PROJECT NAME: PATHWAYS TO PROSPERITY FOR EXTREMELY POOR PEOPLE (PPEPP)

Background of the Project:

This comprehensive and integrated project will work towards creating pathways out of extreme poverty for the extremely poor households by addressing multidimensional aspects of poverty. It aims to deliver the results and higher-level changes through following six interrelated and multidimensional components: Livelihoods (resilience building and value-chain development), Nutrition and Health, Community Mobilization, Market Development, Policy Advocacy, and Life-Cycle Grant Pilot. The Project has three cross-cutting areas–Disability, Disaster and Climate Resilience, and Women’s Empowerment Leading to Gender Equality. The project, jointly financed by DFID and European Union (EU), will be implemented from 2019 to 2025, with one-year inception phase. PKSF is the main executing agency for the project, and will implement Livelihoods (resilience building and value-chain development), Nutrition and Health, and Community mobilization components for the organized households and targeted communities.
