- 1. Northwest Pastoral
- 2a. Central Pastoral - Lowlands

The aim of the report is to present sufficient information to allow a rounded and balanced view of livelihoods nationally.
The information presented refers to the period October 2002-September 2003. Provided there are no fundamental and rapid shifts in the economy, the information in this profile is expected to remain valid for approximately five years (i.e. until 2008).
