Livelihood strategies for achieving sustainable livelihood outcomes among communities near national parks in Uganda: a study of tourism-related and non-tourism-related approaches

Abstract

Tourism development around national parks impacts the way of life for local communities. Anchored in the Sustainable Livelihood Framework, this study aims to investigate which livelihood strategies (tourism-related and non-tourism-related activities) influence sustainable livelihood outcomes (improved well-being), for communities adjacent to national parks in Uganda. Using primary data, this study seeks to provide recommendations for enhancing sustainable livelihood outcomes for these communities and to propose an agenda for future research in this area.
