Vulnerable livelihoods in Somali Region, Ethiopia

Devereux, Stephen

The report explores the causes and consequences of livelihood vulnerability in Somali Region, Ethiopia. People in this region have suffered a series of livelihood setbacks, some due to natural causes, others political. As a result, questions are being asked about the sustainability of pastoralism as a livelihood system. This study attempts to gather information and give voice to the people of Somali Region, and to present this evidence to policy-makers as an input to their strategising and decision-making.
