Pradesh. PACS is supporting the project for four years.
