The following paper describes the approach and activities undertaken in a recent poverty assessment of Kosovo. Eighteen settlements, both rural and urban, were assessed using a range of qualitative participatory information gathering techniques. Albanian and Serbian research teams undertook the assessments. A livelihoods based methodology was used as the basis for analysis and understanding. The result was a profile of poverty, which is being used to inform development assistance decisions.
