This HPG Working Paper draws heavily on a review of the Danish Refugee Council's (DRC) work on livelihoods and protection in the Zalingei corridor in eastern West Darfur. It focuses in particular on threats to physical safety, freedom of movement and access to adequate means of subsistence, and their resulting impacts on people's livelihoods and protection.

Section 4.3 of the working paper outlines lessons learned from the DRC's programming activities, which include vocational and recreational training with youth.
