| INDICATOR 4i. # and % of disaster/crisis-affected people supported through/by CARE who recovered household goods, assets and/or income opportunities | |
| Why this indicator? What will it measure and provide information for? This indicator relates to a component which cuts across CARE’s four core sectors for humanitarian response: Shelter, FNS, SRMH, WASH. It aims to gather disaggregated data on number of crisis / disaster affected households supported by CARE and/or its partners with cash, skills and services for livelihood recovery and grounding it in relevant sector standards. The resilience of people’s livelihoods and their vulnerability to shocks/crisis are largely determined by the resources (or assets) available to them (at various stages post-acute crisis) and how these have been affected by a disaster. These resources include financial capital (such as cash, credit, savings) and also include physical (houses, machinery), natural (land, water), human (labor, skills), social (networks, norms) and political (influence, policy) capital. Key to those who produce food is whether they have access to land that can support production and whether they have the means to continue to farm. Key to those who need income to get their food is whether they have access to employment, markets and services. For people affected by disasters, the preservation, recovery and development of the resources necessary for their food security and future livelihoods should be a priority.While most attention at the onset of a disaster /crisis will be given to life saving interventions, the sooner the planning and work on recovery begins, the sooner the affected areas are stabilized and the shorter and more effective the recovery process is likely to be. |
|
| Target (CARE Humanitarian & Emergency Strategy 2013-2020) : Humanitarian assistance provided by/through CARE (partners) reaches at least 5-15% (depending on emergency type) of all households affected by a particular disaster / crisis (OR if appropriate and more precise: of all disaster / crisis affected households of a specific geographic area in need of particular technical assistance) |
|
| What Humanitarian Standards and Humanitarian Indicators is this indicator connected to? This indicator refers to the relevant SPHERE minimum standards in food security and nutrition (4.2 and 4.3) with further references to SPHERE companion standards such as: * The//Livestock Emergency Guidelines and Standards// (LEGS) * //Minimum requirements for market analysis in emergencies// > and other standards developed by CaLP with regards to //Cash Transfer Programming (CTP)//. The**Humanitarian Response Indicators Registry** includes early recovery indicators (5) focusing on * Functional markets and formal / informal financial services * Income support (transfer) and sources (generation); Workforce and employment * Livelihood assets Related indicators on Community Restauration focus on basic community infrastructure and civic services as well as reconciliation efforts where and when appropriate. |

| Definitions and key terms UNDP as global cluster lead for Early Recovery defines this as multi-dimensional process which occurs in parallel with humanitarian activities, but its objectives, mechanisms and expertise are different as it is guided by development principles. It aims to generate self-sustaining nationally owned and resilient processes for post-crisis recovery through: * augmenting on-going humanitarian assistance operations; * supporting spontaneous recovery initiatives by affected communities; and * establishing the foundations of longer-term recovery. Early recovery encompasses the restoration of basic services, livelihoods, shelter, governance, security and the rule of law, environment and social dimensions, including the reintegration of displaced populations. Recovery programming works to restore services, livelihood opportunities and governance capacity. This must start as soon as possible in the humanitarian or emergency phase. The SPHERE minimum standards on livelihood recovery reflect on capabilities, assets (including natural, material and social resources) and activities used by a household for survival and future well-being. A household’s livelihood is secure when it can cope with and recover from shocks, maintain or enhance its capabilities and productive assets, and (re-)gain and sustain access to market and services. Coping strategies are defined as temporary responses forced by food or social-economic insecurity. **AusAid/OECD Gender Equality Toolkit**specifically calls for equitable access for women and men to employment and livelihood opportunities, to financial and economic services during recovery and reconstruction, and to opportunities to increase capacityto prepare for humanitarian emergencies and recover from them. |

| Data and information required to calculate the indicator Unit Description: Number and percentage Numerator: Number of households / people having received sector specific assistance by/through CARE (partners) caseload reached (reference: guidance note for participant reporting, PIIRS project categories). Denominator: Total number of disaster/crisis affected households / people overall caseload (specify if possible: HH / people in need of specific assistance specific caseload) Disaggregation: Mandatory: Sex, age and disability/special needs (specify Head of Household); Sector specific: Type of livelihood assistance received (cash; material; labor; services; other); Livelihood strategy (e.g. agriculture, livestock, paid labor); legal labor status (e.g. work permit, tax status) Context specific: legal status (host, IDP, refugee, registered / not registered); Household tenure situation (owner / owner-occupier; renter; squatter; no tenure); Type of settlement (urban / rural; formal / informal) or displacement site/situation (self-settled / planned camp; collective center; host family); |

| Suggested method for data collection & Possible data sources Monitoring this indicator will rely on a combination of primary and secondary/tertiary data sources with more or less comparable methodologies of data collection. Triangulation might be needed in order to consolidate confidence levels of data used. CARE should adopt data collection methodology for nominator to ensure alignment with most reliable sources for denominator data. Nominator: assistance monitoringconducted by CARE directly, through partners or remotely (third party); data collected through activity reports, observation at location, end user surveys etc. Denominator: mainly from secondary sources such Government/UN sanctioned general assessments (including MIRA or other multi-sectoral / interagency assessments); data can be further refined (e.g. with regards to disaggregation) / validated through more in depth assessments conducted by CARE including geo-data (coordinates) |
|
| Level of effort needed for data collection and reporting: MEDIUM HIGH Household specific monitoring for nominator and denominator data requires high level of effort including detailed surveying of households, geo-data, establishment of databases etc. LoE can be reduced by limiting detailed surveying to robust samples with potential for longitudinal surveying of sentinel households / sites. Frequency of reporting should be aligned with availability of secondary data for caseload (denominator) as well as with frequency of interventions by CARE and/or partners (e.g. post distribution monitoring, seasonal surveys, gender specific surveys). Minimum requirement: * Current status reported through sitreps (frequency varies); * consolidated data reported annually through PIIRS |
|
| Data analysis and interpretation of results for this indicator: explaining trends (e.g. caseload needs, actors providing assistance) during reporting time, how and why the outcome was reached, and how CARE contributed to the outcome This indicator requires constant adjustment of data with the documentation of trends on * caseload (overall, sector specific, reached by CARE) and disaggregation (see above) * assistance provided by CARE and others * alignment of assistance with minimum standards (SPHERE) and/or other multi-agency agreed standards * needs for goods / assets / income opportunities (at various stages post-acute crisis) To assess adequacy and gender sensitivity of assistance provided (by CARE and others) more analysis is required with regards to: * Extent to which assistance provided by CARE and/or others is aligned with global standards * Extent to which CARE interventions reach the most vulnerable groups (women & girls in particular) as identified through relevant assessments * Extent to which assistance provided supports livelihood resilience / recovery * Extent to which population recover goods / assets / income opportunities without external assistance |
|
| Other considerations Data related to the technical adequacy of assistance provided should always be analyzed while taking into account the feedback received from the affected population itself. Their perceptions are captured through data and information collected under the Global indicator related to the satisfaction of crisis/disaster affected people with the relevance, timeliness and accountability of humanitarian interventions in areas of CARE’s response. |
