The social, institutional and political setting is of critical importance to achieving improved livelihoods, environmental sustainability and strengthened resilience. By supporting an enabling environment for policy making and implementation of sustainable development, our theme contributes to the strengthening of community-level institutions that are the basis of sustainable livelihoods and which provide access to external markets and institutions.
SEI helps to:
- advance knowledge on livelihoods improvement and social change with particular emphasis on governance and institutional dynamics;

- promote collective action, empowerment, knowledge sharing and learning across stakeholders;
- facilitate multi-stakeholder participation in policy processes to support social learning, adaptation, resilience, livelihoods development and the transformation of communities towards sustainable development pathways.
