Emergency Food Aid Assistance to Flood-affected People in South-western Bangladesh: Household Livelihood Assessment Report

The purpose of DFID’s overall M&E strategy was to provide independent evaluation of the appropriateness and targeting of WFP response to the area affected by September 2000 floods. Quantitative data was collected and analyzed to yield answers related to targeting accuracy, ration size, etc.
At the same time, a qualitative livelihood assessment was implemented to learn more about the status of households and communities in the project zone. Objectives of the assessment included:
• Describe livelihood situation, constraints and opportunities for flood-affected households.
• Describe the impacts of the flood on various groups within target area and the extent of
recovery.
• Identify food and non-food needs for continued rehabilitation and longer-term development.
