Livelihood Zone Descriptions:
Livelihood Zone Descriptions accompany Zone Maps. They briefly describe the main characteristics of livelihoods in each zone. On their own, livelihood zone maps and descriptions aid development of monitoring systems by identifying geographically relevant variables to monitor.

Livelihood Profiles:
Livelihood Profiles provide a brief economic differentiation between groups (wealth groups) and information on the relative importance of different sources of food and income to each. This information provides a basis to begin understanding vulnerability to particular events - i.e., which stresses will impact which populations and how. Read more

Livelihood Baselines:
Livelihood Baselines provide a detailed, quantified breakdown of household livelihood options (food, cash and expenditure patterns) and coping capacity/expandability for different wealth groups in the livelihood zone, highlighting market linkages, and constraints and opportunities for economic growth. They can be used to predict who will be impacted by which shocks, how, and to what degree. They can be linked to population information to estimate numbers of beneficiaries and assistance requirements. Read more

Livelihood Seasonal Monitoring Calendars:
Seasonal Monitoring Calendars combine the seasonal calendars found in the profiles with the information on sources of food and income by wealth group to identify which variables are important to which wealth groups in each zone. This serves as a quick reference tool when developing a monitoring plan. Read more

Livelihood Attribute Maps:
Attribute Maps combine the livelihoods information contained in the Zone Maps and Profiles to geo-reference where a crisis is likely to have the most significant effect and to provide context to important decision maker questions. Read more

Livelihood Discussion Papers:
FEWS NET?s discussion papers offer a livelihoods-based analytical perspective on a variety of themes, including disaster risk reduction, chronic poverty and climate change.
