LIFT's systemic change activities focus on the policy priorities identified in LIFT’s 2014 strategy, namely:
- financial inclusion
- inclusive value chains/market systems development
- social protection
- security of land tenure
- improved nutrition
- climate change adaptation
- migration
LIFT has programmes dedicated to its work in Financial Inclusion and Migration.
In each area LIFT is:
- using its knowledge to inform policies that broaden the livelihood choices of smallholders and landless households
- using programme experience and evidence to promote more effective sector organisation, sector planning and investment, and more effective implementation of agriculture and rural development programmes
- ensuring that resilience, gender and nutrition measures feature across all interventions
LIFT continues to support the government’s National Strategic Framework for Rural Development and the ministry responsible for implementing it, the Ministry of Livestock, Fisheries and Rural Development (MoLFRD). LIFT also supported the MoLFRD to commission a planning process for a National Action Plan for Agriculture (NAPA). The NAPA supports the agricultural component (one of eight strategic priority areas) of the government’s 2011 National Strategy on Poverty Alleviation and Rural Development, which the MoLFRD has lead responsibility for.
