Field handbook • Scientific and Technical Department • First of all the global context of intervention has to be well known and identified. An intervention in a context of high economic exchanges and/or poor economic activities will lead to differences in terms of kit distribution and expectations regarding the possibility to generate incomes for the beneficiaries. • Some communities, very vulnerable, are totally out of the market system and do not have any preoccupation of selling or even earning money. The distribution of kits can be very useful for them anyway in order to improve their food production and therefore their food security but unrealistic in order to obtain regular and significant incomes. Probably another terminology should be more appropriate: Income Generating Programme or Households Food Security Improvement Programmes • Then and especially in case of collective IGA, the community has to be studied in depth in order to understand where we can have the best input and what the objectives to be achieved by this community can be. In a post conflict context as observed in 2003 in some places situated in the Maluku, such kind of programme of assistance is relevant and useful for the population. The suitability of the programme cannot be denied. But it seems fundamental to check the motivation and reasons of the population for the assistance requested as well as to fix reasonable objectives to be achieved for the beneficiary (micro-grants programmes is not an option for the targeted population). The population has to be motivated, not occupied by the reconstruction process and the necessity to harvest food from the gardens. The project has to fit with the economic environment that will determine the type of assistance and the possibility to generate real incomes. This point is very important as this humanitarian assistance takes place in developing and disrupted contexts. INCOME GENERATING ACTIVITIES: A KEY CONCEPT IN SUSTAINABLE FOOD SECURTIY 211
