The World Bank, in its guidelines on project evaluation, categorizes the project sequence as comprised of inputs, outputs, effects , and impacts . Inputs would include infrastructure and exten-sion services, as well as obvious inputs as such as improved seeds, fertilizers and chemicals. Outputs would be the physical changes in productivity that result from the employment of these inputs. Effects are the agronomic benefits that derived from these changes.
Impacts are the changes in living standards and the quality of life of beneficiaries.
We need to include social impacts such as improvements in resource management that enhance their sustainability. The experience of beneficiaries with respect to project services is one measure of project impacts. Proportion of the target population that has access to particular project services or inputs. Proportion of the target population that received the project's message, service or input. Proportion of the target population that received the message service or input that understood its purpose.
