Uh, we already have an M&E approach…
So, why do we need this?
Let’s take a look at what we’re doing….

This is a Value Chain
It is made up of all actors that actually touch a product from production to
final sale
These are VC Service Providers
They help the value chain actors move
product along the chain.

So, we’ve got a lot of things to keep track of.
Now, let’s also
consider this…
Let’s look at what we’re doing…

So, what does this mean?
Value Chain programming…
• Takes a facilitation approach, meaning our interventions will change based on:
• The actions of a wide-range of actors we cannot control• Constantly changing market dynamics we cannot control• Things we learn along the way – what works, what doesn’t
• Accepts that, when we start a project, we do not know much of what we need to in order to succeed
Whoa! That looks complicated!
It is. But, that’s why we have new tools.
So, what does this mean for M&E?
5 Things Every Practitioner Needs to Know about M&E for Value Chain Programming
1. Some things are different – but not everything.
2. Need shorter, faster feedback loops and ability to adapt to changes in strategy.
3. Need to deconstruct walls between front line / field staff and M&E staff.
4. Need to measure the sustainability of change, not only the incidence of change.
5. Need to develop new models for impact evaluation.
How do we get there?

Draft Universal Indicators for VC Initiatives
Domain IndicatorsIncreased Scale of Impact
# of poor individuals (those living below PPP $1 / day) that are directly and indirectly impacted by our value chain interventions.
Income poverty reduction
# of CARE IG members that have transitioned from below to above the poverty line (PPP$1 / day or national poverty line).*
Total and % increase in annual income among IG members from productive activity supported by CARE.*
Cost-effectiveness
Ratio of total income gains from productive activity supported to total expenditures at project conclusion.*
Sustainability of Market Change
% change in value of transactions between IG members and other market actors at project conclusion. % change in VC actors reporting increased importance of other targeted VC actors to their success.
Women’s Empowerment
% men and women reporting meaningful participation of women in decision-making at the household level in a domain previously reserved for men
% men and women reporting meaningful participation of women in the public sphere
% men and women reporting ability of women to effectively control productive assets
Average number of hours per day spent on house work in relation to the duration of the working day, by sex
