AFRICA RISING

Overall research approach

----

In Ethiopia and Tanzania, there was emerging interest in having the 3 regional projects adopt and follow a coherent research approach.

The Task Force met in Ibadan 16-18 July 2012 to finalise the framework - [[Research Framework Workshop July 2012| see workshop details]]

View latest version of the framework here: [[http://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/25079]]

View relevant related group work on 'boundaries' from [[Dar_boundaries| Tanzania]] and [[Addis_project_boundaries| Ethiopia]]

==The Tanzania inception workshop resulted in the following:==

'''WHAT: Research Focus approaches:'''

'demand-side' research targeted to household decision making on sustainable intensification;
oriented towards people who can benefit from SI
up a scale from field experimentation
'participatory action research'
emphasis on understanding and supporting 'decision making'
across intensification gradients

'''HOW: Agreements:'''

we aim for a consistent integrated research framework/approach across all the 3 projects; but this needs to be finally confirmed with other project regions

SMALL core task force to be formed - linked to CRPs 1.1 and 1.2; to consult widely with others.This task force is associated to the overall 'program coordination team'

close link to M&E work necessary

'jumpstarts' should, as far as possible, be completely consistent with this approach [so we need to communicate it well, also interim agreements]

expect to build on the various 'inventories' of technologies, actors, etc.
