Feed The Future Agricultural Indicators Guide

The purpose of this Guide is to present clear and understandable guidance that will ensure best practices in the definition, collection, and use of key agricultural indicators for the annual performance monitoring of agricultural development activities under the U.S. Government’s (USG’s) Feed the Future Initiative. 

The Guide provides clarifying information pertaining to, and examples of best practices for, the collection and use of key indicators to enable adherence to the highest possible technical standards by Feed the Future Implementing Partners (IPs). Recommendations are based on an understanding of the operational context and practical constraints facing Feed the Future IPs in their monitoring activities, as well as the specific requirements of the Feed the Future Monitoring System (FTFMS) and the need for greater consistency in data entered into the system, although data collection methods may vary.
