Abstract
This article argues that if the multiple purposes of M&E were recognised and pursued it would
help align the incentives of funders, implementers, M&E service providers, and intended beneficiaries to
increase the impacts of agriculture on poverty. In reality, these multiple purposes are rarely pursued, leading
to the weak provision of meaningful M&E. We make the case that M&E in agriculture is not immune to this,
and it may even be more susceptible due to agriculture’s unique properties. We argue that one possible way
forward is people-centred M&E, which looks for ways to balance multiple accountabilities. People-centred
M&E embraces farmer feedback, focuses on incentivising learning within organisations and finds ways to
share M&E information more openly.
