This study assesses how livelihoods adapt during ongoing crises by examining a small sample of households in northern Uganda. The findings show that a relatively simple set of tools can be used to gain an understanding of household livelihoods in real time, to better inform the phasing out of relief and the design and targeting of new interventions. The study also underlines the diversity of individual household needs during a period of transition. It finds that some households are manifestly better able than others to re-establish self-reliant livelihoods, which has important implications for humanitarian programming.
