As a part of supporting the policy-making process for enhancing livelihoods of the poor, Livelihoods India hosts thematic and policy retreats throughout the year to enable consistent engagement with stakeholders including policymakers, practitioners and other development organisations. A few themes on which thematic/policy retreats have been held include FPO Financing, Agri-Technology for Advancing Agriculture, Empowering Women in Agriculture and Impacting Livelihoods of the Ultra-Poor among others. This year, the round-the-year engagement will bring focus on the handloom sector, women’s economic empowerment, and urban livelihoods along with other themes.
