The Challenge of Demonstrating Vulnerability

On April 3, 2018 By Harry and Annie Bergshoeff

This week, as enumerators were going through 26 different villages to conduct the needs assessment survey, we convened some focus groups, met with various government officials, consulted other NGOs, and pursued available information that will help identify the seriousness of the food shortage for families in this area.

We were able to access reports from the Department of Agriculture that identify, by village, the extent to which last season’s harvest fell short of meeting the local populations’ food needs, lists gathered by our partner last fall that identify those farmers who allowed their animals to graze on their crop fields because there was no crop there to harvest and reports that capture rainfall data.
