The Nots first

TNFirst is a collective endeavour to ensure that those kept behind – the have nots – attain the SDGs first, and are above the mean in all human development indicators. 

It is the human rights version of the Indian concept of ‘Antyodaya’, to ensure that the vulnerable individuals, families, and communities become more resilient in an increasingly unstable world, where natural and manmade disasters are the norm. 

The approach has several multi-disciplinary components, each of which focus on a specific set deprivations and together cover the entire gamut of human well-being.
