This report provides a critical mapping and overview of livelihood interventions from 2018 to 2023 to inform the development of a UNDP strategy on livelihoods. The mapping is backed by analysis of available data and interviews with key development partners, implementing agencies and government institutions.

Moving forward calls for a shift to a development approach. This includes focusing on sustainable livelihoods, value chain development and community-based interventions. Improved coordination among international organizations, better targeting of assistance and efforts addressing economic vulnerabilities are essential to reduce aid dependency and foster long-term resilience. Key recommendations include enhancing data collection, fostering private sector growth, and integrating economic development into humanitarian efforts to create more stable and sustainable local economies.
