Well-being Analysis or Participatory Identification of the Poor
Purpose of the Well Being
Analysis:
Well-being analysis is fundamental to understand the community, its
level of poverty, how different people experience poverty and marginalization,
as well as relations between rich and poor and how these are structured. Well-being analysis is an important
participatory method that captures people’s perceptions of poverty and
identifies different classes and interest groups with whom problems and desired
activities can be explored. However, the
analysis outlined here, will allow the projects to use the exercise to identify
its ‘target’ population from the bottom two categories of households.
The Process of the Well
Being Analysis:
The exercise requires that the facilitators visit the community more
than once
On the first visit
a) They transect the settlement/community to
explore the number of neighborhoods.& meet with people to get a sense of
the number of households,
b) Identify a suitable place in which all
residents are comfortable (a neutral place, e.g. not in front of an elites’
house), including the poorest and most vulnerable, for example single, widowed,
divorced, abandoned women;
c) Find out which day and at which time most
people are free and available,
d) And inform as many households as possible
when and where the meeting will be held.
On the second visit (the day of the exercise)
Step 1 – Introduction and Objective
Step 2 – Capturing Each Household and the
“Invisible Poor”
Step 3 – Classification of households.
