Regardless of the principal beneficiaries’/target groups, the final beneficiaries should be citizens of the community where the project is implemented or the country in general. For the principal beneficiaries’/target groups, equal gender participation should be targeted. Whenever possible, a similar approach is to be followed also for the inclusion of other under-represented and marginalized groups, especially those mostly affected by Covid-19 pandemic (poor, minorities, women, youth, elderly, people with disabilities, LGBTI, etc.).
