This purpose of this study, commissioned by WFP is the following:
(1) To enhance understanding of how livelihoods and markets have been impacted by the current conflict in all three Darfur states
(2) To assess the impact of food aid on livelihoods
(3) To recommend how livelihoods can best be supported
(4) To indicate how livelihoods are likely to be affected by three different scenarios, and the implications for interventions
It is the first region-wide study of livelihoods in Darfur since the Tufts study of 2004/05, and particularly focuses on how livelihood strategies have changed during the conflict years.
