LIVES Monitoring and documentation
Documentation and monitoring immediate outcome and outputs • Approaches and value chain results/lessons learned documented and synthesized • Research priorities on approaches and value chain interventions identified • Diagnostic research results/lessons on selected commodity value chains and approaches completed • Action research results/lessons learned on selected commodity value chain completed • Impact and outcome research results/lessons learned on project intervention completed
Research framework • An overall research framework will be developed in a workshop in partnership with ILRI Scientists, IWMI scientists, EIAR, RARIs, others • The research framework like ‘a book concept’ • Graduate students in collaboration with universities: >100 theses expected • Quality control
ResearchLIVES Rapid assessment of value chains and public support services Learning Learning Diagnosis Action Impact RESEARCH/STUDIES
Diagnostic research- Examples • Performance of input and output markets using SCP • Determinants of market participation • Performance of marketing cooperatives • Livestock productivity analysis • Water use efficiency
Action research – Examples • Effectiveness of mass insemination using estrus synchronization • Performance of marketing groups organized by LIVES and partners • Performance of farmer-to-farmer seedling supply • Effectiveness of urea treated straw promoted by LIVES and partners
Impact research – Examples • Impact of interventions on farm household income • DDE • Regression discontinuity • IV methods • Impact of interventions on business volume of other value chain actors • Impact of value chain development on the environment
Cross cutting issues • Gender • Environment • Food safety
Research outlets • Working paper series • Student theses • ILRI discussion papers • Journal articles • A book?
Results-based Project Management - The Impact Pathway Resources (Staff time, finance, equipment/materials, transportation etc) Activities (work done, tasks Performed) Outputs (completion of activities and production of first level results) Immediate Outcomes (Changes attributable to the outputs) Intermediate outcome Use f the immediate outcomes Ultimate outcome/Impact (economic, social and environ- mental changes)
Project monitoring and evaluation • Results-based Monitoring and Evaluation (RBM&E) • Logic model (LM) (Performance chain (PC)) • Performance measurement framework (PMF)
Project RBM&E • Baseline: Beginning of project • Ultimate outcome: End of project • Intermediate outcomes: Year 3 and year 5 • Immediate outcomes: Year 2 and annually thereafter • Outputs: Year 1 and annually thereafter • Activities: Semiannually
