Lesson-71249-281

The economic empowerment of vulnerable communities in rural areas requires a more comprehensive approach and a longer cycle of intervention than it does in an urban setting. The provision of agricultural inputs and basic training is insufficient to have a real impact on individual livelihoods. Generating economic opportunities requires a more thorough consideration of the Theory of Change (ToC) for this particular component. The high degree of vulnerability, together with adverse contextual conditions, compels project designers to search for more comprehensive proposals.
