» Activity 1.02
Assessment of coastal zone livelihoods and impact of Tsunami damage
 
Methodology
  • Participatory landscape appraisal team using methods of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA),

  • YPK, a local NGO in Meulaboh, has been facilitating PRA in some tsunami affected villages; the NGO will be contacted for earlier results and plan/refine new work. Carry out PRAs to understand the earlier and current condition of the community of the target area.

  • Compile, review and synthesize the available reports including spatial and statistical data (JKPP – Jaringan Kerja Pemetaan Partisipatif).

  • Poverty mapping, to capture spatio-temporal pattern of before and after tsunami livelihoods in different areas (a village level study).

  • Focus Group Discussion (NGOs, Lembaga lain, Key informans)

  • Determining of sampled Villages based on damage levels. 10-20 % of the number of villages per sub-district. 4 Subdistricts (Meurebo, Johan Pahlawan, Sama Tiga, Arongan Lambalek) + 1 Subdistrict (Nias) Gunung Sitoli.

 
Expected Outputs
  • Clearly articulated livelihoods of various groups of people living in the four sub-districts of AB and Nias, before and after Tsunami of Dec 2004.

  • An impact assessment of tsunami damage on local livelihoods.

  • Poverty maps depicting spatio-temporal pattern pre and post Tsunami.

» Activity 1.03
Market assessment for major tree crops and institutional setup, Tsunami impact and future scenarios
 
Methodology
A rapid market appraisal team will start with a quick scan of the market chain and main actors, followed up by in depth interviews and analysis of quantitative data; existing world market projections of demand and national level data of comparative advantage will be combined, to link micro to macro economic perspectives
 
Expected Outputs
A clear understanding on market situation before and after Tsunami and implications on major tree crop development in Aceh Barat and Nias

» Activity 1.04
Local strategies (knowledge, self-help initiatives, indigenous innovations) to cope with Tsunami and earthquake disasters
 
Methodology
Building on to the PRA results of 1.02, staff trained in participatory knowledge analysis will further document and analyze livelihood strategies, local resource use and explanatory ecological knowledge; methods may include Agro ecological Knowledge Toolkit (see ICRAF/SEA web site), as has been successfully used in guiding agroforestry development elsewhere on Sumatra; analysis will be gender-specific
 
Expected Outputs
Documentation of coping strategies (gender perspective), local resource use and “sustainability”
