Sustainable Livelihoods Framework
The Sustainable Livelihoods Framework (SLF) is a tool used to analyze and enhance the livelihoods of individuals and communities. It focuses on the various assets people possess, such as natural, human, social, physical, and financial capital, which contribute to their ability to achieve sustainable living. The framework emphasizes the importance of understanding the context in which people operate, including vulnerabilities and opportunities.
SLF also considers the policies, institutions, and processes that affect livelihoods. By examining these factors, the framework helps identify strategies to improve resilience and reduce poverty, ensuring that communities can thrive while maintaining their environmental and social resources for future generations.
