Toward sustainable rural livelihoods approach: Application of grounded theory in Ghazni province, Afghanistan

Original language description

Through the implementation of policies, the sustainable livelihood strategy has been a strategic method for increasing rural economies and harmonizing political, sociocultural, economic, and environmental development. One of the important and critical techniques for attaining sustainable development is the ability to empower and create capacity among the poor in rural areas. Therefore, the aim of this study was to recognize and design a sustainable livelihood approach in the northern villages of Andar District, Ghazni province in Afghanistan. This study employed purposive sampling and snowball sampling techniques to gather data. In this study, data analysis was carried out using ATLAS.TI program in three steps including axial coding, open coding, and selective coding. Based on the research, solutions for achieving a sustainable way of life include industrializing rural areas, employing solar energy, improving rural housing, maximizing the efficiency of production factors, growing native poultry in house yards, and growing eugenic dairy cows. Rural industrialization has the consequences such as creating diverse job opportunities, reducing dependence on the agricultural sector, reducing living costs, strengthening handicrafts, improving earning methods, and increasing poultry and farm products. This study is significant because the people of the studied villages were in a poor livelihood situation and this research provides numerous suggestions to improve their livelihood. In the present study, a complementary approach to sustainable livelihood has been identified and designed. Therefore, governmental and non-governmental organizations should take effective steps to reduce livelihood challenges and improve access to sustainable livelihood in the studied villages.
