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 />

• 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 />
