Impact measurement and global learning and networking.
Step 5 ensures that transformation is measured, understood, and shared globally. ASTA captures impact beyond project completion, generating evidence on what works, what lasts, and what can be scaled across countries and agrifood systems.
🔍 What Step 5 does
Too often, development experience is lost because lessons are not systematically documented, long-term sustainability is not assessed, successful innovations are not replicated and countries work in isolation, limiting learning and scale. Step 5 ensures that knowledge does not stay local or temporary; it transforms experience into global public goods – enabling continuous learning, better design of future interventions and faster scaling of successful systems solutions worldwide.
📚 Capture lessons during implementation. ASTA systematically documents experiences through:
- field insights and “learning stories”
- stakeholder feedback
- real-time implementation reflections.
📊 Measure long-term impact. An impact evaluation is conducted one-to two years after completion to assess:
- sustainability of results
- behavioural and system changes
- long-term value chain performance.
