Linking Protection & Livelihoods

This report explores how violence in the Central African Republic has penetrated the private sphere, providing insight into the lived experience of people exposed to this on-going violence, examining how those at greatest risk perceive threats and vulnerability. It also explores how theat-risk civilian population is adapting to the challenges they confront on a daily basis; as well as sketching various social attitudes & practices that under persisting stress, are contributing to disrupted social cohesion, and potentially weakening socially based coping mechanisms. It then reflects on how the protection context as a whole risks provoking further humanitarian consequences (especially economic & thus food insecurity).
