Post-distribution monitoring
This is carried out after the distribution in the homes of the beneficiaries. It assesses the relevance of the programme regarding the needs, the impact of the distribution and helps to define future beneficiary targeting. It evaluates how the ration is used and whether it meets beneficiaries’ nutritional needs, how it is redistributed within a household, what is its contribution to the household budget, and what is its impact on the local economy and production. The indicators used are: the percentage of food needs met by the distributed ration, the percentage of the ration consumed within the household, the price of basic food items, and the percentage of the ration in the household budget.
PRA / RRA
PRA (Participatory Rural Assessments) and RRA (Rapid Rural Appraisals) are both part of a group of assessment methods which aim to identify needs for programme planning, in various sectors (health, nutrition, food security, etc.). In PRA, the emphasis lies in the participation of the studied population to better identify the needs. PRA and RRA include a variety of data collection and analysis methods, such as group interviews, direct observation, mapping, questionnaires, stories, etc. (the list is far from exhaustive). (note: the mapping mentioned here means to make maps, and is not the same as the mapping –“zonage”– defined below).
Prevalence rate
Number of declared cases of a disease in a given area, at a given point in time, divided by the population present in this area at that point in time.
Primary Health Care
A practical approach to make essential care universally accessible to individuals and families in the community in an acceptable and affordable way, and with their full participation.
Project Cycle Management
