In Brief: |
The
title of this Post-it Theme has been changed from Livelihoods Indicators
to Livelihoods Monitoring, Evaluation and Impact to better reflect
the broader discussion that has now developed.
NTFP
seeks insights in atributing "weighting" to the different
capitals. Do all five have the same potential to influence success?
Or is any one of them always going to be of overriding importance?
(see Elaine Marshall).
The
development of qualitative indicators of sustainable livelihoods
promises an exciting new angle on impact, but the complexity entailed
presents challenges (see Donal Brown).
A team has developed two sets of indicators for the sustainability
of farming-based livelihood systems in east and southern Africa.
Aim is to develop indicators which can be used to assess or monitor
the impact of policy and institutional change on these systems (see
David Howlett).
Monitoring without indicators may offer new ways to understand changes
in livelihoods. Here are some references and contacts for those
interested in exploring this approach further (see Rick Davies).
DFID's Sustainable Livelihoods Support Office wants to draw together
a series of case studies on livelihoods monitoring (see Liz Drake).
A team of scientists explore an indicator-based approach to impact
assessment in NRM, using the capital assets approach to livelihoods
as an organising principle (see Bruce Campbell).
Drafts of six new case studies, plus a synthesis paper, on monitoring
impact on livelihoods drawn together by the Sustainable Livelihoods
Support Office (SLSO) seeking your comments and suggestions (see
Liz Drake 15 March 2001).
DFID seminar series exploring how the impact of development is monitored,
evaluated and assessed at a range of levels, and how the measuring
and monitoring of poverty can also contribute to learning, accountability
and empowerment. Now
includes Summaries, Full Reports and Presentations (see
Liz Drake 17 May 2001).
Why the SL approach becomes inoperable without a means for direct
comparative measurement between the five capital assets, and options
for comparative valuation methods that could rescue the approach
(see Duncan MacQueen).
Pippa
Bird presents the outcomes of a Roundtable on Assets, Livelihoods
and Governance in April 2002 to share experience of asset-based
development approaches. Complimentarities between the various organisations
and approaches such as SLA, as well as the emerging potential for
collaboration were discussed.
