The SLA has not been discussed in the academic literature; the literature reviewed here therefore includes mainly documents, reports produced by donor agencies, NGOs, independent reports contracted by these organizations and discussions posted on web-sites. ANR issues on the other hand have received much coverage in the academic literature; but none of this has been related to SLA. Most of the papers and documents reviewed here are available on-line and most even have annotations on line; I have included full references only for those papers that are not available on-line. The following are some useful web-sites for tracking SLA in relation to major development themes; none of these are specific to ANR issues so apart from looking up the references in this paper, the reader has to trawl the sites.
www.livelihoods.org is a web-site dedicated specifically to the advancement and development of the SLA funded by the Department for International Development and managed by the Institute of Development Studies. It includes a list of key documents on SLA (including the SL Guidance Sheets) and organizations working on SL issues. The web-site hosts discussion groups and publishes the proceedings of DfID funded seminars on key development themes; including natural resource management and the environment. The web-site includes a lessons section in which lessons from the field are collected and analysed and a regular email update.
www.ids.ac.uk has two useful web-sites that review and annotate recent literature on development. One is the eldis site and the other is the ID21 service; both can be searched for literature on SLA and sustainable development.
www.dfid.gov.uk this web-site will have official documents on SLA published by the DfID but most of the non-official reports produced by DfID will be available on the three sites mentioned above.
www.undp.org/sl is another useful web-site on general SL Issues. This site has information on the poverty-environment initiative which has some good overview reports on ANR issues, though these are mainly sectoral reports and not specific to SLA.
www.oneworld.org/ecdpm/index.htm is good for policy and institutional issues.
http://www.odi.org.uk/rpeg/srls.html provides information on ODI's work on Sustainable Livelihoods
www.odi.org.uk/nrp the Natural Resource Perspective Papers have useful recent updates on ANR issues; the Working Papers published by ODI have been running a special series on Sustainable Livelihoods. ODI also published Key Issues papers on Development; many of these have ANR themes.
www.iied.org has information on the research project 'Institutionalising Participatory Approaches and Processes for Natural Resource Management' managed by the IIED Rural Livelihoods and Environment Group.
www.deliveri.org describes the experiences of the Decentralised Livestock Services in Indonesia Project, which developed and tested a range of improved, more client-oriented approaches to livestock service provision and management at field, district and national levels. This site is interesting as DELIVERI is one of the projects most often cited as having made positive use of the SLA.
