Global Forum for Rural Advisory Services (GFRAS) Agriculture and Rural Advisory Services (RAS) are an important production input for millions of small farmers around the world. The Global Forum for Rural Advisory Services (GFRAS) is a global network of 16 continental and regional RAS federations currently covering around 130 countries. With SDC’s contribution, GFRAS supports these federations to develop better and more effective RAS at the benefit of millions of smallholders, many of them living in poverty.
Swiss Capacitiy-Building Facility for Income and Employment Generation (SCBF) About 2,5 billion people do not have access to financial services and are often forced to rely on risky means to manage their money. In all of SDC’s partner countries ‘Access to Finance’ constitutes a key bottleneck for poor and vulnerable populations to improve their livelihood by increasing their income generating activities and/or better managing their household cash-flow. Low-income people face high risks and need appropriate savings and insurance services. Women are more likely than men to spend their income for the welfare of the family. They are also prudent entrepreneurs managing the majority of micro enterprises in many countries. Smallholder farmers need to hedge the increasing weather risks of drought and flooding so as to raise their productivity and food security.
Building Skills for Unemployed and Underemployed Labour (B-SkillFUL) 50,000 poor and disadvantaged men and women will improve their skills and out of them at least 70% will be gainfully employed. The resulting increase in their incomes will contribute to their better well-being and overall poverty alleviation. The employment conditions of workers in the informal sector will be improved through partnerships between the Informal Sector Industry Skills Council, enterprises and training service providers.
