1. Update on monitoring and evaluation
and impact assessment component 3.3
Nancy Johnson (ILRI)
CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish
Planning Meeting
ILRI Nairobi
28 September 2011
2. Improved design and delivery of program interventions with value
chain actors
Objective: The objective of this subcomponent is to develop a robust set of
monitoring, evaluation, impact assessment and learning mechanisms that will
serve multiple functions
a) maximizing the probability of achieving intended impact among target
beneficiaries, including women and vulnerable groups,
b) documenting the level and manner of that impact, and the outcomes that
brought it about,
c) understanding and supporting the processes of innovation and research to
development, to improve the performance of the program and its partners,
d) supporting the internal M&E, planning and decision functions, and the
communication strategy of the Program to continually ensure efficiency,
accountability and relevance.
3. Activities
• Activity 1: Development of a monitoring and
evaluation framework and appropriate tools at
program and value chain level
• Activity 2: Process monitoring to improve
learning during project implementation
• Activity 3: Assessing outcomes and behavioural
change among value chain actors
• Activity 4: Analysis of household and community
outcomes and impact
• Activity 5: Implementation and link to other
learning and M&E elements

6. Proposed Priority Outcomes & Outputs
2012 2013
Outcomes Program and partners use Better understanding among program
harmonized frameworks and tools and partners of key determinants of
for monitoring and evaluation development outcomes and impact
and strategies to influence them
Increased awareness of forage
impacts
Research (1) Monitoring and evaluation (1) Paper(s) using baseline data to
Outputs framework for value chain model potential impacts of value
projects developed and chain interventions and key
adapted for target VCs determinants of value chain
(2) Baseline report (qualitative performance (link to 2.1)
and quantitative value chain (2) Meta-analysis on impacts of
actors for pigs value chain In forages completed Presentation at
selected sites/countries the IGC 2013
3) Database designed (3) Evidence of impacts and their
4) Evidence of impacts and their determinants updated
determinants compiled and
assessed (methods and
findings)
8. Priorities for
Resource Mobilization
(1) Funds for harmonized qualitative and quantitative baseline studies across
all proposed value chains /countries
Funds for centre and partner meetings to develop detailed monitoring and
evaluation plan for the CRP
Funds for implementation of process monitoring and evaluation across value
chains, design of panel data set and design of M&E data base system
9. 2012 Priorities for
Organisational, Capacity Development and
Communication Activities
Restructure team to match CRP needs
Identify gaps for priority recruitment and partnership
Identify strategy and mechanisms for working links internally with
other CRP3.7 components, and externally
Dissemination of harmonized framework and tools for gender and
livelihoods, value chain performance to partners
Work with partners to develop process monitoring tools for
continuous monitoring, evaluation and improvement during
project implementation
