2000 Sustainable Livelihoods Fora: Background

A series of four one-day Fora on Sustainable Livelihoods for consultants working with, or interested in working with, DFID, were held between May and October 2000. The fora were organised by the Centre For International Development Training and funded by the Sustainable Livelihoods Support Office DFID. Participants were encouraged to reflect on the underlying principles of SL approaches and to consider the implications of the approaches for their own work and self-development. The events provided a valuable opportunity for 187 consultants to familiarise themselves with developments within DFID, share experiences and concerns and to network with other professionals from different sectors/disciplines.
