  1. Local and Regional Procurement2. Global Framework Overview LRP Market Monitoring Training

  2. Motivation for Framework •  Develop a common analytical framework, with universal indicators, to enable comparisons across USDA LRP pilot projects (CRS and other NGOs; different modalities) • Develop analytical framework to enable comparisons with other forms of food aid assistance (e.g. transoceanic food aid) • Create common database to manage data across projects • Provide an in-depth and robust evaluation of USDA pilot projects to advocate for continued (and increased) resources for LRP, if appropriate • Influence US policy on food aid and local procurement

  3. NGO LRP Learning Alliance • CRS, World Vision, ACDI/VOCA, Mercy Corps and Land O’ Lakes   • Technical lead by Cornell University (USA) to develop the common analytical framework for data collection and management and to lead the policy analysis component of the process • Contract with Esoko (Ghana) to develop common database for LRP Learning Alliance members • Regional training in Burkina Faso for Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, 25-29th October (CRS) • Regional training in Istanbul, 8-10 November (Mercy Corps, ACDI/VOCA) • Regional training in Uganda, 15-18 November (World Vision, ACDI/VOCA) • Global Workshop in Haiti on development impact of LRP in July 2011 (ACDI/VOCA) - tbc

  4. Evaluation Topics • Historic supply, demand and price movements • Do no harm • Reasonable market rate • Timeliness • Product quality and safety • Cost • Recipient food security status • Government interference • Producer price stimulus • Supplier behavioral change • Volumes • Sustainability • Food production shocks Topics in bold are required by USDA; additional topics are added for in-depth analysis in certain countries

  5. Indicators • All USDA required indicators are covered in the Framework • Additional indicators are added for in-depth analysis in select projects • Not all indicators are appropriate for each modality; the Framework specifies which indicators need to be collected for each modality • Indicators are collected at different frequencies: • Monthly, biweekly, or weekly (prices) • Pre-procurement • Post-procurement • Post-distribution • As needed

  6. Indicators –Price Monitoring • Historic prices (secondary data) • Retail prices (secondary and primary data) • Global markets (CU) • National markets • Regional markets • Source markets • Recipient markets • Counterfactual markets • Wholesale prices (secondary and primary data) • Global markets (CU) • National markets • Regional markets • Source markets • Recipient markets • Counterfactual markets

  7. Market Types for analysis

  8. Indicators – One-off, Pre-procurement • Approximate volumes traded in source markets (can be taken from food balance sheets for source regions) • Planned volumes (as reported in proposal) • Planned costs (as reported in proposal)

  9. Indicators – Post-procurement • Procurement price • Number of competitive bids • Actual volumes procured • Volume of lots rejected • Dollar value of procurement from smallholders • Metric tonnage of procurement from smallholders • Certification of product quality and safety • Nutritional standards • Nutrient specific composition tables (with CU)

  10. Indicators – Post-distribution • Final actual costs (all costs related to procurement, commodities, transport, storage, treatment) • Actual ground transport costs • Change in food security of targeted population • Actual number of vouchers distributed • Voucher use • Number of beneficiaries targeted • Number of beneficiaries reached

  11. Indicators – Commodity tracking • Time from agreement with donor to tender • Time from tender to procurement • Time from procurement to possession by NGO in-country • Time from possession of commodities to beneficiary distribution • Time from agreement with donor to possession (vouchers) • Time from possession to beneficiary distribution (vouchers)

  12. Indicators – Transoceanic food aid • Final actual costs (all costs related to procurement, commodities, transport, storage, treatment) • Time from donor to call forward • Time from call forward to possession by grantee • Time from possession to beneficiary distribution

  13. Indicators – Collected as needed • Government interference in markets (may include): • Import restrictions • Price ceilings on food items • Grain reserves • Taxes along the market chain • Export bans • Export ban in neighboring country • Import ban in neighboring country • Support prices for producers • Subsidies to input imports

  14. Indicators – In-depth analysis (CU) • Recipient acceptance/quality perception • Product quality and safety standards • Trader experience: • Access to/ need for commercial finance • Capital equipment investments • Use of modern inputs • Employment effects • Trader satisfaction/ ease of participation
