Incorporating the "hub model" for analysing policies and institutions
In the original SL framework, the "PIP box", or "transforming structures and processes", has often represented a problematic area in terms of communicating the key elements of the SL framework to new "users". The new framework has attempted to address this problem by "unpacking" the "PIP box", using the "hub model" of institutional analysis to represent the two basic levels of institution with which the poor, and agencies such as IFAD, interact - "service delivery" agencies and "enabling" agencies - and identifying the poor, with their range of livelihood assets, as the "users" of these institutions.
