FEG Consulting has been on the leading edge of livelihoods-based early warning
analysis since the group formed in 1998, building on international
concern to improve early warning and response capacity.
FEG has increased the breadth of HEA
application, using livelihoods analysis to strengthen early warning,
contingency planning and market support activities, and in
understanding access to non-food sectors such as education and health
services. In all HEA applications, the unifying element is the story
told about households. The innovative element is how this story is
expanded to wealth groups, livelihood zones, districts, nations and
regions.
