Applying livelihood approaches to natural resource management initiative: Namibia & Kenya (pdf 130kb)

This working paper is one of a series that covers practical applications of Sustainable Livelihood (SL) approaches within natural resources management. The papers provide substantial case study material of varied practical experiences, combined with reflection on the emerging findings concerning uses of SL.

It reviews different uses of livelihoods analysis in four projects/programmes and identifies lessons learnt on the application of a livelihoods approach. All four examples explored how rural livelihoods affect and are affected by natural resource management (NRM) initiatives.

The underlying theme in the four examples is:
- Exploration of the links between rural livelihoods;
- Common property resource management (CPRM), looking at the influence of livelihood strategies on CPRM
- How CPRM interventions affect livelihoods.
