What should we measure next?
Pilot outcome indicators — to be measured
Productivity
- Milk yield per cow
- Feed efficiency
Quality
- Milk rejected or lost
- Milk hygiene compliance
Business
- Farm records adoption
- Gross margin / income proxy
Climate
- Climate-smart practices adopted
- Estimated emissions intensity
What would the pilot prove?
Learning
Did participants engage with and complete the development activities?
- Completion
- Participation
- Assessment
Capability
Can participants demonstrate the required competency?
- Baseline proficiency
- Validated proficiency
- Skills gap closed
Impact
Did improved capability change farm practice and performance?
- Milk productivity
- Post-harvest loss
- Digital record adoption
- Climate-smart practice adoption
- Income proxy
- Estimated emissions intensity
Measurement rhythm
Baseline → Development → Validation → Follow-up
Suggested follow-up at 3 months and 6 months.
Cross-cutting principles
- Gender inclusion
- Youth participation
- Decent work
- Cooperative participation
- Safe working practices
- Environmental sustainability
- Digital inclusion
The difference
Traditional training asks: what training did people complete?
The Sustainability Skills Accelerator asks: what capability is required, where is the gap, what development can close it, can the person demonstrate it, and did it change outcomes?
