Request for Proposals: Regional Agriculture Innovation Network (RAIN) Project
Details
Description
Under the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food for Progress (FFPr) program, Winrock is implementing the Thailand RAIN project over a five-year period through August 31, 2027. RAIN facilitates adoption of climate-smart innovations to increase farmer incomes, reduce environmental impact, and expand trade. The approach identifies climate-smart innovations and enhances them by incorporating extension, financial, and data services, and promotes the availability and use of innovations to processors and producers.
RAIN’s Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) team is conducting a baseline evaluation to establish the baseline for project M&E efforts. The baseline study has the following objectives:
- establish baseline values of the indicators to track progress and performance through the life of the project—including setting a foundation for bi-annual performance assessments
- establish baseline values of the outcome and impact indicators for comparison against the same values to be collected in midterm and final evaluation
- establish baseline values for counterfactuals so that we can measure impact
- help review and refine program targets
- help review and refine the RAIN Theory of Change
- identify anticipated challenges that may occur during project implementation
- provide actionable recommendations to project design and implementation
- verify and/or acquire data for indicators that are unavailable or outdated
