The livelihood zoning exercise for the western half of DRC was executed in two phases and completed in February 2016 by the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC). The exercise for eastern DRC was undertaken by FEWS NET in March 2015. Both exercises were conducted in conjunction with the National Vulnerability Assessment Committee (NVAC) for the DRC.
Summary
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.
O mapa das zonas de formas de vida ilustra o país por zona, indicando as áreas onde as pessoas geralmente têm as mesmas opções para obtenção de alimentos e rendimentos e se dedicarem ao comércio.
