 '''Production of an annual Africa RISING program activity synthesis document for USAID'''
 ----
-<br />
+*JO - We produced a phase 1 synthesis document that for the first time enabled us to have a program-wide view of Africa RISING R-in-D activities. Would there be value in producing an annual 1 - 5 page synthesis document that captures the programatic view? Currently we don't have such a document and all we have are the semi-annual technical reports for the 3 Africa RISING projects. I would have also liked to hear from JG whether such a document would add value to USAID.
-<br />
+*SM - Key things for JO to consider before deciding what to do are: (a) How much time/input would be required to produced such a document? (b) There needs to be more clarity about the target audience (c) is it going to be useful to extract info. from the technical report that have already been submitted to the donor? duplications?
-<br />
+*PT - The institutional boards could also read such a document? I think it would be great for us to have such a document presented in succinct language.

+*IHZ - We still have no concrete info. about funding. Hopefully, we will hear more about this soon.
-<br />
+*BV - We had the IITA Board visiting some of the Africa RISING project sites in Tanzania. We saw various activities by the project. In general, the  activities were appreciated by the Board members. The only prevailing comment was the need for the team to showcase integration much more strongly. There was also the comment that the project should probably do more climate change responsive activities.

+*SM - oN 15 - 16 May We had the CGIAR systems council meeting here in the ILRI Addis campus. Africa RISING had a stand during a share fair. Rob Bertram spent sometime in the stand pick up some material.
