Baseline Survey Volume 1: Baseline Survey Design and Methodologies

I. Background of the baseline survey


The Regional Fisheries Livelihoods Programme (RFLP) is an FAO trust-fund project funded
by the Kingdom of Spain, started in September 2009. It covers six countries of Cambodia,
Indonesia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Timor-Leste, and Viet Nam and is planned for four
years. The aim of the RFLP is to strengthen capacity among participating small-scale fishing
communities and their supporting institutions towards improved livelihoods and sustainable
fisheries resources management. At the national level, the RFLP is expected to produce five
outputs including:

(1) Co-management mechanisms for sustainable utilization of fishery resources;


(2) Improved safety and reduced vulnerability for fisher communities;
(3) Improved quality of fishery products and market chains;
(4) Strengthened and diversified income opportunities for fisher families; and
(5) Facilitated access to microfinance services for fishers, processors and vendors.

Under the above framework, the baseline survey was planned to fulfill RLFP Activity 4.1.1
“Survey of income and gender situation in selected target communes” and Activity 4.1.2
“Identification of needs and priorities” under sub-output 4.1 of the 2010 work plan approved
by National Coordination Committee of the RFLP. The overall objectives of the baseline
survey were to obtain better understanding of socio-economic situation of the target
communes and to collect the baseline data for each of the five RFLP outputs, which will
provide the basis for progress monitoring and evaluation. Under these overall objectives, the
specific objectives of the survey were:

1. To develop the sub-indicators for the baseline survey, fully reflecting the local
conditions in target provinces in Viet Nam, for 5 RFLP outputs
2. To develop complete survey methodologies including field-tested questionnaires for
the defined sub-indicators
3. To collect data for the defined sub-indicators under RFLP outputs 1-5 for Viet Nam
4. To perform an in-depth analysis of data to set the baseline under each output
5. To organize a validation workshop in each province

The Centre for Community Research and Development (CCRD) is contracted under the
LOA-FAVIE 56/2010 to conduct the above baseline survey in sixteen RFLP target
communes and three control communes in three provinces (Quang Tri, Thua Thien Hue, and
Quang Nam) in Viet Nam.

II. Survey design and methodology

2.1 Overall baseline survey design and methodology


The survey was designed to cover five outputs of RFLP. Under each output, a list of data to
be collected was developed with clear indication of data sources and data collection
methodologies (see Annex 1). Based on the data list, a questionnaire for household survey
and checklists for each group in key informant interview and group discussion were
developed. The checklists indicated the data to be collected or issued to be discussed as well

5
Baseline Survey Volume 1: Baseline Survey Design and Methodologies

as leading questions (key questions to be asked) including list of secondary data to be


collected.

To gather information and data for five outputs, different data collection methods were used
including a) community consultation through group discussion and household interview, b)
household survey using questionnaire, c) key informant interview using checklists, and d)
collection of secondary data. The survey applied methodologies including group discussion,
structured interview, semi-structured interview, and some PRA tools such as Venn Diagram,
Gender Analysis Matrix, Time Trends. The same survey process and methodologies were
used for all surveyed communities.

2.2 Survey sites


The target areas for this baseline survey were as follows: Those communes were official
target communes of the RFLP project (Table 1).

Table 1: A list of the RFLP target communes


Thua Thien Hue Quang Nam Quang Tri
Phu Thuan - Phu Vang Duy Hai - Duy Xuyen Hai An - Hai Lang
Vinh Thanh - Phu Vang Duy Nghia - Duy Xuyen Hai Khe - Hai Lang
Loc Tri - Phu Loc Binh Hai - Thang Binh Trieu Van - Trieu Phong
Phu Loc Town - Phu Loc Binh Minh - Thang Binh Trieu Lang - Trieu Phong
Phong Hai - Phong Dien Binh Nam - Thang Binh Vinh Thai - Vinh Linh
Tam Tien - Nui Thanh

The following three additional communes were also surveyed as control communes:

1. Phu Hai commune - Phu Vang district – Thua Thien Hue Province
2. Vinh Thach Commune - Vinh Linh district – Quang Tri Province
3. Tam Hoa commune - Nui Thanh district - Quang Nam Province

The control communes were selected from the lists of coastal communes in three provinces
The selection of the control communes was carried out in consultation with SDECAFIREPin
three provinces and based on the following criteria:

 The commune must have at least 30 fishing households


 The social and economic features of the control communes are most similar to that of
RFLP target communes. For this, the control communes is located near to RFLP target
communes is preferred.
 There are at least two different fishing activities (offshore fishing inshore fishing, lagoon
fishing, etc) in each of the control commune.
 Commune having fish processing households is preferred

After control communes were selected, consultations with the People’s Communes of the
control communes were done to make sure that these communes satisfy about criteria. The
list of control communes was then submitted in RFLP Coordination Team in Hue for
approval.

Total 19 601 (197) 96 99 (32) 41 (25)
Note: the figures in brackets show the numbers of female respondents.
2.3.2 Household survey (questionnaire survey)

Household survey was carried out in sixteen target communes and three control communes
using a questionnaire (Annex 2). The questionnaire was structured into six sections including
a general section and five sections for each of five outputs as summarized in Table 3.

Table 3: Number of questions of each section in the questionnaire


Section Module Number of questions
0 General information 9
1 Co-management 14
2 Safety at sea 11
3 Post harvest and marketing 9
4 Livelihood diversification and enhancement 14
5 Microfinance 12

In each commune, 30-35 fishing households were surveyed including off-shore, inshore, on-
shore, and lagoon fishing households. The survey covered poor and non-poor as well as
males and females. The survey households were selected randomly from the list of fishing
households provided by Commune People’s Committees and survey team.

2.3.3 Group discussion

In each commune, four group discussion sessions with 6-8 people each were organized,
including two sessions with males and two sessions with females. The groups were facilitated
to discuss the issues related to five outputs. The checklist for group discussion is attached as
Annex 3.

2.3.4 Key informant interview

The key informants from the following institutions were interviewed:

Province level:

Baseline Survey Volume 1: Baseline Survey Design and Methodologies

 Sub-Department of Capture Fisheries and Resources Protection at DARD


(SDECAFIREP)
 Sub-Department of Rural Development and Agro-Forestry-Fisheries Quality Assurance
at DARD (SRDAFIQA)
 Provincial Committee for Flood and Storm Control and Search and Rescue
 Provincial Fisheries Association

District level:
 Microfinance providers
 District DARD
 District Station for Agriculture - Forestry - Fisheries Extension
 District Chamber of Commerce and Industry

Commune level:
 Commune People’s Committee (staff in charge of economic development and/or
fisheries)
 Local Fisheries Associations (if available)
 Microfinance providers (Woman Union, Farmer Union, and other credit groups).

In addition to the above, fish processors and boat builders were interviewed. In each
commune where there were fish processors, 2-4 fish processors were interviewed
individually. In order to double-check and/or supplement data, household/individual
interviews were also conducted with fishers, boat builders, and fish vendors.

The checklists for key informant interviews are attached as Annex 4.

2.4 Data registration, processing, and analysis


The survey teams recorded data / information in the data collection sheets (questionnaire and
hand written data / information sheets) for double checking and/or clarification. The collected
data / information were then entered into a database and organized by category and informant
group under each output for respective commune. They were then summarized at the
province level by indicator and informant group.

Quantitative data were processed, analyzed and organized in tables by using SPSS 12.0 and
Microsoft Excel. Descriptive statistical values including frequency counts, percentage, min
value, max value, and average was calculated in order to explain distribution and general
characteristics of each commune in five output areas. Qualitative information was used to
provide in-depth description of and analysis for each output and to compliments the
quantitative data.

2.5 Survey team and organization


The survey was conducted by a team composed of three sub-groups implementing the survey
in each of three target provinces. The team leader designed the overall survey and
coordinated the three sub-groups, which had 4-6 people including group leaders, facilitators,
and enumerators. The fieldwork was carried out during November and December 2010.
