TCI has a focus on empowering organizations of persons with psychosocial disabilities and for this TCI initiated a program of “Micro grants” to build the capacities of its member organizations and facilitate them in building partnerships at a national level with disability stakeholders including the cross disability and government stakeholders for advocacy and inclusion of persons with psychosocial disabilities in the development process.

TCI had completed two highly successful cycles of “Microgrants” in 2020 and 2021. The focus of 2020 cycle was around making a COVID response towards persons with psychosocial disabilities at the national level, whereas, the 2021 cycle focused on conducting SITAN research projects at the national level for identifying barriers faced by persons with psychosocial disabilities in accessing mainstream services and develop on recommendations for advocacy with disability stakeholders. Six micro grants were provided to TCI member organizations in each round.
