dc.description.abstractThis doctoral thesis focuses on pastoral vulnerability to famine, and the survival strategies of internally displaced Somali pastoralists living in the Northeastern province of Kenya. It examines the causes of famine and subsequent effects of displacement and destitution in order to provide context for site-specific interventions. Findings show that a community economic development model would be more effective than past practices. As well as climate change, the displaced pastoralists face barriers in finding meaningful livelihoods due to weak governance (failures of market institutions; untimely responses to famine). Their experiences have created mistrust in government led initiatives.en
