Abstract
The concept of social capital has provided a better understanding of how best to achieve development goals through collaboration of a multifaceted society. Social capital integration has been popularly used in International Development (ID) parlance. Social capital is a key but hidden factor that can make a critical difference in productivity and subsequent poverty alleviation. Social capital is important in improving the livelihoods of rural people directly and indirectly through increase in access to goods and services. In order to achieve socio-economic development and to address the needs in a society, a multi-disciplinary approach must be applied, with due regard for the political, economic and social dimensions of development, links is seen as one of the key initiatives that is needed for attainment of Sustainable Development Goals. The ultimate goal of most development projects is to reduce poverty and improve social well-being. Infrastructure development projects of various types – such as roads, hospitals, and schools; large dams to supply water for drinking as well as agriculture; energy for growing industries - have provided improvements and benefits for many people’s lives. Understanding how livelihoods are constructed and maintained can provide insight into ways that members of households make a living within their broader environmental context. Social capital is increasingly recognized as important in influencing economic development, establishment of safe neighborhoods and well-functioning communities.
