Project Component The project has four closely inter-related components: (i) Improved access to innovation practices on rice and livestock raising, and vegetable gardening (ii) Improve access to organic market (iii) Improve awareness on Safety Food product, and (iv) Project Coordination and Management. Improved access to innovation practices • Forming 2 Role Model Farmer Cooperatives • Setting up organic farm learning/treatment center for organic rice production and chicken raising • Setting up learning/treatment center for organic vegetable production • Scaling up best innovation practices for organic farm through learning route modality with local and Thai (and Vietnamese) farmers or learning center. Improve access to organic market • Certification of the safety agriculture goods • Marketing: packaging and branding • Sale points Improve awareness on Safety Food product • Media broadcasting • Farmer training Project Coordination and Management • Project Innovative Team • The management of the project, including software, hardware, M&E and Support, and policy dialogue, is hosted by PADEE for 6 years Budget • Improved access to innovation practices : US$55,000 (100,000 from PADEE + US$5,000 from partnership with IFAD regional programme “PROCARSUR or APMAS?”) • Improve access to organic market : US$30,000 from PADEE • Improve awareness on Safety Food product : US$20,000 from PADEE • Project Coordination and Management Total: US$105,000 for 3 years Visualization Premium Market Organic Farm Clinic Logical Framework Results hierarchy Indicators Help PADEE in achieving its impact through innovation practices 70% of HH participate Main impact study in the project budgeted under increase their value PADEE of household assets on average by 25% PADEE not project at risk Improved access to innovation practices •Access to organic best practices in the region •70% of participated farmer adopt technology •Self reliance of the learning center 3 year after the project completion •Annual Outcome survey under PADEE •Political Partnership Stability with Thailand and Vietnam •No major natural or man-made disasters Organic farm product gain 20% of market share.
