Livelihoods Connect lessons, experience and views on sustainable livelihoods (M&E) from DFID

Case Studies on Livelihoods Monitoring
(Liz Drake: DFID) 15 March 2001

Drafts of six new case studies, plus a synthesis paper, on monitoring impact on livelihoods have been drawn together by the Sustainable Livelihoods Support Office (SLSO).

The case studies cover six countries in Africa and Asia in sectors including tourism, livestock, agricultural extension and research, vegetable and fish production and rainfed farming.

All aim to improve understanding of how to assess the impact of DFID interventions on the livelihoods of the poor.

Comments and suggestions on the draft materials are very welcome (including comments on gaps or suggestions on complimentary material) and can be sent to Susanne Clark at: s-clark@dfid.gov.uk
