Methodological Framework. An internal scoping report of the project Strategies for Increasing Human Resilience in Sudan: Lessons for Climate Change Adaptation in North and East Africa Erika Spanger-Siegfried; Bill Dougherty; Nagmeldin Goutbi; Balgis Osman (2005) What is the role of sustainable livelihoods (SL) approaches in increasing people’s resilience to climate change? Which SL strategies have worked in facilitating adaptation at community levels, and why? This Assessments of Impacts and Adaptations of Climate Change (AIACC) working paper sets out the rationale and methods for a project to identify and explore SL interventions which have successfully increased a community’s resilience to today’s climate-related shocks in Sudan. It hypothesises that sustainable livelihoods can fill the practical and conceptual gap between local vulnerability to climate change and national / intergovernmental policy processes. The project is particularly concerned with: Involving the community to develop a comprehensive picture of the ‘success’ of a given activity in increasing a community’s resilience. Developing methods for measuring the impact of SL interventions on communities, combining use of the livelihoods asset status tracking system, and the SL framework’s use of assets. To achieve these the project will: Construct sample indicators around the five capital assets representing a balance between productivity, equity and sustainability, and guide community members through a process of refining and revising these sample indicators. Develop the policy process analysis from early in the project, guided by a distinct step within the project format, to build understanding of how existing policy supports or inhibits sustainable livelihoods activity.
