Food security and Livelihood

Due to almost half a century of protracted conﬂict, poverty, lack of infrastructure and disruption of social services, it is among the world’s least developed countries .
More than half of the population lives on less than $US 1.25/d, and livelihood constraints are
enormous. Approximately 80 % of the population is rural and depends on farming and livestock
Only 4 % of arable land is cultivated and labor and trade opportunities are limited
Widespread conflict and violence has led to large-scale displacement and interruption of planting and cultivation seasons have led to the continued rise in food insecurity. Families whose livelihoods have been decimated by violence, drought or displacement are increasingly turning to harmful coping strategies.

How is CIPAD addressing the issues?

In addition to providing food and cash support to those displaced by the violence, we are equipping farmers through farmer field schools and producer groups to help beneficiaries gain the necessary skills to provide for themselves and their families. We are working to strengthen the connection between communities and markets to ensure that they can access the products they need at a fair price and are able to sell what they produce.
