Sustainable Livelihoods and Energy
(Andrew Barnett: Sussex Research Associates Ltd)
15 February 2001

I attach a set of tables that take the terms and categories used in the DFID version of the Livelihood Framework and match them with perceptions of how they link to the energy sector.

I seek the comments from SL/poverty specialists as to whether they find this useful, and suggestions as to how it might be improved.

While the SL stresses links (and distancing itself from "integrated rural development") it does surprise me that people think that they can reduce poverty without improving access to improved energy services (and a lot else besides).
