Clearly define program participants. For any intervention, MCC and country counterparts must work toward having clearly defined program participants and eligibility criteria when necessary.

These two criteria, although somewhat complementary, still resulted in challenges for replicating farmer selection for the purpose of a rigorous impact evaluation.
