Issue 20: Helping Hands: A Livelihood Approach to Population, Health, and Environment Programs

Proponents of integrated development face significant barriers, but the tide may be turning.

In addition, he writes that PHE programs should add livelihoods as a critical element, and consider adopting a new moniker, "HELP": Health, Environment, Livelihoods, and Population.
