  abstract = {{E}ffective monitoring is a fundamental requirement for adaptive management. {T}he need for better tools for monitoring livelihoods is particularly acute. {A} simple indicators-based livelihoods monitoring tool to be used at the village scale was developed and tested. {P}articipatory methods were used to elicit local perceptions and aspirations about development and conservation. {T}hat information was used to develop a prototype set of indicators, organized using the {S}ustainable {L}ivelihoods {F}ramework. {D}ata were collected for the indicators in six villages to calibrate and test the tool. {I}ndicators of financial and physical capital worked well. {S}ocial capital and natural capital were more difficult to capture with low-cost indicators. {M}ost of the indicators are applicable in rural areas of the district and beyond. {D}espite some shortcomings, the tool shows good potential as a way to focus attention on key aspects of rural development and as a way to inform and facilitate discussion and negotiation between communities and other stakeholders.},
