Firstly it revealed large variations in the level of deprivation, and poverty, from slum to slum. Secondly, it identified more precisely the exact issues being experienced in each slum. This allowed CR to focus efforts, and allocate resources to address specific problems. For example, the survey identified there was a significant lack of knowledge of family planning, hygiene and disease knowledge in many of the slums. As a result, CR created a small team called Outreach to go out into the communities to provide health education \u2013 allowing people to better care for themselves and identify health concerns at an early stage.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d21b16 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0d21b16\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"825\" height=\"550\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dmg.org.in\/calcuttarescue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Hastings-DSC07650-2-1024x683-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4538 lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dmg.org.in\/calcuttarescue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Hastings-DSC07650-2-1024x683-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dmg.org.in\/calcuttarescue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Hastings-DSC07650-2-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dmg.org.in\/calcuttarescue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Hastings-DSC07650-2-1024x683-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 825px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 825\/550;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"825\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/dmg.org.in\/calcuttarescue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Hastings-DSC07650-2-1024x683-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4538\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dmg.org.in\/calcuttarescue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Hastings-DSC07650-2-1024x683-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dmg.org.in\/calcuttarescue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Hastings-DSC07650-2-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dmg.org.in\/calcuttarescue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Hastings-DSC07650-2-1024x683-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/noscript>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-405bfc3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"405bfc3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Thirdly, the MPI survey gave CR an \u201cImpact Measurement\u201d tool. It is notoriously difficult to measure impact in our sector, but major donors are increasingly demanding evidence of a social return on their investment. Periodic MPI surveys in the slum communities will provide hard evidence of both deprivation levels and our impact. CR is now able to incorporate impact targets into many of its donor proposals using the MPI data, e.g. \u201cCR will reduce the deprivations in the health indicators by 50% in 5 years in these 6 slums\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the survey acts as a powerful communication tool. Few organisations, particularly ones as small as CR, gather such detailed information about the communities where they work and we have been sharing the data with stakeholders, such as government, other NGOs, businesses and academic institutions \u2013 with the aim of collaborating with like-minded partners \u2013 to achieve common objectives.<\/p>\n<p>An example of this, which I am delighted to announce, is that we are collaborating with the University of Leeds for this second MPI survey. Dr. Suman Seth, an expert in this field, is working with the CRRC to shape how we run the survey.<\/p>\n<p>The main objectives this time round remain the same. However, there is some extra analytical work \u2013 comparing the results of this survey and the one in 2019 and we want to compare our findings with the Indian national MPI. This will allow us to benchmark the conditions in Kolkata\u2019s slum communities against national and regional data.<\/p>\n<p>The CRRC has also been working closely with CR\u2019s medical team to collect more specific health-related information this time \u2013 data that will shape our medical interventions going forward.<\/p>\n<p>Implementing a survey of this magnitude is a massive task. It requires great team coordination cross-cutting many departments and involving a lot of people, including our foreign volunteers, Indian interns and CR staff.<\/p>\n<p>It is a big challenge but we are looking forward to it, and to sharing the results with you in around 6 months\u2019 time!<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stand By for Poverty Survey #2 December 29, 2023 Calcutta Rescue\u2019s chief executive, Jaydeep Chakraborty, explains: This month sees the start of our second multi-dimensional poverty (MPI) study \u2013 a huge, and hugely important, project for Calcutta Rescue.
