The 15-month ILO programme aims to improve the efficiency as well as capacity of workers in three target industries:

  • Household services
  • Agriculture
  • Fisheries through various interventions.

Providing tangible support for people in these sectors, the ultimate aim is to allow them to transform their livelihoods from subsistence activities to economically sustainable employment.
