title: 2020- IFAD-UE/CCAFS CSA Monitoring : Doyogena Climate-Smart landscape (Ethiopia)

description: &lt;p align="justify"&gt;
This dataset contains the files produced in the implementation of the “Integrated Monitoring Framework for Climate-Smart Agriculture” in the Dogoyena Climate Smart Village (Ethiopia) in December 2020.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
This monitoring framework developed by CCAFS is meant to be deployed annually across the global network of Climate-Smart Villages to gather field-based evidence by tracking the progress on: 
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;adoption of CSA practices and technologies, as well as access to climate information services and 
&lt;li&gt;their related impacts at household level and farm level
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The CSA framework allows to address three key research questions:
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li value="1"&gt;Who within each CSV community adopts which CSA technologies and practices and which are their motivations, enabling factors? To which extent farmers access and use climate information services? &lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li value="2"&gt;Which are the gender-disaggregated perceived effects of CSA options on farmers’ livelihood, agricultural, food security and adaptive capacity, and on key gender dimensions (participation in decision making, participation in CSA implementation and dis-adoption, control and access over resources and labour). &lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li value="3"&gt;Which are the CSA performance, synergies and trade-offs found at farm level? &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
(Note that this 3d. question was not addressed in this specific Doyogena 2020 monitoring, as farm level data were not collected)
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;
The CSA framework proposes a small set of standard Core Indicators linked to the research questions, and Extended indicators covering aspects related to the enabling environment.
At household level (17 Core indicators):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;ul type="circle"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;7 Core Uptake indicators (they track CSA Implementation and adoption drivers; CSA dis-adoption and drivers; Access to climate information services and agro-advisories, Capacity to use them and constraining factors).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;10 Core Outcome indicators (they track farmers perceptions on the effects of CSA practices on their Livelihoods, Food Security and Adaptive Capacity and on Gender dimensions.
Those include namely: CSA effect on yield/production, on Income, on Improved Food Access and Food Diversity, on Vulnerability to weather related shocks and on Changes in agricultural activities induced by access to climate information.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;
Four are Gender related Outcome indicators (Decision-making on CSA implementation or dis-adoption, Participation in CSA implementation, CSA effect on labor, Decision making and control on CSA generated income). &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;ul type="circle"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;An additional set of complementary Extended indicators allows to determine and track changes in enabling conditions and farmers characteristics such as: Livelihood security, Financial enablers, Food security, Frecuency of climate events, Coping strategies, Risk Mitigation Actions, Access to financial services and Training, CSA Knowledge and Learning.&lt;/li&gt;
At farm level, 7 CORE indicators 
&lt;li&gt;7 Core indicators are used to determine the CSA performance of the farms as well as synergies and trade-offs among the three pillars (productivity, adaptation and mitigation, via farm model analysis).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;
This integrated framework is associated with a cost-effective data collection App (Geofarmer) that allowed capturing information in almost real time. The survey questionnaire is structured around different thematic modules. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
For the implementation in the context of the EU-IFAD/CCAFS project, some slight changes were made to the questionnaire in order to focus the data collection on tackling:
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;ul type="circle"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The impacts of Climate events&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Farmers’ access and use of CIS&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Farmer’s implementation of CSA practices, and&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;the perceived household level outcomes related to the implementation of CSA practices in the two targetted Ethiopian CSVs.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The adjusted survey questionnaire includes the following thematic modules:
&lt;br&gt;
-M1A Demographic (few additional questions not included in the “MASTER” CSA monitoring questionnaire were added coming from Rhomis)
&lt;br&gt;
-M1B Financial services (reduced set of original questions from the Financial Master Module M1D)
&lt;br&gt;
-M2, Climate events (no changes made)
&lt;br&gt;
-M3, Climate Information Services
&lt;br&gt;
-M4, CSA practices (NO CHANGES MADE = Standard M5 module)
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;** The Module Food Security from the Master questionnaire of the CSA framework was not included. Information on Food security captured using RhOMIS.&lt;/p&gt;
