Humanitarian aid
"Pushed-out households are those that own herds below a lower survival threshold, so that they are unlikely to sustain themselves even in an average rainfall year."
The other two categories of household are "resilient" and "vulnerable".. Pushed-out is between the two of them.

: that is more a translation for "families expelled from their homes" by nasty landlords, civil war or local gangsters, doesn't really associate with the climate becoming too dry or not having a herd big enough to survive ...

Good night
Am I guessing correctly that:
a) the "vulnerable" households have next to nothing;
b) the "pushed-out" households have a herd, but not big enough not to have to worry even in "normal" climatic conditions - their survival capacity is borderline at best - so they are literally "pushed out of their usual habitat" not by other people, but by the need to find elsewhere some more reliable food supply;
c) the "resilient" households can take it - one bad year will not put them in trouble?
I can't see where is the problem? This text seems straightforward enough to me: "pushed-out households" = a category of household forced to move to another area to find more reliable food supply, simply?
I have now done a bit more of research, and have found two additional possibilities, but these need to be improved... One is the term "marginal", which denotes "limit", but which also can have a connotation to "crime". The other term is "suscéptible", which is less "serious" than "vulnérable". Mireille, maybe you can find something that combines these two. I have found many documents with "resilience and vulnerability", but none seem to have the third concept of "pushed-out".
they don't own enough herds to be resilient but they own enough not to be vulnerable, I guess their status is in between..
The English is not really readily understandable.
