  1. AfricaRISING – Quick FeedsLivelihoods Stratification for BekojiDistrictPeter Thorne and Amare Haileslassie Africa-RISING Quick Feed Project Synthesis Workshop, Addis Ababa, 3-4 September 2012

  2. Hypotheses • Households stratified by livelihood endowments access and manage feed resources in different ways. • More robust development outcomes will result from identifying practises that are transferable amongst strata and augmenting these with “external” innovations that target constraints and opportunities relevant to each stratum.

  3. The Project Site • BokoJi Negeso • Limu Bilbilo District

  4. Stratifications • Existing: Three communities (Chefa Woligal, Mirti Laman and Tulu Negeso) • Livelihoods benchmarking: Top 25% versus bottom 25% (in terms of livelihood asset endowments) • Extracted typology based on livelihoods: use all the livelihoods indicators to identify similar households

  5. Why do we Stratify? • In any community, not everyone is the same! • Different people face different problems and are able to respond to different opportunities • We stratify to identify groups of people whose circumstances are similar enough for them to share common solutions

  6. Livelihoods Capital Assets • Human (traits of individuals or groups) • Social (interactions amongst individuals or groups) • Natural (the resource base) • Physical (infrastructure and physical tools) • Financial (sources of cash)

  7. Livelihoods Process • Five / six key informants from each community • Introduction of concepts • Each community identifies relevant indicators (group discussions) • Prepare checklist of 50 combined indicators • 49 household livelihood statuses assessed by individual interview

  8. Example Indicators (Human Capital)

  9. Benchmark Stratification Three groups extracted with high, medium and low average livelihood status

  10. Community Benchmarks

  11. Most Important Dimensions of Livelihoods

  12. Most Important Dimensions of Livelihoods

  13. Financial Capital Indicators

  14. Human Capital Indicators

  15. Social Capital Indicators

  16. Natural Capital Indicators

  17. Vulnerability

  18. Principal ComponentsKey Differences Amongst Households

  19. Principal ComponentsKey Differences Amongst Households

  20. Principal Components (Natural Capital) • General access to natural resources • Contribution of rain-fed crop production • Strength of the livestock resource base (numbers, breeds) • Enabling environment for livestock production (feeds, health status, off-farm biomass)

  21. Principal Components (Financial Capital) • Overall financial well-being • Access to credit and savings • Off-farm income

  22. Principal Components (Human Capital) • Broad impact of human capital assets • Education • Experience and general motivation • Health and confidence. Enabling qualities.

  23. Principal Components (Social Capital) • Cooperation and sharing • Trust and reciprocity • Leadership / external influences? • Personal status and links with immediate neighbours

  24. Principal Components (Physical Capital) • Infrastructure; markets, transports and electricity. • Agricultural technologies: implements and milling. • Other technologies: telephone and radio.

  25. Cluster Analysis

  26. What are the Cluster Groups?

  27. Cluster Group Benchmarks
