KEY DRIVERS OF THE CRISIS
Chronic structural vulnerabilities compounded by recurrent shocks (droughts, floods, epidemics, locusts) have eroded household and community resilience and forced families to result to negative coping strategies.
Prolonged displacement (Mali conflict) puts additional stress on the communities hosting refugees (and up to 200,000 of their animals).
