Enhancing the interface between duty bearers and rights holders can be effective in reducing nepotism and corruption at local level, said an audit finding on Vulnerable Group Development (VGD) scheme under the Social Safety Net Programme.  
DSK SCOPE Project organised a workshop in Netrakona district recently to share their aforementioned findings, said a press release issued here Sunday.
VGD is the largest program targeting extreme poor women under the Department of Women Affairs. The beneficiaries are involved in government and NGO programs of literacy, development training and self-employment credit.
