Practitioners’ Guide to the Household Economy Approach

This guide is aimed at those carrying out household economy approach (HEA) assessments, and is intended to serve as both a refresher guide for experienced practitioners and a set of reference reading materials to accompany formal trainings for new practitioners.

The Practitioners’ Guide is presented as a series of chapters; the expectation is not that this guide will be read cover to cover, but rather that individual chapters will be used as ‘modules’, each self contained and specific to a particular aspect of HEA. This is not meant to be used as a ‘do-it-yourself’ guide for those with no exposure to HEA. Nevertheless, each subject is presented in clear, logical steps that should – in conjunction with formal training – enable fairly quick uptake for relative new-comers to HEA.
