Protection of Productive Assets

The indicator measures the extent to which the target households applied the recommended measures for protecting their productive assets (tools, machinery, animals) against the identified hazards (such as floods, storms, etc.).

Collect the following data by conducting individual interviews with a representative sample of the target group members:

RECOMMENDED SURVEY QUESTIONS (Q) AND POSSIBLE ANSWERS (A)

Q1: In the past [specify the time period], did you use any of the measures promoted by [specify the agency's name] for protecting you productive assets against [specify the main hazard(s)]?

A1: yes / no

(ask the following question only if the previous answer is YES)

Q2: What kind of measures did you use and for which assets?

A2: specify the asset: ...................... and the measure: .......................

Calculate the indicator's value by dividing the number of respondents (households) who reported to use one or more of the promoted measures by the total number of interviewed respondents and multiplying the result by 100. 

1) Discuss with your colleagues and pilot among your target group an appropriate translation of "productive assets", such as "all the things that help you to earn money or get food".

2) If possible, verify through observation whether the measure was really used.
