Institutional Support for Sustainable Rural Livelihoods in Southern Africa: Framework and Methodology
(2000) Goldman, Ian; Carnegie, James; Marumo, Moscow; Marumo, David; Kela, Elaine; Ntonga, Somi; Mwale, Ed
"This paper reports on work carried out in Zimbabwe, Zambia and South Africa, which used a Sustainable Livelihoods approach to assess the impact of policy and services on poverty. It used the approach in following through a 'vertical transect' of the public administration from village to central ministries. As a result the sustainable livelihoods framework has been adapted into one for examining institutional issues. This first paper addresses the conceptual issues and methodological learnings of undertaking this type of audit. Paper 50 in this series summarises the key findings from the four case study countries/provinces."

"Sustainable livelihood (SL) approaches provide a fresh optic in poverty analysis. This paper reports on work carried out with partners in Zimbabwe, Zambia and South Africa by Khanya-- managing rural change and funded by the UK's Department for International Development. Paper 49 in this series addresses the conceptual issues and methodological learnings from this type of SL audit. This second paper summarises the key findings from the four case study countries/provinces according to levels of support and action, types of organisation, policy issues and the process of managing change to promote SLs."
Reform of Forestry Advisory Services: Learning from Practice in Uganda
(2004) Harrison, Mike; Ssabaganzi, Rebecca; Goldman, Ian; Carnegie, James
"Finding sustainable and value-adding models for agricultural/NR services which reach poor communities has proved problematic. Privatisation appears more viable with commodities or enterprises that can easily be converted into cash, and more difficult where it is concerned with the broad range of benefits that are sought from natural resource (NR) management--which range from the commercial, through the risk- and vulnerability-reducing, to the environmental, and frequently have public goods components. This paper captures these dilemmas by focusing on forestry extension for poor farmers, both on-farm and in forest areas. It describes the piloting of reforms in forest advisory services in Uganda, identifying livelihood opportunities and relevant service demands, exploring different kinds of services, and using community-based workers for delivering services. Early experience suggests lessons on the roles of and relations between individuals and institutions may have much wider relevance."
