• Ownership and access to productive assets
• Livelihoods Situation

Percentage of Households in the community, or percentage of communities, that would be able to restart their agricultural activities in the upcoming season thanks to the itervention (access to seeds, access to land, labour work, etc.). Rationale: To be able to farm, HHs need access to arable land, seeds, tools and other agricultural inputs. Depending on the type of crisis, one or more of these can become unavailable. Not having the ability to cultivate fields has an impact on the households' future level of food self-sufficiency/security, cash income and as a consequence indebtedness or higher dependency on food aid, but it also has a more immediate impact on households that are relying significantly on labour as a source of income.

Geography/Livelihoods zone; Head of household’s gender, age, disabilities, chronic diseases, dependency ratio, and any other relevant criteria, such as urban/rural context, religious, ethnic or political identities; Wealth groups; Livelihoods group (e.g. pastoralist, farmers, traders); Period to achieve the objective;

• 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. Seasonality needs to be considered. Data Collection methods: Secondary data analysis; Households Survey, Focus Group Discussion;

• Primary production

This indicator is more precise measured as % of Households, however if this information is not available particularly in early phases of the emergency then % of communities can be used as a proxy. Baseline: Possibility of households able to restart with agricultural activities on time. Watch Out For! - A reduction in percentage of households able to cultivate their fields or area to be cropped means on one hand a loss of food production for the cultivating households; but also a loss of income source for the daily labourers. - At later stages reduced availability of food affects the availability of surplus production for marketing. - Planning an agriculture intervention requires careful planning and timing. In some cases, delays in the implementation of the project may result in missing the beginning of the planting season, and therefore jeopardize the whole operation. Agriculture interventions can take several months to bear fruit. Depending on the circumstances, it may be necessary to jointly organize food distributions in order to avoid people consuming grain intended as seed.
