Livelihood Improvement Programme

Projet terminé

SDC mandated Helvetas in 2005 to implement the project “Improving Livelihoods of Rural Communities (ILRC)” with a focus on Education, Health promotion, Income generation and strengthening of local structures. So far, ILRC has built pedagogical skills of 80% of teachers in the covered districts and trained more than 1’000 students in literacy courses. Basic health trainings of 12’000 women, men and youth have evidently impacted the health seeking behaviour and health state of the population. The formation of economic interest groups and investments in livestock management have lowered mortality rates of flocks from 10 to 1% and increased the return on investment costs by 5 times. Helvetas’ activities in these domains have not only improved incomes and enhanced family nutrition but have also perceivably empowered women. The project works along government policies and applies a Sustainable Livelihood Approach, which shall safeguard sustainability. The deteriorating security situation in the South and East of Afghanistan has so far not prevented Helvetas from implementing ILRC in the five selected districts in the provinces of Bamiyan, Baghlan and Samangan. Helvetas attaches great importance to a conflict sensitive project management.
