More Income Generated for Poor Families in Indonesia (MORINGA) aimed to increase the income of 4,000 families in four provinces in eastern Indonesia: East Nusa Tenggara, Central Sulawesi, West Sulawesi, and North Moluccas.
This end-of-programme evaluation examines the effectiveness of MORINGA's impact on participants and on the market system - and how programme resources were spent to bring about sustainable, inclusive change.
The programme used the inclusive market systems development (iMSD) hybrid approach involving a market-focussed and household-focused approach (designed to promote inclusion, joint production and financial management).
Intervention description
The MORINGA programme aimed to develop a network of agribusiness partners at district, provincial, and national levels to increase the income of 4,000 families by 2022.
It introduced interventions across five value chains: pili nut, moringa, paddy rice, horticulture and maize. Specific activities included training farmers in good agricultural practices, providing Gender Inclusive Financial Literacy Training, and promoting inclusive business models.
The programme partnered with private sector organisations such as PT Timurasa and PT Syngenta, which introduced new business models and facilitated market access. By February 2022, the programme had exceeded its target, increasing the income of 9,640 farm households.
The interventions were well-received, with partners adopting and investing in the promoted models. For example, PT Timurasa expanded its pili nut market and engaged local governments to support tree conservation efforts.
Evidence methodology
The evaluation used a mixed methods research approach. Quantitative data were gathered from the project's database, previous impact assessments, and the Indicator Tracking Table. Qualitative data were collected through primary data collection methods, including 22 focus group discussions, in-depth interviews with farmers (including those with disabilities), and key informant interviews with more than 60 market actors.
The evaluation team reviewed 46 project documents and used stratified purposive sampling to ensure diverse views were represented. Data validation was performed with the MORINGA team and key stakeholders.
