The NDRC is committed to enhancing economic resilience and supporting livelihoods for communities affected by disasters and crises. Our initiatives focus on building sustainable economic opportunities that empower individuals and strengthen local economies.

Key Components of NDRC’s Economic Resilience and Livelihood Programs:

1. Skills Training and Vocational Education: NDRC offers training programs that equip individuals with marketable skills, such as carpentry, tailoring, and agricultural techniques. This helps participants enhance their employability and income-generating potential.
2. Microfinance and Small Business Support: We provide access to microfinance services, including small loans and financial literacy training, to help individuals start or expand small businesses. This support fosters entrepreneurship and stimulates local economies.
3. Agricultural Development: NDRC promotes sustainable agricultural practices and provides resources such as seeds, tools, and technical support to farmers. This not only improves food security but also boosts agricultural productivity and income.
4. Market Access and Value Chain Development: We facilitate access to markets for local products by supporting value chain development. This includes connecting producers with buyers, enhancing product quality, and promoting local goods.
5. Disaster Risk Reduction and Preparedness: NDRC integrates disaster risk reduction strategies into economic resilience programs, helping communities develop contingency plans and diversify income sources to better withstand future shocks.
6. Community-Based Programs: We engage local communities in identifying their specific economic needs and designing programs that reflect their priorities. This participatory approach ensures that interventions are relevant and effective.
7. Monitoring and Evaluation: NDRC continually assesses the impact of its economic resilience and livelihood programs to adapt and improve strategies based on community feedback and changing circumstances.
