ARISP I LOGICAL FRAMEWORK

INTERVENTION LOGIC	OBJECTIVELY VERIFIABLE INDICATORS	SOURCES OF VERIFICATION	ASSUMPTIONS & RISKS
Overall Objective Poverty alleviated amongst the ARBs nationwide (14 regions)	Living standards increased in 79 ARCs both within & after the project period.	Beneficiary income surveys (project years) compared against baseline survey (project y1) Project review/evaluation reports GOP statistics and poverty indicators	Peace and order prevail in the project areas
Project Purpose Increase the self-reliance, living standards and quality of life for all households actively farming within 79 ARCs nationwide.	Average household incomes increased in each ARC by 30% at the end of the y6 of the project. Increased agricultural diversification and production Increased support infrastructure and basic needs fulfillment	Project Internal M&E comparing baseline surveys levels against impact surveys in y5. Internal monitoring of yield, area, cultivated, diversification and physical construction. External evaluations GOP statistics and/or PBME. Participatory/self evaluation reports of peoples's organizations and NGOs.	Tripartite approach between DAR,NIA, and DPWH implemented and fostered. LGUs support is sufficient for operation and maintenance of infra facilities .Indicator: inflation rate remains stable in single digit.
Results 1. Rural infrastructure better supports farmer productivity and welfare in the 79 target ARCs.	79 CIPs/CISs, 327 kms of roads, 45 post harvest facilities constructed/rehabilitated and operating effectively. 14,574 hectares irrigated. Operation and maintenance of all infrastructure routinely budgeted and carried out. Increased volume of traffic in ARC. 15% reduction in transport costs due to roads and bridges. Percentage increase in sales prices/value added due to improved post-harvest infrastructure. Routine maintenance of infra by LGUs and POs.	Final inspection and project completion reports. Quarterly monitoring of PPMOs and RPMOs. Progress and PBME reports. Progress and PBME reports. Turn-over documents between the project and LGUs/IAs/Coops Final inspection and project completion reports.	Water resources are adequate and sustainable. Infrastructure facilities are well designed and constructed. Agencies are effective in implementation.
2. Agricultural productivity and incomes are increase in a sustainable way in 79 target ARCs.	Increase yield in palay/corn by 70% in end of project (2002). Increase cropping intensity by 200% in 2002. Increase effective crop area planted to palay to: 730 hectares in 1998; 5,830 hectares in 1999; 8,740 hectares in 2000; 11,660 hectares in 2001; 14,574 hectares in 2022. Increase in percentage of value added within ARCs due to drying and storage facilities.	PBME results PBME results; Project completion reports. Project completion reports. PBME results	Assumptions: Terms if trade in agriculture remain favorable; cost/prices of farm inputs/produce do not increase beyond 10-20%. Risk: Extreme climate conditions depress rain fed yields or cause flooding in irrigated areas. Tripartite approach to project implementation is working. MOA conditions adhered to and equity participation provided.
