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


 * Review by the MEL team of the core IDO indicators selected on the previous day**

Some of the core IDOs cannot show progress in the short term, and hence need for more specific medium-term indicators. In reference to IDO 2, to observe change at the market level we need an indicator of medium-term changes There is also need for some medium term indicators to show progress towards policy change in IDO 6

We consider the following indicators will not be able to show some significant impact in the medium term (3-6 years). Either because the indicator will not yet be measurable, or it will be involved in a complicated impact pathway to reach the IDO, or a more long-term impact is expected.

Thus, we need to identify some medium-term indicators to capture these issues:


 * 1) Productivity indicator 1: yield.
 * 2) Productivity indicator 2: efficiency. We discussed yesterday that we will use different inputs in different value chains to measure efficiency and identify the 'most important' input to calculate the core indicator.
 * 3) Quantity indicator 1: quantity of target commodity supplied
 * 4) Income indicator 1: Household income. We discussed yesterday that measuring income coming from the different target commodities would be a good medium-term indicator.
 * 5) Policy indicator 2: conducive environment

Thus, we still need to work on identifying three medium-term indicators to measure Productivity 1, Quantity 1 and Policy 2.
