    Programming for secure livelihoods amid uncertainty: trends and directions in livelihoods, nutrition and food security in Darfur 2012

    This report examines trends and directions in livelihoods, nutrition and food security across Darfur since 2005. It provides an analysis for agencies and government that can support programming which responds more effectively to the emerging development context. The report uses data from secondary sources, both those available in Sudan and internationally. Primary data collection was planned for 2011, but could not be carried out due to factors beyond our control. Instead, the authors consulted closely with agency staff, academics and development practitioners on the use and interpretation of secondary data and employed the services of two Sudanese consultants – in Khartoum and Darfur – to provide additional material and support the wider analysis. The original objectives of the study were to: Review and prepare a descriptive analysis of all nutrition, public health, livelihoods and other relevant data and secondary sources. This includes the small-scale survey reports compiled in C E-DAT4 for health and nutrition. Investigate trends and determinants of malnutrition from a public health point of view in the Darfur states, in order to help agencies to better understand patterns of high acute malnutrition rates in certain areas and at certain times of year. Provide practical and workable recommendations for best practice to guide future programming options. Based on these objectives the document is mainly technical in nature and practitioneroriented. It does not speak t o the wider complexities of Darfur’s current and future political development.
