Aware of increasing rates of poverty and growing demands on its services, The Nasio Trust which operates in western Kenya, commissioned EfD to conduct an in depth, quantitative household economy survey and training for its staff. The IHM study described in this report throws a clear light on the levels of poverty in Mumias West sub county, and the reasons for this. EfD trained a group of 10 local staff to collect the data analysed in this report, demonstrating the cost effectiveness of local training and the value of decentralising information gathering skills.
