Strengthening livelihood assets and the enabling environment is important to improve poor people’s livelihoods. The ALF helps understand local contexts and risks and can guide us together with community, to derive a more sustainable solution. The ALF, is an extension of the disaster resistant sustainable livelihoods framework (Practical Action & RDPI for Duryog Nivaran, 2005) and focuses on livelihood assets and strengthening these assets in a changing climate.
