FEG's approach to livelihoods analysis is unique in its rigor and its depth and has proven to be a powerful basis for linking rural realities to appropriate actions.

FEG is providing technical support to Save the Children UK in 2011 on a regional Household Economic Approach capacity building project in the Sahel funded by the Humanitarian Aid department of the European Commission (ECHO).

An Atlas of Ethiopia Livelihoods
On July 1, 2011, at the Ghion Hotel in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the formal launch of the Atlas of Ethiopian Livelihoods took place. The Atlas draws on data assembled by the USAID funded Livelihoods Integration Unit (LIU); data that up until 2010 was absent and that now makes it possible to piece together a comprehensive and holistic picture of how rural households in Ethiopia make their living, and how they get by from year to year. |
Monitoring and evaluation of program impacts on livelihoods in Sri Lanka
FEG provided study design, training, analysis and report writing expertise to two Individual Household Economy Assessments (IHEAs) in 2008 and 2010 for Save the Children in Sri Lanka. The first IHEA provided a pre-implementation baseline against which to monitor and measure the impacts of a 2008-2010 post-tsunami poverty reduction and child welfare improvement program. The post-implementation IHEA evaluated the impact of the project. |
