Possible impact reporting for final output--Africa RISING Nov 2020 retreat

1.Frame impacts around the impact pathway proposed in the Phase II proposal

a)Numbers of beneficiaries

b)Average estimated impacts per household (on a multi-year basis?)

i.Economic impact assessment highest priority:

• Estimated average or range of Impact per household (or person): per annum or cumulative multi-year?
• ROI: $ per household invested AR total vs total return (annual vs cumulative multi-year?)

ii.Productivity

iii.Nutrition -- maybe most difficult to capture for AR? Calories v protein v micronutrients; and less of a priority for AR

c)Case studies related to concept of sustainable intensification (research approaches and impact); not sure these are the most appropriate categories but are based on Montpellier panel report on SI:

i.Genetic intensification: research on improved varieties, alternative crops

• Possible examples? : improved crop varieties in Ethiopia; improved poultry in Tanzania; cowpea varieties in Ghana

ii.Ecological intensification: agronomy, NRM, soil fertility, water management

• Possible examples? : Landscape-scale rehabilitation in Tigray; doubled-up legumes in Zambia and Malawi; NRM work in Mali

iii.Social intensification (?): advisory services, private sector, market linkages

• Possible examples? : digital phone services;

iv.Use of SIAF

d)Approaches to tech transfer (direct by AR) and scaling (indirect through partners):

i.Public sector -- NARS, NGOs, USAID missions, other development partners

ii.Private sector –

iii.Mixed?
