'Goodbye to Projects?' is a DFID-funded research project (Apr 01-Dec 03) exploring the institutional implications of adopting a sustainable livelihoods approach to the planning, implementation and assessment of development interventions.

Using case studies from a range of development interventions in South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda, it will consider what aspects of sustainable livelihoods approaches are being utilised and how they are being incorporated into the management of interventions.

The aim is to broaden our understanding of whether (and if so, why) adopting a sustainable livelihoods approach makes development interventions more effective in reducing poverty.

It will also consider the place for sustainable livelihoods approaches in varying types of development interventions (projects, programmes and sector-wide approaches).
