I. Introduction
• Agricultural and rural household income
indicators:
• key indicators, among the economic indicators
• to monitor and evaluate the results of
development Policies
• Problems:
• Technical difficulties
• limited availability of data
• Investigation in African countries:
• real data availability
• some technical difficulties (less-than-ideal
conditions)

II. Indicators and Tools
• Core indicators are suggested at
international level for M&E in ARD
programmes in less-than-ideal conditions
(FAO at al.,2008)
• Subset of 19 indicators is considered
“priority”
• Extended menu of 86 indicators is a
reference list

Concluding remarks
• Calculate household income indicators for statistics is a
difficult task and international comparability with countries
at different levels of development, as it is in Africa, is more
complicate. Anyway statistical capability and data
availability is growing in most African countries that, with
an appropriate use of statistical tools, could regularly
produce income indicators. Even if only aggregated data
are available, a disaggregation at territorial level (for
example regions) combined with partial micro-data at
household/population level could be enough to produce
concentration indicators on income.
