Step 1 Vision<br />
Village shuras, farmer groups, producer associations, have<br />
proactively contributed to improve the well being of Rustaq’s rural<br />
households. Increased livelihood assets have opened them new,<br />
interesting <strong>and</strong> culturally acceptable livelihood options. Households<br />
<strong>and</strong> communities have taken up these opportunities <strong>and</strong> developed<br />
alternative farming pattern <strong>and</strong> health behaviours <strong>and</strong> practices.<br />
The exposure to the extreme vulnerability prevailing today has been<br />
mitigated; food security <strong>and</strong> health status of women <strong>and</strong> children<br />
have improved. Globally this has led to weaken some of the major<br />
threats on social wellbeing such as early marriage of girls, the<br />
practice of muzdur children <strong>and</strong> “<strong>for</strong>ced” migration of head of<br />
households.<br />
