Livelihood Zoning workshop

The goal of this two-day workshop was to:

  • Initiate a targeted review of the existing livelihood zone map by incorporating stakeholder input gathered prior to the workshop on specific zones that potentially require reassessment.

  • Avoid a full remapping by focusing only on flagged zones.

  • Develop guiding questions and proposed revisions to be verified during baseline fieldwork and presented at the validation workshop.

  • Compile relevant secondary data sources to support the review process.

  • Establish a preliminary map of any proposed revisions based on secondary data and expert judgment for validation during Livelihood Baseline Data Collection.
