Seminar: Sustainable Livelihoods and pro-poor market facilitation

Hosted by the Centre for Development Studies (CDS) at the University of Bath, UK on 21st July 2009.

This seminar will focus on the ways in which recent approaches to pro-poor market development relate to and interact with sustainable livelihoods concepts and approaches. In particular it will seek to address the following questions:
·         What are the overlaps, synergies, tensions and divergences between SLA and pro-poor market development analysis and approaches?
·         How effective have pro-poor market development approaches been in developing sustainable and scalable strategies for livelihoods promotion and what are the lessons and insights that this work has generated?
·         How does the current financial and economic crisis challenge or reinforce the understanding of market development on which these approaches are based?
