Understanding
livelihoods in order to orientate and organise project interventions
for effective and efficient impact on target beneficiaries
The "Sustainable Rural Livelihoods Pilot Project" addresses
problems faced by small-scale rural producers and other rural
citizens, many of which have been caused by the transition
to a market economy. The project is funded by DFID, and implemented
by Landell-Mills Ltd. The project's duration is from November1999
- November 2002, although it is hoped that funding will extend
beyond that period.
The core strategy of the project is based on the Sustainable
Livelihoods Approach. Over the last two years the project
has taken concrete steps to improve farmers' access to information,
legal advice, markets and financial sources, and to increase
the number of new service-providing enterprises and revitalise
rural social assets. The project has operated up to now in
the north of Moldova. There is now a call to "replicate" project
experiences in the south of the country. This consultancy
is in support of that expansion and consolidation of project
experience.
