Abstract

Peri-urban people can be helped to achieve positive changes in their livelihoods by interventions that promote certain actors and actions. In particular, support for local NGOs, community-based facilitators, participatory planning and improved access to credit, training and information all seem to help people to overcome the livelihoods challenges created by peri-urban conditions.
