Presentation Outline

I. Introduction to analytic hierarchy process

II. Goal, objectives, and CAPS

III. Survey instructions

IV. Survey

V. Discussion of Results

What is analytic hierarchy process (AHP)?• A multi-criteria, multi-level decision-making method• Breaks down complex decisions into a series of simple questions reflecting an optimal goal,

objectives, and various options • Provides a structured technique for organizing and analyzing differing preferences for CAPS

options

I. Introduction to analytic hierarchy process

OBJECTIVES:

FP(Full Till, Millet)

CAPS 1(Full Till, Cowpea)

CAPS 2(Full Till, Millet/Cowpea

Intercrop)

CAPS 3(Strip Tillage,

Millet/Cowpea Intercrop)

OPTIONS:

II. Goal, objectives, and CAPS

• GOAL: Improved Income

• OBJECTIVES:• Profit

• Labor Saving

• Yield

• Soil Quality

• CAPS –Maize Based Systems• FP(Full Till / Millet), CAPS 1(Full Till / Cowpea), CAPS

2(Full Till / CP+M), CAPS 3(Strip Till / CP+M)

Projected results of CAPS implementation

For each comparison, we will follow two steps:1. State which element is most important or

preferred to meeting the goal or objective2. Show the level of importance or preference

compared to the other option using the scale and candies provided.

Equal Moderate Strong Very Strong Extreme

Scale of Importance

III. Survey instructions

1. For the goal or objective presented, tell your recorder which option you feel is best for meeting the goal or objective.

Which CAPS are more important to meeting the goal of increased Profit?

For example…

FP OR CAPS 2

2. Using the scale and the candies provided, show how much more important the best option is compared to the other?
