1.4.9 Survey Instruments<br />
Comprehensive check lists have been prepared in line with the research enquiries and the set of<br />
parameters. The checklists for Actors, FGDs and Key-Informants are presented in Annex F. The<br />
survey instruments have been pre-tested in the field and feedbacks from a number of experts<br />
obtained have been incorporated.<br />
1.4.10 Upazila Profile<br />
Besides Value Chain Analysis, upazila profiles for all the ten upazilas have been prepared<br />
incorporating aspects such as population, education, health, occupation, poverty, agricultural and<br />
non-farm activities, manufacturing, institutions and organizations.<br />
1.4.11 Forming Research Team<br />
A core research team, the body responsible for carrying out the study, has been formed, with<br />
Principal Investigator, three Assistant Principal Investigators, five Field Officers and two<br />
analysts. A few local NGOs, such as CCEC and PRADIPAN, have provided substantial inputs<br />
to this study. Following experiences from pilot and reconnaissance surveys, deployment of Field<br />
Officers were preferred from local areas to conduct the main survey.<br />
1.4.12 Deliverables and Outputs<br />
Principal deliverables and outputs include the following:<br />
• Value chain flowcharts for the major actors with estimates of returns at each stage of the<br />
chains<br />
• Identification of the leading and most powerful economic actors involved with primary<br />
marketed value chains derived from the Sundarbans, including estimates of the income<br />
derived from those value chains<br />
• Recommendations of strategies for intervening in the value chains for these major products<br />
• Identification of strategies undertaken currently for climate change adaptation strategies by<br />
key members of primary SRF value chains<br />
• Upazila profiles for all the ten upazilas, and<br />
• A draft report and a final report, including recommendations on the above issues<br />
1.4.13 Structure of the Report<br />
The report is organized in six chapters along the major theme of the study - value chain analysis of<br />
SRF extraction activities. Starting with the Chapter 1 presenting the study background, objectives,<br />
relevant issues and methodology, Chapter 2 presents SIZ district and upazila profiles which will<br />
help understanding the socio-economic and poverty situations of the SIZ (Sudarbans Impact<br />
Zone), comprising 5 districts and 10 upazilas. Chapter 3 presents the survey findings on, among<br />
