Presentation by Elwyn Grainger-Jones, Director, Environment and Climate Division, IFAD, at the 2012 Agriculture and Rural Development Day in Rio de Janiero, Learning Event No. 12, Session 1: "Adaptation for Smallholder Agriculture Programme (ASAP) Results Framework and Indicators"
2. ASAP Goal
Poor smallholder farmers are more resilient to
climate change
ASAP Purpose
Multiple-benefit adaptation approaches for
poor smallholders are scaled up

7. Results Framework - summary
• Overall goal: number beneficiaries
• Institutional impact: share overall lending and leverage
ratio
• Multiple benefits: diversity (# on-farm species) and
emissions
5 ASAP outcomes:
• Land management: # hectares under best practice
• Water: change in water efficiency use
• Human capacity: community groups formed or
strengthened
• Infrastructure: $ of infrastructure protected
• KM: # dialogues impacted
8. Questions
• Would an index approach add value and be
generalizable?
• What can be carried from “resilience
measurement” into regular agricultural and rural
development M&E?
• What potential for improved remote sensing?
• What lessons for SDGs and MDGs?
