Trip Report--Greater Horn of Africa, Ethiopia: January 10-30, 2000

Abstract

"This Trip Report covers my activities from January 10 to January 30, 2000, when I traveled to Ethiopia as a researcher for the BASIS Greater Horn of Africa Program. A detailed account of my activities is given in Appendix A.

"The purpose of my research trip was to: -- Work jointly with the Institute for Development Research's (IDR) staff, with Michael Roth, and (via e-mail communication) with Peter Little and Charlotte Johnson-Welch in developing a research design for the household survey phase of the project entitled 'From Household to Region: Factor Market Constraints to Income and Food Security in a Highly Diverse Environment, South Wello, Ethiopia.' Specifically, this involved selecting the sampling strategies and data collection procedures, as well as drafting the household survey instruments. -- Field test the survey instruments in South Wello. -- Prepare recommendations for the follow-up study."
