MONITORING AND EVALUATION

Abstract

The US-AID funded Baluchistan Agriculture Project has been designed to improving food security and nutrition, and promoting commercialization for overall improvement of socio economic condition of small producers. This is achieved through a staggering range of development interventions involving land and water resources and their efficient use; improving crop and livestock productivity; marketing and post-harvest management; and capacity building. Most of the activities involve attitudinal change towards a host of best practices.  Attitudinal changes occur slowly and present challenges of measurement within the time frame of the project. Further, the benefits of the project’s interventions accrue to direct and indirect participants.  A number of M&E tools are used to monitor the progress and measure project’s direct and indirect impacts.
