I’m Amadou Issaka, holding a PhD in Agriculture, with over 20 years experiences in Agriculture education, Natural Resource Management & Poverty Reduction. I have specific experience over 12 years in Monitoring & Evaluation within various institutions (including but not limited to - African Development Bank, World Bank, UNDP, African Union, European Union, etc…). In the past I monitored projects in water resources, animal production as well as Agriculture Education. I’m currently working with the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA Ibadan-Nigeria) as M&E specialist to implement a five-years R&D Project aiming at strengthening African countries to improve four strategic crops in Africa (Maize, Cassava, Rice and Wheat). 



I’m very much excited to learn more about Impact assessment in Agriculture, specially how to measure our Agriculture Research at small household level which seems beyond our control. 



Thanks to Ekanath Khatiwada (Message 2) for raising this important issue. I have similar concern as we are currently running a five-year R&D project. This project aims at developing new agricultural technologies (new crop varieties, best-fit crop management options) to increase household cash incomes and household food security. As you know incomes and food security are multidimensional, and may require to look beyond what the project is supposed to achieve. So my question is how to make sure we making impact and how to measure it ?
