ice farmers and individuals receiving training) were new indicators and did not have targets set in the operational plan. The remaining two (i.e., area under FDP technology and number of farmers adopting the technology) apply to the Aman crop and will be reported in the next quarter. Nine custom indicators were established (under the CA) for the AAPI project . In this quarter, targets were either achieved or exceeded in four of the indicators. Progress was below target in five of the results indicators. The failures arose from the failure of the Aus crop due to drought. While this affected all production data, it is important to note that the farmers’ use of Guti urea and FDP did result in a positive impact on yields and reduced fertilizer use, even though the target achievement. Details are shown in the following table. Full explanations are provided in the main text.

Highlights of Project Activities The AAPI Scale-Up program required implementation of 16 activities during the quarter. The targets were met (or exceeded) in 15 activities. Trials have been reduced to allow a multidimensional approach that will address area specific technical issues. The variety and design of trials will require more work; it will result in more information to facilitate the advance of FDP technology.

A 20 percent women participation rate is considered the minimum requirement; seasonal workplans have gradually raised targets (i.e., first to 25 percent then 30 percent and in the coming Boro season it has been set as 50 percent), with targets of 50-100 percent set for activities associated with vegetable production and home gardens. The AAPI strategy aims to generate family and community acceptance of women’s participation in agriculture. To ensure women participation in AAPI project activities, the following initiatives have been taken, and the impacts are visual: � AAPI increases women participation through informal meetings with the community men and women – AAPI is using community meetings with men and women to break x
