In the last 10 years, the importance and relevance of this sector has increased very significantly<\/strong> and confirmed that the visibility given by the Strategy to support the livelihoods of vulnerable communities was crucial.\u00a0\n\nWhile Livelihoods is not always the first priority for National Societies, as compared to traditional sectors like Health, Disaster Management, and Shelter. The inclusion of Livelihoods as one of the most critical priorities in Strategy 2020 <\/strong>has been key for the recognition of this sector and its contribution to alleviate suffering and help people recover from disasters. This has also resulted in the creation of the IFRC Livelihoods Resource Centre in 2010 to support National Societies in Livelihoods preparedness, quality programming and capacity building.\n\nSince then, many National Societies have put a stronger emphasis on working in this sector. Figures from IFRC Livelihoods Resource Centre (LRC) database<\/strong> also highlight that the amount allocated to Food Security and Livelihoods in IFRC Emergency Appeals was approximately 87.7 million Swiss francs, between 2010 and 2016. However, this amount remains low in light of the needs. The FAO estimated that economic losses caused by disasters cost an average of USD 250 billion<\/a> to USD 300 billion annually, adversely affecting economic growth and eroding development gains in vulnerable communities.\n\n\u00a0The LRC has led the strengthening of technical knowledge across the Movement through the development of several documents and guidelines and the training of over 3,100 staff<\/strong> and volunteers<\/strong> from 117 National Societies<\/strong> plus the IFRC and the ICRC.\n\nFurthermore, the emergence of the concept of resilience<\/strong> in RCRC interventions over the past years has also facilitated the increasing engagement in livelihoods programming among National Societies. The IFRC defines resilience as<\/a>\n As the IFRC is on the brink of agreeing on a new Strategy for 2020 \u2013 2030, we must ensure that livelihoods programming continues to grow and improve in quality. Protecting communities\u2019 livelihoods before and during disasters, restoring income sources and employment is critical in rebuilding people\u2019s lives after a disaster and strengthening their resilience in the long run.\n\nTo date, livelihoods programming within RCRC Movement has focused around three main areas:\n\n\u201cThe ability of individuals, communities, organisations, or countries exposed to disasters and crises and underlying vulnerabilities to anticipate, reduce the impact of, cope with, and recover from the effects of adversity without compromising their long-term prospects<\/em>\u201d. \u00a0\n<\/blockquote>\nSimilarly, the growing interest of IFRC and its member National Societies in Forecast-based financing (FbF) or early action is giving increased visibility to activities surrounding the protection of livelihoods as a key component of community and household resilience. Acting early contributes to mitigate the impact of shocks by preventing the depletion of productive assets and making targeted population better prepared to face disasters or crises and recover from the shocks.\u00a0\n\nMost importantly, IFRC and the wider Movement, are now much better placed to mainstream livelihoods as a priority sector than they were in the past. Many National Societies are already implementing successful livelihoods programmes in their own countries and are becoming \u201cLivelihoods champions\u201d within their communities and across the Movement. And this is an excellent basis from which to build RCRC capacity in Livelihoods over the next decade and the next IFRC Strategy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=»https:\/\/solferinoacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Future-of-livelihoods-cover-web.jpg» _builder_version=»3.23″] \r[\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=»3.27.4″ inline_fonts=»Ahamono»]
