Understanding and demonstrating impact
PlantwisePlus is committed to delivering tangible, lasting impact for smallholder farming communities around the world by focusing on scalable, sustainable, and innovative solutions.
We apply a rigorous Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) approach to ensure that our work is effective and evidence-based. This enables us to assess outcomes, improve efficiency, and learn how to maximize our impact on farmers and food systems.
Our MEL team works in close collaboration with CABI’s biological and social scientists, national partners, and country implementation teams to measure progress against defined indicators and targets across all programme levels.
Read data-driven and personal stories from the field that demonstrate how PlantwisePlus is strengthening plant health systems and improving food security through sustainable crop production.
