THE Kwara State Livestock Productivity and Resilience Support (L-PRES) Project has conducted a one-day step-down training for enumerators on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the training, which took place on Tuesday in Ilorin, was aimed at achieving the KPI development objectives.
The training was also a follow-up to the directive of the National Project Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist with six pioneer states.
The states had been conducting surveys on major indicators by administering questionnaires.
The State Project Monitoring and Evaluation Officer, Mrs Kudirat Zubair-Oyewo, identified some of the indicators to include carcass weights and milk yield.
Others are direct project beneficiaries disaggregated by sex, incidents of conflict based on percentages, aside other indicators as contained in the Project Appraisal Document.
Zubair-Oyewo said that the enumerators and the Good Animal Husbandry Practices trainees were expected to go to the project field and administer the questionnaire to know the impact so far made by the project.
She advised them to relate with the beneficiaries in the language they understand as most of them were not literate.
She further urged them to be unbiased to ensure accurate and verifiable data at the end of the exercise.
In a remark, a participant, Mrs Ganiyat Ajepe, described the training as an eye opener to performance indicators in livestock farming.
Ajepe, who is the Zonal Manager, Kwara State Agricultural Development Agency (KWADP), expressed her commitment to make the exercise a huge success.
The Assistant Chief Extension Officer at KWADP, Mr Issa Mohammed, said the training would equip the participants on how to take the database of beneficiaries of the L-PRES Project.
He also said that the database would indicate the level of their progress. (NAN)
