BUILDING/ENHANCING HUMAN ASSETS FOR INCREASED AND SUSTAINED INCOME
Often, the rural poor are dependent mainly on natural assets as the source of a continuing flow of technology and raw materials. They are also are dependent on physical assets, e.g., roads, bridges, communication facilities, for their access to markets and market information.
The physical and natural assets that the poor are dependent on are often disaster-prone geohazards (marginal/eroded slopes, riverbanks, etc.).
Usually, the poor are the only ones residing or depending on these locations simply because nobody else is interested in exploiting these. Neither is anyone willing to stay in these areas because of safety concerns.
The Urban Poor are dependent mainly on their human assets (skills, knowledge, etc.) as there are very little remaining natural assets in the urban areas.
A physical asset that some urban poor groups have successfully harnessed as a livelihood asset are landfills and dumpsites for solid waste.
Again, because of safety concerns no one else is interested in directly exploiting these or in staying within these areas.
