| INDICATOR 4: # of sustainable enterprises supported contributing to FNS&CR outcomes | |
| Why this indicator? What will it measure and provide information for? Ending poverty cannot be achieved without a local development environment which ensures stable, competitive, and improved production; increased service provision; and equal market access opportunities for men, women, and youth. Markets must work with and for the poorest to ensure productive and profitable livelihoods that can alleviate poverty. This is to encourage the use of a market based mechanism to sustain our work in development. |
