The Secure Livelihoods Research Consortium has started to publish baseline survey reports for Uganda, Nepal and Pakistan, with more in the pipeline. These are attempts to catalogue people’s attitudes and perceptions of livelihoods support, access to basic services and economic opportunities, and governance.

Or maybe I’m just attracted to yellow and black logos.
Either way, the Secure Livelihoods Research Consortium has started to publish baseline survey reports for Uganda, Nepal and Pakistan, with more in the pipeline. These are attempts to catalogue people’s attitudes and perceptions around three basic but incredibly important themes.
- Their livelihoods (how they make ends meet, how they compromise when they can’t)
- Their access to economic opportunities and essential services (health, education, water, social safety nets);
- Their views of government (national and local).
These are a baseline because the researchers will be going back to track changes two to three years later. This makes for an even more valuable resource as we’ll go from having a snapshot of people’s opinions to being able to view trends over time…
