Description of Programme
FeedbackRA is providing monitoring and evaluation support to the Lesotho Wool & Mohair Development Programme being funded by the Lesotho Treasury. The objectives of the programme focus on the improving of farming practices, state support services and infrastructure to farmers, and the development of a Wool and Mohair enterprise value chain, all in effort to significantly augment the contribution of the sector to the Lesotho economy.
The Assignment
The assignment began with a baseline study to confirm the current status of all the aspects of the sector in which the programme is designed to intervene. Findings set the baseline measures on recommended indicators against which programme performance will be monitored and ultimately assessed. The baseline study also recommends the monitoring and evaluation framework to be designed and implemented for the programme.
Methodology
Baseline study methodology included a wide ranging literature and documents review that included review analysis of secondary data; interviews with key informants to map the wool & mohair sector, including stakeholders, regulatory environment and business processes; and exploratory observational field work that included visits to remote sites within the mountain kingdom.
