| L_shocks_final_label | The purpose of this section is to capture any transfers that the household may have received from any sources - Government, NGO, friends and family, food aid or other sources. Informal evidence suggests that such transfers are often an important means for households to cope with poverty and especially to shocks. These are thus very important for our study. For each of the sources of transfers, we ask whether the household (HH) received any transfers whether in cash or in kind from that source (e.g. Govt., NGO etc.) If the HH received any transfers, we ask the value of the transfer in cash and in kind. If the HH did not receive any transfers from a source we move to the next source. This module aims to look at whether households are using money or barter in most areas, their access to credit, their vulnerability to shocks and their ability to cope with these shocks. Denial of access to credit, and being affected by severe shocks, are often thought of as contributors and even lead causes of poverty and its persistence. Thus their inclusion in a poverty study. | 4969 | 219 |
