Livelihoods India was as set up by ACCESS as a national level platform to bring together diverse stakeholders to discuss and deliberate on critical issues that impede the livelihoods of those living in poverty, and build a strategy and vision for moving them from subsistence to sustainable levels. Now in its sixteenth year, the multi stakeholder platform has continued to engage stakeholders from the government, multilateral and bilateral organisations, civil societies, international organisations, private sector and their CSRs, academia and sector experts to scan the development ecosystem, support policy making and, integrate and sustain the most excluded/underprivileged communities, including women and youth, within mainstream economic milieu.
