LIVELIHOOD AND SOCIAL MOBILIZATION
Our livelihood-related programs support adolescents, young people and women to pursue self-employment. MSD uses a step-by-step approach to support and encourage targeted groups to build and grow market-driven enterprises. We identify youth groups, young women and adolescents and support them to establish self-help groups and Village Saving and Loan Associations, delivering basic business development trainings and providing startup capital.
