About
Sectorial area of intervention and policy objectives: Inclusive economic growth for poverty eradication
Joint programme summary:Drawing on the successful experiences of an earlier UNDP assisted promotional social safety net project and other innovative public works programmes aiming at permanently lifting extreme poor people out of poverty, this Joint Programme will assist women of ultra poor and most vulnerable households to move out of poverty. The programme, titled Strengthening Women’s Ability for Productive New Opportunities (SWAPNO), will promote employment, and most importantly future employability of ultra-poor rural women. Creating productive employment opportunities is generally considered the most efficient way to secure poverty reduction and inclusive growth. Strategies of the joint programme will focus on building human capital, knowledge, skills and confidence of extremely poor women for future employability. The women will be engaged for an 18-month employment tenure, mainly in maintaining or rehabilitating important community assets but also in public works and community service beyond infrastructure. The programme will provide assistance to smooth the transition from safety net employment to market-driven employment by vocational skills training, job placement and diversified climate change resilient livelihoods options, ensuring market linkages and access to essential public services and by social and economic inclusion for these women.
Such areas, with the highest incidence of extreme poverty, include Northern districts affected by seasonal hunger and Southern coastal districts affected by natural disasters and climate change.
