9Developing livelihood indicators
- Tendency to focus on outcome indicators (health
status, education, income and so forth static
measure of impact) - Indicators of vulnerability
- Start with understanding vulnerability context
and trends - Show changes over time
- May measure coping strategies
- Not stand alone
