Assistance
for Rehabilitation of Rural Artisan/Agriculturists in
the Earthquake Affected Areas of Gujarat
Progress
Report April to July 2001
Livelihood
Security Fund Lessons Learnt
As stated in
the proposal, SEWA has launched the economic rehabilitation
programme, with the aim of providing long term "Livelihood
Security" to the families, in the disaster prone districts.
This will lead to reduction in their vulnerability with assured
work and income security. It will also lead to regional development,
with full participation and involvement of the communities themselves.
Therefore, SEWA
plans, to convert the revolving fund – ploughed back at
the end of the year, into a Long term "Livelihood Security
Fund" which will be used for ongoing economic activities
by the local village groups and their district Associations.
SEWA has also
set up a "Livelihood Security Task Force" to facilitate
building up, guide and monitor the utilization of the fund.
