Functional typology
Different approaches
• Ghana: statistical, expert-based, community-based• Mali: existing typology (Gatien Falconnier)• Malawi and Tanzania: statistical• Zambia: repeated statistical, using SIMLEZA baseline
Can be linked back to the structural IFPRI types

Conclusions
• Different approaches due to contrasts in development stage of projects, and in availability of data and typologies
• Comparison of approaches and classifications can help validation and provides insights in different perceptions of farms and their opportunities and constraints
• Good basis for further evaluation of the entry points, exploration of tradeoffs, to inform decisions on improvements in farm performance
