AgResults Evaluation Design: Uganda Legume Seed Pilot

Abstract

This report presents plans for a mixed-methods evaluation of the AgResults legume seed pilot, which aims to increase the production and sale of improved common bean and soybean seed in Uganda. The pilot focuses on seed companies, offering them ex-post prizes for increasing the quantity of improved (and quality-verified) legume seed they sell each year for five years. The evaluation approach is designed to test the assumptions underlying the theory of change for the AgResults legume seed pilot and determine if the pull mechanisms achieve their objectives
