Resumen

The National Alternative Livelihoods Policy is an instrument covering the period 2012-2024, whose overall goal is to strengthen and diversify legal rural livelihoods by tackling the root causes and drivers of dependency, on the part of subsistence and marginal farmers and laborers, on cultivation of narcotic crops including chronic unemployment, poverty, food insecurity, indebtedness to narco-entrepreneurs, and inequities in access to natural resources and funding opportunities. Specific objectives include (a) to assist farmers, laborers and rural communities affected by the Government’s counter narcotics campaigns with a package of comprehensive, locally-adapted and practical interventions which could alleviate poverty, food insecurity and have a lasting impact on livelihoods, and (b) to assist farmers, laborers and rural communities who have consciously decided not to engage in the production of narcotics, through direct cultivation or through supply of labor, with a package of comprehensive, practical and sustainable interventions. This Policy assumes that opium poppy cultivation has a direct relationship with insecurity and that it is a moving target in the sense that exerting coercive pressure in one area will force the cultivation to move to adjacent areas.
