Systems research/approach
- -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?

Outcomes
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
- 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
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
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
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
- 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
phase 2 writing team
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
Products
systems piece - bernard and jeroen to send next draft; then comments
then session in bamako research questions - peter to update and re-order and simplify; develop sub-questions in bamako
