EFICAS Know-How Series Community-based Agricultural Development Planning (CADP)

This manual aims to provide to field practitioners basic information and tips on how to plan, implement, and monitor a Community-based Agricultural Development Plan (CADPs). A CADP is an action plan: 1) that engages the whole village over several years, 2) that is negotiated and implemented by the village community and district extension agents together, 3) that (hopefully) receives the support of multiple partners/projects for implementation, and 4) that provide clear indicators to monitoring implementation and impacts. This is an adaptive learning process in which the planning, implementation and monitoring activities are highly inter-related
