What are Livelihoods?
A livelihood comprises of assets and
activities required to sustain a person’s life.
Livelihood
Livelihood Assets
A livelihood is fueled by assets which often
interrelate. By increasing, protecting, or improving
access to one asset, your action could have
multiple areas of impact.
Livelihood Strategies
Livelihood strategies are the methods and
processes used to transform livelihood assets into
livelihood outcomes.
