We went through the basics of M&E for each project. In each case we clarified the differences between activities, outputs, outcomes and impact. We also related them to the market map (e.g. outcomes at the three levels of the market map) and to our model (impact at the level of the improvements of the livelihoods of marginalised small-scale producers, and outputs at the level of the IGs and MoG, amongst others).
We also had a brief look at the IA2's IA Framework and went through some of the indicators suggested by the TLs in Sri Lanka last year. The framework was very useful and saved us a lot of time. Each PM kept a copy of the framework and will choose some indicators from the list.
Oops, I almost forgot... At the very end (people were very tired by then) I also showed them paticipatory video pilot in Peru. They were very excited about the possibilities and the methodology. They also laughed a lot in the part where the singer talks about how they prefer their native potatoes and women...

About Me

- I contribute to the quality and effectiveness of Practical Action's Markets and Livelihoods Program. My roles involve building the capacity of the field teams in participatory market systems development, project design and monitoring, knowledge management, and international influencing. Projects that I have or am managing: USAID AMAP Becoming an Effective Learning Organization; and New Partners for Value Chain Development Learning. I facitate the Market Facilitation Initiative (MaFI) which is a working group of the SEEP with the technical support of Practical Action. I moved from Chemical Engineering into appropriate technologies in 1995 and then worked for seven years in Fundacion Social (Colombia) in the field of International Cooperation. During that period I acquired experience in participatory local development and project design and M&E. I was a fellow of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation in two programs; I studied International Cooperation and Development Projects and I have an M.Phil. in Development Studies from the Institute of Development Studies (UK) where I focused on value chains, innovation systems and social networks.
