Livelihood Zone Maps

A livelihood zone map delineates geographic areas within which people broadly share the same livelihood patterns, including access to food, income, and markets. It facilitates monitoring and targeting of assistance geographically.

Livelihood Profiles

A livelihood profile is a description of household livelihood options--including food and income sources and market access--of different wealth groups in the livelihood zone and the hazards to which they are vulnerable. It facilitates design of seasonally specific monitoring systems, helps determine trends in monitoring information by season and household type, and provides context to understand the implications of a shock.
