Use of Sustainable Livelihoods Approaches

The aim of the programme is to enhance sustainable development and food security through application of integrated and collaborative approaches both within FAO and in partner countries. Such approaches often imply institutional change and the introduction of new cross-sectoral working modes.

The programme takes a continued learning approach that offers both FAO and Intergrated Porgramme partner countries an opportunity to explore and experience how to implement integrated and collaborative activities and projects.

Guiding principles of the programme:

interdisciplinarity to address the multi-sectoral issues that underlie poverty and food security;
partnerships within FAO and with governments, other organisations and civil society;
continuous learning process;
demand-driven
