Centre on Integrated Rural Development for Asia and the Pacific RESULTS-BASED M & E USE AND SIGNIFICANCE IN AGRARIAN REFORM & RURAL DEVELOPMENT
Background: AGRARIAN REFORM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM Adopted in 1993 by DAR as its key development strategy in the provision of comprehensive development interventions on land tenure improvement (LTI) & program beneficiaries development (PBD).
CONSIDERATIONS FOR UP- SCALING THE RB-ME IN CIRDAP MEMBER-COUNTRIES • Support to Poverty Alleviation Thrust of Countries • Locate Social Reform Character in programs • Multi-Agency Responsibility for RD Implementation • Scope of the poverty reduction programs • Available and Prospective Resource Allocations • Institutional Capability of ministries and Other link agencies
Locus & Focus: Rural Communities in different countries Replicating a Model: WHAT IS AN ARC? An Agrarian Reform Community (ARC) is a barangay or cluster of barangays where there is a critical mass of farmers and farmworkers awaiting the full implementation of agrarian reform.
3 MODALITIES in rural communities Satellite Areas Inaccessible, low soil fertility, low production Inadequate facilities, limited access to government services & farmers producing more for subsistence than for commerce Semi-Prime Areas To provide production support system to the prime agricultural areas To serve as mid-processing or market centers for the relatively inaccessible areas Prime Agricultural Areas High Technology High Productivity Integrated agribusiness system approach
ARCs Level of Development Assessment Basis for planning of interventions, project development & budgeting Informed decision-making Organizational capacity development & learning Establishes substantive accountability and organizational positioning
Participatory/inclusive development Balance between quantitative and qualitative data Wholistic/Integrated Poverty & culture sensitive tool Technology based PRINCIPLES
RD looks at different dimensions using 6 KRAs & 58 Indicators 7 indicators Land Tenure Improvement 5 indicators Organizational Maturity Gender & Development 27 indicators Sustainable Rural Development Index Basic Social Services Economic & Physical Infra Support Services Farm Productivity & Income 8 indicators 6 indicators 5 indicators
KEY RESULT AREAS OF ALDA • 1. LAND TENURE IMPROVEMENT (LTI) • Focused on assessing the extent of land acquisition and distribution, ownership, cultivation and the improvement in tenurial status of ARBs • 2. ORGANIZATIONAL MATURITY (OM) • Assess the result of interventions under the Organizational Building and Strengthening (OBAS) KRA. This KRA deals with the assessment of the organizational functionality and financial viability of the ARB organizations in the ARCs
KEY RESULT AREAS OF ALDA • 3. ECONOMIC & PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT SERVICES (ECOPISS) • Assesses the delivery of needed economic and physical infrastructure support services to the ARCs, provision of credit and marketing services, and rural-based industries established to effect increase in ARBs productivity and household income. • 4. FARM PRODUCTIVITY & INCOME (FPI) • Assesses the ARBs’ adoption of appropriate farming technology to increase farm productivity and income.
KEY RESULT AREAS OF ALDA • 5. BASIC SOCIAL SERVICES (BSS) • Defines the existing basic social services in the ARC and the extent of access of the households to the services. • 6. GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT (GAD) • Assesses the access to land and economic services, and the participation of women in organizations and local governments
DEVELOPMENT OF SRDI AS A BASIS FOR ALDA WHY AN INDEX? • Convenient way in summarizing many components or indicators • Aggregates all indicators and KRAs of the ALDA incorporating the assigned weights • Useful in comparing many samples and determining growth & development trends • Indicators are link to performance measurement of different stakeholders
Indicators • Are variables with a particular characteristics or dimensions used for measuring progress towards achievement of key result areas. • Signposts to indicate movement towards a higher level of development CHARACTERISTICS • Relevant – measuring factors that affect the projects • Selective – adequate and meaningful • Clear – precisely defined so that their measurement and interpretation is unambiguous (more-or less – is unmistakably better)
Analysis & Interpretation1. Computation per index using STATISTICA.2. Determination of the levels of development of the communities based on the following thresholds for overall rating. Communities are first classified into three modalities:Satellite, Semi-Prime, & Prime Communities.
In each modality, thresholds are determined: Level 1. Low level of development Level 2. Lower-level of development Level 3. Medium level of development Level 4. Higher Medium Level of dev’t. Level 5. High Level of development
