The development of livelihood assessment is an increase in the household food economy system methodology (SC, UK, 2000a). Somalia has lacked a central government since the failure of the Si'ad Barre regime in January 1991. State collapse, inter-clan warfare, insurmountable conflicts, displacement and starvation were seen in 1991/2.

In southern Somalia, agricultural livelihood tasks provide income through the sale of crops, as well as employment opportunities in agricultural production, but not only by meeting the food requirements of society. In general, pastoralists determine most of their daily sustenance through the sale of their grain products as their main sources of income.
After the collapse of the central government in 1990, the rural population, especially pastoralists, were considered the most vulnerable group due to political instability and natural conditions, including tribal conflicts, floods and droughts. While using the data with confidence, agencies apply controlled understanding of the household economics methodology and there are limitations to the extent to which information from the Food Security Assessment Unit is interpreted in programming options. In addition, he argued that the failure of the Somali central government institutions during the 1990s, NGOs cover the space caused by failure.
