Adapting and Applying the SL approach in Brazil

Brazilianising the SL Approach
Gail Marzetti, DFID Brazil, October 2001
A synthesis of four SLA workshops held in Brazil during 2001. The workshops presented the SL approach to project staff and partner organisations as a tool for analysing poverty and discussed how participants could adapt SL principles and the SL framework, in order to better reflect local realities in Brazil.

Brazilianising the SLA and linking rights and livelihoods approaches
Gail Marzetti, DFID Brazil, December 2002
Since the paper 'Brazilianising the SL Approach' was written in October 2001 the Brazilian version of the SLA has continued to be widely disseminated and applied. This paper presents some aspects of DFID Brazil's work in taking forward SLAs and linking these with rights-based approaches to create tools for both conceptual and practical aspects of programme work.

Linking Rights and Livelihoods: insights from experience in Brazil
Kath Pasteur and Alex Shankland, IDS, December 2002
This background paper for a DFID Brazil SL stock-taking workshop in September 2002 draws lessons and insights from literatures, approaches and experience with rights-based approaches that add considerable value to SL thinking.
