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.
Data description (abstract)
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.
