The livelihood zone map for Guatemala is the result of a workshop in February 2016, it updates the livelihood zone map produced in November 2010.
A livelihood zone is an area within which people share broadly the same pattern of livelihood, including options for obtaining food and income and market opportunities. A livelihood zoning is essential for the following reasons:
It provides geographic orientation of livelihood systems to inform food security analysis and assistance targeting
It provides the basis for identifying geographically relevant food security monitoring indicators
It provides a sampling frame for future on-the-ground assessments
Livelihood patterns clearly vary from one geographic area to another, which is why the preparation of a Livelihood Zone Map is a logical first step for livelihoods-based analysis.
The following thirteen (13) livelihood zones were established for Guatemala:
GT01 - North Petén Forestry and Eco-tourism
