Economic Strengthening, Climate Resilient and Livelihoods Programme

Building Skills, Incomes and Resilience

PriCHO supports women and youth to strengthen their livelihoods, increase household incomes and build greater resilience to economic and climate-related challenges.

​

Through entrepreneurship development, Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLAs), financial literacy, climate-resilient agriculture and practical skills training, PriCHO helps individuals and households expand their economic opportunities and become more self-reliant.

​

Entrepreneurship and Financial Empowerment

PriCHO builds the capacity of women and youth engaged in informal and small-scale economic activities. Through entrepreneurship training, financial literacy, record keeping and savings, participants gain practical skills to manage and grow their businesses.

​

Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLAs) provide opportunities for members to save, access small loans and invest in income-generating activities. PriCHO also introduces appropriate digital tools that can improve financial management, transparency, savings practices and connections to wider economic opportunities.

​

Climate-Resilient Agriculture

Climate variability and changing rainfall patterns can make agriculture increasingly difficult for smallholder households.

PriCHO promotes practical approaches that strengthen agricultural resilience, including drought-resistant seed varieties and agroecological practices such as intercropping and the use of organic manure. These approaches support healthier soils, better water management and more sustainable agricultural production.

​

Diversifying Livelihoods

To reduce dependence on climate-sensitive agriculture, PriCHO supports alternative and off-farm livelihood opportunities.

These include:

• Poultry rearing

• Handicrafts

• Small-scale trading

• Other practical income-generating activities

Diversifying household income sources can help women and youth manage economic shocks, create employment opportunities and strengthen household financial stability.

​

Reaching Women and Youth

Our interventions focus on practical skills, financial inclusion and resilience for women and youth who are often engaged in informal or small-scale economic activities.

By strengthening their skills, access to savings and financial opportunities, PriCHO aims to increase their ability to create or expand income-generating activities and contribute to the wellbeing of their households and communities.

Locally Relevant and Accessible

PriCHO delivers livelihood and entrepreneurship interventions in languages and formats that are appropriate to the communities we serve. This helps ensure that knowledge, tools and opportunities are relevant, accessible and easy to understand.

​

Our Goal

We aim to see women and youth with stronger economic skills, more diverse livelihood opportunities and greater capacity to manage financial and climate-related challenges.

Stronger livelihoods create stronger households and more resilient communities.
