Context: Bringing This diagram brings a few key concepts together into one diagram place to help describe this project to various stakeholders. While not technically a “logframe,” this combines the high-level, ten year Outcome we are aiming along with 3 project level objectives, the key indicators we are tracking and the 5 major epics or workstreams under which all the project activities fall.

Goals
...
[By 2031] Bihar reduces emissions from agriculture by 15-25% (relative to 2020 baseline) without compromising yield / productivity, through adoption of sustainable and agroecological practices by small scale producers (SSPs)
...
Yield scaled emissions from agricultural activities
...
To be developed
Credible verification / quantification
Requires government support and farmer incentives
...
Outcomes
[Spring 2023] 50,000 farmers adopt practices which reduce 10,000 tons of CO2e
Share practice/emission data + analysis with policymakers to inform state climate action plans
Farmers leverage data wallet to connect with buyers
# of farmers adopting practices
Tons of CO2e reduced relative to baseline
JEEViKA MIS and DG MRV tool
Model outputs
Lack of farmer value proposition to adopt practices with lower emission footprint
Farmers inundated with messages, sometimes conflicting + risk aversion to changing practices
High uncertainty about emission impact from practices
Commodity buyers may not source from participating farmers
...
Output
[Spring 2023] Deliver evidence-backed, locally relevant climate-smart production practices to +200,000 smallholder farmers
Generate emission estimates from three models: ~1,600 farmers by Spring 2022 and ~12,000 farmers by Spring 2023
Deliver a “data wallet” through which farmers can grant consent to share activity data + emission estimates
# of farmers reached
Tons of CO2e generated

CENTURY
Need institutional support from JEEViKA to scale up program beyond pilot location (Gurua block, Gaya)
Climate models are not calibrated for India
Technology adoption among farmers of a data sharing tool
Alignment between technical advisors and JEEVIKA on what practices to promote; ability to influence what practices are promoted
...
Activities
Identify practices suited to local conditions that reduce yield scale emissions
Build a mobile data collection tool and verification / QC process
# of localized climate smart advisories developed
Data collection tool + process tested during Fall 2021
...
DG MRV Tool
Incentives for VRPs to record accurate data
Technology adoption risks for VRPs
Adverse weather events
