Comparative Analysis of Household Vulnerability Index Targeting in Development Work

This postgraduate research project evaluates stakeholder participation and targeting effectiveness in development work using the Household Vulnerability Index (HVI). It compares HVI with Proxy Indicator approaches, and assesses the accuracy of HVI against community-based methods. The study aims to improve targeting and programming efficiency in reaching vulnerable households.

  1. HOUSEHOLD VULNERABILITY INDEX: Postgraduate Research with the University of Venda J. Francis Centre for Rural Development University of Venda

  2. Study 1: Assessment of level of stakeholder participation in the application of HVI as a targeting and programming approach in development work • Justification: Fears that application of HVI would compromise participation and ownership thereby disempowering stakeholders especially grassroots communities • Key Questions • Does application of the HVI as a targeting and programming approach in development work reduce the level of stakeholder participation? • Does low level of stakeholder participation in the HVI process result in ineffective and inefficient targeting and programming?

  3. Study 2: Comparative analysis of Household Vulnerability Index (HVI) and Proxy Indicator approaches to targeting and programming for development work • Justification • Evidence from programme evaluations shows that targeting remains a concern in development initiatives • Lack of reliable household level data for informed decision making • Current targeting methods (Proxy Indicator approaches) are weak: high inclusion & exclusion errors • Key Question • The HVI approach reduces errors in targeting and programming better than the proxy indicator approach.

  4. Study 3: Comparative Analysis of Determinants and Accuracy of HVI and Community-based Approaches in Targetting & Programming of Development Work • Justification • Limited resources and need for reaching the most vulnerable • Not achieving the desired impact [who are the most vulnerable (empirical evidence)? High inclusion & exclusion errors] • Many approaches used in targeting and programming - but what would be the best approach & applicable under what circumstances?) • Key Questions • What determines the choice of targeting and programming approaches? • What are the comparative advantages of the HVI over community-based approaches? [Accuracy, reliability, validity]

  5. What products within the next 3 years? • Masters & PhD degree conceptual frameworks & research proposals • Working papers • Masters and PhD theses – contribution to human resource development • Conference/workshop papers • Publications in refereed journals
