L&F+MEL+meeting+extra+medium-term+indicators


 * Livestock and Fish Monitoring, evaluation and learning planning meeting**


 * Additional medium-term indicators suggested by the group to measure IDOs**

Agree on 1 medium-term indicator and suggest recommendations on its definition and improving the data collection method
 * **Group 1:**
 * IDO1-Productivity** || **Group 2:**
 * IDO2-Quantity** || **Group 3:**
 * IDO6-Policies** ||

__**Group 1: IDO 1 Productivity**__ Adoption of new or improved technology and management practices
 * Type: quantitative
 * Designation: 1.2.1
 * Definition:
 * proportion of target producers applying improved technology and management practices related to 1. Feed. 2. Animal health, 3. Genetics, 4. Management and 5. Output quality, out of the total target farmers (e.g. % farmers planting fodder; % farmers using AI)
 * extent of use (e.g. land under fodder for these farmers planting fodder; use rate of AI for AI users) amongst adopters
 * Rationale: refer to VC Impact pathways to identify the specific technologies by VC
 * Disaggregated by breed; sex of the head of household (will be difficult to look at intra household)
 * Data sources: household survey, possibly confirmed with SP surveys

__Not to be captured under this IDO but should be captured elsewhere__ Change in costs and labour use related to the adoption of new or improved technology and management practices
 * Type: quantitative
 * Designation: 1.2.2
 * Definition:
 * Difference in cash costs associated with adoption of technologies and practices
 * Difference in labour allocation associated with adoption of technologies and practices
 * Rationale: costs impact adoption rates and sustainability by gender; and therefore yields.
 * Disaggregated by breed; sex of the head of household (will be difficult to look at intra household)
 * Data sources: household survey, possibly confirmed with SP surveys


 * __Group 2: IDO2-Quantity__**


 * **IDO2: Quantity & Quality ** ||
 * ===**1.2.1** Indicator: **Adoption of new or improved market facilities, technology and practices**===

Comments from the group: Data sources: VC analyses/surveys
 * Possible suggestion: ** market channels rather than facilities, technology & practices ||
 * ** Type of indicator: ** || Quantitative ||
 * ** Designation: ** || Number: 3.2.1 ||
 * ** Definition: ** || Level of adoption of new or improved market facilities, technology and practices through:
 * Increased number of storage facilities (incl. cooling)
 * Dedicated market places
 * Market information communication/technologies
 * Improved handling and transport practices
 * Etc.
 * Basically applicable to all VCs (change measurement)
 * Changes are expected within the medium-term
 * Facilities and practices have to be defined for each VC and there may be changes over the medium term
 * List of facilities/technologies/practices limited to market access

Alternative option may be to look at share of commodity sold (vs. consumed within the household) Advantage is this is the first indicator of commercialisation. Disadvantage not applicable to all VCs. || Who collects data: Value chain country coordinators How data should be collected: Value chain KAP surveys Frequency of collection: Annually Examples of improved market facilities, technology and practices in terms of storage facilities (incl. cooling), dedicated market places, market information communication/technologies and handling and transport practices etc. ||
 * ** Rationale: ** || Increased number of storage facilities (incl. cooling), dedicated market places, market information communication/technologies and improved handling and transport practices enable to achieve higher profit margins, increase actual saleable volume, etc. to increase income. ||
 * ** Unit: ** ||  ||
 * ** Disaggregated by: ** ||  ||
 * ** Calculation tool: ** ||  ||
 * ** Interpretation key: ** || More is better ||
 * ** Data requirement and source: ** || **Data: level of** adoption of new or improved market facilities, technology and practices as mentioned above
 * Data source: Value chain KAP surveys** ||
 * ** Measurement notes: ** || Level of collection: Value chain programme level of target commodity
 * ** Unit of analysis: ** || Value chain ||
 * ** Comment: ** ||  ||

__**Group 3: IDO 6 – Conducive policies**__

Medium-term Indicator: Definition: Observable increase in group action around agendas that support small scale production and marketing systems. Data requirement: change “implemented” to “identified” Data source: secondary data, and KAP surveys that include observable change
 * New: “Increased number of groups supporting smallholder farmers that include gender equitable policies in value chains”**

Other Medium-term indicators: Retain: **“Number of regulations/laws affected by program interventions”** and **“Number of Partnerships Established”**
