Case study
This research provides a case study of the use of an integrated participatory approach to establish conditions for livelihood resilience in Goro Gutu, Ethiopia. A qualitative approach was used to understand perceptions and practices of community members, government and non-governmental facilitators. Results indicate that whilst the approach is valuable in engaging previously isolated communities, misunderstandings of the approach itself may undermine risk reduction actions taken to address livelihood resilience. This study argues that further training on the concepts and best practices is required to improve the sustainability of risk reduction measures.
