Food Security & Livelihood Baselines

by Stephen Browne — last modified 05/28/2010 15:06

Our HEA baselines provide a comprehensive and holistic view of the inner workings of household livelihood systems and the connections between these and the wider economy. They translate these complicated systems into readily accessible information for donors, policy makers, program managers and planners to help them understand household constraints and opportunities in the short and longer term, design appropriate projects to meet a range of objectives, and measure the real impact or a project/program or policy in livelihood terms. A selection of examples showing how HEA baseline assessments can be used is listed below:

FEG's seasoned staff can tailor its assessment methodology to meet a wide range of objectives in both emergency and development contexts. Please click here to view examples of assessments undertaken by FEG staff over the last decade.

FEG Baseline Assessments: Since 1998, FEG staff have carried out over 100 assessments in various contexts: emergency, development, refugee, post-conflict, peri-urban, urban and pastoral. All of our assessments deliver triangulated data to inform decision making processes, guide implementation, predict outcomes, and measure success for development, emergency relief, economic monitoring, national early warning and refugee response initiatives. We use the household economy approach (HEA) to guide our assessments, providing a detailed account of livelihood systems within a given population.
