NEPAL COMMUNITYFEEDBACK REPORT Issue: Food Security and Livelihoods
Abstract:
Across 14 districts, 81 percent of respondents stated that their family’s daily food needs are being met. This is a signi cant improvement over the last round of the Food Security and Livelihood survey (July 2016), in which only 54 percent of respondents felt their daily food needs were being met. Differences in perceived food insecurity were observed among districts, as well as caste/ethnic groups. Gurung and Dalits were the most likely to feel food insecure, with 4 and 31 percent respectively reporting their family’s daily food needs were not being met. By district, Sindhuli (50 percent) and Kathmandu (39 percent) come out as the most concerned about unmet daily food needs. Those who reported that their daily food needs were not being met were asked what they needed to meet their needs. The majority of respondents cited working opportunities, new skills, land to farm and access to water. The fact that cash support did not emerge as a priority indicates a strong desire to be self-sufficient. Family#Economics#Rural#Agriculture#Daily#Food#Needs#2017

NEPAL COMMUNITYFEEDBACK REPORT Issue: Food Security and Livelihoods
Abstract:
nvestment in rehabilitation of water sources and supply will potentially have the greatest positive impact on earthquake affected communities, across multiple sectors. Currently lack of water is impeding reconstruction because households cannot make mud or concrete; livelihoods because of reduced productive time as a result of long distances to travel or collect water and lack of irrigation potential; protection because of reported conflict over scarce water resources and requirements for women to travel while it is dark to collect water; and finally, health and sanitation. Minimal changes were observed in respondents’ source of livelihood pre- and post-earthquake across the 14 districts. Agriculture was, and remains, the most widely adopted livelihood strategy. In fact, reliance on agriculture has increased slightly, from 64 to 69 percent post-earthquake. Surprisingly, masonry as a source of livelihood has decreased post-earthquake from three percent to two percent. Family#Economics#Rural#Agriculture#Daily#Food#Needs#2017
