RAPID FOLLOW UP FOOD SECURITY ASSESSMENTFlood and Water Logging Affected Areas of Satkhira and Jessore
Outline of Presentation
Methodology and field work process Lessons learnt and Recommendation
Key Findings Food Availability: Local Agriculture
Dynamics Food Accessibility: Income and other issues Food Utilization: WaSH, Under Nutrition and
other issues Coping Strategies and Priority Needs Overall Need in the Area
Lessons learned and recommendations Checklists required more contextualization Field practice was required for the
enumerators Group formation and relative representation
of the communities More preparatory work for UzDMC and
UDMC consultation meeting is required Preparing questionnaire bank for each of
the dimensions of Food Security Organizing a core expert team from TWG
members to do this Field practice of the enumerator
Boro- ‘average yield’ with low price
•Per acre profit is only 4577 tk.
•Average yield/acre is almost same
as last years
•Price has decrease almost 27%
comparing last year.
•How much a marginal farmer (less
then 1.5 acre) can reinvest?
Other crops
No Maize and Mungbean. Only in 29 % of the communities usually
cultivates other pulses and oil seeds. Prospect seems to be moderate to normal.

Health risk?
•OD along with child
feces disposal is a critical health threat to the overall well being of the
communities.
Maps been produced considering 3 criteria;1.Priority ranking by the UzDMC and UDMC members2.Filtering with last boro production3.Further filtering with aman potential.
