This HPG Policy Brief summarises the findings
of research examining the links between
protection and livelihoods in conflict. Based
on case studies in Chechnya, Darfur, the
Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) and Sri
Lanka, the study explores the inter-connections
between protection and livelihoods in terms of
the threats people face and their actions in
response. It highlights the similarities between
the analysis that underpins protection and
livelihoods programming, and illustrates
examples of where protection and livelihoods
interventions have been linked in practice. It
argues for greater connections between these
two areas of work in order to achieve better
outcomes for those affected by conflict.
