To conclude this series and give a flavour of some of the themes explored across the previous nine blogs, this post presents a series of five cases offering in-depth reflections on how livelihoods are composed across a range of activities and in response to a variety of challenges.
The cases highlight some of the experiences of different young people in our sample, both men and women, although the photos I am afraid are not linked to the cases. All are trying to put together a livelihood from different sources, with ‘projects’ with at least some access to land being absolutely central.
This article is from Zimbabweland, a blog written by IDS Research Fellow Ian Scoones. Zimbabweland focuses on issues related to rural livelihoods and land reform in Zimbabwe.
