Commission Full 378-Page Manual:
A "livelihood" refers to the capabilities, assets and strategies
that people use to make a living; that is, to earn enough money to support
themselves and their families through a variety of economic activities. In
refugee and internally displaced person (IDP) contexts, livelihoods cover the
range of activities and programs that work toward and enhance self-reliance,
including: non-formal education, vocational and skills training programs,
income generation activities, food for work programs, apprenticeship placement
projects, micro-credit schemes, agriculture programs, business start up
programs, seeds and tools projects, animal disbursement projects,
self-employment and job placement programs. The goal of any livelihoods
strategy is to develop self-reliance.
