Under Natural Resource Development
Sustainable Land Management Program (SLMP) led by the Ministry of Agriculture, is financed by the Green Climate Fund and the Global Partnership for Sustainable and Resilient Landscapes (PROGREEN) through World Bank and by German Development Cooperation and the Royal Norwegian embassy through Kreditanstalu für Wiederaufbau (KfW).
SLMP is a seven-year program (2022-2028) targeting 131 major watersheds (1,228 micro-watersheds), across nine regions. It benefits over 601,421 households (3,007,105 individuals) including a significant proportion of female-headed households.
The program focuses on promoting sustainable land and water management practices using an integrated watershed approach. It aims at strengthening climate resilience of production systems, restoring degraded land, and increasing agricultural productivity to improve livelihoods for rural communities.
While SLMP does not directly finance and administration, the program supports capacity building and the provision of equipment to facilitate land certification through strong collaboration with regional institutions.
Aligned with national and global priorities, including Ethiopia’s Climate Resilient Green Economy Strategy, SLMP helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions while enhancing carbon sequestration. In this way, it supports Ethiopia’s transition toward a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy.
Through community-based approaches, SLMP promotes active community participation, capacity building, and institutional strengthening for long-term sustainability. By addressing key challenges such as land degradation and rural unemployment, the program improves productivity and creates economic opportunities.
SLMP is implemented through three main components:
- Integrated watershed and landscape management– investing in green infrastructure and restoring degraded land through climate-smart agricultural practices, while creating income-generating opportunities for communities.
- Institutional strengthening– enhancing local capacity and modernizing information systems using digital tools and geospatial technologies.
- Project management– strengthening effective coordination across sectors and administrative levels, building the capacity of government institutions and communities, and ensuring effective monitoring, evaluation and knowledge sharing.
The Participatory Agriculture and Climate Transformation Program (PACT) is led by the Ministry of Agriculture in collaboration with the Development Bank of Ethiopia and supported by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).
This seven-year program, launched in 2024, is implemented with the objective of sustainably improving inclusive and equitable agricultural incomes, ensuring food and nutrition security for vulnerable groups, and building resilience to climate shocks. Targeting 144,309 rural households, the program operates in selected kebeles of Amhara, Oromia, Tigray, South Ethiopia, Central Ethiopia, South-West Ethiopia, Sidama, Somali, and Afar regions.
PACT places particular emphasis on ensuring that both women and men have equal opportunities to manage climate related risks and benefit from agricultural development interventions.
The program adopts a participatory and integrated approach that empowers communities to lead climate-resilient agricultural development. It focuses on three key components:
- Community-led climate smart productive landscape– promoting sustainable land management and climate-smart agricultural practices.
- Agribusiness development– strengthening farmer organizations access to finance, improving market access and linkage, and supporting young agripreneurs.
- Institutional and policy strengthening and implementation support services– enhancing capacity of institutions and improving policy frameworks for participatory planning and implementation.
The Climate Action Through Landscape Management – Program-for-Results (CALM-PforR) is a large-scale initiative led by the Ministry of Agricultural and funded by World Bank through a grant of USD 500 million. Since its launch in 2019, CALM-PforR has undergone two strategic extensions to enhance its impact and is expected to be completed in June 2026.
CALM is designed to strengthen environmental sustainability and climate resilience, by promoting local ownership and ensuring a smooth transition of managed landscapes to community-based governance structures.
The program addresses a critical gap in sustainable natural resource management by institutionalizing a community-driven cooperative model. Through cooperatives composed of local residents, watershed management is implemented as a structured, participatory, and voluntary system. CALM develops micro-watersheds across 11 regions, covering a total of 2.5 million hectares of land. Each micro-watershed averaging 500 hectares, contributing to achieving “greening” on across 500,000 hectares of the treated land.
In response to challenges of widespread land degradation, declining soil fertility, and climate vulnerability affecting rural households, the program focuses on the following core components:
1. Integrated watershed and landscape management – focusing on field-based investments to scale up Sustainable Land Management (SLM) and expanding practical land restoration and conservation activities at the watershed level.
2. Land administration, policy, and knowledge systems – focusing on supporting the development of policies and regulations that promote sustainable land management; generating, documenting, and disseminating knowledge and best practices; and enhancing research and innovation capacity to support evidence-based land management practices.
3. Institutional strengthening and program management – focusing on capacity building within public and private sectors including Agriculture Technical and Vocational Education and Training Colleges (ATVETC) through Research Institutions – Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research/Regional Agricultural Research Institutes (EIAR/RARIs); supporting program coordination, monitoring, evaluation, and implementation of the Ethiopian Strategic Investment Framework (ESIF); and the application of environmental and social safeguard frameworks.
Through these efforts, CALM aims to enhance agricultural productivity, restore ecosystems, and build resilient and sustainable rural livelihoods.
The overall objective of REILA III is climate resilient economic growth advanced by improved land tenure security and increased application of climate smart agriculture by smallholder farmers, in particular women and persons in vulnerable situations.
The expected outcomes are that land administration services are sustainable with wider use of land data that responds to the needs of the rural population in general and persons in vulnerable situations in particular, and that smallholder farmers, including women, youth and persons in vulnerable situations, have knowledge and access to finance to apply sustainable soil management and climate smart agriculture.
Project timeline is from September 2024-August 2028. The Project Funder is Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland: 9.5 million Euros, Government of Ethiopia: 1.5 million Euro equivalents in kind.
Key components: REILA III support focuses on developing workflows and completing SLLC in selected project woredas using new and innovative technologies; keeping NRLAIS up to date, fully functional and further developed with new technological knowledge; enhancing the NRLAIS system and connecting it to other sectors to meet the needs of the Federal MoA and enhance economic benefits, including compliance with EU coffee export regulations (EUDR), providing access to finance for smallholders (NAFIR), fertilizer distribution (EFSH roadmap), farmers profiling, movable Collateral Registry System under National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE), commercial agricultural purposes, and FAYDA linkage; providing monitoring and evaluation services to the land administration sector; ensuring gender equality and social inclusion in land administration service delivery; providing support to capacity building, policy, law and institutional development and reform at all levels (Federal to Kebele level); producing and piloting parcel specific soil health-CSA cards with the balanced nutrient advisory of parcels and responsive CSA practices; developing and piloting de-risking weather and climate advisory tools for insurance companies and financial institutions; developing and piloting the use of collateral land value for farmers and financial institutions; partnering with banks, MFIs and insurance companies to deliver targeted services to smallholder farmers and agri-businesses; developing and piloting due diligence tools for EUDR compliance for coffee export; and supporting RLAULEO and other relevant stakeholders to effectively use CAMIS as a tool for promoting Responsible Agricultural Investment (RAI).
The project is implemented by NIRAS in close cooperation with RLAULEO and the respective regional land bureaus or equivalent in selected regions. The project has a federal mandate but also focuses on a number of target regions including Amhara, Benishangul Gumuz and Southwest Ethiopia.
Target beneficiaries are in the first place agricultural smallholder producers including women and vulnerable people, but also all levels of public rural land administration service delivery such as regional land and agricultural bureaus, zonal and woreda level land administrations, kebele land administration and use committees and experts.
The project provides support to major Ethiopian processes including Digital Ethiopia 2030, the Ethiopian Sustainable Investment Framework for Sustainable Land Management, NAFIR, and the EFSH roadmap, among others.
REILA is not just an implementation program; rather, it is a strategic enabler that creates the institutional, technological, and policy environment necessary for scalable, sustainable, and integrated land administration systems in Ethiopia.
Under Livestock and Fisheries Development
The Livestock and Fishery Sector Development Project (LFSDP) is a transformative initiative led by the Ministry of Agriculture with financial support from the World Bank. Implemented from 2018 to 2026, the project focuses on enhancing productivity and market competitiveness in livestock and fisheries as key contributors to livelihood, food security, and the national economy.
The project has the objective of increasing productivity and commercialization of livestock and fish producers and processors in selected value chains by strengthening service delivery systems. The project targets high-impact value chains including dairy, red meat, poultry, and fishery products.
LFSDP is structured around core activities such as enhancing market linkage and addressing low productivity and limited access to improved technologies and services as well as extension services.
Currently, it is implemented across nine regions, 58 woredas, and 1,755 kebeles targeting 2.2 million beneficiaries, including smallholder farmers, youth, women, cooperatives, and unions.
The project delivers integrated interventions such as distribution of improved breed, strengthening veterinary and extension services, fish seed multiplication, feed production, capacity building, and infrastructure development including cold chains and market centers. These interventions are implemented through a coordinated approach involving government institutions, individual farmers, cooperatives and unions.
Through these integrated efforts, LFSDP contributes to improved nutrition, job creation, increased incomes, and a commercially viable livestock and fisheries sector in Ethiopia.
Strengthening Drought Resilience (SDR III) project addresses long-standing challenges faced by pastoral and agro-pastoral communities in Ethiopian’s arid and semi-arid lowlands. These areas are characterized by increasing livestock pressure on a rapidly shrinking forage resource base, degradation of rangeland and declining dry season forage reserves, often worsened by soil erosion. These challenges have been accelerated by the impact of climate change including recurrent drought, flooding, and desert locust invasion.
SDR III is a five-year project implemented in Afar region and is expected to be completed in April 2027. The project is led by the Ministry of Agriculture with financial support from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. A grant of EUR 15 million was provided through the German Development Bank (KfW).
The project builds on the achievements of previous phases – SDR I & II, which focused on strengthening drought resilience and improving food security. SDR III continues its efforts by focusing on developing water and soil resources for improved agro-pastoral production systems in the lowlands and rehabilitating rangelands and farmlands. This enables productive and sustainable management of natural resources and addresses the most pressing issues of pastoral livelihood systems – accessing water for both human and animals use and critical shortage of fodder during the dry season.
Some of its key interventions include investment in water infrastructure and nature-based solutions:
- Developing small and medium‐scale irrigation and existing but underutilized deep wells for drinking water.
- Rehabilitation and management of pasture and range lands.
- Supporting operation and maintenance of water supply infrastructure and rangeland rehabilitation machinery.
- Developing important social infrastructure to support community resilience.
Through these interventions, SDR III is expected to reduce vulnerability to drought, improve livestock productivity, enhance household incomes, and strengthen resilience ultimately achieving sustainable natural resource management and improved food security in dry land areas of the Ethiopia.
The De-Risking, Inclusion and Value Enhancement of Pastoral Economies (DRIVE) Project led by the Ministry of Agriculture and financially supported by the World Bank was launched in 2022 with a budget of USD 115 million. The project aims to enhance the resilience and economic well-being of pastoral and agro-pastoral communities in Ethiopia.
The project is implemented across 187 woredas in Oromia, Somali, Afar, South Ethiopia, and Southwest Ethiopia regions. In these areas, livelihoods depend heavily on livestock and are highly vulnerable to climate variability. Frequent droughts have resulted in significant livestock losses, threatening food security and household incomes. Additionally, pastoralists often lack access to formal financial services such as insurance, credit, and savings, limiting their ability to cope with shocks and invest in productivity.
DRIVE addresses these persistent challenges – recurrent drought, financial exclusion, and underdeveloped livestock market systems – structured around two key components. The first focuses on de-risking and financial inclusion, introducing innovative mechanisms such as drought index insurance to protect pastoralists against climate shocks. It also promotes access to financial services and financial literacy, with particular emphasis on women and youth inclusion. The second component aims to strengthen livestock value chains by improving veterinary and animal health services, enhancing market infrastructure, supporting private sector investment, and facilitating efficient livestock trade along major corridors connecting Ethiopia to regional and international markets.
By integrating financial protection with market development, the project seeks to improve productivity, expand market access, and increase incomes.
DRIVE contributes to enhanced resilience to climate shocks, improved livestock quality, greater financial inclusion, and stronger participation of marginalized groups transforming pastoral economies in Ethiopia and promoting sustainable, inclusive, and resilient development.
The Build Resilience for Food and Nutrition Security (BREFONS) project is a key initiative designed to strengthen food and nutrition and improve the livelihoods of pastoral and agro-pastoral communities in Ethiopia. Led by the Ministry of Agriculture, the project has a total budget of approximately USD 46 million with the African Development Bank contributing 27.25 million USD, the Government of Ethiopia 2.72 million USD, and community contributions being 1.36 million USD.
Launched in 2022, BREFONS is implemented in 30 woredas across Oromia, Somali, Afar, South Ethiopia, and Southwest Ethiopia regions. The project targets 2.27 million people, including more than 441 thousand female-headed households, representing nearly half of the beneficiaries.
The main objective of the project is to enhance food and nutrition security, strengthen resilience to climate change, and promote sustainable livelihoods by increasing agricultural productivity.
In response to problems of persistent food and nutrition insecurity, low agricultural productivity, and limited dietary diversity, BREFONS implements the following key components.
1. Strengthening climate-resilient agricultural production systems by investing in water supply infrastructure, expanding animal health services, and supporting rangeland and pasture development.
2. Promoting agribusiness development for youth and women through the construction of market infrastructure, feeder roads, and the establishment of income-generating activities such as poultry, beekeeping, fattening, fishery and horticulture.
3. Enhancing community resilience by improving access to climate information through agro-meteorological systems.
By integrating infrastructure, livelihood diversification, and climate adaptation measures, BREFONS is making a significant contribution to improving food security, building resilience, and supporting sustainable development in Ethiopia’s pastoral areas.
Under Agriculture and Horticulture Development
Ethio-SHEP 2 started in August 2023 with the aim of expanding the SHEP Approach in Ethiopia to a wider area. In addition to the two target regions in Phase 1 (Oromia and Amhara Regions), activities will be newly implemented in Central Ethiopia, Sidama and South Ethiopia Regions. The Project selects one implementing Zone from each of 3 Regions and 2 Districts (Woreda) will be selected from each Zone through a proposal system (Total 12 Woredas in 3 new Regions as of Dec 2024.)
The Rural Economic Development and Food Security (RED&FS) Sector Working Group was established in 2008 with the purpose to act as a platform bringing together the Government of Ethiopia, with its Development Partners who are active in the Agriculture Sector. The broad objectives of the platform are to facilitate dialogue between the government and DPs, mobilize and direct development investments towards the identified priorities of the government, and harmonize those investments in order to enhance Resource Effectiveness.
The Rural Economic Development and Food Security (RED&FS) initiative typically refers to a program or project aimed at fostering economic growth, improving food security, and enhancing livelihoods in rural communities, particularly in developing countries. These initiatives often integrate agricultural development, market access, rural infrastructure improvement, and capacity building to achieve sustainable outcomes.
The Rural Economic Development and Food Security (RED&FS) initiative represents a holistic approach to promoting sustainable rural development, enhancing food security, and improving livelihoods through integrated interventions that address the diverse needs of rural communities
Ethiopia hosts a large number of displaced people across the country, which puts pressure on local resources, infrastructure, and the livelihoods of host communities. At the same time, refugees face limited livelihood options and poor access to essential social services.
The Development Response to Displacement Impacts Project Phase II (DRDIP II) is a national project led by the Ministry of Agriculture and supported by the World Bank. Building on the achievements of phase I, the phase II project was launched in 2022 and will run through 2027. It is implemented in 330 kebeles and 30 woredas of six regions, namely Afar, Amhara, Benishangul-Gumuz, Gambella, Somali, and Tigray regions.
A total of 2.5 million beneficiaries (745,438 refugees and 1.7 million host community members) are impacted by this project.
DRDIP II addresses these challenges by promoting sustainable development strategies. To improve the livelihoods of both the refugees and host communities, the project focuses on enhancing access to basic social services (education, health, water, and sanitation), expanding economic opportunities through livelihood support, job creation, women empowerment, small-scale irrigation, and strengthening environmental management to restore and protect natural resources.
Through these efforts, DRDIP II aims to improve living conditions, increase incomes, and strengthen resilience among communities to contribute to inclusive and sustainable development in targeted communities. This benefits about 2.5 million of both the refugees and the host communities at large by strengthening social cohesion and resilience.
An agricultural value chain comprises the full range of actors and activities from input suppliers and farmers to processors, transporters, and retailers required to bring a food product from the farm to the final consumer.It represents the complete sequence of activities and participants involved in moving an agricultural product from production to consumption, with each stage adding value to the product. For example, raw agricultural commodities may be processed into packaged goods, supported by essential services such as finance and logistics.The inclusive and sustainable agricultural value chains development project (ISVCDP) is led by the ministry of agriculture and financed by the Italian government through the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS). The project is funded through a long-term loan of €30 million and has been under implementation since 2019.
ISVCDP is implemented in 49 woredas across the Oromia, Sidama, and Southern Ethiopia regions, reaching approximately 1.3 million direct beneficiaries and 2.7 million indirect beneficiaries.
The project connects smallholder farmers producing wheat, tomatoes, avocados, and pineapples with agro-industrial parks—specifically the Bulbula Agro-Industrial Park in Oromia and the Yirgalem Agro-Industrial Park in Sidama region. This integration enhances productivity, improves market access, and strengthens the participation of smallholder farmers in the development of sustainable agricultural value chains.
The project provides plan-based support to increase production and productivity. It delivers capacity-building training for farmers, develops infrastructure, facilitates access to credit, and promotes nutrition-sensitive agriculture.
ISVCDP supports various stakeholders across the agricultural value chain, including smallholder farmers, agricultural research centers, service providers, agro-processors, traders, and women. Each of these actors plays a vital role in the development of a sustainable value chain.
The project has made significant contributions to strengthening the agricultural sector, with tangible improvements achieved through close coordination with agro-industries. Agro-industries are a key government priority for ensuring efficient and sustainable agricultural production systems
The Ethiopian Climate Resilient Wheat Value Chain Development Project (CREW) is led by the Ministry of Agriculture and implemented with support from the World Bank. Implemented from 2024 – 2028 the project has the objective of increasing wheat production and productivity and improving the livelihood income of smallholder farmers. The project covers 76 districts/woredas in Oromia, Amhara, Somali and Afar regions.
CREW focuses on improving wheat yields by addressing challenges of soil acidity and salinity, improving the management of vertosol (black cotton soil), and introducing technologies for fodder supply and soil fertility management. By doing so, the project overcomes shortage of certified wheat seeds.
Key interventions include,
- Planting fodder crops to increase livestock feed supply.
- Enhancing skills in black soil development to accelerate agricultural growth.
- Establishing mechanization centres to enhance farmers’ access to mechanization services.
- Expanding extension advisory services to strengthen skills.
Through such integrated interventions, CREW contributes to building a more productive wheat sector in Ethiopia.
National Avocado Development Program (NADP) is a strategic national program implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture and financed by the Government of Ethiopia. Launched in 2025, the program is designed as a long-term program with the ambition of making Ethiopia a leading global avocado produced within 15 years.
The program is implemented in 4710 kebeles and 157 woredas in Oromia, Amhara, South Ethiopia, Southwest Ethiopia, Sidama, Central Ethiopia, Benishangul-Gumuz, Tigray, Harari, and Gambella regions, areas with high potential for avocado production. The program benefits approximately 3 million smallholder farmers as well as around 977,182 youth and women.
Despite Ethiopia’s high production potential, the avocado sub-sector faces low productivity, limited use of improved planting materials, poor orchard management practices, and inadequate technical support services. Furthermore, post-harvest losses, weak cold chain and logistics systems, and limited value addition reduce product quality and marketability. The sector also suffers from fragmented value chain coordination, limited access to domestic and export markets, and insufficient private sector engagement.
NADP aims to transform the avocado sub-sector by enhancing food availability, improving access to safe and nutritious food, and increasing the income of value chain actors by boosting production and reducing post-harvest losses along the avocado value chain.
It is implemented with the objective of creating employment opportunities for rural youth & women, increasing productivity, ensuring a sustainable supply of raw materials for agro-industries, increasing export earnings, and strengthening food and nutrition security through improved avocado production and marketing system. The key components of the program include,
- Enhancing avocado production and productivity
- Reducing post harvest losses and maintaining quality
- Strengthening market systems and infrastructure
- Building capacity and institutional strengthening

The Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture and Food Systems (NS-AFSS) project in Ethiopia is led by the Ministry of Agriculture, implemented by Save the Children International, and financed by the Gates Foundation. Launched in November 2025, the three-years project is being implemented in Oromia, Amhara and Somali regions of Ethiopia.
The project provides a framework for embedding nutrition objectives into agricultural policies, programs, and investments. It aims to strengthen the capacity and systems of the agricultural sector to effectively plan, implement, and monitor nutrition-sensitive agriculture (NSA) interventions that improve dietary diversity and nutrition outcomes.
In addition, the project supports strengthening of food system governance and data systems for informed decision-making. This contributes to the effective implementation of the National Food and Nutrition Policy and Strategy by promoting timely data generation and use, as well as testing and scaling innovative approaches that support both nutrition-sensitive and nutrition-specific food systems.
The project also contributes to effective implementation of the Ethiopian Food System Transformation and Nutrition (EFSTN) 2030 by supporting the development of the Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture and Food Systems (NS-AFSS) and food system roadmap, strengthening institutional and human capacity for effective implementation of food system and nutrition strategies at all levels, and, enhancing data systems, innovation, and learning.
The Ethiopian Food System Resilience Program (FSRP) is a flagship national program led by the Ministry of Agriculture and supported by the World Bank. Implemented from 2022 to 2029, the program builds on the success of Ethiopia’s Agriculture Growth Program (AGP) I and II further expanding efforts to strengthen the country’s food systems.
The program has the objective of improving resilience of food systems and increasing preparedness against food insecurity. It operates across ten regions and two city administrations, covering 51 zones, 183 woredas, and 4,301 kebeles and is expected to benefit around 4.1 million households nationwide.
FSRP focuses on increasing agricultural productivity, promoting value addition, and improving market competitiveness. By doing so, the program seeks to increase income of smallholder farmers, achieve food and nutrition security, as well as advance Ethiopia’s food sovereignty.
The program is structured around four core components,
- Transforming agricultural services and innovation systems
- Resilient smallholder irrigation development and management
- Food market development
- Improving enabling environment for food systems and project management
These components provide a comprehensive approach to building a more resilient and inclusive food system.
The Rural Productive Safety Net Program (RPSNP) is designed to support extremely poor and most vulnerable rural households, while contributing to the creation of community assets. First launched in 2005, the program is now nearing completion of its fifth phase, with the next phase (PSNP 6) expected to begin in June 2026.
The program is led by the Ministry of Agriculture and primarily supported by the World Bank, alongside key development partners including Austria, Canada, Denmark, the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), Germany, Ireland (Irish Aid), the Netherlands, Norway, and USAID, as well as WFP and UNICEF. It is implemented across ten regions and one city administration, covering 494 woredas and targeting approximately 8 million beneficiaries.
PSNP 5 – Key Program Impacts
Over the years, the program has delivered strong results in saving lives, strengthening household and community resilience, and supporting longer-term transformation. Key achievements include:
- Public Works have played a major role in reducing climate-related risks through watershed rehabilitation and rangeland management.
- Investments in social infrastructure have led to the construction or strengthening of 4,125 health posts and the expansion or rehabilitation of 20,795 schools.
- Around 1.4 million households have gained access to financial services by opening bank accounts.
- The Management Information System (MIS) has been rolled out in 487 out of 494 woredas. A call center is expected to be operational by March 2025, and Digital ID efforts are prioritizing the registration of PSNP beneficiaries.
- Under Livelihood Support, about 984,436 households have received grants and credit to implement both on-farm and off-farm business plans.
- Approximately 2 million hectares of land have been treated through area closures, rangeland management, soil and water conservation, forage development, and forestry activities.
- Shock-responsive transfers have reached around 28 million beneficiaries.
- By the end of this phase, about 4.2 million PSNP clients are expected to graduate from the program.
Looking ahead: PSNP 6 (2026–2031)
The sixth phase of the program (RPSNP 6: 2026–2031) is expected to reach around eight million rural people across 12 regions and one city administration. It will shift toward a more integrated and transformative approach, with stronger emphasis on livelihoods, economic productivity, and the long-term resilience of households and communities, while also improving the program’s ability to respond to a wider range of shocks beyond drought. This phase also provides an important opportunity to promote more inclusive economic growth in rural Ethiopia and strengthen resilience among the most vulnerable groups, especially youth.
The next phase of the PSNP (PSNP6) is closely aligned with national policies and strategic priorities, including the Agricultural rural development policy, the Climate Resilient Green Economy (CRGE) strategy, Bounty of basket (“Yelemat Terufat”), the Green Legacy initiative, National Social Protection Policy, and the Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Policy.
Goal and Strategic Direction
- Livelihoods and jobs:Expanding income opportunities and supporting diverse income-generating activities
