Summary

Description

Baseline survey for impact evaluation of MCC's farmer training investments in Armenia. MCC program's goal in Armenia is to reduce rural poverty through better economic performance in the agricultural sector by improving irrigation infrastructure and training farmers. To evaluate the impact of the farmer training on on-farm water management and high value agriculture, MCC and its evaluation partners developed the Farming Practices Survey. The baseline survey was completed by Jen Consult/AREG NGO in late 2007 and early 2008, with a sample of approximately 5,000 farming households in 350 communities across Armenia.
