Meer info This book presents a holistic approach to poverty eradication that places the priorities of the poor at the helm of development planning & action. A sustainable livelihoods approach shifts the focus from the 'needs' of the poor to their assets, adaptive strategies & entitlements. This methodology empowers the poor to analyse their circumstances, identify their priorities & launch their own development initiatives. Emphasizing livelihoods rather than jobs, the book points out the difference between sustainable livelihoods & integrated rural development, which is largely donor-driven. Using experiences in Malawi, Zimbabwe & Ethiopia as examples, the book details the Participatory Assessment & Planning for Sustainable Livelihoods methodology, or PAPSL. It also defines three key elements which the poor must have access to if their homegrown development plans are to be successful: science & technology, investments & financial services, & sound governance & policies. Sustainable Livelihoods: Building on the Wealth of the Poor is an informal handbook for development professionals. At the same time, it is written in an accessible, journalistic style for anyone concerned about effectively reducing poverty.
* Takes a holistic, grassroots approach to poverty eradication
* Draws on experience in Malawi, Zimbabwe, and Ethiopia
* Written in an accessible, journalistic style

This book positions the priorities of the poor at the front of development planning and action, instead of on the back burner of world issues. Through the Participatory Assessment and Planning for Sustainable Livelihoods, or PAPSL, the authors empower the poor to analyze their own circumstances, identify their own priorities, and launch development initiatives.

The authors outline three key elements which the poor must have access to if their homegrown development plans are to come to fruition: science and technology, investments and financial services, and sound governance and policies. Put simply, Sustainable Livelihoods is an informal, yet invaluable handbook for development professionals.
