Proposal

Conducting a Community Mini-Survey

Marco Meneses

04/09/23

Problem Statement

Agricultural and rural development are part of a country’s development

Not all of those projects necessarily improve the food consumption and nutrition status of the people living in the project area.

Development planners must take in account the specific nutrition and food consumption of the various project activities

04/09/23

Basic questions to be asked:

Who really benefits from the project activities?Do selection criteria for participants (sex, land

ownership) preclude the possibility of participation by the neediest?

Will the project activities displace a traditional activity (marketing of agricultural produce by women?)

What are the nutritional and health problems in the area, and can the project address these problems?

04/09/23

Purpose

Nutrition should not be simply a separate activity within a project but, rather, should be fully integrated into the project planning and implementation process, and that project activities should be designed to have a positive impact on nutrition on the area.– The information on nutrition considerations

on the area must be provided to project planners, so this input can be integrated at each step of the project planning process.

04/09/23

General Objectives:

To help in the planning of agricultural and rural development programs.

Provide information that must be used in the project planning to develop ways to improve food intakes and nutrition among the poorer or more disadvantaged households in the area.

04/09/23

Specific Objective:

Collect information from individual households about the nutrition status of children 0-5 years, infant feeding habits, family size, resources, and illnesses that might complicate nutrition status.

04/09/23

Research Design:Simple cross-section survey

– Data collected at one point in time from a random sample selected to describe and represent an entire population.

Information base– Prepare and study the profile of the project

area– Study project documents– Review all the decisions already taken

regarding the project; know at what extension these decisions can be modified.

Design of the Survey Instrument

– Provide information from individual households about the nutrition of children 0-5 years old

– Provide information about 0-5 years old feeding habits– Provide information about immunization– Provide information about maternal health and family

planning– Provide information about family income and food

production– Provide specific information about the

presence/absence of a latrine (and its use), source of drinking water, and persons sick with tuberculosis in the families
