Lesson Learned

Climate change, seasonality and the particularities of microclimates make attribution difficult: In agriculture interventions without adequate comparison groups, it’s hard to understand the attributable impacts of program investments, as was the case with this evaluation, where significant drought in follow up years further complicated the ability to understand the program’s impact.

MCC is addressing this lesson by investing in measurement innovations such as piloting remote sensing for measuring land use and agricultural production.
