Focusing on Kenya’s Kakuma Refugee Camp, which hosts thousands of South Sudanese refugees, the report explores how refugees adapt their livelihoods amid the dwindling of food rations and limited opportunities for employment. The report found cultivating crops near the seasonal lake as the last resort due to refugees’ structural vulnerabilities and international neglect, and highlights risks associated with such a livelihood adaptation strategy. To address this problem in a more sustainable way, the report recommends local and adaptive responses to desperate refugees’ livelihood strategies.
