Profile
The Trust For Sustainable Livelihoods is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation registered in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago under the Companies Act (1995). Our scope of work is focused primarily on the English speaking Caribbean and targets government agencies, non-governmental organisations, inter-governmental agencies, community groups and the private sector.
Mission
The mission of the Trust is to help people in the Caribbean better manage the natural resources on which their livelihoods depend.
Governance
The Trust is governed by a Board of Directors, selected by the membership at the Annual General Meeting. The day-to-day operations is managed by a Secretariat comprising the Managing Director, Programme Coordinator and other support staff. Specialists from within the Trust's network (academics, technical experts and individuals) may assist the Managing Director in an advisory capacity or for implementation of selected activities.
The market for our services
Caribbean communities have utilized and continue to depend on wetland, coral reef and forest goods and services. Despite management interventions, much of these resources have not been used sustainably.
There is still a large discrepancy between commitments and action among government departments and NGOs; in part, due to severe cutbacks in funding to public agencies, and a lack of, or inadequate capacity to mobilise resources and to implement targeted strategies.
Hence, the Trust's approach will be to provide technical assistance and help build capability within these organisations and targeted communities for efficient and effective natural resources management, and improved livelihood outcomes.
