Livelihoods of Farm Families inGanges coastal

area? Change in policy?- Illegal cuts in embankment

- Water distribution policy G3- Land tenure policy(sharecropping/leased in) G3

What change?


3/66

5/21/12

Aus rice area increased? Why?- More tidal water? Sea water rise?

Monsoon wind?- Variety trial of Aus rice is moreimportant

- Yield of Aus - ~3 t/ha- Shifting to boro rice for 5 t/ha?- Is easy/free water restricting thepopularity of boro rice?

Domain Map

Prediction of sea water level (rise?) More precipitation is predicted, which

may induce more upstream flow How about salinity intrusion then? Prediction is needed for:

- Ice to water to vapor not ice to wateronly

BDC

31 March, 2012


24/66

5/21/12

Gender outcome objectives of the

Ganges BDC High adoption rates of new practices andtechnologies among men and women;

reduced gender gap in technology

adoption rates; equitable access to resources and skills for

women and men;

equitable uptake of training, financial andbusiness services by men and women;

and increase in the number of men and

women engaged in production and marketor anizations.


25/66

5/21/12

Gender Mainstreaming Process: 5 stages ofthe research and development cycle

Priority setting. The differential needs,interests and priorities of women and men

are reflected. Research in development. Researchers

are sensitized to gender issues andconsult female and male users in researchand development.

Extension. Female and male extensionworkers deliver extension services to

female and male producers


26/66

5/21/12


Adoption of innovations. The enablingconditions for adoption such as cash,

credit, labor, skills and property rights willbe taken into account.

Evaluation and impact assessment.Gender differences are taken into accountin deciding on criteria or indicators thatassess the costs and benefits ofagricultural innovation and their related

distribution.

Gender in Ganges BDC: ThreeAction Areas

to change norms, attitudes, beliefs and practicesrelating to gender rolesthat constrain equityby

educating both women and men. to strengthen the role of women in decision making

in many contexts, ranging from households to localgovernment;

Emphasize increasing womens access to,ownership of and control over productiveresources, especially land, water, technology,finances and services.


28/66

5/21/12

Recommendations for each G G1: Identify, address genderdifferences in how land is used andincorporate womens activities in

land use plans; identify gendercontext to new technologies

G2: women in HH production system;

impact of intensification,diversification on role of women;involved in participatory evaluation

of new cropping systems; womens


29/66

5/21/12

Recommendations for each G G3: Womens role in watergovernance; impact of governanceon their activities; participation and

perspectives in policy formulation

G4: gender disparities in the effectsof any hydrology models that are

developed; affect of external driverson mens and womens activities

Why do we need M&E?

We all need performance information

- On which to base our decisions;

- To adapt to changing circumstances;

- To communicate what we are achieving

M&E answers performance questions,

e.g.- Are we progressing as expected along ourproject outcome pathways?

- Is the project doing what is said it would

M&E tools and methods

used by GBDC1. Project workbooks2. Ex-ante outcome assessment3. Reflection workshops4. Reporting5. Monitoring progress along outcome

Built from project OLMs and outcome targets

Next steps

Projects verify BDC composite OLM and outcometargets (in this workshop)

G5 write composite outcome and impactnarrative

3. Reflection workshopReflection is a key part of CPWF M&E.

Project staff and key stakeholders assesswhat has happened and revisit basicassumptions

New information, feedback fromstakeholders, experience, learning, allfeeds into this reflection

Outcome target may change, becomingmore precise or more realistic.

Outcome pathways, and related changesmade for activities and milestones

4. Reporting

Reporting is one of the importantevents (MOV) in M&E system.

The CPWF requires six-monthly

and annual progress reportsfrom each projects and BDCs foreach year.

Most significant change Project leader and Basin leader willprovides the guidance that needs tocollect and select significant changestories as part of 6-monthly reporting All should need to follow the propersteps of story collection (ie collectingstories, selecting stories, giving feedback,verification of stories and use of stories)http://monitoring.cpwf.info/m-e-tools-and-wo

KASP Surveys KASP = knowledge, attitude, skills

and practice

KASP Surveys identify changes inKASP

Guided by OLMs

Being proposed now, as the main

part of the G5 M&E planThe proposal is that each project

would do one next year

Build on what is already planned, e.g.

Use of KASP Survey Data


64/66

5/21/12

Use of KASP Survey Data

Evidence of early outcomes will helpwith fund raising to continue thework

Help with completion reports

Satisfy CPWF expectation thatprojects seek evidence of earlyoutcomes
