Abstract
Changes have taken place over recent decades in national economic indicators and activities have little impact on the rural population, who continue in semi-nomadic, subsistence-level livestock production activities. Most of this rural population lives under absolute poverty conditions. Despite their importance in the livelihood of people in Djibouti, environmental assets are poorly integrated into macro-economic planning, too inefficiently accounted for. The objective of this study is to understand the extent to which environmental assets impact the livelihoods of people in Djibouti and the extent to which such values are integrated into macro-economic planning.
