“…First, our findings highlight the importance of ensuring access to rural financial services as a means of promoting economic production. Previous studies have shown that providing rural finance to small‐scale producers in developing countries contributes to increased production and sales (Hossain et al, 2022; McKenzie et al, 2017; Mullally & Chakravarty, 2018; Mullally & Maffioli, 2016). Our findings correspond with the findings in this strand of literature but offer additional insights from communities affected by a natural disaster followed by livelihood recovery efforts.…”

Natural disasters affect economic activities and welfare of small‐scale producers in developing countries, but may also offer opportunities to reinvest in productive asset, economic capital, and new technologies for future economic prospects. This paper investigates the impacts of a livelihood recovery project that provided access to finance and rehabilitated communal infrastructures in the coastal communities of Tamil Nadu, India which were severely affected by the 2004 tsunami. We replicate the project's eligibility criteria to build the counterfactual to identify control households based on the validation of secondary data and administrative records. Using data from a carefully designed primary survey, we estimate the impacts of providing access to finance and rehabilitating communal infrastructures on economic and livelihood outcomes. Results indicate positive and significant impacts on income, asset and food security. These impacts are mainly driven by improved access to finance provided and participation in groups. Findings highlight the importance of ensuring access to finance for sustainable economic recovery among small‐scale producers, particularly in the aftermath of natural disasters.

“…In fact, there are different cases of cost-sharing programs in Ecuador such as 30% subsidy within the cattle repopulation and genetic improvement program (MAG, 2016), the 80% subsidy for certified seeds and fertilizers, among other commodities (ElTelegrafo, 2017), or the 50%, 70%, or 90% subsidy for operating costs in forest conservation (MAE, 2013). Farmers with financial aid could overcome implementation risks and current financial barriers, and where cost-sharing schemes can have long-lasting effects on farmers' livelihood (Hossain et al, 2022). Policymakers should devise cost-sharing plans, based primarily on the farmers' profiles and needs, to reduce high implementation costs.…”
