Resilient Households and Communities

This pillar integrates livelihoods, food security, and disaster risk reduction (DRR) to strengthen household resilience and community preparedness. It aligns with SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) so that vulnerable households can withstand shocks and build sustainable futures. By targeting refugee-hosting districts and disaster-prone regions, the pillar promotes financial inclusion, climate-smart agriculture, and community-led disaster preparedness. It recognizes that resilience is multidimensional encompassing economic stability, food security, and the ability to adapt to environmental and social challenges and positions households as the foundation of community strength.

Livelihoods support through vocational training and enterprise developmentVSLA/SILC Methodologies
