• Outcome

• Increase and diversification of incomes

To record diversification in terms of agricultural production. It is appropriate to use for programmes that have a particular focus on risk reduction. In initial stages of development, growing a more diversified array of crops is a means of mitigating against risk (as risk abates later, farms will opt for specialization), either in terms of production for own consumption or for sale into the market. Indicates improved access to agriculture inputs, increased knowledge on variety of crops and is proxy indicator for improved productivity, food security and diversified diet. - Includes staple crop, vegetable and agroforestry production.

• Increase (number)

Both secondary and primary data collection can be used according to context. Baseline/Endline. If multiyear programme consider also a mid-term evaluation Secondary data. Reliable/relevant sources from other actors, clusters or government. Data Collection methods: Secondary data analysis; Households Survey, Focus Group Discussion; Observation

• Primary production

> Number of crops cultivated relative to baseline > Type of crops cultivated relative to baseline > Surface of various crops cultivated relative to baseline - Proportional piling is a useful method for assessing proportions of various crops of overall cultivation surface or household production. - Needs to consider potential changes in seasonal availability of agriculture inputs, needs to measure overall change. - Needs to consider potential changes in seasonal productivity, e.g. not every season in bimodal areas is similarly productive.
