Potential Impacts by 2020

Increase of global rice production with 85 million tones paddy
over 2010 values.
40 million undernourished people reach caloric sufficiency in Asia,
reducing hunger in the region by 7%
Reduce expenditures on rice: 72 million people lifted above the $1.25
poverty line.
Water, nitrogen, and labor efficiencies in rice systems improved on a
wide scale, saving 7 billion cubic meters of irrigation water annually
Train a new generation of 1000 rice professionals (50/50%
graduate/postgraduate), at least 30% of them women.

Objectives of the M&E Strategy

To develop methods and tools for collecting data to

routinely monitor (track) the performance of GRiSP

milestones (indicators), outputs (products) and

periodically evaluate intermediate development outcomes

(IDOs) and impact.

of Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) lost from micronutrient
deficiency)
National: through A4HN as above; indicators to track delivery/use of

7. Gender equity Indicator 1: Womens control over resources.
o Mens and womens control over selected key agricultural resources:
empowerment
land, livestock water, forests, common property, seeds, fertilizers,
machinery, financial assets and the income from sales of crop,
livestock or forest products.
Indicator 2: Womens Participation in Decision Making.
o Decisions over own labor
o Decisions over own income
o Decisions made in groups or collective organization

Tracking Development
outcome indicators
1. Global Level: World Rice Statistics
2. At national level

Statistics (national, international),

GIS+RS+modelling

3. At Key Action Sites (Hubs):

Regular household surveys (proxy for biophysical

indicators)
Use of common protocols, CAPIs, data
management systems

Action Sites in Asia:

Area Based Household Survey

Map Detailed Map of Survey Area

Objectives of the Survey

To collect quantitative data from small holder
rice farm households in South and South East
Asia for the purpose of monitoring progress
towards GRiSP intermediate development
outcomes (IDOs).
To provide insight into adoption, constraints to
adoption, technology targeting, evaluation, and
impact assessment.

Systematic random selection of blocks/villages and
households
Sampling Criteria

Combined use of paper and computer (Vietnam)

Many rice varieties with local names (all countries)

Unit of measurement: Not always very specific (India)

Assets: Becoming sensitive (India)

Women enumerators were active in data collection. 90% of the enumerators were
women (Myanmar)

Some villages are very remote to travel/no electricity/no accommodation

(Bangladesh, Myanmar)

Difficulty in charging batteries to power the tablets (All)
