Sustainable Livelihoods & Women’s Economic Empowerment

This thematic area focuses on enhancing rural incomes and promoting women's leadership in economic activities by equipping them with market-relevant skills and facilitating micro-enterprise development. Through vocational training, SHG strengthening, and backward-forward linkages, LKBS ensures women are not only producers but decision-makers in their households and communities. The approach is built on a combination of capacity building, asset support, and local enterprise incubation.
