The IAPP endline survey was implemented in Rangpur and Barisal districts only. However, the Baseline Household Survey was implemented in all eight project districts: Rangpur, Kurigram, Nilfamari, and Lalmonirhat districts in the North and Barisal, Patuakhali, Barguna, and Jhalokathi districts in the South.
IAPP interventions are based at the level of the farmer group. Eligibility was determined by IAPP targeting criteria, prioritizing crop farmers with marginal or small landholdings, and fishermen with access to ponds between 15-50 decimals. After sampling, the IAPP teams reached out to sampled farmers and attempted to involve them in IAPP groups. However, very few sampled farmers ended up joining livestock groups.
For the endline survey, the household sample was increased to reflect the project team's request for additional data on fisheries and livestock. The fisheries treatment sample at endline consists of 73 households, from the districts of Rangpur, Barisal, Kurigram, and Lalmonirhat. Out of the 73 households, 45 are sampled in baseline. The livestock treatment sample at endline consists of 298 households. These households were not sampled in the baseline round.
The extra samples for fisheries and livestock can be found in data files.
