Abstract

Sustainable livelihood as an enabler of food security can be constrained by climate variability and violent conficts, with dire consequences in regions with crude adaptation practices. The efects of such ‘complex emergency crises’ on food production and livelihoods in Northeast Nigeria impair human security and resilience, particularly, in the Boko Haram ravaged Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states, and the adjoining Lake Chad region. This study examines the efcacy of multisectoral interventions on food security and resilience in Northeast Nigeria, using the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach. Its thematic analysis of qualitative data was supported by the Cadre Harmonisé (CH) regional report of acute food insecurity assessment in the Sahel.
