Overview

About the FSL Programme

Care Best Initiative delivers integrated Food Security and Livelihood interventions that address immediate food needs while strengthening long-term resilience, economic recovery, and self-reliance among vulnerable and crisis-affected populations.

CBI combines emergency food assistance, climate-smart agriculture, vocational skills development, and livelihood restoration to improve household well-being and reduce vulnerability — with a strong focus on women-led households, persons with disabilities, and marginalised communities.
