Many problems facing families and communities in the developing world are linked to inadequate employment and income and the lack of a political voice. SDIA members work to strengthen the social, economic and political participation of those in marginalized communities, increasing their ability to shape their own destiny. Through community development the capacity to meet common goals is increased and families are helped to establish more secure and sustainable livelihoods.
SDIA activities for Community Development and Sustainable Livelihoods aim to…
- Promote the use of participatory approaches to development;
- Build vocational, literacy and work related skills;
- Provide opportunities for adult education, rehabilitation and social integration;
- Develop micro-savings and loan schemes that empower women and men to become more effective providers for their families.
