Livelihood Framework - Vision
Every individual poor family is able to earn a decent livelihood
It is an integral part of any livelihood improvement initiative – improving opportunities for the rural poor to meet their priority needs
Rural Poor (Upland Communities) are;
Consumers (Buyers) ( we should work towards reducing the expenditure)
And Producers (sellers) of goods and services (we should work
towards enhancing the incomes, employment) And most importantly towards reducing/diversifying risks in both the
cases
Upland Communities
Focus is in Existing Livelihoods and finding new livelihood Opportunities towards
Increasing the IncomeDecreasing the ExpenditureIncreasing the Employment (days), andDecreasing the risks
Livelihood of the Upland Communities
Jhum Cultivation-rainfed Panikheti – wet-land agriculture NTFP (Forest) Kitchen garden Fisheries Wage Labour (hazira) Small Livestock Artisans/Semi Skilled works etc. Fisheries …have portfolios of livelihoods
Problems of Upland Communities
As Consumers – small quantities, high prices, ignorance of prices, indebtedness, consumption credit needs, lack of capacity to hold, etc.
As Producers - small quantities, high prices, ignorance of prices, indebtedness, consumption credit needs, lack of capacity to hold, etc.
The Premise
Poor are organised/willing to be organised into affinity groups – SHGs, Village Organisations and higher order organisations for common good
Poor have certain level of capacities, certain knowledge and skill-base and certain resource base.
These need to be supplemented; further they might require certain hand-holding support
The Premise
All sub-projects in Livelihoods are people’s projects (poor decide, plan, implement, monitor, evaluate and follow up) as Livelihoods are theirs and the benefit of the enhancement is theirs
Livelihood Framework: Pillars
Organising the poor – Social Mobilisation through Conscientisation: External Facilitation, Internal Animation = Incremental community efforts for self-reliance
Knowledge & Skills (Capacity Building of poor, groups and activists)
Resource Support: (including Finance, Linkages, NR & HR)
Policy Support is also required
What Are Livelihoods?
Ways of keeping oneself meaningfully occupied
By using one’s endowments (human and material)
To generate adequate resources To meet the requirements of the households In a sustainable manner
Less than 10% of rural workers in India are employed regularly. Poor rural households engage in more than one activity for their livelihood
What is Livelihood Intervention?
Livelihood interventions are consious efforts by an agency or an organisation to promote and support livelihood opportunities for a large number of people (other than those directly or indirectly employed by them). LIs can be in many forms and go far beyond running an IGP/IGA. Various interventions can influence the livelihoods of many people. Eg. Watershed development
Why Promote Livelihood?
More than 12 million additional people seeking work every year. About 30 million unemployed or under-employed, to ensure full employment within a decade, more than 15 million new livelihoods will have to be generated annually. (Planning Commission)
