In monitoring, the farmer-partners will fill-out a monthly monitoring form to establish data/information on goat inventory, productive and reproductive performance, health practices, marketing practices, technology adoption, and economic data of the farm for the month. A participatory resource appraisal-focus group discussion (PRA-FGD) was conducted with the farmers to validate the results of the survey and determine the problem-technologyresource match. Data analysis Analysis of data was carried out by comparing the performance of adopters and non-adopters. Data on monthly body weight of animals and mortality rate were analyzed by t-test to compare the performance of animals raised between the adopters and non-adopters. Likewise, economic benefits/feasibility will be determined using the “before and after” approach, with due consideration of the time dimension. Other data will be subjected to statistical analysis (to be determined by the different project implementers). A partial budget analysis will also be done to determine the incremental benefits and costs from adopting the introduced production systems. Implementing strategy for the project’s success and sustainability The project is being managed by a Project Management Team (PMT), chaired by the Program Leader of DA-RFU 8 in cooperation with a network of partners from DA-RFU I, Isabela State University (ISU) in Region 2, and Central Luzon State University (CLSU) in Region 3. It is being implemented by the Project Working Group (PWG) in farmers’ fields where farmers themselves play an active role in decision-making and implementation of project activities. The final set of roles and responsibilities were firmed up during the inception meeting-workshop for the project. As linkaging were done, linkages that will enhance complementation and cooperation among different institutions were established and promoted. A strong partnership among the local institutions and the project implementers will be initiated. Multi-level linkage will be established starting from the barangay level up to the municipal, provincial, and regional levels. Linkages with R&D institutions, financial institutions, other government support agencies, and non-governmental organizations will also be established and strengthened. The linkages and partnership with various key players for development are deemed necessary to ensure the following: Support and legitimization of the project; Provide technical and support services; Provide technical and support services; Facilitate information dissemination and exchange; Smooth monitoring of project activities; and Sustainability of the project. Timely information dissemination system were likewise developed by the project management team in cooperation with its partners. Similar to the ILRI-IFAD and CASREN projects, farmer-partners will be tapped in the promotion of technology mixes and other relevant information to other farmers in the community.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION Characterization of Project Sites, Farm Households and Farmer-partners The project focal and control sites (Echague and Alicia Isabela, respectively; (Figure 3), farm households (30) and farmer partners (20) were characterized using structured questionnaires, key informants interview, and participatory planning and diagnosis. Secondary data were also used in site characterization. Focus group discussion (FGD) was also done to enhance the data gathered. The baseline information focused on the biophysical, socio-economic, and institutional characteristics useful in future impact assessment; in identifying constraints, and defining researchable issues and project interventions.
