      abstract = {Interventions to support livelihoods in Fragile and  Conflict-Affected Situations (FCAS) are seen by many as  subsidiary to the primary (relief-based) imperative to save  lives. For others, FCAS interventions remain “stuck” for  too long in relief mode, and the potential to get back into  support for livelihoods is lost. This paper examines how  livelihoods models, initially used in development, not  relief, contexts, have been adapted to suit FCAS, and asks  what evidence we have on how livelihoods have changed under  FCAS and why. It also asks how far efforts to support  livelihoods in FCAS have been effective. To provide  effective livelihoods support is complex, requiring  understanding of how people link into distant opportunities  outside the FCAS, how they perceive and respond to risk,  and how their livelihoods are affected by power relations,  by restrictions on the movement of people and goods, and by  reduced capacity to enforce the rule of law in relation to  e.g. contracts and the ownership of and access to  resources.},
