Dear All, I have an important query to address. I am a researcher studying the development of monitoring and evaluation methodologies to assess the impact of HIV/AIDS on food security and agriculture. I will need to analyse information available from national Demographic and Health Surveys and similar sources, with the aim to evaluate the potential of these data to measure the effects of HIV/AIDS on food security. The specific objectives will be to (a) assess limitations and strengths of the DHS and similar datasets, and (b) propose indicators applicable for monitoring purposes. The scope is mainly to write a report with the following points: strengths and limitations of available data (background information, analysis of relevant datasets, underlying assumptions, etc.); to identify a methodological framework; to select relevant variables; to provide an example of applying DHS and other data to measure the effects of AIDS on food security.
I know that the scope is huge, but if you have any suggestion about useful and relevant literature (such as DHS and other reports ), I should start with, it would be appreciated. It would be good if you could also suggest other important sources that are worth examining in the field. Thanking you in advance, Alessandra . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
