| Summary: | This Good Practice Note aims to assist
Task Teams of the World Bank and their colleagues in the
client countries develop and implement effective monitoring
and evaluation (M&E) systems for agricultural research
and extension projects and programs. The chapters in this
Note provide a step-by-step guide for achieving that
objective, with emphasis on the World Bank M&E
requirements and the specific nature of agricultural
research and extension projects. Chapter 1 titled
"Challenges for M&E Systems in Agricultural
Research and Extension Projects" and Appendix 1 titled
"Narratives of New Approaches and Instruments in ARE
Systems" discuss the M&E challenges in agricultural
research and extension projects; and provide additional
information on the forces driving the changes in
agricultural research and extension systems as well as on
the typical approaches and instruments applied in
agricultural research and extension systems and projects.
The Note emphasizes the World Bank's M&E
Requirements at the design stage, namely the introduction of
the Results Framework and the associated requirements in the
Project Appraisal Document. Chapter 2 describes the key
issues in the results framework which are (a) development of
a clear project development objective and project
components, and (b) the importance of developing measurable
and realistic project outcome and intermediate outcome
indicators. In addition, Appendix 2 summarizes the
Bank's M&E steps throughout the Project Cycle and
Appendix 3 provides further details and references on the
Logical Framework. A list of indicators, with emphasis on
institutional, social, and environmental sustainability, and
data sources for agricultural research and extension
Projects are provided in Appendix 4. |
