This project outlines a comprehensive Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) framework tailored for agricultural interventions in the Ethiopian Highlands. It includes methodologies for site identification, data analysis, and the application of key indicators, such as nutrition and market effects. Focusing on cost/benefit analysis and RCT evaluations, the project uses diverse datasets, including household surveys and spatial data, to stratify development domains. The aim is to develop whole-farm models and improve insights into innovations, thereby enhancing productivity and sustainability at both community and national levels.
