Annex 2: Results Framework and Monitoring : (LWH) Project Project Development Objective PDO Indicators Use of Outcome Monitoring The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to increase the productivity and commercialization of hillside agriculture in target areas Increased Productivity in irrigated command area ($/ha) These indicators will show if farmers have adopted improved technologies that result in increased productivity; and also show if productivity gains improve farmer incomes Increased Productivity in hillsides ($/ha) Increased share in commercialized products in project areas (%) Indicator will show if project is successful in moving from subsistence farming to a more commercialized farming Intermediate Outcome for each Component Outcome Indicators for Components Use of Outcome Monitoring Component A Capacity and Institutional Strengthening for Hillside Intensification and Commercialization Improved hillside land husbandry technologies and techniques Strengthened value chains for agricultural products Expanded access to rural finance Increased revenues made by cooperatives in project areas To assess the market/business orientation of farmers’ organizations Cost recovery ratio for operation and maintenance of WUA in project areas To assess the sustainability of irrigation infrastructure Proportion of farmers in project affected areas using improved farm methods (disaggregated by gender) To assess if extension strategy is successful Percentage of total adult population in the project affected areas which use the services of formal financial institutions (disaggregated by gender) To assess if access to financial services is being increased # of project participating financial institutions (PFIs) using new products To assess if the needed financial products to increase access to finance are used Component B Infrastructure for Hillside Intensification Improved infrastructure for hillside agriculture Proportion of land protected against soil erosion in project areas (ongoing assessment each year) To assess the improved infrastructure developed by the project Area developed for Irrigation in project (ha) To assess the improved infrastructure developed by the project Reduced annual soil loss in project (MT/ha) To assess the environmental benefits and sustainability of Project SLM activities
