Baseline Impact Assessment Report: Addressing Climate Change Risks on Water Resources and Food Security in the Dry Zone of Myanmar

November 25, 2016

The Baseline Report intends to explore 3 main areas of impacts (fresh water access, food security and livelihoods for the landless and marginal farmers) within the areas of attention of AF project, and establishes a sound quantitative baseline for these topics. The end-line impact assessment, to be administered towards the end of the project - will enable the project to assess the level of impact it had in these key impacts areas.

The baseline survey results will play a fundamental role in the evaluation of UNDP intervention. The baseline survey forms the basis on which to assess the effectiveness and outcomes of UNDP program and intervention, particularly in terms of improvements to fresh water access, food security and livelihoods. The findings of the survey in AF villages and control villages will then be evaluated and compared with the results from the end-line survey. The aim is for the baseline and end-line surveys to be compared allowing for the identification of change and taking into consideration and interpretation of observed trends.

Changes will be analyzed through the complex prism of socio-economic interactions and natural world events, to determine if change resulted from the intervention or from other influences of outside forces and events beyond the control of the project.
