The rural livelihood development projects implemented by the Platform have a Multi-focal approach encompassing many components such as Entrepreneurship development, Development of traditional sectors like Fisheries & Agriculture, Tourism trade, Food security & Climate change. The sector works in sync with state development programs in line with the Sustainable development goals and facilitates linkages to public services and schemes for the project beneficiaries. Each community livelihoods development project is attuned to local needs, through an initial participatory learning and Action (PLA), wherein the local needs are identified and the final design and outcomes of the initiatives are decided. Typically, a project is implemented in the same area for a period of 2-3years in order to achieve impact and sustainable outcomes. Each project aims to ultimately enable the beneficiaries to become change makers in their own communities.
