Ejo Heza Livelihood Baselines, Rwanda 2011

The Ejo Heza HEA livelihood baselines aim to provide a quantified picture of the household economy for the pre-project reference year, disaggregated by gender where possible (i.e., for income and labour). The baseline will serve as a yardstick against which to measure change created by the project. The baseline survey, hence, is tied to the project planning cycle of the Ejo Heza project. The start of a new phase in eight districts of Southern and Western Provinces requires that a baseline picture of household income and food access be established. This will allow project planners to assess the impact of activities mid-way through the project as well as to assess livelihood impacts at the end of project implementation.
