The team used qualitative research methods, including in-depth, semistructured, open-ended interviews with different categories of households,1 clan leaders, IDP camp leaders, medical personnel in the camps, NGO and UN officials and military officials, direct observation and participant observation. This article reports the main findings of the study as they relate to people’s use of movement as a livelihood and protective strategy.en
