Summary
The 6 month evaluation of the Bethzer Agricultural Extension sub-project is the conclusion of 6 months project activities to review project processes, and the impact towards the project objective. The goal of the project is to increase the level of students health that live at the dormitory. To achieve the goal of the project, we use agricultural extension to work with the dormers families. We are exploring plant farming and husbandry techniques to improve the income in the family, so than the parents will be able to send money to support their children living at dormitory. Further, education on nutrition and financial literacy is aimed at improving how students use their money and to develop good eating habits. The project has been partially successful. Despite a lengthy development process and the omission of a major project output, project activities have been largely implemented with some success. Nutrition has improved somewhat amongst students and the groundwork has been laid for a more effective implementation of the project activities, including the omitted financial literacy training. Next steps for the project include strengthening the project management, staff capacity and implementing the financial literacy training.
Evaluation Objective
The objective of the evaluation was to measure the impact of the project activities over the 12 months of operation for the purposes of deciding whether to establish the project activities as an ongoing strategy or trial other methods of achieving project goals.
Project Overview
The agricultural project was conceived as a response to the generally low level of health amongst students, particularly girls. The regular health complaints included ongoing stomach complaints, lack of energy, difficulty sleeping, stress and headaches. This combined with an obvious lack of variety and quantity of food suggested malnutrition. When investigated, students listed lack of time, lack of money and lack of awareness as barriers to sufficient nutrition. The project aimed to address those issues through education and strengthening of the family financial position. Project objectives and program logic can be found in Appendix 12. Activities include; Agricultural Extension program targeting diversification of crops and increased harvest yield Family education program on student nutrition Family education program on financial management Student education program on Nutrition Student education program on Financial management
Key Questions
The central evaluation question derived from the project framework is Was there an increase in the level of student health. Given the broad nature of the question, sub-questions have been posed as follows using program logic and listed indicators; 1. Were families able to contribute further to students wellbeing? a. Was there an increase in family income? b. Did students receive an increase in allowance? 2. Did student nutrition improve? a. Did students increase the amount of money spent on food? b. Did student understanding of health and nutrition improve?
6 Month Workshop As part of Project 6 months revaluation process and planning for the next coming 6 months, 4 nights workshops for dormers students were started on 28th to 31th June 2011. The participants are recorded in Appendix 1. A creative process was used that was intended to give thought for personal reflection and re-engagement with understanding from nutrition course and involvement with the projects. The outcome will be further investigated and train by individual interview with 3 member students. The participants included all dormitory students divided into large and small groups for a series of exercises. There were 6 groups for the small group exercises that contained5-6 participants. Large group exercises had 3 groups with 9-10 in the group. Individual nutritional interviews were performed for each student and the 5 project participants had individual interviews regarding the project. Interviews were held with participant families at their farm. The 3 nights of workshop had the follow objectives: To review and document the progress of the project over the last 6 months To think about what material that project use for dormers students out in practice To reflect on the activities have happened in the period of project To identify key directions and indicators of the project for the month ahead Project Officer Reports This method includes a review of project reports prepared by the project officer between February and July, including elements of a final SWOT analysis (Appendix 8). Compile a list of challenges, successes and chart the development of the project.
Conclusions vs Objectives
Participants are afraid to change their practices: 1 family of 3 agreed to plant rice using new techniques. Farmers are scared to try new things because they worry that they will lose their existing crops or have bad outcomes. Farmer did not follow up to all what we try to teach them, for example, they will say yes while you are there at the farm with them, but when we have left they do not do the work. Some small projects have failed for various reasons, Two term of mushroom failed for household 4 One piglet died for household 4 Cucumber did not give fruit for household 2 Some students dropped out in the middle of the project process. However students and their families were generally very happy with the project during the past 6 months and more students want to join the project. Some students have got a job and left the dormitory and the project. This has affected the data collection and long term benefits are not realized. Project staff fear creating jealousy amongst the farmers and some money will be lost in loans to farmers if they stop in the middle of the project. There are no current examples, but it is a potential risk.
In April the amount of allowance (money that the students receive from parents) goes down because they have two weeks off study to return home and generally do not receive an allowance. In June
families require funds to plant rice so the amount of money they have to send to their children is often less.
Conversely, interviews and group discussion with students indicate the definite perception that there was no change in allowance (Appendix 6). This may be because of the irregular nature of allowance payments in terms of frequency and quantity. A longer period of recording allowance payments and better explanations of what those figures should be representing will give a clearer answer to the question. The amount of income received through loans, work and other means compared to the expenses (Table 2)show that students are spending nearly all of their income each month and in some cases more than their income. Expenses significantly higher than other months usually indicate money expended for uni fees. The funds needed are obtained during the month of payment through loans or from parents.

The income figures in table 2 include loans. Comparing loans received with repayments shows that during the 6 month period, all the students borrowed between $100 and nearly $250 dollars, while repaying less than half that amount within the 6 month period. Project staff indicates that the data collected may not be accurate in recording all repayments, so further data collection would be necessary to gain a better understanding of the size of debt that students regularly take on.

Even though the amount of foods did not increase to meet the project requirement, but according to random interviews conducted informally, staff noted that students had changed food preparation behaviors. For Example, when cooking vegetables or meat they put little bit of fat or oil to absorb Vitamin A from the food and they add Vitamin C (Lime, tamarind, sour fruits) into cooking to absorb Iron from the Vegetable and meat. There was also the addition of iodine through dormitory purchased salt.
21/27 students interviewed said yes to having begun to put more money intofood. Half of those who said no could not afford to add more money to food, but claimed changed attitude to types of food purchased. 3 of 3 project students interviewed claimed that they were taking more care of nutrition and applying more money to food, although 1 student indicated that the amount of food had not differed greatly due to increases in food prices.
Results from the nutrition training show a marked increase in understanding by students participating. The 80 mark test was taken prior to the training returning an average of 20.4%, with a high of 40% and a low of 7.5%. After completion of the training, the average test results returned an average of 75.5% with the highest at 97.5% and the lowest at 56.5%. Overall, the average increase in understanding was by 50%. Disaggregated by gender (Table 5), the data shows over a 5% greater increase in test scores amongst girls than amongst boys. Table 6

Additional Conclusions
General Health of Students
Student health has long been a concern. Students receive a number of meals, including fruit, from dormitory and Bible Education Centre (BEC) activities every week, although students have been complaining of chronic health issues for a long period. Appendix 10 shows manager reports of sickness during the last 12 months. These reports only include sicknesses where dormitory funds were expended so does not give a comprehensive picture of student health. In interviews, students reported (Appendix 3) a variety of chronic complaints including stomach-aches, difficulty sleeping, tiredness, head-aches and powerlessness. Most claimed an improvement in these conditions post the nutritional training, although since it is debatable whether significant changes to nutrition took place as to what might be the cause of the change in perception. Generally, students BMI was between 18-25, with a few students just below. Appendix 3 shows BMI figures for participants.
General Impact
Overall the project is still on target to achieve its goals and indicators. Areas of impact include: Activities follow up on action plan of the project Nutrition course has contributed to better student understandings Students families farming options have improved and they get more income Project has educated students in skills that they can use in their lives and their family lives in the future Project workers have gained skills and experience to improve project outcomes.
Impact has been limited by all activities not being completed and not all indicators being able to be tested against. The initial project plan was not followed very closely initially, but progressively improvement in process and identification of issues developed the activities towards the original project plan and many of the original activities have been completed as planned. Reflection on the 6 months indicated improvement. This is the case with both the families and students. Poor family situations have changed since being involved in the project. Particularly, they have learnt new farming techniques, changed old farming habits, developed farming plans and have learnt to make small projects by themselves. Farmers have been working harder during non-peak periods than previously due to additional opportunities. Household improvements have resulted in family situation change (before they had spare land, but now they have vegetables and plants on the land). The mushroom project still continues in an education phase, pig projects are still ongoing and chicken projects have started showing improvement. Challenges have been
addressed including solving insect problems by changing crop planting, working on soil nutrition needs and the process of reflecting on outcomes with families. Particular highlights include the nutrition course; o Completion of nutrition course training to students: the course was followed up straight after staff training finished the teaching. Material that staff used was mainly copied from the course and included researching to support their study. The result from the course: Student have learn new thing from the course, Students changed daily mail preparing attitude, Daily food intake and financial expend of student have been considered. Student girls have been taking Iron tablets to restore red blood losing system, because girl need lots more Iron than boys.
Project Efficiency
During the project, there have been many activities. There were some difficulties and challenges and the project is well behind the time schedule established. Monthly reports and Project reflections indicated that; The beginning of 2011 was time to start the project (collecting resource, announced and chose students to be the member and running). This period, during which were difficulties as new things started, for data collection was followed by some times of public holidays, we did not follow all project method and plan (for farmers Agricultural extension). Project officer finding it is difficult to wait to see the activities happen and do the plan ( project processing), No connection with other partners ( organization or relevant project recourse to help) to see the top priority of project processing Prepared project plans seemed too complicated for participant families and were discarded. The original material to be used for project activities was too complicated to be used without some experience. The project Officer used more relevant methods to develop personal experience with planned activities. Potentially the material is more relevant at this point of the project. Filling out data was burdensome for students and sometimes incomplete or wrong. Now that the project officer has a better understanding of the necessity and relevance of the information, she can employ techniques to ensure the data collected has better integrity. Not enough office work was available for new staff to do during the week, partly due to a limited understanding of what the project required. As time has progressed and staff have more clearly understood the importance of different tasks, the workload is growing. At a point of the project where a heavy responsibility was placed on the project officer, she felt underequipped. As her understanding of the project has grown and she has engaged in a variety of roles, she is more confident. She requests more training and particularly guidance in project activities from a local advisor.
Project staff has had difficulty communicating and working together. While this conflict has not had a major impact on project success, it has made working conditions difficult for the staff.
Project is small and staff lack confidence. Officer and staff capacity still need to develop. Particular issues included; o o Communication between staff Staff skills including project administration and management
Finance
The budget has been regularly exceeded by 15-20%. All expense lines have been under the budget except general expenses which was exceeded significantly. This budget line includes general expenses and was exceed in part, due to staff development costs (courses) not initially included and due to more significant transport and food costs for staff in the province1. A significant amount has been spent on transportation and office rental, but these costs are necessary to ensure that we are able to visit farmers and work in Phnom Penh. The only alternative would be to base staff in the province which presents difficulties with such a limited project scope. In the project activities we involve starting small business in the family in order to find the way for the project to be sustainability, for the futures if the project finished working with the family, the hope is the farmers they keep continue to do the work by themselves. Though thought of involving small business is to assist farmers to learn to make their life plan by themselves. We provide small amount of cash to buy chicken, piglets. This money seems to have been a bit of a waste, because some of those small businesses have failed. ( Ex: Some of the piglets and chickens are dead ) But on a positive note, it shows the farmers of their life refection, and benefits ongoing financial education goals.
Normally, NGO staff will receive between $10-$15 per diem , plus travel expenses when travelling out of Phnom penh. Our current budget would provide 2-3 days travel per month. Currently, reports indicate we are sending staff into the province for 10-15 days a month.
Learning Points
The project team has learnt many lessons during the trial including; The team has improved their understanding of the key steps of running a project They have built up a network of contacts to the benefit of the dormitory and their future professional lives. The Project officer has developed administration and management skills and developed better decision making abilities. The project officer gained valuable experience applying university learnt skills to real life situations The team has gained confidence and motivation from seeing rural family extension in action. The importance of quality in data collection
Challenges
The project team has faced many challenges including; Farmers reaction to agricultural extension work Failure of some income generating activities - Small projects failed resulting in financial loss to the project, loss of project benefit to the farmers and reinforcing fear of new possibilities. The project officer felt underequipped and inexperienced resulting in misdirection of the project. Some staff not skilled in working directly with farmers. Management problems resulted in staff not listening to the project officer, when she asks him to do the work. Student reaction to food Nutrition Course was mixed. In many cases, students did not appear to follow guidance offered through the course due to disinterest, lack of finances and not applying the knowledge gained. This was evidenced by certain girl students still not having enough nutrition. They would comment on being sick and being tempted to go to hospital without attempting to apply the nutritional advice. In some cases, those students showed obvious iron deficiency.
Recommendations
1. Continue the project trial with the inclusion of financial literacy training. The omission of the financial literacy training hampers the project impact. The training promises to increase the impact on both families and students. 2. Improve data collection to get a better quality of information. More attention to helping students understand the importance of accurate data will assist the project to evaluate impact more effectively. 3. Expand the data collection to include relevant sources. The data collection should try to assess the financial impact of income generation activities on farmers and better assess the financial risk that students expose themselves to through loans and gifts. 4. Select farm plans in consultation with farmers that minimize risk. Work with farmers to develop plans together that achieve greater buy-in from the farmer while keeping the risk for the farmer to a minimum. 5. Improve methods of behavior change (nutrition) and reinforce the nutrition lessons taught. Behavior change takes time and nutrition and financial literacy lessons will need to be taught and re-taught, especially in light of new students entering the dormitory. 6. Further staff development to improve staff relationships. Equipping staff with management and professional working skills will help them to negotiate better working relationships within the project and with outside stakeholders. 7. Improved staff support in the way of a project advisor and better guidance from project manager. The project officer has performed admirably without sufficient guidance and support during the initial phases of the trial. Further development in performance will require better support and advice through enlisting additional project advisors and improving communication.

Weaknesses
Dormers are not all putting the knowledge to practice The parents still cannot afford to sent more money to the students yet Dormers complain cannot effort more money on food The extension program do not assist much in the family Farmer not very dear to try know thing Long traveling did not do much work with the farmers Spend lots of money on traveling Lack of project resources in library Not enough training of staff on project managing Student did not fill the actually truly data Project manager and project officer need more communication Did not complete Financial training course Did not complete Family education program on student nutrition
Opportunities
The project could provide itself the opportunity to spread as anorganizationin the future. We could use Nutrition course as a basic foundation vision for youth program education involve in Cambodia Bethezer Dormitory project as well as Financial. 6 months experience processing of the project provide technical tool to prevent the weakness of the project in the future. The strength Agricultural extension could help farmers to change their familys situation better in the future. Dormer students have deserved Nutrition and Financial education in their life. Sunday school preaching Activities could be taken the opportunity at the village if there Sunday school teacher willing to go out to teach.
Threats
Providing small project financial will be very danger if the project spread bigger. Farmer upbringing farming traditional made difficulty to extent new technical. The lack of dormers financial income is the problem of nutrition food quantities to what they needed.
