Executive Summary
This baseline survey was undertaken in the 6 targeted districts (Wusab Al Alie, Wusab Alsafl,
Utmah) in Dhamar governorate and (Zabid, Alluheya, and Al Marawia’a) in Al-Hudaydah
governorate during 7-13 June in Dhamar and 1-8 July in Hudaydah 2021.
The aim of this survey was to provide an information base, against which the effectiveness of
implemented programme activities is to be evaluated and assessed.
The total number participants in the survey were 701, from which 47 participants were females
while the remaining 654 participants were males, who constituted 93% of the overall surveyed
beneficiaries.
Regarding the food conception score, the analysis of the results yielded a total of 207, 92 and
71 participants with acceptable, borderline and poor food consumption score for Dhamar,
respectively, as for Al-Hudaidah governorate, the analysis yielded 138, 108 and 85 with
acceptable, borderline and poor food consumption score, respectively.
Household dietary diversity analysis yielded 261 participants in Phase 1-2 in the IPC classification,
100 in phase 3 and 9 in Phase 4-5 for interviewees of Dhamar governorate, as for Al-Hudaidah
governorate, 251 participants were found to be in Phase 1-2, 64 in Phase 3, 15 in Phase 4-5.

Introduction
The deteriorating situation is driven by the rapidly worsening economic situation and continuous
conflict, further exacerbated by COVID-19 restriction measures, and natural hazards. This
combination of factors has significantly eroded the ability of households to cope with new and
intensifying shocks. The erosion of households’ purchasing power affects access to food and
agricultural inputs, especially with an increased strain on remittances due to COVID-19 restrictions
abroad. A high percentage of households are highly reliant on humanitarian food assistance to
meet their daily food needs.
People are now at higher risk, and less able to cope, than at any stage. Negative coping
mechanisms and harmful practices are spreading across the country. Al Hudaydah is one of the
governorates that were facing IPC 5 in 2018, and currently several of its districts are at a critical
stage where if un-responded to will lead to a fallback to an epidemic famine. 65% of the districts
of Al Hudaydah are at IPC4 with the remaining IPC phase 3 and deteriorating. Dhamar is an
adjacent governorate where currently high load of IDPs is residing increasing the load on an
already deteriorating situation.
Through the Food Assistance for Assets (FFA) Project, BFD coordinated with the local authorities in
Al Hudaydah and Dhamar Govs, aiming to provide livelihood opportunities to 4,706 vulnerable
people to enhance and strengthen the access to equitable social safety nets and basic services
during the project life time (6 months) and beyond by strengthening the resiliency of vulnerable
households, restoring their assets and making a significant contribution towards improving their
food security and nutrition status.
The FFA activities under the resilience project include; repair and light construction of roads,
construction and rehabilitation of rainwater harvesting tanks/reservoirs, fodder production,
terraces rehabilitation, and land regeneration through control of soil erosion.

Objectives of the Baseline Survey
The aim of this survey was to measure baseline indicators for the project of food for asset (FFA) to
determine resilience by strengthening livelihoods and measure the changes in food security and
other relevant indicators to start the project comparison and measuring the district needs for
assets. The key focus of the baseline survey is to understand the current food security and
livelihood situation of the population (information on demographics, displacements and current
status, housing and facilities, household and productive assets, livelihoods and income,
expenditure, and food consumption)
Scope of the Baseline Survey
The baseline survey covered all areas within the scope of the project in the two governorates
Dhamar and Al Hudaydah for Wusab Al Alie, Wusab Alsafil, Utmah, Zabid, Alluheya, and Al
Marawia districts.
Methodology
Sample size
Random sampling approach was adopted with 95% confidence level and 5% precision level to
have a representative result at the two governorates. The total number of households at each
governorate is 3330 and 1376 for Dhamar and Al Hudaydah, repectively, therefore, after
calculating the sample for each governorate a 20% from the required sample was added to
each governorate resulting in 414 (345 + 69) for Dhamar, and 361 (301+60) for Al Hudaydah.
However, the number of interviewed beneficiaries is 701, which is more than is required sample
number of 620. Nonetheless, after determining the sample number for each governorate, the
number was distributed among all the targeted locations in the different districts to include
beneficiaries falling under the different targeting criteria.
During the survey, 701 households were interviewed in 7-13 June and 1-8 July in the following two
governorates: Dhamar and Al Hudaydah.
Questionnaire
The Baseline survey was conducted through quantitative and qualitative data collection
designed using questionnaires that have been contextually developed to address the indicators
proposed and measure the change of food security among beneficiaries who fall under the
different following criteria:
✓ Displaced households
✓ Households headed by persons unable to earn an income from their own work, such as
those headed by widowed, divorced or separated women, elderly and disabled
✓ Poor households from the socially and economically marginalized communities (homeless
people);
✓ Households that depended on the Social Welfare Fund or community charity as their main
source of income
✓ Households that depended on an income earned from daily wage for livelihood and
access to food and that no longer have access to casual work.

Recruiting and training the surveying teams.

Before launching the baseline survey, BFD recruited a team for each one of the two governorates
and one supervisor for each team, and 20 surveyors. Teams were trained together on how to
collect the data, which allows minimizing data collection errors.
The training process was conducted, the field staff was trained for two days, one day in classroom
to understand the objectives, protocols, questionnaires, sampling and interview techniques. On
the second day; hands-on practical exercises were done in nearby villages. The final draft of the
questionnaire was thoroughly discussed and practiced to ensure that the enumerators and team
leaders understood the questions to avoid bias in administering the questionnaire. Team leaders
were given additional training and guidelines about their roles and responsibilities which included
ensuring adherence to the household selection protocols, ensuring that all questionnaires were
completed appropriately and consistently. The team leaders were also assigned the responsibility
of sampling households and conducting interviews with beneficiaries at the community targeted
level. The survey was carried out during ten days of the month of March 2020 before implantation
the project. The period of the project six months, starting in April 2020.

Figure 1 Demographics
Figure 1 shows how many of the planned beneficiaries belong to each of the targeting criteria.
Note that responses were not mutually exclusive so it is possible that respondents may meet
several criteria. It is found that 54% of the beneficiaries in the surveyed areas depended on
income earned from daily non-farm wages/ casual work. For their livelihood and access to food
before the crisis and no longer having access to casual work, 34% of the beneficiaries in the
surveyed areas depended on income earned from daily farm wages/ casual work. For their
livelihood and access to food before the crisis and no longer having access to casual work.
About 95 % of the beneficiary households are found to be males, while we found that 5% of the
beneficiary households are found to be female, which is in line with previous monitoring exercises
among beneficiary households, 15% of the beneficiaries have a disabled person while the 2014
CFSS found that 91% of the households in Yemen are males. The average household size is seven,
which is the same as the national average recognized by the government of Yemen and the
humanitarian community. The demographic composition of the households is 48.1% men and
51.9% women, which is very close to the national average of 49.6% men and 50.4% women
according to the 2004 Yemen Population Census.

Food Consumption
Figure 2 Food Consumption Score (FCS) typical profile thresholds.

The household Food Consumption Score (FCS) module is used as a proxy indicator for household
food security. The Food Consumption Score is a measure of dietary diversity, food frequency and
the relative nutritional importance of the food consumed. The FCS is used to classify households
into three groups: poor, borderline or acceptable food consumption, and the households with
acceptable food consumption are considered food secure, while those with borderline or poor
food consumption are considered moderately or severely food insecure
The results of the baseline survey indicate a food insecurity level in the two surveyed governorates.
As shown in Figure 1, only 49% of the beneficiary households are food secure or able to meet their
essential food needs. 28% of the beneficiary household's borderline are moderately food insecure
or are marginally unable to meet minimum food needs. The remaining 23% of the beneficiary
households are severely food insecure food consumption.
Food Consumption Score (FCS)

Food consumption score (FCS) is a proxy indicator of household food security levels. FCS is a
composite score that takes into account the frequency of consumption of various food groups
and their relative importance in a household’s diet (diversity and weight). Scores are categorized
into poor, borderline, and acceptable consumption. Overall, in the 6 districts per two targeted
governates are describes as the following:

Figure 3 Dietary Diversity Score (DDS)
The findings of the baseline survey indicate the dietary diversity score for the beneficiaries
according to governorate, as shown in Figure 3, the beneficiary households are found to
consume three food types per week on average. The three most consumed food types are
found to be cereals, oil and vegetable for the beneficiaries. the stark difference in the share of
the households consuming each food group except for cereals and oil.
Since oil is a basic resource for cooking in Dhamar, the percentage of consuming it is high, which
is 41%.
Since Al Hudaydah is a coastal area, the percentage of the respondents who consume fish daily
is 34% which is a very high percentage, and the cost of fish is cheap there.
The findings of the baseline survey also indicate the household dietary diversity score for the
beneficiaries according to 6 districts in tow governorates as:

First; Dhamar Gov.
Wusab Al-Alie District
Analysis shows that 60% of HHs in the district fall 3

under phase 1 or 2 on the IPC scale, meaning
that they have reached the minimal and stress

of HHs suffer from gaps in their food needs as 54
they are in the crisis level of the food security
scale. However, the remaining 2% are those who

remaining 8% are those who are classified as 90
as these HHs are significantly lacking food security
and suffer from large gaps in their food needs.

Consumption-based reduced Coping Strategies
The reduced Coping Strategy Index (rCSI) is an additional proxy indicator of household food
security to better understand the frequency and severity of changes in food consumption
behaviors when faced with a shortage of food. Households were asked how mansy of the
preceding seven days they did not have enough food or money to buy food. The higher the CSI
value, the higher the degree of food insecurity. The minimum possible CSI value is 0, while the
maximum is 68. During the findings of the baseline survey, we noticed an increase in the rate of
rely on less preferred and less expensive foods 68%, the borrowing food/ money from friends and
relatives 53 %, the limiting portions at mealtime 58%, limiting adult intake 50%, reducing the
number of meals per day 50% As shown in Figure 4.

Main ways to obtain food
The Main ways to obtain food is measured to better understand longer-term household coping
capacities. Household livelihood and economic security is determined by income, expenditures
and assets. Understanding the behaviors households engage in to adapt to recent crises provides
insights into the difficulty of their situation, and how likely they will be to meet challenges in the
future. Households were asked if anyone in their households had to engage in any of the ten
coping strategies because there was not enough food or money to buy food during the past 30
days. One neutral strategy, four stress strategies, three crisis strategies, and three emergency
strategies were asked based on the severity of the strategies. The higher the CSI value, the higher
the degree of food insecurity.
As shown in Figure 5, the main ways to obtain food when faced with a shortage of food are to:
1) Buying by debt or cash (70%);
2) gifts from friends and relatives (30%).
