Introduction

Trade liberalisation impacts on every community in the world, either directly or indirectly. Because it is an ongoing process, there is an urgent need to monitor its impact on community livelihoods at the grassroots. Women's livelihoods, in particular, are affected in gender-specific ways.

This growing body of knowledge about the impact of trade on sustainable livelihoods is mostly uncovered by NGOs and researchers. The Listserve Exchange links you to some of the most current information and most intense debates on trade liberalisation.
