Series Information
The project commissioned two independent household surveys; the first one with field work in December 2009 / January 2010 and the other one at the end of the project in 2012.
Evaluating the Rural Capacity Building Project (RCBP) involves an examination of whether the capacity building of FTCs increased the use of extension services by women at the kebele, or neighborhood, level in both female-headed and male-headed households. To determine the effectiveness of the RCBP, this project explores female farmers' demand for extension advice and how it differs from male farmers' demand. Surveys asked women about their extension use and demand after the project had been implemented.
By analyzing baseline and endline surveys, a double-difference estimator can be used to assess the project's impact. Information on farmers' plots and livestock can be compared over time to determine the effectiveness of the project. Other information such as consumption, housing, and household assets can be analyzed over time to see the effect of the RCBP on any of these variables.

Abstract
The Rural Capacity Building Project was launched in 2006 by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MoARD) in order to strengthen the agricultural services and systems in Ethiopia to make them more responsive to clients' needs. The project includes five major components: Agricultural Technical and Vocational Education and Training, Agricultural Extension Services, improving information and communication systems within the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MoARD), and the development of agriculture market institutions. The project also seeks to improve women's participation in the extension system.
