Resilience in conflict-affected livestock value chains – Conceptual issues and methods for analysis

This paper discusses these challenges at length and provides some guidance on methodological and operational modalities to tease out these nuances that better inform public policy and the choice of technical and policy interventions. Specific advice on models, data and applications is provided.
