INTRODUCTION
District Dadu takes its name from Dadu City and
came on Map as District during April, 1931.
During December,
District Health Office, Dadu, was established in

HH Analysis Group (HAG) Definitions

Identify groups of relatively homogenous households with regard to their food security situation (consider

contributing factors and likely outcomes). These HH Analysis Groups will be analyzed independently for
their respective Phase Classifications.
The number of groups will depend upon analytical needs, data availability and desired level of precision

STEP 4: HH Analysis Group (HAG) Classification Conclusions--Classify each HH Analysis Group and estimate number and percentage of
people in applicable Phases based on convergence of evidence (from STEP 3). If a single HH Analysis Group is determined to have 2 or more distinct Phases of
Household Groups, then indicate partial percentages and numbers).

Food Availability

Food Access

Food Utilization

Guiding Question: Is sufficient food

actually or potentially physically
present?

Guiding Question: Are households

able to sufficiently access food?

Guiding Question: Are households making

effective use of food which they have access to?

(Consider and aspects of physical, financial,

and social access, and note in the
justification as relevant).

(Consider aspects of preferences, preparation, storage,

and water; and note in the justification as relevant).

Section D: Evidence Documentation and Analysis

STEP 3: Key Evidence and Conclusions for Contributing Factors and Outcomes
Document key evidence statement. For each key evidence statement: (i) Indicate Document Code (DC) to link to the
Evidence Repository Template; and (ii) Specify reliability score for each evidence statement: 1=somewhat reliable, 2=
reliable, 3=very reliable.
For example: Market prices increased 200% as compared to same time last year (DC=1, R=2)
Write summary element conclusion statements and note difference between and within HAGs and gender differences as
relevant.
For outcome elements, when possible determine the indicative Phase for Area or HAGs.

Impact of the heavy rains fall in
April 2015 caused around 15%
damaged standing wheat crop.
Indus River

Drought in Kacho area
Lack of rain fall
(DC8 R1 Phase III)
CONCLUSION:
Based on the above indicators the
district falls under phase 2 because
standing crop was damaged due to
natural disaster.

PROJECTED

Crop Production:
- Wheat (2015) = 223.2(000 MT)
- Rice (2014)
= 143.1 (000 MT)
(D3 R3 Phase III)

Food
Availability

Livestock Production:
- Animal meat (000 MT ) = 6,411
- Fish (000 MT)
= 6,211
- Poultry (000 MT)
= 1969
(DC4 R3 Phase III)
CONCLUSION:
There seems to be a decrease in
wheat, and Rice production (-14.9%)
and (-8.1%) In livestock, decrease of
4.3%, 20.2% and 21.3% has been
noted in meat, fish and poultry,
respectively (Phase 2).

Food Access

Cash Crops:
Cotton: 6,9972 M Tons
Sugarcane: 2,99544 M Tons
(DC3 R3 Phase I)
Price of Staple food:
Wheat: Rs 34/kg
Rice: Rs 20/kg
(DC3 R3 Phase I)
Market Access feasible:
Daily wages labor Rs. 384/day
Skilled labor Rs. 700/day
Poor purchasing power of people of
Dadu
20% population employed in provincial
and Federal Govt
(DC10 R1 Phase I)
CONCLUSION:
The per capita income in Dadu is
between Rs. 9,000/- and Rs. 16,000/-per

month, which, according to the food

security perspective, is considered very
low
One HH of any un-skilled labour earns
PKR 384 per day in urban area while in
rural area unskilled labour earn under
PKR 200 per day. One third of the income
of average HH goes to purchase merely
main staple food items.

Drinking Water

86% of HH have access to improved

source of drinking water
8% of HHs in Dadu are have access to
tap water,
57% to hand pumps,
21% to motor pumps and
7% to dug wells.

Water

(DC5 R3 Phase II)

Access to toilet

90% of HH have access to toilets

36% HH use flush toilets
54% use non flush toilets
(DC5 R3 Phase I)
Overall literacy rate is 59%
Female literacy rate 49%
(DC6 R1 Phase I)
CONCLUSION:
The sanitation conditions are relatively
poor in district Dadu & Low female
literacy rate Unsafe drinking water food
utilization status is little bit un-stable

Wheat Stores:

Stability

Sufficient quantity of wheat stored

both at HH of rural area,
government stores, &local market
but purchasing power of employees
and labour is poor.
(DC8 R2 Phase II)
CONCLUSION:

Majority of the population being

under the category of less earners
(small Farmer daily wage labourer
etc.) they have limited food storage.

Mean Food Consumption of 39.9 placing

the division of Hyderabad on the
borderline. With reference to food
consumption, the condition of Dadu is
worse than Hyderabad. Hence, the
people of Dadu are highly food
insecure, this indicator shows that
population of district dadu is highly
food insecure and requires immediate
action.

CONCLUSION:
Reversible coping strategies, During
hard situation people seek
assistance/loans from various Govt,
NGOs & INGOs.
Self-management enables people to
deal with the situation.
Remittances from foreign countries is
very important source for coping
strategy.
However, this source may
decrease due to political un instability.
Hence, people are not ready to deal
with any major/urgent disaster.
