This book is based on a research study that investigates the coping strategies adopted by food-insecure households in Ombada, West Omdurman, Sudan, with a particular focus on women's roles in sustaining household survival under conditions of chronic economic hardship and conflict-driven food insecurity. The study employs a descriptive qualitative research design and draws on semi-structured interviews with 11 female custodial workers employed at Ahfad University for Women. Participants were selected through purposive sampling due to their direct experience of low income, household responsibility, and food insecurity. The findings reveal that households rely on interconnected coping mechanisms across economic, food management, and social support dimensions. Livelihood strategies include informal income-generating activities such as petty trade, domestic work, and small-scale entrepreneurship, alongside intergenerational sharing of economic responsibility and participation in informal savings groups (sanduq/sarfa). Food-related strategies involve meal reduction, prioritization of children and elderly members, stretching limited food resources, reliance on low-cost substitutes, etc.
