PURPOSE: To improve farm family incomes	% increase in the level of disposable income by 2013.	Household surveys.	International microfinance laws and policies remain consistent.
OUTPUTS: Locally produced and consumed fertilizers and pesticides. Local producer co-ops. Low cost irrigation system. Farm credit system	% increase in the number of farmers participating in local producer co-ops by 2013. x% of fertilizers and pesticides consumed that are locally produced. x% increase in the number of farmers that have access to low cost irrigation by 2013.	Co-op rosters Borrower group financial records.	Governmental policies remain consistent.
ACTIVITIES: Capitalize loan funds; train farmers in sustainable agriculture and use of locally produced agricultural inputs; train small-entrepreneurs in how to produce key agricultural inputs	Budget 1 million dollars: Training Costs: X dollars Loan Costs: X dollars	Receipts and invoices	Local currency not devalued

PERFORMANCE INDICATOR SHEET

Name of Strategic Objective: Growth in the agricultural sector

Name of Intermediate Result: Dependence on imported agricultural inputs reduced

Name of Indicator: X% of fertilizers and pesticides consumed that are locally produced

Is this an Annual Report? Yes. For five years.

DESCRIPTION

Precise Definition(s): 1. Fertilizers and pesticides consumed = Utilization of soil nutrients and plant protecting products.

2. Locally produced = Created and manufactured within the borders of Zambia.

Unit of Measurement: local production and consumption in cubic tons/ total production and consumption in cubic tons= % of locally produced/consumed pesticides and fertilizers in Zambia

Disaggregated By: Age, gender and educational level of farmers. Age: 17-25, 25-35, 35-50 because there could be a difference in receptiveness to new ideas and practices. Females could be more receptive to new ideas and practices. Educational background: no schooling, only primary school, high school graduate, college level and higher because there could be a difference in receptiveness to new ideas and practices.

Justification & Management Utility: If the percentage of locally produced fertilizers and pesticides is increased this demonstrates a reduced dependence on imported agricultural inputs.

PLAN FOR DATA ACQUISITION BY USAID

Data Collection Method: Structured interviews for the farmers, focused group interviews and statistical review

Data Source: Ministry of Agricultural Statistics, Local Farmer Surveys
