Brief Description: Livelihood is an overarching theme of NCCR research in South Asia. The role of urban youth is becoming instrumental in any social, political, economic and environmental affairs. Therefore, combining these three dimensions, peace, livelihood security and urban youth provide fundamentally important opportunities for NCCR to enhance visibility, expand partnership and engage in new areas of research. The following sites are selected by considering the representation, interests of the local collaborators for assistance: Kathmandu/Nepal (Youth and Peace), Male/the Maldives (Youths’ Role in Climate Change Mitigation), Mumbai-India (Youths and Alternative Livelihoods Generation), Colombo/Sri Lanka (Youth and Peace), Thimpu-Bhutan (Youth and Resource-based Social Disputes). This research is internally financed from the core budget of South Asia Regional Coordination Office of NCCR North-South.
