Small Ethnic Minorities
The Social Development Foundation (SDF) is committed to empowering small ethnic minorities like the Garo, Shaotal, Rakhaine, Hajong,Bormon, Dalu, Banai, Mahatu and Rajbongshi, among others. By fostering sustainable livelihoods through agriculture, livestock, and fishing activities, SDF enhances their economic resilience. Leadership development is prioritized, with many community members, including women, actively participating in decision-making and producer groups. SDF conducts participatory processes like the Participatory Identification of Poor (PIP) to ensure inclusion, with specific focus on indigenous groups. By promoting skills development and self-reliance, SDF ensures that these communities achieve greater social inclusion and long-term stability.
SDF follows a comprehensive approach to support these communities:
- Identification of Ethnic Minorities in project areas.
- Preparation of an Ethnic Minority Development Plan based on local area, community, culture, and livelihood through the Community-Driven Development (CDD) approach.
- Organization Development of ethnic communities to strengthen their capacities and promote active participation.
- Identifying Drought-Resistant/Adaptive Livelihoods to ensure long-term sustainability.
- Skill Development Training on Alternative Livelihoods to diversify income sources.
- Formation of Producer Groups (PGs) focused on livestock, cow rearing, and agriculture activities, providing SEC members, particularly Garo, Garat, and Shaotol, opportunities for economic growth and community leadership.
- Job Placement for Graduated Trainees to improve employment prospects.
- Building Long-Term Resilience by enhancing community sustainability and capacity building.
Through these initiatives, SDF is enhancing the socio-economic standing of small ethnic communities, ensuring their active participation in local development and leadership, and creating opportunities for economic and social empowerment.
