USAID/GHANA PERFORMANCE INDICATOR REFERENCE SHEET

Project Goal: Improved sustainable management of Ghana's marine and coastal resources

PIR 2: PIR 2: Increased information and knowledge for natural resource management

Indicator Number: 12

Name of Indicator: Number of members of producer organizations and community-based organizations receiving USG assistance - 4.5.2(27)

DESCRIPTION

Precise Definition(s): Producer organization in this context is any grouping of people involved in agriculture including input suppliers, transporters, farmers, fishers, ranchers, processors, etc. that is organized around adding value to agricultural production. A community-based organization (CBO) in this context is simply an organization involved in supporting any type of agricultural activity (including post-harvest transformation) and is based in a community and made up principally of individuals from the local community. Producer associations are often CBOs, but are reported as a distinct disaggregate. USG assistance can include any help provided to either type of organization to expand coverage, services provided, information, etc. Some examples are organizational capacity building, training, other technical assistance, provision of supplies and materials, encouragement and motivation for improvements, etc. The indicator includes any person within the agricultural value chain who is a member of one of these organizations and thus directly received USG assistance.

This indicator counts the number of members within these types of organizations which receive assistance. It does not count the number of institutions, the amount of the assistance or the change in the value of agricultural commodities. Note that individuals counted under this indicator would also be part of households counted in the total number under indicator 4.5.2(13) Number of rural households benefiting, as applicable.

Unit of Measure: Number

Disaggregated by: Sex of member and type of organization

Justification & Management Utility: Helping the members of these institutions directly strengthens those organizations, which in turn will assist in improving the overall value of production in the agricultural value chain, improving productivity and contributing to a reduction in poverty, as most of the poor are in rural areas either as farmers, farm workers or workers in rural enterprises.

USAID/GHANA PERFORMANCE INDICATOR REFERENCE SHEET

Project Main Purpose: Strengthened capacity for sustainable fisheries and coastal resource management

Indicator Number: 13 (FTF IR 1.1)

Name of Indicator: Number of farmers and others who have applied new technologies or management practices as a result of USG assistance - 4.5.2(5)

DESCRIPTION

Precise Definition(s): This indicator measures the total number of direct beneficiary farmers and other primary sector producers (capture fisheries, aquaculture, and natural resource-based products), as well as individual processors (not firms), rural entrepreneurs, traders, natural resource managers, etc. that applied improved technologies anywhere within the food and fiber system as a result of USG assistance during the reporting year. This includes innovations in efficiency, value-addition, post-harvest management, marketing, sustainable land management, managerial practices, and input supply delivery. Technologies and practices to be counted here are agriculture-related, including those that address climate change adaptation and mitigation (including, but not limited to, carbon sequestration, clean energy, and energy efficiency as related to agriculture). Significant improvements to existing technologies and practices will be counted. Some practices will include Capture Fisheries Technique/Gear: e.g. sustainable fishing practices; improved nets, hooks, lines, traps, dredges, trawls; improved hand gathering, netting, angling, spear fishing, and trapping practices. Aquaculture Management: e.g. improved fingerlings, improved feed and feeding practices, fish disease control, pond culture, pond preparation, sampling & harvesting, carrying capacity & fingerling management and other management practices including record keeping

Unit of Measure: Number

Disaggregated by: Type of actor, technology, by sex and under new (first timers) and continuing (repeaters)

Justification & Management Utility: Technological change and its adoption by different actors in the agricultural supply chain will be critical to increasing agricultural productivity, which is the Intermediate Result under which this indicator falls. This indicator is a direct measure of strengthened institutional and human capacity and accounts for USG funds expended in capacity building through training.

PLAN FOR DATA ACQUISITION BY FCMCBSP

Data Collection Method: FCMCBSP will collect data directly by surveying individual beneficiaries to ascertain application of technology and management practices.

Method of Data Acquisition by FCMCBSP: Survey data will be entered into a FCMCBSP training database.

Data Source: Signed agreements and subsequently awarded certificates.

Frequency and Timing of Data Acquisition: Annually

Estimated Cost of Data Acquisition: Cost is low

Individual(s) Responsible at FCMCBSP: FCMCBSP Core Management Team Leader/M&E Leader

DATA QUALITY ISSUES

Date of Initial Data Quality Assessment: Immediately after first survey data is collated for USAID/Ghana reporting

Known Data Limitations and Significance (if any): Determining the level of application of new technologies or management practices is difficult since some may require high initial capital outlays

Actions Taken or Planned to Address Data Limitations: Treat each technology and management practice case by case

Date of Future Data Quality Assessments: May, 2019

Procedures for Future Data Quality Assessments: Review data internally and with METSS using six criteria per DQA guidance

PLAN FOR DATA ANALYSIS, REVIEW, & REPORTING

Data Analysis: Trends and Comparisons and Cross-tabulation

Presentation of Data: Charts, tables, narratives.

Review of Data: Annually with M&E officers and other team members

Reporting of Data: FCMCBSP Annual progress reports to USAID/Ghana

USAID/GHANA PERFORMANCE INDICATOR REFERENCE SHEET

Project Main Purpose: Strengthened capacity for sustainable fisheries and coastal resource management

PIR 2/ KRA 2.2: Communication, Extension and Outreach improved

Indicator Number: 14

Name of Indicator: Number of rural households benefiting directly from USG interventions - 4.5.2(13)

DESCRIPTION

Precise Definition(s): A household is a beneficiary if it contains at least one individual who is a beneficiary. An individual is a direct beneficiary if s/he comes into direct contact with the set of interventions (goods or services) provided by the activity. The intervention needs to be significant, meaning that if the individual is merely contacted or touched by an activity through brief attendance at a meeting or gathering, s/he should not be counted as beneficiary.

Individuals who receive training or benefit from activity-supported technical assistance or service provision are considered direct beneficiaries, as are those who receive a ration or another type of good. (An indirect beneficiary, on the other hand, does not necessarily have direct contact with the activity but still benefits, such as the population who uses a new road constructed by the activity or the individuals who hear a radio message but don’t receive any other training or counseling from the activity.

The definition of “rural” is any village or community with less than 10,000 persons according to GSS. This indicator can include vulnerable households if they are in rural areas. This indicator then effectively becomes the total number of producer memberships in assisted groups plus those producers trained who are not members of producer groups.

Unit of Measure: Number

Disaggregated by: New/Continuing and Gendered Household type

Justification & Management Utility: This is a count of rural households who have benefited from FCMCBSP assistance. It provides context information for other indicators covering coastal community members and groups. This is an FTF output indicator and a USAID Standard indicator. Tracks access and equitable access to services in targeted areas.
