| Sumari: | The Research and Evaluation Division (RED) of BRAC recently carried out a quick survey on
the present status of the sample population of IAS-I in preparation for the IAS-ll to be
conducted during 1996-97. It was contemplated that the sample population of the first study
could form a panel for subsequent studies for measuring effective impact of RDP one time by
following up the achievements of the respondents. However, this could not be made feasible if
there were a significant dropout of members and a similar change in the status of the
comparison group through their enrolment in GO/NGO poverty alleviation program.
The specific objectives of the study were thus to : (1) determine the present status of both
BRAC members and comparison households in terms of their BRAC membership and non-
involvement in development programs respectively; (2) ascertain present residential status, (3)
find out reasons for dropout of BRAC membership and (4) to identify those sample households
which could be considered for preparing a panel of households for the IAS-11.
The present survey was carried out on all 2250 lAS-I sampled households of which 1500 are
BRAC members and other 750 are non-BRAC members using a structured questionnaire.
Questionnaire was derived mainly to elicit data on dropouts, migration and death of BRAC
members since lAS-I survey period, an enrolment of comparison household members in
GO/NGO programs and on their migration and death. Data on present status of the sample
VOs were also obtained.
