The Balochistan Livelihoods and Entrepreneurship Project (BLEP) has been implemented to address the pressing need for employment opportunities and sustainable enterprises in select districts of Balochistan, primarily focusing on the agriculture and food sectors. By contributing to various practice areas such as climate change, gender equality, and urban development, BLEP aims to uplift rural communities and enhance their livelihoods. Through careful monitoring and evaluation, the project has established key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure its impact on direct beneficiaries, job-focused interventions, and enterprise profitability. With allocated funds for economic mobilization, enterprise development, and project management, BLEP is committed to delivering tangible outcomes for an estimated 56,610 households, including refugees, residing in areas hosting refugee populations.
