For
RIMS Mid-Term and Annual Outcome Survey in High Value Agriculture Project in Hill and Mountain Areas
(HVAP)
Background and Rationale
High Value Agriculture Project in Hill and Mountain Areas (HVAP) is a market led initiative that seeks to provide
improved income and employment opportunities to poor small holder farmers, landless and agribusiness through
development and upgrading of inclusive value chains in Mid and Far Western Region of the country. The project is
executed by Ministry of Agricultural Development (MoAD) with financial support from International Fund for
Agricultural Development (IFAD). The Netherlands Development Organization (SNV) and Agro Enterprise Centre
(AEC) are the implementing partners of the project. The project is being implemented in seven districts as Surkhet,
Salyan, Jajarkot, Dailekh, Achham, Kalikot and Jumla served by three north-south road corridors: ChhinchuJajarkot, Surkhet-Dailekh and Surkhet-Jumla roads.
Relying on value chain development and inclusive business approach, the project has been facilitating mutually
beneficial and profitable marketing arrangements between the buyers (Agribusiness) and suppliers (Producers
organizations) of high value agriculture and NTFP/MAPs value chains including support services and enabling
environment development that promotes value chain growth and up-scaling.
HVAP has been providing grants as co-investment to groups /cooperatives and agribusinesses for implementing
value chain development activities addressing constraints and capturing opportunities in seven value chains as
apple, vegetable seed, timur, off-season vegetables, ginger, turmeric and goat for their upgrading and
development. Prior to its implementation, the project has established baselines covering socio-economic and
demographic conditions, food security, nutrition, assets ownership, and value chain indicators including
production, margins, value addition, (primary) processing, and market arrangements inter alia.
So far, the project has directly supported a total of 194 producer groups/cooperatives and 5 agri-businesses till the
last fiscal year 2070/71 through co-investments benefitting around 6646 households under seven value chains in
seven districts. The project has been collecting quantitative data of the outputs and outcomes and is being fed into
the HVAP Information Management System (MIS) regularly.
HVAP has considered outcome monitoring, as one of the important Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) activities to
assess the outcomes of the project and review the approaches both quantitatively and qualitatively. Thus, the
project has planned to carry out the outcome survey on annual basis in all value chains with the aim to assess the
progress at outputs and outcomes against the project interventions during the project period. The projects also
foresee that the outcome survey results will guide the project to review the implementation strategy and revisit if
needed to achieve the expected results.
The HVAP has established baseline on 2nd level (outcome) and 3rd level (Impact) results of Result and Impact
Management System (RIMS), IFAD in Fiscal Year 2012/13. In every three years the project has to carry out RIMS
survey like mid-term survey to measure the progress on RIMS indicators which cannot cover in annual outcome
survey. So, the project is going to carry out combined survey (RIMS survey and Outcome survey) during the end of
this fiscal year 2014/15.
Hence, this TOR has been developed to facilitate interested consultant (s) or firms to submit the Expression of
Interests (EOI) and the proposals to carry out the annual outcome survey in the project districts. The study is
expected to review the progress achieved so far, as against the established baseline for RIMS indicators, value
chain specific indicators and socio-economic indicators (outcome).

Objectives of the Survey
The overall purpose of this study is to assess the annual achievement and RIMS mid-term achievement in
respective seven value chains against the project interventions and provide quantitative and qualitative
interpretations on specific indicators as reflected in the project M & E matrix and provide suggestions to the
project to improve project’s supports to get the targeted outcomes (Project and RIMS) during the project
implementation. More specifically, the study strives to achieve the following objectives:

To measure the positive and/or negative changes/outcomes taking place on relevant indicators at the
household/group/cooperative/agribusiness level;

To measure RIMS 2nd and 3rd level results at group/cooperative and household level;

To provide timely performance information so that corrective actions may be taken to implement the
project activities, if required;

To provide early evidence of project success or failure.
The project indicators (M&E Matrix) is given in Annex-I.
Expected Output
The consultant (s) is expected to furnish a comprehensive and analytical outcome survey report that is sufficiently
disaggregated on caste, ethnicity, gender, and economic status of the anticipated beneficiaries and specific value
chains by comparing with baseline and control. The survey report should be able to report on the indicators as set
out into the project M & E matrix and results chains. In addition to electronic and hard copies of final report,
consultant (s) is expected to submit with clean data electronically. The consultant (s) will work with close
consultation of M&E team of the HVAP.
Survey Methodology
The study will make use of qualitative and quantitative methods to obtain required information to review the
progress and implementation of the project. A combination of but not limiting to (sample) household surveys, key
informant interviews, and focus group discussion is required. The study will cover all the information based on the
outcome and impact indicators of the project which are already designed in project M&E matrix. The study will
make use of following steps:
1. Research Design:
The design team has to develop ready-to-use survey instruments capturing progress against the specific indicators
at output and outcome level. The pre-test also need to carry out during the orientation program to enumerators.
Systematic Random Sampling Technique will be used for selection of group/cooperative from the lists of the total
groups/cooperatives supported by the project. The survey is designed to cover a sample of around 900
households: 30 households from each group/cooperatives that will select randomly for RIMS survey. Similarly, 260
HVAP/M&E/Outcome Monitoring/Krishna
2
households (the treatment group) will be selected from same groups/cooperatives for outcome survey where 260
households will be selected from another groups/cooperative within the periphery of project groups’ which are
not project beneficiaries (the control group). The list of the groups and cooperative is given in Annex-II.
The project has to conduct a number of in-depth interviews and group discussions to supplement the quantitative
survey and to obtain insights in the development and implementation of the project. The consultant (s) has to follow
the following study methods:
1. Desk Study: Information on broader socio-economic, market, and livelihoods indicators be established
through the desk study of M&E Matrix, Value chain analysis reports, baseline study reports (RIMS and
Project), value chain intervention strategies and action plans, gender and social inclusion strategies and
action plans, and other related project documents.
2.
Households Survey: At least 900 households should be surveyed for RIMS indicators and 260 households’
from project groups and 260 households’ survey from control groups should be surveyed for annual
outcome survey. The total sample households will be reached to 1420.
3.
Focus Group Discussion: At least one focus group discussion per group and cooperative is advised. The
focus group discussion should be able to verify the information collected through the HH surveys and
report on indicators that can’t be done through household surveys and to cover RIMS 2nd level
information.
4.
Group/Cooperative/Trader Interview: At least one cooperative/group/trader should be interviewed in
each production village/clusters that will help report on institutional aspects of agriculture production and
marketing in the districts.
5.
Traders Survey: Using the traders’ survey interview schedule, key traders involved in value chains should
be interviewed.
6.
Service Provider Mapping and Interview: Key private and public service providers to be mapped and
interviewed. The study should be able to describe performance of service providers, service offered and
their outreach.
7.
Key Informants: Key informants should be used to collect the information from the key person (FNCCI,
DCCI, RDs, MoAD, Line agencies etc) who knows the project.
8.
Data Analysis and Reporting: At the end, an analytical report is expected. Hence, the study should make
use of proven data collection and analysis tools and techniques to obtain during the survey and analysis.
The data analysis should be done by using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) tool for annual
outcome survey. The separate tool as prescribed by IFAD should be used for RIMS data analysis. The
report should make use of pictures, graphs, diagrams, narrative analysis, and other inferential statements
that sufficiently extrapolate the prevailing performance of selected indicators against the baseline.

Sampling method:
As discussed above, the survey team needs to draw a sample that consists of 900 households in project area for
RIMS survey. Then, 260 households would be selected from the same project groups which are selected for RIMS
survey for outcome survey and 260 other households would be selected from non-project areas or groups
separately. The survey team will use the mutli-stage cluster random sampling to select the sample. In the first
stage the team will select groups, and then select the households randomly. The sampling steps are given below in
details.
2.1 Sampling procedure for the treatment group
As discussed, the selection of the sample will be done in two stages: (1) selection of 30 groups/cooperatives; and
(2) selection of 30 households in each group/cooperative for RIMS survey, if there is no availability of 30 sample
households in one group/cooperative, the additional households will be sampled from periphery of project
invested group/cooperative. Likewise, 26 groups/cooperatives out of 30 groups/cooperatives and 10 households
will be sampled from each group/cooperative for outcome survey. The sample will be selected minimum 30
benefited households from respective value chain for outcome survey.
Selection of 30 groups/cooperatives through stratified random sampling
The distribution of the groups/cooperatives is given in Annex-II, 30 groups/cooperatives to be selected from the
list of groups and cooperatives in all value chains as proportionately representation from each value chain. Once
the project stratified the groups/cooperatives, the random sampling procedure will be applied to select the sample
households from each stratum of poverty. As discussed above, 900 (RIMS-900 and Outcome-260 out of 900)
households will be selected by applying random sample method from the 30 selected groups/cooperatives. And
again 260 households will be selected from out of 900 for outcome survey.
2.2 Sampling procedure for the control group
For the control group, 26 groups/cooperatives will be selected as control groups within the periphery of the
treatment groups. Then a sample of 260 households, 10 households from each group will be selected for survey.
