Improved Post-Harvest Storage Practices

Outcome

Number of beneficiary households using improved post-harvest storage practices

This indicator measures the number of households using improved post-harvest storage technologies, including hermetic storage and other technologies that enhance the performance of existing storage systems.

Method: Beneficiary-based survey or routine monitoring

Source: Questionnaire, monitoring checklist/form

Who Collects: Implementing partner staff or enumerators

From Whom: beneficiary households

Frequency of Collection: Data will be collected on an ongoing basis and endline.  

Frequency of Reporting: Data will be reported in the semi-annual, annual, and final performance reports.

Baseline Value Information: Baseline values will be zero.

Unit of Measure: Number of households  

Calculation: This is a count of households using improved post-harvest storage technologies attributable to BHA funding under the reporting period.

How to Count Life of Award (LOA): LOA values are the reported values at the end of the award, counting only the unique number of households, without double-counting, that used improved post-harvest storage practices. Or LOA values will be generated from the endline survey.  

Direction of Change: + (more is better).

Disaggregation: Household Type

Household Type categories:

• Adult Female and Adult Male (F&M)

• Adult Female, No Adult Male (FNM)

• Adult Male, No Adult Female (MNF)

• Child, No Adult (CNA)

Hermetic storage technologies include PICS bags/silos and post-harvest technologies that enhance the performance of existing storage technologies, such as grain grading devices and moisture testers.      

This is a BHA/USAID indicator (A04).
