and disseminated. The LI must be further explored in longitudinal studies in order
to determine if distribution networks with strong emphasis on local livelihood
enhancement do indeed lead to longer project lifelines. Furthermore, the livelihood
index may be refined to better capture prospects for upward mobility, aspirational
employment, and entry into high level networks – all features of gainful employment mentioned by the GACC in their conceptual framework but poorly captured
here. Still, the LI is useful as a starting point for considering how and why
seemingly similar projects perform so differently in the field. These cases give
weight to the view that distribution models deserve more attention in pro-poor
policy design.
