Since 1998, FEG staff have carried out over 100 assessments in various contexts: emergency, development, refugee, post-conflict, peri-urban, urban and pastoral. All of our assessments deliver triangulated data to inform decision making processes, guide implementation, predict outcomes, and measure success for development, emergency relief, economic monitoring, national early warning and refugee response initiatives. We use the household economy approach (HEA) to guide our assessments, providing a detailed account of livelihood systems within a given population.
