• Outcome

• Productivity enhancement

Change in target population production and/or production quality compared to a normal year or baseline level.

This indicator is focused on production increase (or improvement) supported by different mechanisms (cash/in-kind productive assets, technical support, new or improved productive assets, etc.).

• It includes staple crop, vegetable and agroforestry production support.
• It includes livestock, fishing and pisciculture, aquaculture, apiculture, etc., support.
• It includes the use of improved productive assets (e.g. improved seeds).
• It includes group and individual IGA support (handicraft, by-products, primary production transformation, etc.).
• It includes training and capacity building activities.
• It includes household / community / productive association / MSME creation or reconstruction of productive infrastructures that allow the improvement of production (irrigation infrastructures, etc.).

Definitions:

• MSME: micro, small and medium enterprises (formal or informal)
• IGA: income generation activities

• Geography/Livelihood zone;
• Gender, age, disabilities, chronic diseases (for individuals, associations members, etc.);
• Head of household’s gender, age, disabilities, chronic diseases, dependency ratio (for households), and any other relevant criteria, such as urban/rural context, religious, ethnic or political identities;
• Wealth groups; Livelihood group (e.g. pastoralist, farmers, traders);
• Period to achieve the objective;

• Increase (number)

Both secondary and primary data collection can be used according to context.

• Baseline/Endline. If multiyear programme consider also a mid-term evaluation.
• Secondary data. Reliable/relevant sources from other actors, clusters or government (e.g. assessment information, reference to a normal situation).

Unit of Measurement: Population, but can also be households or productive organisations, or MSME. If percentage:

• Numerator: Number of target population that have improved their production (fixed threshold).
• Denominator: Total number of target population

Data Collection methods:

• Secondary data analysis;
• Household/productive organisations/etc. survey and focus group discussions;
• Key informant interviews;
• Production monitoring reports/records.

• Income Generation Activities and Employment
• Primary production

X% handcraft target cooperatives (from those Y% are refugee members) in Bangui improve their production by Z% during the programme period. X target households (from those Y are women-headed) in Dawa province improve their staple crops production by Z% during the programme period due to the use of improved seeds.
