What do we measure and how?

Focus on farm-level productivity, sustainable intensification and farm profitability.

We measure at two levels:

• Zone of Influence level in 12 target countries (mostly sub-Saharan)

-livestock module when applicable

• Project level for each implementing mechanism

4

Range of standard indicators (output, outcome and impact) (using standard PIRS indicator definitions)

4 key farm level agriculture indicators:

• Number of farmers applying improved management practices• Yield (production output / unit of production) (productivity)• Number of hectares under improved technologies/management

practices• Value of incremental sales

Context indicators (e.g. rainfall, NDVI) understand true programming impact.

Disaggregate livestock results by 4 production systems:

• Rangelands

• Rural mixed-crop

• Urban-peri-urban

• Intensive commercial confined systems

Also gender disaggregation of data

All livestock systems were treated equally - Apples and Oranges?

What is not well measured?

Multifunctionality of livestock: other benefits/outputs of livestock production systems – risk management, financial services, crop-livestock synergies, ecosystem services, not captured

Externalities – (GHG emissions, water footprint etc.) only captured on an ad hoc basis and by environment office (e.g. CCAFS PRIME evaluation)

Food loss and waste (including mortalities and morbidities) not systematically captured
