This is Mario Pareja, again, replying to two messages, one from A. Bonou (No. 81) and the following one from Dr. Yapi (No. 91).

I am in full agreement with Dr. Yapi in all the points that he makes regarding the "results chain" and time lags. Moreover, to evaluate the impact of a flooding falls outside the "results chain of impacts from ag-R&D&I". Since I have quite a bit of experience in disaster management (I worked for CARE for several years), mainly on the issues of environment in disasters, I recommend that you, A. Bonou, visit the group M&E for Development Professionals in LinkedIn. There you will find interesting discussions going on about monitoring disaster impacts on livelihoods and the like.
