Making Services Work for Poor People
TL;DR: The authors examines the experience with alternative mechanisms for service delivery, contracting out to the private and NGO sectors, community participation, co-financing by service beneficiaries and shows that this, as well as the experience of more traditional public sector provision, can be interpreted by looking at three principal-agent relationships in the service-delivery chain: between policymakers and providers, between clients and providers; and between clients (as citizens) and policymakers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Putting the principles of the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach into fisheries development policy and practice
TL;DR: The SLA has been widely used in coastal and fisheries development research and has informed the design of development programmes but experience of operationalising it remains largely undocumented as mentioned in this paper. But it has helped to align fisheries policy with wider poverty reduction initiatives and to identify means of contributing to poverty reduction that do not directly increase pressure on fully or over-exploited fish resources.
