At this event Helen Young, Director of Public Nutrition, and Rebecca Dale, Feinstein International Famine Center, Tufts University, presented ‘Darfur: Livelihoods Under Siege’, a collaborative study between Tufts University and the Ahfad University for Women, Sudan, of the effects of conflict on livelihoods of different groups in Darfur based on fieldwork in Darfur, Khartoum, eastern Sudan and Libya. Detailed recommendations cover six broad areas; security, land, livestock, trade, markets and international humanitarian response. The presentation included consideration of future prospects for Darfur, including implications of the recent signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement and forthcoming donor conference in Oslo.
