Rural-Urban Integration

Our Rural-Urban Integration Program is dedicated to enhancing the livelihoods of displaced persons working in rural areas, recognizing their vital role in the informal economy. By connecting rural communities with urban systems, the program promotes secure working conditions, sustainable income, and greater economic opportunities.

Research-Driven Insights:
Through thorough data collection and analysis, we explore the realities of rural informal economies. These evidence-based insights guide our strategies, ensuring that interventions address real challenges and maximize impact.

Advocacy for Inclusive Integration:
The program supports campaigns that advocate for the fair inclusion of displaced informal workers in both rural and urban systems. We work to improve access to secure housing, employment rights, and equitable representation, helping workers gain the resources and recognition they deserve.

Empowering Communities:
We focus on building the skills and knowledge of member organizations and worker groups, enabling them to engage policymakers, negotiate fair terms, and influence decision-making processes in urban and rural settings.

Partnerships and Collaboration:
By fostering strong networks among rural organizations, researchers, and policymakers, the program amplifies the voices of displaced workers. Collaborative initiatives strengthen advocacy efforts, encourage knowledge-sharing, and drive systemic change.

Outcome-Oriented Approach:
With a combination of research, advocacy, and community empowerment, the Rural-Urban Integration Program helps displaced informal workers transition from vulnerability to opportunity, creating sustainable pathways for improved livelihoods and social inclusion.
