LIFT works in four main thematic areas:
- Agriculture, markets and food systems
- Decent work and labour mobility
- Financial inclusion

Each thematic area aims to contribute to changes at the policy, system and household/individual levels:
- Policy includes advocacy and advisory support.
- Systems include organisations, institutions, value chains, networks, community-based organisations (CBO), businesses, small and medium enterprises and front-line service providers.
- Household and individual includes men, women, smallholder farmers, the landless, internally displaced people, people with disabilities, migrants and those living in conflict-affected areas.
