This paper provides a new construction of the Sustainable Livelihood Framework. Underlying
the need for this reconstruction is the persisting argument that the framework is too micro, too
household focused, thereby limiting its utility as a micro-macro analytical tool for policy analysis
and impact evaluation. In so doing, this paper elaborated assets in the framework on the basis of
the degree of user rights that households are able to exercise rather than the form in which they
exist. The paper also introduced the concept of relative cumulative effect to present more
rigorous understanding of households’ influence on society’s sustainable development trajectory.
On these bases, sustainable livelihood is theorized as endogenously determined by the balance
between households’ livelihood expectations and the evolutionary path that institutions follow as
they respond to households’ cumulative feedback. This framework thus provide a context for
providing household-based understanding of institutional evolution and livelihood formation vis-
à-vis micro/macro-interventions. |
