Group kits No Activity-Kit No. of Kits Group % of the total group kits distributed 1 Fishing 21 55,3 2 Carpenter 10 26.3 3 Processing machine 6 15.8 4 Mason 1 2.6 Total 38 100 % The group kits identified concerned mainly the fishing activities (55.3%) and the carpenter activities (26.3%). Out of 21 activities identified, 8 concern both Christians and Moslems, 6 activities concern only Christians and 7 activities only Moslems. Per community the most “popular” kits identified and distributed are: • For the Christians: Farming, Cake Maker, Fishing Group and Carpenter group. • For the Moslems: Cake Maker, Fishing Individual, Fried Cake and Farming. According to the specificity of each kit distributed, men are the main users of 66% of the kits and women of 34% of the kits. This higher proportion of men is due to the activities such as farming, fishing and construction most of the time chosen by men. Nevertheless, women are fully concerned by farming activities, as they are responsible for production selling in case of surplus. The impact of the distribution NB: all the results presented in this part are based on the sample of families interviewed. Methodology In order to monitor the impact of the IGA, 96 families were interviewed representing represent 27.5% of the kits distributed. As some families benefited from the same kit the sample represents 17% of the total families beneficiary. 16 activities out INCOME GENERATING ACTIVITIES: A KEY CONCEPT IN SUSTAINABLE FOOD SECURTIY 205
➔ of the 21 were monitored (some small activities representing few kits are missing). The sample concerns equally Christian and Moslem communities. Gender activity In 70% of the families visited the men are the main users of the kits. The data show a slight difference between the two communities: 56% of the main users are male in the Christian community while the proportion is 71% in the Moslem community. Use of the kit and main problems faced by the beneficiaries At the time of the interview, 82% of the kits distributed were used while 18% were unused (the proportion is equivalent in both communities). The unused kits are mainly: Fishing individual (82% of the total), Fishing Group (57%), Farming (10%), and Cake Maker (5%). 85% of individual kits are used while only 68% of the group kits are used. Why were some kits not used The main reasons given by the families for the non-use of the kits are, by order of priority: • Unsuitable kit. It concerns essentially the fishing kits. The size of the nets distributed was too small according to the beneficiaries interviewed and allowed only “small” sessions of fishing to catch small fish. For the group kits, the main reason was the bad quality of the canoes distributed. In Buru where 14 canoes had been ordered, only 3 were of good quality (the adapted wood is called “Salawaku”, the non adapted one “Kayu Pouleh”) and consequently used by the community. • Bad season. This problem concerns only the farming kits. Due to the lack of rain observed between April and November 2002, some families were unable to plant and a few of them lost their crops. Majority of the farmers interviewed were waiting December-January to plant. • Not enough capital to start the activity. 26% of the families interviewed suffered from a lack of means to start the activity. Some kits distributed required buying raw materials and some of them cannot afford the needed items. What are the families planning to do with unused kit The families who did not use the kit have kept the items and declared that they will use them in the future. 3 beneficiaries gave the kits to one of their family members because they could not use it (old person mainly): fishing kit given to the son for example. 206 INCOME GENERATING ACTIVITIES: A KEY CONCEPT IN SUSTAINABLE FOOD SECURTIY
