1. Background
CRS seeks to implement a comprehensive response and recovery project in four woredas in East Hararghe Zone and in Dire Dawa Administrative Council, Ethiopia. After years of drought and recent inter-ethnic conflict, Community Recovery and Resilience in Eastern Ethiopia Project (CRRP) will provide a holistic response to increase income, diversify economic activities, improve health outcomes, increase access to safe water sources, and enhance livelihoods. By providing agricultural inputs, CRRP will jumpstart farming activities through skills building training on new agricultural technologies and enhance the understanding of improved value chains. CRRP will also target youth and landless groups to provide new income options, such as beekeeping and small ruminant fattening. Livelihood activities will be complimented by CRS’ Savings and Internal Lending Community (SILC) approach.
CRRP will support community to recover and build resilience through Agriculture, Livelihood, WASH, Nutrition Microfinance and SILC activities.
Project Goal: East Hararghe Zone and Dire Dawa communities affected by inter-communal conflict and drought have immediate access to essential on-farm inputs; increase and diversify income; improve economic well-being; increase health and nutritional status; and increase access to safe water.
Strategy: Input and capacity provided across 4 sectors.
Outcome: Three outcomes which are:
The project will be implemented in five woredas Babile, Chinaksen, Deder, Goro-Gutu and Dire-Dawa woredas (i.e. 4 woredas in East Hararghe and 1 woreda in Dire-Dawa Administrative council).
The project planned to target 50, 000 individuals; by sector, WASH targets 20, 000 people, Agriculture and Livelihood target 15,000 people, Nutrition & health target 10,000 people, and SILC targets 5,000 people.
Due attention will be given to avoid overlap of beneficiaries by discussing within ourselves and with the consultants before the commencement of the survey
To understand the current situation (as captured by key project metrics) in the targeted areas, CRS Ethiopia is planning to undertake a baseline survey for the Community Recovery and Resilience Project. The project team completed preparations to conduct baseline survey as per Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) procedures and plan. The baseline is an important element in the MEAL plan, one which will not only enable the project staff to understand the situation before the project intervenes, but will act as the benchmark against which progress can be assessed; the latter will make a project evaluation feasible.
2. Purpose and objectives of the baseline survey
The purpose of the baseline survey is to collect baseline data on key performance indicators which will be used to measure progress over the course of the project implementation.
Specific objectives of the baseline survey are:
