DAM has four separate but inter-connected programmes, which include Education, Livelihood, Health, and Human Rights and Social justice. DAM expects that the synergistic impacts of all the interventions made under the four programmes will not only contribute to improved living conditions of the poor but also empower them to claim their rights and entitlements and gain access to resources and services provided by the public and private sector institutions. Apart from the core programmes, DAM also has a number of supportive programmes.
