Livelihood Pathways: Sequencing for Sustainable Market Integration of the Poorest

Blog posts have come to be recognized as a form of professional writing that can be consumed in real time and en masse by fellow practitioners.  They, like articles, can be digested quickly and provide a forum for a rapid exchange of ideas, debate, and clarification.  While I’ve written and shared quite a few through various sites, including my own,  I’ve been busy these last two years researching, documenting, and writing more formal technical pieces that I’m thrilled to report are under review for publishing.  On the first day of this new year, a case study on the ‘Livelihood Pathways for the Poorest’ project in Bihar, India was published by USAID's Microenterprise Development Office as part of a series under the Advanced Microenterprise Advancement Program (AMAP).  The publication, titled, 'Livelihood Pathways: Sequencing for Sustainable Market Integration of the Poorest,' details the flow of the integrated livelihoods model and how our interventions, products, and services are strategically sequenced to support the poorest's elevation out of poverty.  Please click here to access the full study.
