Systems research/approach[edit | edit source]
- do we do something new? change? or just more of the same?
- increased attention to interactions and tradeoffs?
- defining 'boundaries'
- shift the emphasis ...? moving up?
- some cross-project similar 'integrated' activities?
- what criteria to start/stop in next phase?
- specify entry themes as a way to limit demand/focus?
- exit strategy in case no phase 2?
Vision of success[edit | edit source]
- diagram
- targets
- benefits - Y axis
- by country
- blue and purple lines
- legend different
Theory of change[edit | edit source]
File:ToC-IP_generic_aug2015.xlsx
File:ToC-IP_ethiopia_aug2015.xlsx
Outcomes[edit | edit source]
1. By 2021, within Africa RISING target areas/communities, improvements in livelihood status (income, nutrition) by X% for at least Y households with Z improvement of NRM status and ensuring that benefits are equitably shared within farming communities….
2. By 2021, X development/scaling/value chain partners are advancing research results to Y households beyond the Africa RISING target areas/communities…
do we bring back the original objectives and outcomes
Research questions[edit | edit source]
- which combinations of technologies/interventions/components (spatial/temporal) result in the most attractive/highest net benefits in terms of at least 3 SI dimensions for all farm/household typologies and agro-ecologies?
- How and in what ways does systems research (and its various components/elements) deliver higher/more attractive net benefits (in terms of SI dimensions) than traditional/conventional component research does?
- How can innovations be best scaled? What scaling approaches work?
- How do cross-scale (plot, farm, landscape) interactions affect the net benefits (in terms of SI dimensions)?
- How can systems research inform farmer, policy maker and research decision makers to implement SI?
- Extra action/question to be asked at end of phase 1: What are the application domains of phase 1 results that need to be continued into phase 2? To guide the process of selecting the promising innovations to continue into phase 2 - where, and how
SI framework[edit | edit source]
- complete the rapid assessment tool/instrument
- validate in bamako
- test via the postdocs
- devise the aggregation protocol for the net benefits [proof of concept with weights and current data]
- then the regional projects can use it
Farmer engagement[edit | edit source]
File:Summary of Farmer Engagement and Participation in Africa RISING -2408.docx File:Farmers engagement Ethiopia.docx File:AR_engagement_standards_jan2014.pdf
M&E[edit | edit source]
phase 2 - ifpri has a modified scope envisaged. ifpri to finance 'data managers' in each regional project need to also have local M&E specialists in each regional project/country - perhaps same person as the data manager. aim to recruit these folks to be in place before phase 2 starts need clear guidance on what data needs to be collected for program M&E as well as research purposes need joint M&E/research planning in the planning meetings. nothing much we can change now for phase 1 / aiming for phase 2 [also session in bamako]
Typologies[edit | edit source]
- 4 uses - get from Jeroen
- Scientists to be trained to use/build typologies
- See the action list from Carlo first 2
- Science symposium in march 2016 the big exposure of the scientists to using typologies
- How to move from typologies to targeting
2016 science symposium[edit | edit source]
phase 2 writing team[edit | edit source]
- proposal target date april/may 2016
- core team - who
- wider engagement - process
- PCT decide in bamako
- 'template' / outline / table of contents - use it in the bamako meeting - asamoah
