Livelihood and enterprise development represents a sustainable strategy to foster community resilience and self-sufficiency. This approach is driven by the principle that sustainable livelihoods and enterprises generate income, thereby granting community members the freedom to address their needs and prioritize their choices according to individual and collective desires.

In an effort to shield the community from various vulnerabilities, SND is committed to fostering the development of livelihoods and enterprises. The goal is to ensure that smallholder producers, as well as food-insecure and vulnerable populations, can participate in and benefit from more sustainable and inclusive food systems, enhancing their resilience to climate-related shocks. Specifically, SND aims to boost crop and livestock production as key avenues towards this end.

To realize this strategic objective, SND’s interventions will focus on four main areas: enhancing livestock production, boosting agricultural productivity, fostering enterprise development, and improving health and nutrition. These targeted interventions are designed to build a robust foundation for sustainable community growth and economic development.
