Project
CORAD Promoting Linkages for Livelihood Security; Economic Development (LINKS)
Description
CARE Sierra Leone's Promoting Linkages for Livelihood Security and Economic Development (LINKS) program intends to facilitate more rapid integration of communities into dynamic rural economies in which inputs flow to communities and products are more easily marketed. The program will focus on 21 Chiefdoms in the Sierra Leone districts of Koinadugu, Kono and Kailhaun and will positively impact 156, 000 direct and indirect beneficiaries over its lifetime. The LINKS program is specifically designed to broaden the range and increase the productivity of livelihood activities at the community level and to link productive communities more integrally into regional and national market systems. Building on the foundation of increased agricultural production that will be established by the Consortium for Rehabilitation and Development (CORAD) Developmental Relief Program (DRP), the LINKS Program which will also be implemented by CORAD will enhance the capacities of farmers to innovate in their agricultural production. The program will also expand the productivity of micro-enterprise at the community level, especially with value-added activities that open up markets for agricultural commodities. Savings and literacy activities at the community level will mobilize small amounts of capital while beginning to address the effects of the disruption of basic education services during the conflict.
