It is important to prioritize the IGA in terms of income generating potential and population preference. This information will help narrow down the subjects to be further studied. Example 7: Study of IGA in Ugandan refugee camps In Gulu district, Uganda, ACF carried out a study in six refugee camps with the aim of monitoring the food security of the population and formulating recommendations for its improvement. One of the results of the analysis was the identification of the more common IGA developed by different types of households in terms of their level of vulnerability: INCOME GENERATING ACTIVITIES: A KEY CONCEPT IN SUSTAINABLE FOOD SECURTIY 23
➔ Table I: IGA BY PERCENTAGE OF ECONOMIC GROUP INVOLVED CharocelL Frewocci Crall Boda boda Lower Medide Upper Brewing 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% After verifying the importance and the type of IGA that different sectors of the population carry out as livelihood strategies, the analysis should be taken to a further level. It is necessary to understand how the crisis has affected these activities, or to identify the elements that impede their better functioning. In summary, it is necessary to use this information to understand the process that leads to food insecurity in order to define strategy lines for action upon which to develop the programmes. Using a systemic analysis 9 to study of the value chain 10 within the market will identify the most important elements making up the economic system and determine the different interactions. As a result, we will gain an overall perspective that will highlight the factors that could lead to a loss of incomes and could prevent the population to cover their basic needs. Fieldwork, continuous contacts with the population and interviews with significant local actors in the market are all tools that can add to our understanding of how the situation evolves. Participative techniques are useful instruments for this type of work. Benefiting from the fact that we are present in the zone, we can guarantee a good analysis of the situation through continual monitoring. Food security surveillance systems can offer interesting data on certain indicators and their variations; this information may be useful as a base on which to design and adapt the intervention. Other documents, from external sources such as government, other organisations, etc, can also be useful sources of information. 9 ACFIN always recommends the use of systemic approaches, as they help to situate the populations in their context and facilitate the study of cause – effect relationships between the different elements that build the context. 10 The value chain describes all the activities that are required from conception to sales, passing through the different phases of production (including all steps of physical transformation and the different services neccesary) so that a product or service arrives tthe final consumer. 24 INCOME GENERATING ACTIVITIES: A KEY CONCEPT IN SUSTAINABLE FOOD SECURTIY
