JEEVIKA SEWA India
Jeevika is a seven-year livelihood security project for earthquake-affected rural households in Gujarat. Contrary to typical disaster responses, Jeevika aims to rebuild livelihoods rather than simply provide relief. The project embraces an integrated demand driven and need based approach to implement a comprehensive rural development agenda. In order to realize community driven development IFAD and GOI/GOG agreed that the initiative would be best implemented by a grassroots member-based organization. SEWA was selected as the implementing agency because of its presence in the project area, its reputation for community capacity building and its widespread membership.
