Welcome to a new cycle of webinars focusing on inclusive market facilitation tools. In this special edition we have three 1-hour webinars that form a complete set. In this series, Eric Derks and Leanne Rasmussen share learning from this five-year, multi-million dollar USAID program, the objective of which is to increase Ugandan farmers' use of good quality agro-inputs by fostering more inclusive systemic changes in the agro-inputs industry. As of late 2014, the program developed and began utilizing an M&E scheme that is expected to:

• Monitor the feedback from actors in the agro-inputs sector on the program's interventions and use this information to improve their interventions
• Gauge systemic change in behavior and business practices in the agro-inputs industry and explore the impacts on smallholder farmers
• Explore the limits of reasonable attribution to interventions

This third webinar in the series, titled "Using Systemic M&E Tools in Feed The Future Uganda: Sensemaker ®," looked at how the project team used this tool and method to monitor systemic change. Leanne and Eric shared their experiences with using the tool and provide recommendations to other practitioners who are interested in applying it.

What is Sensemaker?

SenseMaker combines an innovative research methodology with patented software to collect and analyze large quantities of narratives in order to understand complex change. It brings together insights from complexity sciences, anthropology, and cognitive science. It uses participants' narratives to uncover foundational attitudes and norms that inform and influence behavior.
