"Livelihoods
for Equity" is a unit in the Social Development Department
(SoDev) which also includes: Water, Health and Education.
Social Development aims to tackle the causes of poverty and
exclusion. Without social justice and a narrowing of the growing
gap in distribution between different societies, states, genders
and population groups, there can be neither peace nor political
and economic stability. Social development is a pre-requisite
for the sustainable social and economic development of a country.
The Livelihoods for Equity unit is responsible for the topics
of: Livelihoods, Empowerment,and Pro-poor policy issues. The
thematic responsibility include: to advise ,to promote learning
and exchange on experiences among sdc staff , to formulate
internal policy and to provide methodological guidance.
The
SoDev also contribute to the Poverty-Wellbeing
Network.
