L&F+MEL+meeting+groupwork+on+core+indicators

__Livestock and Fish Monitoring, evaluation and learning planning meeting__

Agree on 2 core indicators that are able to capture the essence of each IDO and suggest recommendations on its definition and improving the data collection method
 * **Group 1:**
 * IDO2-Quantity & quality**
 * IDO4-Consumption & nutrition** || **Group 2:**
 * IDO1-Productivity**
 * IDO6-Policies** || **[|Group 3]:**
 * IDO3: Employment and income**
 * IDO5-Environment** ||
 * Patricia Rainey || Lucy Lapar || Raymond Brandes ||
 * || Michael Kidoido || Stuart Worsley* ||
 * Keith Child || Malcolm Dickson || Nils Teufel ||
 * Kathleen Colverson* || Tom Randolph || Jane Poole ||
 * Harrison Rware || Isabelle Baltenweck* || Alessandra Galie ||
 * || James Rao || Joyce Wanderi ||
 * Facilitators

The group came to an agreement that all indicators will try to be 'gendered'.

__Outcome of group discussions on core indicators to measure intermediate development outcomes__

Consider including yield by acre of land used || Efficiency Output produced per input used, for the most important input (e.g. feed; labour) || This may fit better as medium term IDO, due to the complexity of data collection and analysis ||
 * IDO 1: PRODUCTIVITY **
 * || Indicator 1 || Indicator 2 ||
 * Name || Yield – by species
 * Definition || Ok with milk, meat and fish ||  ||
 * Data requirements || Per animal, per unit of production– per pond for fish || Per production unit, per year (farm/herd pond) ||
 * Suggestion for improvement || Include total factor of productivity. This would be particularly relevant for small ruminants || <span style="font-family: "Candara","sans-serif";">We could use efficiency analysis (production frontier)


 * IDO 2: Quantity and Quality**

//Indicator 1: Quantity of target commodity supplied;// Change ‘supplied’ to ‘available’ (definition of supply here to refer to intentional production for the market by the farmer; hence, will include data from both market and farm) Change ‘target’ to ‘small-scale producers’ This is disaggregated by:
 * Poverty status and gender- however, this disaggregation is more than the IDO statement requires
 * Frequency of data collection: biannual and will consider seasonality

//Indicator 2: quality of target commodity supplied;// Replace indicator 2.1.2 with indicator 2.2.2 which focuses on exposure to zoonotic diseases in the value chain. However, both are already implemented in CRP Nutrition and Health but in different places than Livestock and Fish If there are no existing standards, consider engaging experts to set acceptable standard to measure 2.1.2 Can we introduce ‘equity' into this IDO to justify engendering indicators?
