Food Security and Livelihood (FSL)
CIRDA seeks to secure the rights of people living in poverty to food and income security and decent work within the context of eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, reducing inequality, and ensuring the sustainable use of land and water. We believe that gender inequality is one of the greatest barriers to poverty eradication and sustainable development, and in all our work we seek to promote policies and practices that challenge and redress unequal power relations between women and men.
Those engaged in subsistence and market-based livelihoods are increasingly exposed to risks derived from the economic crisis, disasters, and climate change. We priorities helping people manage risk and adapt their livelihoods in the face of such risks. We also campaign to transform the policies, power relations and politics that drive hunger, poverty and vulnerability.
