Abstract
We explored if there were lessons to be learned for food security assessment and interventions by studying household food insecurity ‘coping strategies’ in conflict contexts. Data were collected using 55 in-depth interviews during 2016-2017 from three regions in Libya – a country affected by protracted conflicts since 2011. Thematic analyses of the data revealed eight major categories of coping strategies, some of which resembled those reported in the global literature. However, some strategies, both negative and positive, were ‘unique’ to the conflict context. Implications of the findings for food security assessment and interventions in areas of protracted conflicts are discussed.
