Policy Brief on Alternative Rural Livelihoods in South Africa

PESA was commissioned by Oxfam South Africa to conduct research into alternative livelihoods of communities in rural areas. The research involved fieldwork in Kwazulu-Natal, Limpopo and North West provinces of South Africa. The project aimed to build a better understanding of alternative rural livelihood (ARL) strategies and bringing it to strategically important audiences, build support for resistance and work towards state policies supportive of the livelihood strategies preferred by rural people.
