INDICATOR 1: % increase in income compared to baseline for HH and/or impact population
Why this indicator? What will it measure and provide information for?
Income is an important pathway for food and nutrition security as well as for resilience to financial shocks or disasters. Increased income is assumed to have a positive impact on all livelihood components (assumptions will need to be tested and spending of additional income will vary depending on HH priority). As much as possible, this indicator should be analyzed against the minimum leaving wage for capturing poverty levels.

* SDG Goal 8
