    1. The Way we Live: Livelihood Systems in the Sahel AIACC_AF92 Presented at the Africa Regional Workshop, South Africa March 10-13, 2003

    2. Basic Questions What are the various livelihood systems of the rural people in the Sahel? Who can achieve a sustainable livelihood, and who cannot in the face of climate change? What resources, institutions and strategies are important for enabling the options open to the rural poor in the Sahel to adapt to climate change? What practical, operational and policy implications stem from adopting this approach?

    3. Defining Livelihood Livelihoods are the ways people make a living, including how they distribute their productive resources and the types of activities in which they are engaged. The decisions people make about how to organize their livelihoods may incorporate a whole range of goals and values, e.g. an individual’s preference for agricultural work over pastoral work. Some of these goals and values are influenced by cultural norms. Therefore, it is relevant to consider the cultural context of how people in a society structure their livelihoods.
