SJA has more than 25 years of experience of implementing food security and livelihood programs through its different programs. The livelihood program was part of the crosscutting issue to address the unmet needs and create the opportunity for alternative livelihood. SJA worked to increase knowledge and skills training, including networking and soft-skills support; relate to existing or complementary market analysis with a focus on potential opportunities as well as existing opportunities; train female beneficiaries on homestead gardening and support with seeds in collaboration with the Department of Agricultural Extension in growing nutritious crops, as well as train using local  techniques of safe food storage; linking job market and local production expanding food and handicraft markets aiming to sustainably improve food security and nutrition. No specialized human resource SJA was used for this project. The project staff was trained on how to develop and implement cost-effective food security and livelihood programs in collaboration with others. The most innovations of the SJA team were adding resources through collaboration with GO/NGO service providers for skill-building training, material and business startup support, etc.
