To be put forward for future projects as a possible intervention

action_plan:

The project managment team agrees in principle with the recommendation which suggests to prove emperically that the market linkage model is as a replicable model. If successful the project promote this as a model which can be incorporated it into development strategies domestically and aboard. While the management team agrees with the recommendation it also needs to be considered that a continuation of the current efforts to upscale and replicate the approach would require additional resources which are not available at present. However, for future projects this could be integrated into the design.

title:

4. Data collection: The Project has developed market linkage models which are replicable. There is potential to develop these models further to be incorporated into development strategies and policies. In agriculture, there is a vast untapped body of data from the farmer fields on yields and expenses. It is recommended that the Project invests to collect these data from as many farmers as possible and analyse the data to provide evidence, including cost-benefit analysis, of robustness of the market linkage models. The Development Officers in the Divisional Secretariats could be mobilised, with the concurrence of the Divisional Secretaries, for collection of these data, which have a planning value for Divisional Secretaries as well. It is also recommended that qualitative outcome information of human wellbeing and social development are also collected. Similarly, the irrigation tank rehabilitation through cash-for work will provide very useful information on returns on investment, as a potential replicable model.
