How does SL helps to select project activities?
SL approaches are not prescriptive about the nature of project activity. SL analysis helps highlight key strengths and also major constraints to livelihoods. It should therefore suggest a range of possible project activities. These can be narrowed down using existing appraisal tools (for example, cost-benefit analysis) and by making judgments about feasibility, existing strengths and partners’ areas of expertise. Project activities are eventually chosen through dialogue with local people and development partners.
