The Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) is a capacity-building program for the identified poor, vulnerable, and marginalized households and communities aimed at providing viable interventions and support to improve the program participants’ socio-economic conditions by accessing and acquiring necessary assets to engage in and maintain thriving livelihoods.

Specifically, the SLP aims to: enhance human assets through technical-vocational and life skills training; extend social assets through membership and participation in SLP associations and community groups; expand financial assets through seed capital and access to credit and savings facilities; enrich natural assets that protect and contribute to community livelihoods; and, establish or acquire physical assets for more efficient livelihoods.

Modalities of the SLP include: Seed Capital Fund, a start-up capital for the purchase of tools, raw materials, common service facilities and other assets needed in starting or expanding a microenterprise; Cash-for-Building-Livelihood Assets (CBLA) Fund, a grant for labor-intensive projects to build, rebuild and/or protect natural and physical assets necessary for microenterprises; Skills Training Fund, a capacity-building assistance for the acquisition of technical and vocational knowledge and skills; and, Employment Assistance Fund, a grant to acquire employment requirements.
