ARD supports vulnerable households and communities to strengthen livelihoods, improve economic opportunities and recover from crisis.
Conflict, displacement, drought and poverty have disrupted livelihoods and reduced economic opportunities for many families. Limited access to skills, productive assets and income leaves vulnerable households less able to withstand future shocks.
ARD works with communities and partners to strengthen livelihoods through skills development, income-generating opportunities and support that enables families to rebuild their economic independence.
Our programme prioritises vulnerable households, internally displaced people, women, young people and communities recovering from humanitarian and economic shocks.
Supporting people to develop practical and market-relevant skills that improve employment and livelihood opportunities.
Helping vulnerable households establish or strengthen activities that generate sustainable income.
Supporting access to tools, productive assets and opportunities that enable families to rebuild their livelihoods.
Helping crisis-affected households restore income, strengthen self-reliance and become more resilient to future shocks.
