Can sustainable livelihood approaches add value to national level policy on poverty reduction? Andy Norton and Mick Foster (CAPE ODI)
have written a new paper for DFID discussing who livelihoods
approaches might be used in support of Poverty Reduction Strategy
Papers (PRSPS).
The
paper covers key policy uses of SLAs, origins and issues surrounding
PRSPs, how SLAs can be applied to the process and content
of PRSPs. Its major conclusion is that SLAs can improve PRSPs
by supporting processes of poverty diagnosis through introducing
a pluralism of methods and analytical viewpoints, bringing
focus to the causes of poverty and the equity of asset distribution,
not just of income.
Views
and experiences that would help to carry forward this engagement between livelihoods approaches and PRSPs, or indeed other
national level policy processes, would be welcome.
