1Executive Summary During the design phase for CLP-2, data were provided by Implementing Organisations (IMOs) about the number of island chars and the population living on those island chars in the districts of Nilphamari, Rangpur, Lalmonirhat, Pabna and Tangail, the CLP-2 working area. The purpose of this study was to verify the accuracy of that data and provide an estimate about the number of core participant households (CPHHs) currently living in island char villages in these districts. Data were first collected during February 2010 in Lalmonirhat, Nilphamari and Rangpur. Six villages were randomly selected, two from each district, and enumerators from a local company, Grameen Bikash Foundation (GBF), collected socio-economic data from every household in these six villages. In addition, CLP Data Entry and Monitoring Officers (DEMOs) visited every island char village to understand the boundaries, the population and to collect GPS coordinates. A second survey, using the same approach was conducted during May 2010 from 3 island char villages in Pabna and 4 island char villages in Tangail. Data were also collected from 3 more villages, one each from Nilphamari, Lalmonirhat and Rangpur to increase the sample size in these Districts. A team of CLP Community Development Organisers (CDOs) visited all island char villages in Tangail and Pabna to understand their boundaries, their population and to collect their GPS coordinates. The data indicate there are lower than expected numbers of households likely to meet the current CLP selection criteria. Factors contributing to this are the relatively smaller number of island chars and consequently smaller island char population in the ‘new’ CLP districts compared to the ‘old’ CLP districts. The study shows that 23.7% of households living in island char villages across the five Districts meet the CLP selection criteria which equates to about 18,000 households. Combining this figure with the 21,259 CLP-1 ‘missed’ households in Kurigram and Gaibandha (therefore totalling 39,312 households) will mean a shortfall of approximately 27,688 households in reaching the target of support to 67,000 core participant households. Modifying the CLP criteria to not exclude households that share crop and that have assets of value up to 15,000 Taka, could be an option for achieving the target of 67,000 CPHHs. This would create a ‘second tier’ of CPHH who are still extremely vulnerable who could receive a reduced package of support from the Programme. Another option would be to target households on island char villages falling under other Districts e.g. island char villages further up the Padma River towards the border with India.

1. 2Purpose of the study The CLP-2 logical framework included in the Programme Memorandum (dated 2nd March 2010) states that the Programme will provide support to 67,000 core participant households (CPHHs). During the design phase for CLP-2, data were provided by three implementing organisations (IMOs) on the number of island char villages and their population within the proposed CLP-2 working area. These data were clearly important for planning purposes and consequently needed verifying. For planning purposes it was also important to understand how many households would be likely to meet CLP’s selection criteria from this island char population, whether the target of 67,000 could be achieved and what their demographic and socio-economic characteristics were. The purpose of this study was therefore to:

• verify the data on the approximate number of island char villages and island char households previously provided by implementing organisations (IMOs);

• provide an indication of the likely number of households that meet CLP selection criteria in island char villages from the five ‘new’ districts, namely Lalmonirhat, Rangpur, Nilphamari, Pabna and Tangail;

• collect basic demographic, socio-economic, food security, income and expenditure, and asset data on island char households in the five ‘new’ districts.

2. 3Methodology Two surveys were conducted. The first survey was carried out in Lalmonirhat, Nilphamari and Rangpur during February 2010. This involved: a) Grameen Bikash Foundation (GBF), a local data collection company, visiting all households from six randomly selected villages (two from each district) and administering the questionnaire contained in Annex 1; and b) CLP’s Data Entry and Monitoring Officers (DEMOs) visiting all island char villages to geo-reference them, to understand their boundaries and to ascertain the exact number of households living there. An initial analysis indicated a lower than expected number of households likely to meet the CLP criteria. The response was two-fold. Firstly, a team from the Innovation, Monitoring and Learning Division (IML) was mobilised to ‘ground truth’ the results in Lalmonirhat, Nilphamari and Rangpur which found the data to be a true reflection of the actual situation on the ground. Secondly, a survey was planned for Pabna and Tangail. The second survey followed the same methodology as the first. Data were collected from all households residing in seven villages from Pabna and Tangail during May 2010, employing the questionnaire in Annex 1. In addition, data were collected from 3 more villages in Lalmonirhat, Rangpur and Nilphamari to increase the sample size in these districts. CLP CDOs visited all island char villages in Pabna and Tangail to geo-reference them, to understand their boundaries and to ascertain the number of households living there.

3.1. 9Assessment of the data provided by IMOs Prior to this survey, data were provided for the five ‘new’ districts on the number of unions, the number of island char villages and the number of households living in island char villages by three implementing organisations. Rangpur, Dinajpur Rural Service (RDRS) provided data for Rangpur, Lalmonirhat and Nilphamari; Gono Kalyan Sangstha (GKS) provided data for Pabna and Manab Mukti Sangha (MMS) provided data for Tangail. This information was verified by CLP’s DEMOs and CDOs. The DEMOs and CDOs visited all island char villages to verify their existence, their boundaries and the number of households residing there. They also took GPS coordinates from the centre of each island char village. This study has defined an island char as any of the following2

3:

• year round island char village (never attached to mainland and no section of village part of mainland);

• during extreme dry seasons the island char on which the village is located appears to be attached for a short period of time.

Annex 3 provides a list of all island char villages that were identified by the DEMOs for all five Districts. 1 CLP data, rather than INO data, on number of island char villages and the island char population are used for all five Districts. 2Ibid. 3 In some instances a village may have been split into two (or more) sections due to erosion/ flooding. One part may be attached to the mainland and the other located on an island char but both retain the same name. This survey has focused only on that part of the village located on an island char.

There are +/- 260 island chars in the ‘new’ districts compared to +/- 650 in the ‘old’ districts. The number of households living on island chars in the five ‘new’ districts is just +/- 76,000 compared to +/- 186,000 in the ‘old’ districts.

3.2. 1 0Households meeting CLP selection criteria Table 4 shows the proportion of sampled households meeting the CLP selection criteria. These selection criteria are:

• residency of at least six months in the village; • no ownership of homestead or cultivable land; • not share-cropping; • productive assets =< 5,000 Tk.; • no outstanding loans from a microfinance or credit programme; • not in receipt of NGO cash or asset transfer grants.

If the information in Table 4 is used as a guide on the likely number of CPHHs that meet CLP criteria then there are likely to be +/- 18,000 CPHHs from across the 5 ‘new’ districts (Table 5).

The current CLP-2 logical framework defines a target of support to 67,000 CPHHs. Table 6 shows that CLP is likely to fall short of achieving this target based on current plans and the data provided from this survey.

3.2.1. 1 3Modifying CLP criteria to identify more CPHHs Modifying selection criteria would be one way of increasing the number of CPHHs from across the 5 ‘new’ districts. However, this section shows that modifying single selection criteria, even dropping them completely, does not significantly increase the number of CPHHs. For example, Table 7 shows that changing the criteria of ‘productive asset ownership’ from Tk. 5,000 to Tk. 9,000 will only result in an additional 1% (+/- 760 CPHHs) of households from across the five ‘new’ Districts (all other criteria remaining constant)

4 The individual columns do not add up to the ‘total’ exactly because they use different denominators. 5 The 21,259 ‘missed households’ from Kurigram and Gaibandha include households from Bhurungamari and Rajarhat. It is estimated there are +/- 3,000 CPHH from these Upazilas based on the following: there are 18 island char villages; a population of 5,890 living in these island char villages and the assumption that 50% of households will meet CLP selection criteria. Potential households from Nageshwari are not included.

becoming eligible for entry into the programme. Even if this criteria were to be dropped entirely then the proportion of households meeting all other selection criteria from across the five ‘new’ districts would increase to 29.9%, equivalent to an additional +/- 4,700 CPHHs.

Even if this criteria were to be dropped entirely then the proportion of households meeting all other selection criteria from across the five ‘new’ districts would increase to 26.1%, equivalent to an additional +/- 1,828 CPHHs. Dropping the criteria of ‘no outstanding loans from a microfinance or credit programme’ but keeping all other criteria constant would not significantly increase the number of CPHHs. The proportion of CPHHs would increase from 23.7% to 26.6% equivalent to +/- 2,200 CPHHs. Similarly, dropping the criteria ‘in receipt of NGO cash/ asset transfer grants’ but keeping all other criteria only increases the proportion of CPHHs from 23.7% to 24.3%, equivalent to +/- 450 CPHHs (see tables 4 and 5 respectively in Annex 2.) Modifying the criteria of ‘no share-cropping’ and keeping all other criteria constant would have the greatest impact in terms of increasing the number of CPHHs (Table 8). If this criteria were to be dropped entirely then the proportion of households meeting all other selection criteria from across the five ‘new’ districts would increase to 31.5%, which equates to approximately 23,994 households i.e. an additional +/- 5,900 CPHHs.

Clearly, modifying a single criterion does not significantly increase the number of CPHH. An option therefore would be to modify two criteria and target a ‘second tier’ of households who do not meet the full CLP criteria but who are still poor and vulnerable. These households could receive a ‘reduced package’ from CLP. Analysis shows that allowing households to share crop and allowing households to have assets of up to 15,000 Taka (as opposed to 5,000 Taka) would result in an additional +/- 10,000 households from the 5 ‘new’ districts and an additional +/- 10,200 households from Kurigram and Gaibandha.5

3.3. 1 1Achieving the target of 67,000 CPHH: Consolidating the Numbers Table 9 shows how CLP can achieve the target of 67,000 CPHH if the selection criteria of share cropping and asset status are modified thus creating a ‘second tier’ of CPHHs, as explained above.

3.4. 1 2Demographic and socio-economic characteristics of households This section provides information on core demographic and socio-economic indicators for both future CPHHs (i.e. those meeting the CLP criteria) and the wider population in the five ‘new’ districts. Comparisons are also made with data from CLP1’s Asset Transfer Phase 4 (ATP4).

6 Relaxing the criteria in the 5 new districts results in 10,050 more households (or 13% of the island char households). If we apply the same principle in Kurigram and Gaibandha where there are approx 79,000 households (in CLP 2.1 and 2.2 villages) then we estimate an additional 10,200 households.

3.4.1. 1 4Household size and composition Table 9 shows that households meeting the CLP criteria in the ‘new’ districts are both smaller and have a higher proportion of female headed households than all the sampled households. An earlier study conducted by IML supports these data on household size suggesting that poorer households are smaller because of partition6

7. One would expect a higher proportion of female headed households amongst the relatively poorer households. Table 9: Household demographics Hhs meeting

The methodology used in this study to calculate income was identical to that followed for ATP4. Data show that income levels are higher in the ‘new’ districts than amongst ATP4 households, indicating a relatively higher level of wealth amongst the former. This explains why fewer CPHH have been identified than expected. Figures 1 and 2 support this by illustrating that relatively high proportions of all sampled households have income and expenditure levels in excess of Tk. 3,500 over the last 30 days.

As one might expect, Table 11 shows that adults and children from future CPHHs in the ‘new’ districts applied more food coping strategies during the last 30 days compared to all sampled households. Under 5 children were subject to fewer coping strategies than their parents. Table 11: Food coping strategies Hhs meeting CLP

4. 5Conclusion and Recommendations This survey has shown that the number of households meeting all the CLP selection criteria in the five ‘new’ districts is lower than anticipated by the designers of the CLP-2 Concept Paper i.e. approximately +/- 18,000 CPHH have been identified. However, past experience has shown that additional CPHHs will be identified in the ‘new’ districts e.g. as households fragment so they can qualify for CLP support. There will however certainly still remain a significant shortfall in the region of 20,000 or so HH meeting all CLP selection criteria. Options to ensure the target of supporting 67,000 CPHHs include:

• modifying selection criteria and creating a second tier of CPHH - of the six criteria, allowing households to share crop and have assets valued up to 15,000 Taka would have the greatest impact allowing the inclusion of a further +/- 10,000 from the new districts and +/- 10,000 from Kurigram and Gaibandha. These households could receive a reduced package of support;

• focusing on new areas outside the 5 ‘new’ districts e.g. supporting households on island chars between Natore and Kushtia (North-west of Pabna) towards the Indian border. The impact of extending to the West is uncertain until a similar study is carried out;
