Use of Sustainable Livelihoods Approaches
The
research project draws on the Sustainable Livelihoods framework
and the Household Economy approach (HEA) - to understand the nature
of water-livelihood changes at the household level, and best practices
for the elimination of poverty through water supply interventions.
SecureWater's key policy is the development of more demand-responsive
approaches (DRA) to water supply development.
Of
key concern is how livelihood outcomes are affected by changes in
the nature of water supply at the household level, the extent to
which these factors are currently addressed in existing policies,
and how DRA design and implementation can be enhanced to facilitate
sustainable financing at the household and community level.
Their key goal is to develop SL-based decision-support tools for
use in water sector development plans in India and Sri Lanka by
the end of 2004.
