ABOUT GOA LIVELIHOODS
Goa Livelihoods Forum is a nonprofit think tank dedicated to the all-round development of Goa, with a strategic focus on Livelihoods, in consonance with the State’s priorities. GLF has been nurtured by FIDR with support from diverse stakeholders of Goa. The Forum includes community representatives, sector experts, professionals, corporates, entrepreneurs and all willing contributors to and volunteers for the socio-economic well being of the state. GLF is founded on the principle that quality of life is intrinsically related to the pursuit of livelihood and that the pursuit of livelihood of choice is more valuable for those at the bottom rung of the economic ladder.
