  4. Problem tree Increased vulnerability Political subsidy Farmers need financial aid in case of drought Information on drought subjective & biased Drought affects farmers income Vulnerable farming Biased perception on the importance of drought Wrong explanation of farmers poverty Inefficient and complex organiz- ational framework Higher drought frequency in last 30 years Poor agricultural framework Marginal farming technical, land, capital resources Drought used as a political instrument Low efficiency of drought Observ. (IAVH2) Drought bias Policy makers do not address socio economic issues Drought observatory in wrong hands DMN absent from framework

  5. Problem Objective Additional objectives Assumption Intervention logic Decrease vulnerability Increased vulnerability Nat drought insur. system ob. information Political subsidy Goal Results Results Farmers better cope with drought Farmers need financial aid in case of drought Better knowledge of drought Information on drought subjective & biased Purpose Drought affects farmers income Activities Statistical analysis of drought frequency Vulnerable farming Build and info and EW system, bullpub, anal Diversified production to decrease risk Set up new org. framework for drought with DMN Biased perception on the importance of drought Wrong explanation of farmers poverty Inefficient and complex organiz- ational framework Activities Results Activities Higher drought frequency in last 30 years Extension, demo training (crops, zero till., micro-credit) Poor agricultural framework Marginal farming technical, land, capital resources Strengthen cooperatives, agric. chambers Activities Activities Drought used as a political instrument Results Low efficiency of drought Observ. (IAVH2) Insurance and info systems accepted as part of policy and by donors Activities Drought bias Reform acceptance by key players Policy makers do not address socio economic issues Drought observatory in wrong hands DMN absent from framework

  6. Option 1

  7. Option 2: Contingency plan in case my assumptions are not verified

  8. Objective verifiable indicators (OVI) and Benchamarking indicates (BMI) for Option 2 and evolution in time OVI target BMI dynamic

  9. Conclusions • Include the protocol for BMI for testing the Guidelines
