Collaborative Solutions for the Wellbeing of Informal Workforces and Street Vendors

Upfront, through its platform approach, particularly as part of the COVID Action Collaborative, has partnered with 13 organisations to reach 801,003 informal workers and street vendors across India over the past two years, focusing on the wellbeing of informal workforces.
In 2021, we supported MEPMA – Government of Telangana, enhancing their efforts towards the well-being of street vendors during the COVID-19 pandemic. We developed initiatives such as “Smart Vending” to protect street vendors during the pandemic and highlighted the connection between health and livelihoods, ensuring the well-being of informal workforces.
The Street Vendor and Informal Workforce organisations have been actively involved in COVID-19 prevention, care, and management, vaccination drives, raising awareness about social protection schemes, and promoting digital financial literacy.
