The development objective of the Second Rural Development Program Project for Solomon Islands is to improve basic infrastructure and services in rural areas and to strengthen the linkages between smallholder farming households and markets. ... See More + This restructuring involves changes to the results framework. Specifically, the target values for three of the four project development objective (PDO) level indicators will be adjusted downwards to reflect the reduction in the numbers of: (a) community development grant (CDG) and disaster recovery grant (DRG) subprojects and their beneficiaries; (b) agribusiness partnerships and their beneficiaries; and (c) beneficiaries receiving agriculture and livestock support to recover incomes lost from April 2014 flooding. Furthermore, a PDO level indicator on increase in sales for farmers engaged in partnerships will be revised to increase in the volume of produce sold by households engaging in agricultural partnerships to better reflect the nature of partnerships and to avoid dependency on external factors, such as weather and markets. At the intermediate outcome level, (d) the target values will be adjusted downwards for five indicators; (e) three indicators will be revised; (f) a new indicator will be added; and (g) five indicators that do not adequately reflect the scope and nature of the project will be removed.  See Less -
