The objective of the study is to establish the net contribution of the project to the sustainable livelihoods of the targeted families “before” and “after” the project and “between” the project and control areas Since the livelihood outcomes would depend on a number of factors, some within the control of the project and outside, an effective evaluation would have to integrate analysis of specific project interventions undertaken in the surveyed areas so as to be able to not only estimate the ‘net effect’ after taking into account the non-project interventions / factors but, to the extent possible, also assess impact and effectiveness of specific interventions. Hence, the baseline survey has to create adequate scope so as to enable the project to determining the net project impact and the factors responsible for such impact.
