The Project
Development
Objective (PDO) is to:
Demonstrate more
effective watershed
management through
greater integration of
programs related to
rainfed agriculture,
innovative and science
based approaches, and
strengthened institutions
and capacities.
Importance?

At closure, Bank will gauge
project success against the
PDO using higher level and
several intermediate level
indicators

We need to ensure good
M&E system is in place to
deliver information on
these indicators on a
regular basis
Indicator One: New science based approaches
and tools adopted into wider watershed
operations (innovation)
 Indicator Two: Improved M&E capability in WDD
(strengthened institutions)
 Indicator Three: Incremental change in
agric/horticulture productivity in project areas
for selected crops (watershed management)
 Indicator Four: Percentage of micro-watersheds
with improved convergence and integration
(integration)
