TWO IMAGES
Shocks: Sudden events which undermine livelihoods. These include retrenchment, the death of an economically active household member, as well as the impact of hazards such as drought, floods or other extreme weather events, which are often made worse by mismanagement of the environment. Stresses: Ongoing pressures which face households and individuals. These include long-term hunger and limited access to essential services such as health or water supplies. Another stress is the degrading of the natural resource base, something, which may force people to travel further for fuel and other natural resources.
The theoretical framework for this intervention drew on work done on urban livelihoods, Paulo Friere’s adult learning, social anthropology and the reflect methodology. Sustainable Livelihoods is a people-centred, participatory and responsive approach to development. SL based programmes starts from where individuals, households and communities currently are, in relation to their livelihoods, and builds from there. This ensures that people - and their current, existing strengths (assets) - are built upon. Stresses are chronic – they include hunger, the fear of violence, unemployment Shocks , are acute - such as shack fires, evictions, rape, theft. Assets – whether they are financial (grants or microfinance loans), physical (a house that does not leak), social (community groups), act as buffers - they enable an individual, household or community to cope with , and recover from , stresses and shocks A SL approach involves assisting individuals to obtain additional assets (strengths) and build these in order to access and obtain additional resources. By continuously building and developing this asset base, an individual is better able to cope with shocks and stresses encountered on a daily basis. ---------------------------- Need to be imaginitave, creative Multi-disciplinary Adult educations Participatroy rural appraisals Reflect Social anth Livelihoods Understand and draw to create a strong theoretical framework Adjusted from various literature etc S ustainable livelihoods (SL) is a people-centred, participatory and responsive approach to development. A sustainable livelihood is “ a livelihood that can cope with and recover from stresses and shocks and maintain or enhance its capabilities and assets both now and in the future…. ” (Carney, 1998)

Okay, now some thought on your arguments in the slides. I am a little uneasy about the slide depicting sources of income. What is important here is that you make the argument that although based on deriving an income in some way, urban livelihoods are diverse (in terms of income sources, income activities in both the informal and formal sectors, diverse family members involved in different activities, the “unpaid” role of child-care and food preparation, etc). My worry is that this slide oversimplifies what these livelihoods look like. Am I being to finickity?

And finally, although the DDS revealed a generally low diversity of diet, recent studies by WFP and the VAM show that in fact urban diets are generally more diverse that the rural “sending” areas. I’ll source these studies for you. Good to reflect on this and to mention that another study would bring in this dimension.
Another “missing slide” for the workshop (I know I am increasing the presentation) is on the policy engagement/ influence process that you have facilitated. This is key for our stakeholders. In this regard please make mention of the advisory group, your connections and engagement with the City, your plans for future dissemination (through WV and the possibility of extra funds from them for this). I can’t express strongly enough that this argument is key; Renewal is committed to policy dialogue and trying to show how research might influence responses to HIV/FS. I can help with this if necessary, possibly even bringing I into the earlier section
