2.5 Development of the detailed workplan
Follow up to the reconnaissance field visit the study team members have developed a detailed work- plan and forwarded to FAO and DAE for suggestion and clearance. The detailed work-plan then updated and the field activities have been planned with National Subcomponent Manager and other officials for organizing the field sessions and workshops accordingly.
2.6 Identification of the major vulnerable livelihood groups
An exercise of identification of the major livelihood groups has been performed by the CEGIS study team during the reconnaissance field visit (11-14 July, 2005). The major livelihood groups emerged in the study area are as follows:
Farmer (small/marginal/large)
Wage labourers
Petty traders/businessmen
Fishers (very few in numbers and primarily seasonal)
Large businessmen (can be considered as least vulnerable)
From this initial identification of the livelihood groups existing in the study villages major livelihood groups and vulnerable groups have been selected. Detailed discussion on the selection process and relevant statistics are outlined in the Chapter 5 of the report.
