Hierarchy of objectives Strategy of Intervention  Key Indicators  Data Sources Means of Verification  Assumptions and Risks (external factors) Impact (Overall Goal)  Impact Indicators Data Sources Means of Verification Assumptions: • The political situation in Mozambique is stable through the project lifetime • Economic growth in Northern Mozambique continues thanks to large-scale investments Increase in annual net income for horticultural smallholders in the Nacala Corridor in Northern Mozambique • # of benefitting smallholders • % increase in annual sales per smallholder • % increase in annual net income per smallholder in USD/year (target group and gender disaggregated) • Total additional net income generated in USD/year • Smallholders surveys (Baseline and Impact Assessments) Outcomes  Outcome Indicators  Data Sources Means of Verification External Factors (Assumptions & Risks)  Outcome 1 (Inputs & Practices) Productivity of horticultural smallholders in the Nacala Corridor in Northern Mozambique is increased • ∆ in productivity in t/ha/year • Smallholders surveys • Beneficiary database Assumptions: • New/improved seeds perform better that traditional varieties under the same conditions • Other inputs and practices are applied correctly by the smallholders Risks: • Unstable climatic conditions (e.g. erratic rainfall, drought) negatively influence productivity • Pest and Diseases decimating smallholders production • Competition for labour results in smallholders neglecting their fields for paid work Outcome 2 (Irrigation) Horticultural smallholders in the Nacala Corridor in Northern Mozambique increased their area under irrigation • ∆ in area (ha) under irrigation • Smallholders surveys • Beneficiary database Assumptions: • Labour available to irrigate the additional area • Working capital available to cultivate the additional area Risks: • Limited water sources available due to erratic climatic conditions (e.g. droughts) Outcome 3 (Sector Competitiveness) Market responsiveness and competitiveness of the horticultural sector in Northern Mozambique is increased • ∆ in local production traded in t/year • RESTA wholesale market data Risks: Local production not competitive to imports in terms of price and aggregated volumes Outputs (per outcome) and costs  Output Indicators  2 Hierarchy of objectives Strategy of Intervention  Key Indicators  Data Sources Means of Verification  Assumptions and Risks (external factors) For outcome1: Output 1.1 New/improved seeds are imported, made available, promoted by the private sector and accessed by horticultural smallholders  Tropicalized varieties increase smallholder adaptation capacities to cope with erratic rains and higher temperatures • # of inputs providers stocking new/improved seeds • Volumes of new/improved seeds sold per year (kg seeds/year) • # of smallholders accessing new/improved seeds • Smallholders repurchasing rate in % • Input providers sales lists • Smallholders surveys Assumptions: • Private sector players are available with critical mass of purchasing power to buy new/improved inputs • Horticultural smallholders have resources available and are willing to invest in new/improved inputs Risks: • Weak Mozambican currency increases import prices for inputs • Market distortion by government through dissemination of free seeds Output 1.2 Local seed producers make domestic horticulture quality seeds available to the private sector to be accessed by horticultural smallholders • # of domestic seed producers • Kg/year of domestic seeds produced • Market share of domestic quality seeds in % • Data from seeds reproducers on production volumes • Seed market analysis on market share Assumptions: • Seed market continues to grow guaranteeing economies of scale for domestic seed reproducers • Supportive government regulations facilitating seed certification process Risks: • Unstable exchange rate makes domestic production uncompetitive (in case of appreciation) or increases import prices for quality packaging (in case depreciation) Output 1.3 Innovative technologies in horticultural production are transferred from business to business (B2B) and adopted by the private sector providing new/improved inputs to smallholders  New technologies include protected cultivation (mini- tunnels/greenhouses) that increases smallholder adaptation capacities to cope with erratic rains and higher temperatures • # of business adopting new technologies • # of smallholders benefiting from new technologies • Project internal activity monitoring in regular progress reports • Business surveys Assumptions: • Funding available to private sector to invest in new technologies • Horticultural market continues to grow guaranteeing economies of scale for investing businesses Output 1.4 Basic, low-investment good agricultural practices (GAP) are disseminated through trained staff of private • # of Crop Days organized • # of companies and public institutions with staff trained • # of smallholders reached with dissemination activities • Project internal activity monitoring in regular progress reports • Smallholders surveys Assumptions: • Smallholders are open to innovate • Private and public sector have human and financial resources available
