Is it necessary to conduct livelihoods analysis for every group and situation?
No. It is clearly not feasible to conduct such exhaustive analysis. It is, however, important to understand the main social, political and economic axes that divide groups of people and to gain a sense of how these affect their livelihoods. SL approaches provide no blueprint formulae for how to go about planning and executing development activity. Strong leadership and analytical skills are at a premium, and these must be employed from the beginning to decide where to ‘stop’ in the data gathering and analysis process.
