Agricultural Survey [ag/oth]
The Agricultural Sector Development Programme–Livestock (ASDP-L) and the Agricultural Services Support Programme (ASSP) were implemented in Zanzibar to contribute to the government’s efforts to increase agricultural productivity and profitability, generate employment in rural areas, and ensure national and household food security. Both ASDP-L and ASSP were designed to develop agricultural production systems by empowering livestock keepers and farmers through capacity- building and training activities offered in the form of farmer field schools (FFSs).
Farmer field schools (FFS) are generally methods of training or education aimed at assisting farmers to learn informally, in their own environment and in a participatory format (FAO, 2001). A typical FFS usually consists of 15-20 members with a shared common interest in learning about ways to improve their agricultural practices

Sampling
The final data collection covered 2082 households (1050 beneficiary and 1032 control households) from 516 FFS in 108 shehias. The sampling methodology ensured a very robust determination of the counterfactual. The beneficiary farmers and control farmers were both randomly selected from the same shehias where the project was implemented.
No weighting.
Survey instrument
The impact assessment of ASDP-L and ASSP is based on a quantitative household survey conducted in 2018. The cross-sectional quantitative survey collected data from 2082 beneficiary and control households sampled using a quasi-experimental design. To inform the design and interpretation of the quantitative data, the impact assessment also drew information from a qualitative study conducted by the project staff as part of the project completion process, i.e. the Participatory Impact Assessment (PIA). The qualitative study was conducted for the purpose of understanding the impact of the programme at household, FFS group and community level, with a particular focus on farmers empowerment.
