  1. LIVELIHOODS ASSET STATUS TRACKING(Group members: Heny, Rehana, Lulu, Kenneth, Rupleka and Evelyn)

  2. Introduction • LAST is a rapid means of scoring the combined livelihood asset status of households that can be used as a proxy for impact on livelihoods . • A method for rapidly assessing emerging impacts in livelihood improvement projects that follow a process approach . • It converts qualitative assessments of household capital assets to quantitative scores that can be aggregated for different levels of analysis within an area and over time.

  3. The Last Method-definition • A rapid impact-monitoring system designed along with primary stakeholders and bases on the Sustainable Rural Livelihoods conceptual frame work. • It is intended to track the ongoing dynamics of five capital assets essential to household livelihoods as a proxy for impact (Bond and Mukherjee, 2000).

  4. Concerned with monitoring not only of achievements of planned projects outputs BUT Higher level project impacts normally needed to achieve project purpose or goal.

  5. Last Process At least two workshops required- • Developing the system and field testing • For refining or fine tuning the system following the field tests

  6. Workshop No.1 • Introduction of SRL conceptual frame work • The five capitals for livelihood are explained with the processes, structures, strategies, outcome and vulnerability aspects . • Brain-storming sessions to identify appropriate local words and descriptions. • Generation of checklist in which, people’s livelihood activities and criteria are mapped and resources associated with such activities are identified.

  7. Analysis to identify criteria

  8. Based on the criteria for each capital in the matrix above, a range of ‘word pictures’ is constructed for the Livelihood Asset Status Matrix . • Word pictures representing a number of realistic stages from worst known situation to best within the area.

  9. Word Picture of Household' s Access/ownership of Natural Resources

  10. Allocation of scores to word pictures completes the LAST assessment sheet. • Test on the scoring can be conducted under field conditions using three enumerators present simultaneously during assessment but scoring independently.

  11. LAST Method • Helps in impact assessment more as a learning activity rather than a policing tool. • Provides project management with a simple means of detecting change at the purpose or goal levels of a livelihood enhancement project • Information generated is owned and used at field level for the purpose of on-going managerial learning
