CARE Southern Africa FNS & CCR Impact Growth Strategy IMPACT & REACH May 2018, MEAL Training, Moshi

Reach vs. Impact What is the difference?

Where impact data comes from? Impacts & Outcome data External evaluations Solid project MIS Qualitative & quantitative data from program teams PIIRS forms REACH (annual) IMPACT (throughout year) AIIR Tool (after influencing success) Revision & compilation Checking data consistency & validity (vs. evaluation) Q&A with COs Adding to data from FY16 (cumulative) Corrections/adjustments by CO teams, if necessary

Reach & Impact

Impacts by area – Food & Nutrition Security Food security indicators used: Household Hunger Scale Minimal Acceptable Diet Food Consumption Score HH with at least 9 months of food from own production HH having one meal a day

Impacts by area – FNS & resilience Resilience indicators used: HH carrying out disaster risk reduction actions Adoption of improved resilient agriculture practices Knowledge of interventions to increase resilience, or adapt to climate change Use of savings to cope with shocks

Impacts by area – Women’s Empowerment Informal financial inclusion has gone up particularly, as we’re using Access Africa data collection figures, rather than only projects reporting through PIIRS – so is more complete in FY17

Impacts by area – Humanitarian & Governance

Disaggregation by sex Other indicators are 100% women (financial inclusion, HH $ decision-making)

Impact by Country and Role We will only reach our 10m target through Multiplying Impact, not projects alone

Advocacy and Influencing Impact Reporting (AIIR) Tool The AIIR Tool broadly looks at: Success What is the advocacy/influencing success? Why is it important? Contribution Describe CARE’s contribution and any evidence Potential impact/reach What is the impact population that is expected to benefit from this win? Actual impact/ reach Do we have any evidence that these expected outcome have been achieved? Can it be quantified? Reflection and Learning Main challenges, effective/ineffective tactics, and next steps November 3, 2019

Madagascar Example Success - Madagascar: influencing policy and practice on Disaster Risk Reduction Potential Impact/Reach: CARE’s DRR programs reached more than 670,000 people, and Government & NGOs applying these tools reached a further 1.2m. Actual Impact/Reach: CARE Madagascar’s DRR programs have indirectly contributed to increased resilience for a further 756,000 people. Contribution: High contribution. CARE Madagascar considered one of the pioneers of DRR in Madagascar. CARE's advocacy at all levels was also critical to help the National Office of the DRR in Madagascar convince stakeholders to revise the national DRR policy. Reflection and Learning: The main challenges faced include limited central Government allocations to date for DRR funding for local authorities, and the initial reluctance of other organizations to replicate or adapt CARE’s DRR approaches. Other examples: Completed AIIR forms, Peru Example Pulling from the AIIR tool (multiplying impact tool). This is what we should be doing internally to the determine if we need to do further investigation.

Ways to Multiply Impact in Southern Africa Types of change that CARE & partners have influenced: Spontaneous replication of successful experiences Policy or strategy development Policy implementation & resourcing Adoption of proven tools & approaches Design & implementation of programs New/revised international agreements Changing harmful social norms Other Tanzania - land policy Tanzania – WWF alliance (budget for CSA) Zimbabwe – ENSURE (gender tools) Mozambique – PACT (improved resettlement plan) COP23 – UNFCC (agriculture workplan) Zimbabwe – ECRAS (hybrid forecasts) Madagascar - DRR Malawi – VSLAs Madagascar – VSLAs For COP23, 7 steps before impact: Getting countries to agree that this new joint work in agriculture should produce guidance re: what ag/climate work should look like UNFCCC joint work produces guidance We influence that so it is responsive to small-scale farmers Ag/cc finance/initiatives/donors take that guidance into account National governments integrate it into policies/programs Those programs are actually implemented Data from national statistics/programs shows positive impacts on FNS & CCR for small-scale farmers, particularly women). But, it is fine that there's such a long line-of-sight between our advocacy and the ultimate impact: it is how the world works, but also we know there is huge potential scale if it happens! Zambia - SCALE Zambia - SCALE (VSLAs in WB/GoZ program) So that: Positive impacts will be increased Negative impacts will be reduced Path will be set for future influencing That can be measured: From available evidence and statistics Based on projections from existing evidence In the future, as available statistics are updated If we had resources for further study Possibly in the future Unfortunately, very unlikely Too early to project Other

From Influence to Impact How many people have improved their FNS, & how? 1. Has a significant influencing win occurred? 2. Was CARE's contribution significant? 3. Is there reasonable evidence to show that CARE contributed to the win? 4. Is the change actually being implemented? 5. Is there evidence to show the impact that is occurring? Tanzania - land policy (not yet passed) IMPACT COP23 – UNFCC (joint work on agriculture not yet begun) Tanzania – WWF alliance (budget for CSA is for FY18/19) Malawi – VSLA (Indicator 16: TBC) Madagascar - DRR (Indicator 21: 756,000) Mozambique – PACT (resettlement plan not yet implemented) Zimbabwe – ECRAS (Indicator 21: 4,900) Zambia - SCALE (no #s yet on GEWEL project site) Madagascar – VSLA (no #s yet, beyond CARE) Zimbabwe – ENSURE (no #s [yet?] on impact of application of gender tools by GoZ/USAID partners)

Emerging Lessons re Multiplying Impact Use field visits & participant testimonies to persuade Combine strategies (advocacy, technical support, evidence building, convening alliances, etc.) Co-develop approaches with Goverment, to build ownership Long-term, persistent involvement I will work more on this slide

Recommendations and requests GENDER!!! Hubs to draw out learning and recommendations from relevant successes (e.g. Madagascar nutrition) Keep documenting your Multiplying Impact successes Submit impact forms throughout the year - Mozambique NACC, and Madagascar (3) Review your country data, for any omissions, errors, or double-counting – PowerBi
