joint IVAP and WFP bulletin ‘Livelihoods and Food Security in Displacement’, presenting findings of the 96,819 families living outside of the IDP camps, in the current IVAP database, with information collected in the period from June 2013 till the end of October 2014. Following are the key findings presented in this bulletin: 1-Displaced families continue to be highly vulnerable to food insecurity. In total, 35% of the families had acceptable food consumption while the majority (63%) had borderline food consumption; 2-About three quarters of respondents reported that adequate food was available in the market. However, economic access has been the major issue with 75% of the families reporting to not have sufficient money to buy food even when it is available; In terms of geographical spread, displaced families living in Hangu were found to be most vulnerable to food insecurity and least vulnerable in DI Khan; 3-Families reported major disruption in their livelihoods with a significant shift from stable sources of income such as agriculture and trade to unstable, casual wage labour. This is in line with the findings reported by IVAP and WFP in 2013 Joint Bulletin 4-Food was by far the priority need most commonly identified by respondents with 44% reporting it as their top need. This was followed by job opportunities (10%), non-food items (9%) and water (9%). The bulletin can be downloaded from the following web link: vam.wfp.org.pk/Publication/LFSDB_December_2014.pdf
