HUM 006 People provided with resources to rebuild livelihood assets

Indicator Definition

Indicator Name HUM 006 Number of people provided with resources that enable them to protect and start rebuilding livelihood assets
Indicator Definition

This indicator measures the number of individuals supported in the immediate aftermath of a crisis by replacing critical productive assets that were destroyed by the disaster. The goal is to support and strengthen their rapid economic recovery without undermining the local economy and/or reducing vulnerability to future crises. 

Resources that enable people to protect and rebuild their livelihood assets include seeds, livestock, tools, business grant etc. 

Any kind of transfer modality (in-kind, voucher, cash) and combination thereof to support, protect and enable the restoration/protection/access of/to livelihood assets.  

Note: HUM 001 and HUM 006 are mutually exclusive within a single report. If a project supports the same target group with activities to cover both basic needs and to replace assets, select the most appropriate of the two indicators based on the relative activity volume.

Measuring Unit

Individuals who have received support to protect and rebuild their livelihood assets

Examples of Actvities

  • Distribution of agricultural tools, seeds, and other inputs to restore farming activities. 

  • Provision of livestock or poultry to replace animals lost in a disaster. 

  • Support for small business recovery through the provision of equipment or materials (e.g. apiculture)

  • Cash or voucher assistance specifically aimed at replacing or protecting productive assets. 

  • Provision of materials for shelter reconstruction that serve as assets for livelihood activities (e.g., materials for market stalls, workshops). 

  • Implementation of programs aimed at rebuilding or protecting community-level infrastructure that supports livelihoods (e.g., irrigation systems, fishing gear). 

Data Collection

Data Source and Means of Verification
  • Project Reports: Documentation from project activities including beneficiary registration forms, distribution lists, and receipts for asset replacement. 

  • Post-distribution monitoring surveys to verify the receipt and use of livelihood assets. 

Measuring Frecuency

Data should be collected continuously as assistance is implemented and reported annually.

Data Collection Guidance

Data should be collected continuously as assistance is implemented and reported annually.  

Regular Monitoring: Collect data through beneficiary registration forms, distribution lists, and project reports. 

Post-Distribution Monitoring (PDM): Conduct surveys or interviews with beneficiaries after they have received support to confirm the receipt and use of livelihood assets. 

Field Observations: Conduct site visits to observe the use of distributed assets and verify their positive effects on livelihood recovery. 

Common Challenges

Challenge: Ensuring that distributed assets are actually used for their intended purpose and contribute to livelihood recovery. 

Approach: Use PDM surveys and field observations to verify the use of assets. 

Challenge: Avoid counting individuals who may have received multiple forms of support under different actvities. 

Approach: Have a good primary stakeholder database in place, best with unique houshold IDs 

How to report

Aggregate the total number of individuals who have received support to protect and rebuild their livelihood assets, disaggregated by the relevant categories.
