F3 - Monitoring questionnaire to measure Community Gardens’ impact at household level
Slow Food Monitoring and Evaluation System
for the Gardens Project in Africa
Objective
This form has the purpose of capturing and measuring the results, or immediate changes, and the impacts, or longer-term changes, of Community Gardens on member households. Changes are assessed by comparing a few indicators of household’s conditions ‘before and after’ its participation in the Community Garden, based on household members’ memory.
This information will contribute learning and evidence to Slow Food and its partners about the contribution of the Gardens in Africa programme to the improvements of participants’ livelihoods.
How to select the Gardens and the households where to apply the F3 form
The form will be used during interviews to be carried out once per year in a number of ‘representative gardens’ and randomly selected households that are members of the selected gardens.
By ‘representative garden’ is intended a Community Garden that, according to your knowledge of the area, broadly represents all other Gardens in a given district/county/area, based on the crops grown in the gardens, the number of members, the agroecological practices used and the challenges faced in managing the garden. If possible, the F3 form should be applied in at least 30% of the Community Gardens in each country.
Once the ‘representative gardens’ have been identified, please select randomly 30% of the total number of households that are members of those gardens. An easy way to choose randomly is to get a complete list of the households, and select every third one. If the number of member households is below 10, please interview at least 3 households, that better represent all others in terms of number of household members and level of income. If possible, at least one of the selected households should have developed its own agroecological garden after becoming member of the Community Garden.
Every year different Gardens, and households, should be selected to apply the F3 form, unless otherwise requested by SFI.
Interview organization
Interviews should take place with the household member/s who is/are member/s of the Community Garden and if possible, with the Household Head. Please reassure participants that information will be used in a confidential manner. Experience so far indicates that each interview will approximately take 30 minutes.
Before each interview, the SF Gardens Coordinator or the Garden Manager will assign a code to the household (to be reported in Question 4 below), developed as follows: the Slow Food Garden Code, a progressive number for each household and the ongoing year (e.g., 16200/01/2023). The code will be used to allow maintaining confidentiality about the households when entering the data in the Confluence-based system.
