The indicators and methods can be used in: appraisal of possible developments of new technology in research projects; prioritisation and design of potential changes and interventions to improve the livelihoods of poor livestock keepers; ongoing participatory monitoring and evaluation of projects seeking to improve the livelihoods of poor livestock keepers; and retrospective assessment of the impact of changes in livestock keeping on livelihoods.
