Abstract:
"Sustainability" in Development, has brought forth in the last decade, the inevitability of engaging with "sustainable livelihoods", as the corner stone of social efforts. Without sustainable livelihoods being ensured, results of developmental investments and efforts, vanish as water in desert sands, leading to a resurgence of erstwhile contexts and plight. The whole context calls for a fundamental relook at the socio-economic values and systems, we have relied upon for centuries, with regard to livelihoods. In developing countries where social security systems are absent, circumstances are all the more acute. A distinguishing feature of it all, is the inevitability of "Entrepreneurship", as the way forward and herein lies an arena for non-profits in the coming two decades, to engage with.
