On availability of food the reported deprivation level declines from 85‐50‐31% from 2009 to 2010 to
2012; shortage of clean water for home use declined from 49‐43‐42%; non‐availability of modern
medicines decreased from 80‐65‐37%; lack of access to traditional medicines (only measured in 2010
and 2012) declined from 9‐6%; shortage of cooking fuel declined from 55‐48‐44%; and lack of cash
income went down from 94‐91‐79%. These details show clearly that the load of deprivations suffered
has been getting lighter – even if IG remains very cynically assessed in many respects.
Stagnating and declining assessments of the work of IG
IG is often still highly positively assessed – such as in the sectors of making consumer goods available
and distributing food relief – despite getting substantially less positive assessments than in 2010. Also in
cases where the total positive assessments (Table 11) are below 50% the positive assessments often
remain higher than the negative evaluations.

of government performance … how do you rate the performance of the IG with regard to the following matters?
Or haven’t you heard enough to know …?’ All 2012 figures are in bold; the 2010 figures are not in bold.
