• Livelihoods Situation

Rationale: Any change related to the main source of income can imply that a household is no longer able to implement usual livelihoods activities as before the crises. This can include change in the income deriving from a given source, change in type of income, diversification of resources by starting new activities and dependency on non-sustainable activities. This could be due to the fact that mainly some assets (animals, tools machinery, seeds, etc.) or human power were lost, or that access to specific areas (field, rivers for fishing, forest for collecting wood, etc.) were denied or interrupted. These are the changes occurred to the income derived from any given sources. It is imperative to have pre-crisis information to be able to value it. Example of sources of income can include crop production, wage labour, trading, livestock, fishery, exploitation of natural resources, salary and remittances.

• Economic Security

Examples: % of HHs by income type before and after the shocks, disaggregated by geographical areas. Watch Out For! - Data from Focus Group discussions only can be indicative, and is not necessarily adequate to determine by how much a given income source was affected. It is important to collect HH data to assess income losses. If only qualitative data was collected it has to be clear in the reporting.
