This paper reviews emergency livelihoods assessment approaches in situations of chronic conflict and political instability (SCCPI). The authors review approaches using an adapted livelihoods framework and an analysis of what happens to livelihoods in chronic conflict and political instability. They examine how a livelihoods analysis can add to the identification of appropriate interventions and address protracted risks to livelihoods. The paper contributes to understanding the problems faced by populations in chronic conflict and political instability, and to find ways of protecting livelihoods to more effectively save lives and reduce future vulnerability.
