(Research Area Sarwak,Malaysia) Topic: Impacts on livelihood strategies and economical sustainability, without governmental assistance, in Kampong Subang, Sarawak, Malaysia. The report presents the findings of the study carried out in the Kampong Subang, Malaysia. The main objective of the study was to know about the livelihood strategies and sustainability of the village without government assistance. People are involved with four major activities IADP, own agriculture, work outside the village and FELCRA. The report explains the complete analysis of these four main activities. IADP and FELCRA are governmental projects; playing an important role in the livelihood strategies of the villagers. The possibility for the villagers’ to have their own land and perform their own agricultural production have shown to be an important reason for staying in the village and not migrate to urban areas. The government provides different kinds of assistance in the form of subsidies to the farmers. Despite the assistance and support by the government the village cannot sustain their economic stability without governmental assistance.
