The project will also monitor the impact and value for money of this resilience support to inform potential future scale-up plans. The project will take place in the financial years 19-20 and 20-21 due to delays and will be monitored and evaluated on a Âreal-timeÂ basis and the results will feed in to consideration of a scale-up of the support from 2020 onwards. The initial stage of the project will provide evidence on the benefits of government-funded interventions to farmers, whether this adds anything to services already being provided by other sources and whether we have provided the right type of support needed.
