Project Scope

The lead apex institution for community-driven development in the country, the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund is an autonomous not-for-profit organization enjoying facilitation from the GoP, The World Bank, IFAD, KfW Entwicklungs bank (Germany) and other statutory and corporate donors. Under the PPAF Ill, the Livelihood Enhancement and Protection (LEP) was launched in May 2009 with a financial support of USD 85 Million from the World Bank. During the MTR for the LEP, the WB requested the PPAF to carry out an investigative study on its current Livelihoods model and strategy to identify whether the main focus on ultra-poor households is stimulating sufficient economic activity at the village level to affect transformational change, or whether there should be an equal focus on the poor and vulnerable poor. AiD Pvt. Ltd. was tasked with carrying out this Investigative Study
