Food aid, sharing and resilience: the role of collectivity and connectivity in drought affected pastoralist systems in Ethiopia
Abstract
To understand if and how pastoralists shared food aid, and if this affected their ability to cope with and recover from drought, the authors studied households in 3 purposively selected kebeles of Su'ula (Afar), Asli (Somali) and Fuldowa (Oromia) that had received food aid during the drought of 2020-2023.
This work is part of the Supporting Pastoralism and Agriculture in Recurrent and Protracted Crises (SPARC) programme.
