This document summarizes a workshop on using Google Drive for project monitoring and management. It discusses how Google Drive can be used to upload and share documents between staff, jointly edit documents, and serve as a document database. The document also includes a logical framework for a project aiming to enhance soybean and cowpea value chains in East and Central Africa. The project's goal is to contribute to sustainable household food security and income through developing these value chains. Objectives include increasing food security, productivity, marketing, research, and project management. Indicators and assumptions are provided for measuring and ensuring achievement of the objectives.

2. Google Drive
Used as tool for project monitoring

3. How do we use it
• Upload documents for sharing to specific
folders
• Jointly work on documents
• As a databank for documents
• Accessible to all staff

4. Logical frame
Title:
Enhancing Soybean and Cowpea Value chains for increased
productivity incomes and Nutritional Security of small holder
farmers in East and Central Africa

5. Intervention logic
Objectively verifiable indicators of
achievement
Sources and means of
verification Assumptions
Goal
Contribute to sustainable household food security and income in the ECA region through the development of soybean
and cowpea Value chains
Overall
objectives
1.Food security
Promote increased household
food security through the
production of Soybean and
cowpea.
Household Food security
increased by 30% through
increased production and
consumption of soybean and
cowpea
Sources:Baseline report,
Uganda Bureau of Statistics,
Health survey,national data,
Research from university, FAO
database, Means:impact
assessment reports and end of
project report.
Favourable climate, no major
economic and natural shocks,
Farmers will be willing to adopt
better GAP. Peace and Political
stability, No major climatic
changes.
2. Productivity
To increase productivity of
soybean and cowpea in the
ECA region
Soybean and cowpea
productivity increased to 50% in
yield levels per hectare by
2015- (production levels are
currently half a tonne in the
soybean & cowpea production
areas in Uganda: source…)
Sources:National agric survey
& Agricultural Research report.
Means: On farm reports,
research reports
Farmers practice appropriate.
agronomical practices, done on
time, Climate will be favourable,
farmers have resources to get
inputs
3.Markets
To enhance marketing of
soybean and cowpea in the
ECA region
Marketing of soybean and
cowpea increased by 30%
Ministries, Export promotion
Board, Network with USOPA,
district commercial offices,
Baseline survey
Stable economy,Demand for the
crop will be there,Price
Fluctuations.
4.Research and extension
Conduct research and identify
innovative solutions to
strengthen value chains.
Increased research
engagement and use of
information to strengthen Value
Chains of Soybean and cowpea
Baseline survey,Research
reports, activity report
Conducsive environment,critical
areas identified from the
baseline for research from
stakeholders along the chain
