Use of Sustainable Livelihoods Approaches
In the Andean region, emerging local-level peasant ‘economic’
organisations (‘Organizaciones económicas campesinas,
or OECs/OECAs), with a specific sectoral or technology focus play
a role in supporting the livelihoods of peasant producers. Little
is known of strengths and weaknesses of these organisations. This
project seeks to discover whether the livelihoods of local people,
particularly poorer households, can be better supported by focusing
on these economic institutions. It analyses whether current policies
support these organisations, and identifies practical options to
effectively strengthen support for peasant livelihoods.
Through case studies, the objectives are:
- To
better understand the role of peasant economic organisations as
part of production systems in Bolivia, and their relation with
public policy
- To
identify the effects that this type of organisation have and could
have on peasant families and communities
- To
identify alternative public policies and processes that could
support and strengthen OECs
- To
identify public policies and processes which can obstruct and
limit the role of OECs
