The Household Economy Approach

Save the Children UK

Published in : 2000

Available in : English

The aim of this manual is to describe the components of the HEA and the
practical techniques needed to use them. It is primarily intended as a reference for people who have already had, or are engaged in, practical training in HEA.
We suggest that readers of the manual who wish to use the approach to make significant operational decisions (for example, to supply food aid) should also obtain training. Save the Children is now developing training in field techniques and information use. The more specialised use of the HEA over larger geographical areas and for other purposes, and the use of computer techniques for analysis, are briefly described in the Annexes. The emphasis of this book is on the rural economy, with particular reference to Africa.
