Description
This report examines the specific linkages between markets and the livelihoods of the poor in Da Nang, utilizing the perspective of the poor, in an attempt to understand the limits in access to markets by the poor and to recommend ways of making markets accessible to them. The purpose of the research in Da Nang was to undertake a livelihood analysis, examining the interaction between livelihoods and markets from the perspective of poor groups and those who participate in markets, and the opportunities created to enable markets to operate in propoor and sustainable ways. This process will result in recommendations for supportive solutions to bring more and better opportunities for the poor to participate in markets. The research was based on the work of Dorward and Poole, who examined the relationship between livelihoods, markets, and poverty reduction from an initial perspective of livelihood, and identified the role of markets in livelihood and economic development.
Methods for info gathering
Through in-depth interviews, the research team collected information, ideas, and point of views from different target groups at different levels, including household enterprises, large-scale enterprises, and local authorities at different levels.
Summary of results
The research findings have helped define a new approach in hunger eradication and poverty reduction, which incorporate markets into the livelihood of poor. The poor should be supported from a variety of perspectives, from local authorities (by providing assistance) and from markets, which can serve as a ¿driver¿ for the poor to escape poverty. Hunger eradication and poverty reduction should actively apply the approach ¿designing, maintaining and developing a sustainable livelihood¿. This is very difficult, but it is more useful for the poor than the current supporting pattern.
