“…According to the Department for International Development's (DFID) in the UK, rural families acquire resources from their natural, physical, social, financial, and human capitals to survive and develop under natural and social adversity (Colombo et al 2018). Compared to urban families, who have more wealth and more access to public services, rural families are more vulnerable under adversity because of uncertainty in the natural resources that are intrinsic to an agricultural economy (Baffoe and Matsuda, 2018).…”

“…However, people from families with more physical and financial capitals are more likely to have the perception of a cooperative family than an optimistic family. More physical capital indicates that rural families have more tangible properties, which are usually regarded as indirect economic resources (Colombo et al 2018). Therefore, there will be more discussion about how to use physical capital.…”

Family resilience is the capacity of a family to mitigate adversity using its resources, structure, and internal connections. In rural China, where sustainable livelihoods are changing rapidly because of urbanization and migration, it is not clear how family resilience interacts with sustainability of livelihoods. This study of rural Chinese families classifies individual’s perceived family resilience and discusses how sustainable livelihoods influence this classification. A multilevel survey of rural families reveals three categories of perceived resilience in families: perceived optimistic families, perceived cooperative families, and perceived pessimistic families. Sustainable livelihoods, including natural, social, financial, and human capitals, have significant impacts on this classification of perceived family resilience. We conclude that rural families in China vary in their levels of family resilience, and the more physical and financial capital they have, the more internal cooperation there is within families. The more natural and traditional social capital families have, the less internal cooperation there is within families. The more human resources families have, the more resilience they have.

“…Các khái niệm về sinh kế bền vững đã được sử dụng rộng rãi bởi nhiều nhà nghiên cứu, các tổ chức và các cơ quan sau khi được giới thiệu lần đầu tại Ủy ban của người dân, giảm thiểu rủi ro mất mùa, đảm bảo sử dụng tối đa tài nguyên thiên nhiên và do đó giảm thiểu rủi ro đến các sinh kế dễ bị tổn thương. Một Khung đánh giá tác động (impact evaluation framework -IEF) dựa trên khung sinh kế bền vững (sustainable livelihoods -SLF) dành cho việc đánh giá các dự án về phát triển năng lượng khi chúng thay đổi sinh kế của cộng đồng người dân tại Ethiopia đã được nghiên cứu bởi E. Colombo và cộng sự với mục đích xem IEF là một phương pháp hỗ trợ đánh giá trong phân bổ vốn hay định giá dự án và sinh kế 12 . Sinh kế bền vững cũng được nghiên cứu để đánh giá ý nghĩa của việc quản lý vệ sinh môi trường (Environmental sanitation management -ESM) đối với ba hoạt động sinh kế ven biển là đánh bắt cá, du lịch và sản xuất muối.…”

In this study, the approach of a sustainable livelihood framework following the guidance of the Department for International Development (DFID) is used to assess the livelihoods of people in rural areas of Tan Phuoc district, Tien Giang province. This is one of the acid sulphate soil areas of the Mekong Delta. Sustainable livelihood framework according to Department for International Development in the study will consider the assets of Tan Phuoc district people to ensure livelihoods including human capital, physical capital, financial capital, natural capital, and social capital. The results show that most of the capital for developing livelihoods of people in this area is poor (natural capital, human capital, social capital, financial capital), only physical capital is considered to meet the current development needs. They are the basis for proposing development orientations for Tan Phuoc district in the future, including socio-economic development, labor quality improvement and the number of professionally trained people. Besides, there are specific s upport policies for people and there are many sources of capital to help people access policies easily. To solve this problem, first of all, it is necessary to develop development plans of regions according to natural conditions, continue to improve the skills of local communities and provide specific support policies for livelihood activities. Attract many different sources of investment capital for the locality so that people can easily access, improve the income of local people in the future, especially need a population development strategy corresponding to the development conditions of the district. The analysis is based on aggregate collected data on the different types of livelihoods in the province, so they are of great overall value. However, this is also the basis for conducting detailed studies and investigations for further studies with the aim of having accurate information and correct assessment of the current livelihood status of each district and livelihood group.

The level of investment in mini-grids is limited by a lack of understanding of their social impacts. A paucity of published data exists on the issue, presenting a need for mature, betterintegrated monitoring and evaluation methodologies. Such social impact focussed data would provide a critical evidence base for supporting claims of the beneficial effects of mini-grids on the communities they serve. This paper provides a literature review exploring the existing knowledgebase on the social impacts of mini-grids, what methodologies are used to evaluate them, and the extent to which social impact monitoring and evaluation is currently carried out. It finds that although there is a general acceptance of the benefits of rural electrification through minigrids, it is not often based on empirically measured evidence of mini-grid impact on the general wellbeing or social development of the communities they serve. Existing studies tend to focus more on measuring technical and economic performance of installed systems. Recommendations for a best practice methodology for evaluating the social impact of mini-grids is presented, which will be applied and tested in a variety of development contexts to gain valuable data to inform the sector.
