<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">This workshop provides an opportunity for a broad group of important stakeholders to both learn about the project plans and to share their views on expectations from and opportunities for synergies with the project (days 1 and 2) and for the core project team to finalize the project details (days 3 and 4).</span><br />

<br />
iain - likes<br />
useful to see all the CRP linkages<br />
useful overview<br />
<br />
iain - gaps<br />
not possible to link with each and everyone; need to select which is most relevant, and which sites most relevant. prioritizaton<br />
private sector partners not mentioned<br />
did not yet zoom into the ET highlands<br />
<br />
<br />
shirley - likes<br />
like the element of 'cultural change'; involving all stakeholders<br />
nicely aligned<br />
<br />
shirley - gaps<br />
trees seem to be missing<br />
climate change not enough?<br />
legumes not secondary crops!<br />
water management missing?<br />
need to identify the unit of interventions, households, communities?<br />
need to clearly state what's unique and novel<br />
value chain issues?<br />
markets for ecosystems services?<br />
gender issues<br />
need to focus on several major components, or will be too broad?<br />
<br />
shirley: challenge is to focus on a small (mixed) subset and also intersect with other projects and opportunities<br />
<br />
<br />
stan - gaps<br />
what we measure in w africa can't be a template for here<br />
what are we really measuring - numbers - or ...<br />
main focus seems to be ex-ante, not clear what we will measure on the impact side?<br />
what about issues around social processes?<br />
missing some connections with how to measure the intensification gradient?<br />
what about diversification; longer term sustainability indicators?<br />
how to address (and measure) the prioirities of the government, and of the farmers<br />
what's the driving force for the intensification .. land productivity, water availability/productivity, ...<br />
pretty large gap/disconnect between the indicators/approach and what was presented by Iain and Shirley.<br />
<br />
stan: tension between not having too many indicators and better understanding very complex subject/issues. How are we going to capture, eg social capital? Got to have really good a priori thinking about theories of change; then chop down into what you can actually do.</div>Peterballantyne
