As currently designed, the LAT is aimed collecting information - at community level and the existing livelihood groups - on people’s ability to make a living before and after sudden onset natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes and tsunamis. The LAT consists of three interrelated assessment tools: Livelihood Baseline (LB), Initial Livelihood Impact Appraisal (ILIA), and Detailed Livelihood Assessment (DLA). This resource is part of the collection "Empowering local livelihoods through cash-based programming". Collections are monitored daily and new content is added.
