Disasters like flood and river bank erosion are directly interconnected with food insecurity and vulnerability of livelihood. Floods hazard shatter agricultural, livestock and agriculture assets, inputs and production capacity. They interrupt market access, trade and food supply, reduce income, deplete savings and erode livelihoods. Disasters create poverty traps that increase the prevalence of food insecurity and malnutrition.The vulnerable livelihood programme seeks to improve food security and support livelihood of target communities by providing productive assets for livelihood and building resilience even when they are disrupted by disasters.
