Common Challenges to Coastal Sustainable Livelihoods

When it comes to implementing livelihoods, there are some challenges that both you and businesses may face that may arise during community baseline assessments or SWOT analysis. These could include a shortage of Infrastructure Capital, Human Capital – e.g., business skills – and Financial Capital, or the lack of an Enabling Environment, notably from formal institutions. In addition, different groups in the community, such as youth or women, may have limited access to capacity building, financing, or other factors that support enterprise development.
