Poverty alleviation in the wake of typhoon Yolanda: Survey data 2015-2017

The Poverty Alleviation in the Wake of Typhoon Yolanda Surveys are household surveys of 800 over three years (800 x 3) individuals in selected communities, in Tacloban, Tanauan and Palo in the province of Leyte, the Philippines. The survey covers experiences from pre- to post-Yolanda. Disaster response, resilience and community support are its main focus. Respondents were asked questions on their experiences, attitudes and perceptions on assistance, relief and relocation. Questions about their access to food, health services and education, livelihood, and community support were also included. The respondents’ background characteristics and the household roster were also gathered by survey.<p>This project monitors the effectiveness of the Typhoon Yolanda relief efforts in the Philippines in relation to good governance and building sustainable routes out of poverty. This project focuses on urban risk, vulnerability and resilience in the aftermath of Yolanda. The key themes of the project are risk, vulnerability, resilience and shocks in relation to environmental disaster and pathways in and out of poverty. The project aims to identify the extent to which resource allocation can go beyond disaster 'relief' and build sustainable livelihoods beyond the immediate aftermath of the disaster. It will assess the extent to which disaster relief funding is related to need and what factors dictate the efficient allocation of funds over the immediate and medium term. It will assess whether communities have actually been built back better and if not then why not. The project will also engage with the theoretical framework of human security e.g. in relation to food, health, environmental, personal, and community security but also individual and community resilience and agency.</p>

台风约兰达（Typhoon Yolanda）灾后扶贫调查为家庭层面调研，在菲律宾莱特省塔克洛班、塔瑙安与帕洛的选定社区中，针对三年间累计2400名（800×3）个体展开。调研覆盖台风约兰达灾前至灾后的全部相关经历，核心聚焦灾害应对、韧性建设与社区支持。受访对象需回答关于援助、救灾与安置的经历、态度及认知类问题，同时涵盖其获取食品、医疗服务、教育资源、生计状况以及社区支持情况的相关内容。调研同时收集了受访对象的背景特征信息与家庭名册资料。
本项目旨在评估菲律宾台风约兰达救灾工作在善治与构建可持续减贫路径方面的实施成效，聚焦台风约兰达灾后的城市风险、脆弱性与韧性建设。项目核心主题包括与环境灾害相关的风险、脆弱性、韧性与冲击，以及贫困的进出路径。本项目旨在探明资源配置如何超越单纯的灾害‘救灾’范畴，在灾后应急阶段之外构建可持续生计；将评估救灾资金与实际需求的匹配程度，以及哪些因素决定了应急与中期阶段的资金高效配置；同时将评估社区是否真正实现了‘灾后更好重建’，若未达成则分析其原因。此外，项目还将依托人类安全（human security）理论框架，探讨其与食品、卫生、环境、人身及社区安全的关联，同时关注个体与社区的韧性及能动性。
