Local Infrastructure for Livelihood Improvement (LILI)

01.08.2009 - 31.07.2014

Agricultural production, besides migration, will remain the main pillar for rural livelihood in Nepal for some time, mainly because suitable framework conditions for the other strategies (off-farm economic activities) will take time to evolve. Improving agricultural production requires reliable irrigation systems. In the context where big irrigation schemes usually receive attention, LILI’s involvement in small irrigation provides meaningful contribution to improve the food security of the marginal farmers as well as help influence government policies in their favour.
