Component 2: Livelihoods Support

  

This component will support livelihoods by carrying out of a ‘cash for work’ program for communities across affected villages with the assistance a of a Social Mobilization Partner (SMP). Cash for work (CfW) programs are usually designed to assist the most affected and vulnerable communities so that they can quickly earn cash under “decent work” conditions. Such support enables them to respond to their immediate livelihood needs (food, shelter) in return for participating in disaster clean up and restoration activities.

 

The objectives of the CfW program are to:

 

·         Provide income support to poor, vulnerable households through short-term, intensive, semi-skilled, and unskilled labor so they can meet their essential needs.

·         Build or rehabilitate local-level public/community assets and physical and natural infrastructure to sustain urgent basic services such as clean water supply, sanitation, local roads, watershed interventions, and other climate-resilient assets that strengthen the resilience of households and communities to climate risks.
