These localities have been chosen  to  represent  poor  and  most  needy  communities living within non-resilient livelihood and insecure food conditions different in the state because  natural  resources  and  environmental  situation  have  been  affected  by conflicts  and  natural  disasters  over  the  last  years.  The pastoralists and the small farmers in Gedarif state look upon themselves as marginalized communities whose livelihoods are threatened by the large investors.
