Day 1 recap by Shirley Tarawali[edit | edit source]
Thinking and discussing about sustainable intensification
- a range of views
- on what this encompasses
- on the extent to which it is ‘the’ or ‘a’ solution
- everyone sees some value
Sustainable intensification in CGIAR research programs
- In the project under discussion
Consensus
- markets important & integral part
- private sector
- some kind of ‘intensification gradient’ makes sense - how we define, that is much less clear
Challenges
- What is ‘in’ and what is ‘out’?
- Many times – broadening
- Bay for project proponents is how to define success
- Lots of ideas & possible metrics from Stan
- Lined up with USAID priorities but health/nutrition missing
- Catalyse? Synergies? Leverage? Alignment
Level of work, level of success indicators & time frame - yes we may impost on nutrition – but that may be an outcome further down the road – several years – what are the measurable steps for us to know we are leading the right way?
Leveraging & connecting with other programmes is essential – that is where there is significant resources to take research results to scale. Over 70 projects & programmes in this rather small sub sample of R&D!
