The Household Economy Approach (HEA) Framework was developed by FEG's Core Staff and Save the Children - UK. Over the past several years FEG, Save the Children - UK and HEA practitioner's have developed and expanded its uses to a broader livelihood support vision.
The Practitioners' Guide to HEA is a collaborative effort by FEG and Save the Children - UK to develop a user friendly document to assist HEA practitioners, field staff and program planners.
