Livelihoods

We take a thoughtful approach to land acquisition, prioritizing early, transparent, and culturally sensitive engagement with communities. When our projects require relocation or impact livelihoods, we work closely with affected households to restore, and where possible, improve, their quality of life. Our livelihood restoration programs offer support ranging from agricultural assistance to skills training and new income opportunities. Throughout, we follow the IFC Performance Standard 5 (Land Acquisition and Involuntary Resettlement), with a commitment to going beyond simple restoration, striving for real, long-term benefits for everyone impacted by our work.
