The main interventions include productivity focused land treatment and natural resource management; enhancing market linkage and value-chain development; promoting livelihood diversification; enhancing resilience through mainstreaming community-based Disaster Risk Reduction; and strengthening youth employment.

This includes enhancing the capacity of local actors (including government) for increased responsiveness to the needs of vulnerable groups; improving the capacity of community- and faith-based organisations and their leaders to serve as change agents and to fight HTPs; supporting establishment of self-help groups of women as economic and social agents; and promoting accountability throughout our work.
