Livelihoods in South Asia
 |
Our livelihoods programme is one of our largest and longest running (£16.5 million or 22% of total programme). It is overwhelmingly based in rural areas and in the past has been focused on people’s access to assets. Recently we have developed programmes that assist people in gaining power in markets, and have launched our global Trade Campaign. Overall, our livelihoods programme has made a real impact on large numbers of people’s lives, for example helping people gain access to land, to microfinance, and to fishing rights and as a result to greater food security.
