ARISP II LOGICAL FRAMEWORK

DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY	OBJECTIVELY VERIFIABLE INDICATORS	MEANS OF VERIFICATION	ASSUMPTIONS/RISKS
GOAL: Income increased	20% increase over baseline survey data estimated in constant prices 3 years after project completion	Baseline survey data Impact Assessment Studies NSO statistical reports & publications Philippine Statistical Yearbook Philippine Income & Expenditure survey	Sustained economic activities in the project areas Prices of rice, corn and other farm products remain stable

Productivity Increased	Increased cropping intensity to 200% in year 2009 Increased farm productivity from 3.15 tons/ha to 5 tons/ha in year 2009 Increased production of palay, corn & other selected crops Reduced maintenance cost of irrigation canals of rehabilitated irrigated facilities Sustained high level collection of irrigation service fees Lowered transport cost of goods and people by 38% Lowered hauling cost of farm produce by 50% Decreased travel time from ARC to economic centers and vice-versa by 46% Increased number and types of vehicles using the FMRs for ARCs with rehabilitated FMRs Increased number of transport-related services and businesses generated Reduced incidence of water-borne and water-related diseases Reduced time for fetching water Increased household economic activities Decreased losses from spoilage of farm produce Increased in prices of agricultural produce Increase in income of cooperatives	Project M&E reports Benefits Monitoring Data Sheet Benefit Evaluation Studies Project Mid-Term review PAGASA meteorogical reports CPI of farm inputs LGU budgets for repair and maintenance of local infrastructure & extension services Surveys on willingness of communities to participate in project activities	Farm inputs (e.g., HYV, fertilizers, chemicals) are made available to farmer-beneficiaries at affordable prices Beneficiaries are willing to try new technologies Credit requirements of farmers are provided either by the cooperatives or by other financing institutions Sustained support of LGUs to the project, particularly in the repair and maintenance of farm-to-market roads, extension services, and in the planning and maintenance of rural water supply projects Micro-enterprises and small livelihood projects identified by beneficiaries get the necessary funding Community members are willing to participate in organizations involved in the project
2. ARCs transformed into viable, organized, self-reliant, socially prepared, and technically capable communities	Increased capital build-up funds generated Increased amount of savings mobilized High collection efficiency of loans and/or fees from members and/or users of facilities High level of debt repayment by cooperatives, irrigators associations, and rural water users associations Enhanced management and technical skills of officers and members of cooperatives, irrigators associations, and rural water users associations in the areas of leadership, resource mobilization, financial capability, credit management, and organization Improved efficiency in the operation and maintenance of infrastructure support facilities Increased level of application of technical know-how from extension services and demonstration farms Enhanced capability of selected LGU staff in planning, implementation and maintenance of RWS projects
