Core Pillars of the Inclusive Framework

- Health & Nutrition: Focuses on universal primary healthcare, digital medical tools, and addressing nutritional deficiencies to reduce out-of-pocket expenditure.
- Equity & Dignity: Mandates equal access to public goods for marginalized communities, with a target to increase female labor force participation to 50%.
Implementation Strategy
