The Project Development Objective (PDO) would be to improve the livelihoods, quality of life and resilience to climate variability, natural hazards and other shocks of the rural poor, especially the left-out poor and vulnerable households.

- Reduce vulnerability of the poor to risks, in particular those associated with natural hazards and climate variability;
- Increase employment opportunities by enhancing skills, supporting the start up or expansion of income generating activities, and strengthening access to markets and financial institutions; and
- Support small-scale demand-driven community investment sub-projects that are prioritized, implemented and managed directly by the rural poor.
