Conflict and Food Security in Beni-Lubero

This report discusses the extent to which household coping strategies have led to an efficient adaptation of livelihoods in the region of Beni-Lubero (North Kivu). A second question will be to what extent food security interventions have facilitated or blocked this adaptation process. The region was chosen as a case study because of its particular characteristic as being reigned by ‘neither-war-nor-peace’. During such situations, households have been observed to show a great degree of inventiven ess in terms of short-term coping strategies. Whether or not this inventiveness is leading to a greater resilience is the main question of this report. Finally, some recommendations will be given in terms of adapting existing food security programmes to such complex and changing situations.
