Project Objective

1. To understand the extent to which the project has achieved its intended outcomes on specific cohorts.

Project Description

The AGROW project in Cambodia, led by Veterinarians Without Borders (VWB) with partners AVSF Cambodia and ADA, focuses on training women farmers in sustainable agriculture and livestock production to enhance financial and nutritional outcomes. Running from 2022 to December 15, 2024, the program targets climate-smart practices in cricket, chicken, cattle, and crop farming. It emphasizes One Health principles, addressing housing, breed selection, technology use, animal health, biosecurity, and waste management. The initiative aims to directly benefit 4,260 households and indirectly support an additional 46,775 people.

This impact evaluation aims to rigorously assess the impacts of informative cohorts of the program. The scope includes a thorough review of project implementation, definition of meaningful outcomes to be evaluated along with their conceptual framework, and the identification of impacts attributable to the project.
