State Of India\'s Livelihoods The 4 P Report

"Since the last year, ACCESS has been publishing the State of the India’s Livelihoods (SOIL) Report in collaboration with The Livelihoods School. This report is a one of its kind report and is the only document that aggregates experiences and challenges of the livelihoods sector, analyzes case studies, and reports the progress of both government and privately run programmes. It focuses on the 4 Ps - Poor, Policy environment, Potential and Promoters. It is an annual publication with specific themes each year addressing contemporary issues impacting livelihoods. The SOIL report collates and examines the existing livelihoods scenario in India and predicts the potential opportunities for the poor. The report also evaluates and presents the role of various promoters of livelihoods i.e., government, civil society and the private sector. This compendium gives a comprehensive analysis of the livelihoods perspective in India and provides a very good platform to further such efforts and thus provide better livelihoods to the poor.
 
SOIL 2009, rather than being academic, attempts to serve as a practical document providing learning to the practitioners. The themes of the report are based on contemporary topics, making in-depth analysis of issues and programmes and providing value added learning for practitioners."
