Project metrics

Outcome 1:

Strengthened adaptive capacity and reduced exposure to climate risks

 Indicators:

Indicator 1.2: Number of males and females benefiting from the adoption of diversified, climate-resilient livelihood options
Indicator 2.2 Number of food secure households (in areas / periods at risk of climate change).
7.1 Extent to which target beneficiaries (vulnerable households, communities, businesses and public-sector services) adopt climate-resilient technologies (improved tools, instruments, strategies and activities to respond to climate variability and climate change).
Percentage of population with access to improved climate information, weather and agricultural advisories (disaggregated by gender)
Percentage of smallholder farmers demonstrating knowledge to plan for and manage climate risk to support resilient agricultural production disaggregated by gender
Perception of targeted populations on the timeliness, content and reach of weather, agricultural and water advisories
Area (ha) of agriculture land made more resilient to climate change through changed agricultural practices (e.g. planning times new and resilient native varieties, efficient irrigation schemes adopted).
Number of farmers adopting new agricultural practices and alternative livelihoods
Percentage increase in agricultural incomes in the project sites
Percentage of households accessing financial education programmes related to credit and insurance schemes
Percentage of resilient commodities produced by target farmers that are sold on the markets
Outcome 2:

Smallholder farmers are able to plan for and manage climate risk to support resilient agricultural production
Outcome 3:

Resilient agricultural livelihoods are promoted in the face of changing rainfall, increasing drought and occasional floods
Outcome 4:

Increasing farmers' access to markets and commercialization of resilient agricultural products
