Baseline survey: Economic Recovery and Market System - Kachin State ? NGCA area , January 201 5

Description: 

Conclusion: "After the beneficiary baseline survey, KBC found that beneficiaries count a lot on food aid (cash for curry) as a regular source of income (for an average of 39,750 MMK per month and per family). 47% of them have no other source of income. However, 39% of the beneficiaries work to have a permanent income for an average of monthly income of 65,000 MMK. The other 13% have a more or less regular source of income based on daily work or agricultural labor at some specific period of the year (from 1 to 3 months per year). In average, they earn 33,600 MMK per month worked. Globally, the households earn in average around 65,000 MMK per month but the median value is more around 49,000 MMK a month. Regarding expenditure on food, bigger families do spend more in general in order to cover every members? needs. On average, one household spends 29,367 MMK a month for food, which corresponds to 5,563 MMK per person. Finally, regarding non-food expenditures, we notice that these expenses remain in majority for basic needs like health, education, clothes but also for social events which accounts for the biggest percentage, and investments. In average, households have spent 58,109 MMK in non-food expenditures the month before the survey. For 69% of the households, this amount is similar to any other month. For these 69%, an amount of 18,714 MMK was spent for non-food expenditure."
