Tracking results in agriculture and rural development in less-than-ideal conditions
The Sourcebook provides a number of workable approaches for designing an M&E system that would be of greatest relevance to different agricultural and rural development (ARD) activities, projects and programmes, and degree of data availability. A set of 19 priority indicators based on the criteria of compatibility, availability and relevance have been identified for the purpose of international comparisons. It is expected that most countries, regardless of the stage of development of their monito ring system and statistical capacity, will be in a position to provide periodic data on these indicators. A comprehensive set of 86 indicators validated in countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, covering all subsectors of ARD and some thematic areas, offers M&E professionals, project planners and policy-makers a ready-made menu to select the indicators that best suit their needs. In preparing the menu, due care has been taken to include indicators that are workable even in situations where data availability is less-than-ideal.
