Study notes
The overarching goal of the MCA-Armenia program is to reduce rural poverty through better economic performance in the agricultural sector. The objective of the program's Water-to-Market Activity (WtM) is to provide training, technical assistance, access to credit and essential equipment under the MCC-funded Infrastructure Activity.
The primary purpose of the Farming Practices Survey (FPS) is to collect data for an impact evaluation of on-farm water management and high-value agriculture training, which is the primary component of WtM.

Questionnaires
The FPS standardized questionnaire was designed based on domains obtained by specialists from MCA-Armenia, MCC and Mathematica, with close review of previous related survey questionnaires. The questionnaire contained 8 blocks of questions to measure the items (topical domains) required by the client (such as characteristics of the household, land and livestock, crops production, water use, farming expenditures, participation in trainings, agriculture equipment consumption and monetary income). The FPS pre-test-including the sample pre-test-was conducted from October 10-11, 2007.
