  1. 80 Impact evaluation of upgrading cassava value chains through post-harvest engineering and processing research-for-development in sub-Saharan Africa J. Rusike, T. Abdoulaye, V. Manyong

  2. OP 3.2.2: Impact evaluations of value chain-related interventions in RTB: cassava processing • Conduct PIPA workshops, key informant interviews, and focus group discussion; review literature • Carry out surveys of fabricator, processors and farm households and Rapid Appraisal Value Chain Analysis • Map gender roles & relations; identify gender inequalities & gender-based constraints; innovations to resolve gender-based constraints • Data entry, cleaning and analysis • Write up and reporting • Dissemination

  3. OP 3.2.4: Local capacity building for impact assessment of cassava value chain-related interventions • Conduct workshops, seminars, training courses • Carry out stakeholder workshops and policy dialogue fora meetings • Conduct postgraduate student training

  4. OC 3.2.1: Methods and guidelines from CRP2 used to improve value chain-related interventions • Impact evaluation • Evidence of impact of development and dissemination of point intervention to processing: Nigeria’s Cassava Agricultural Transformation Agenda; DRC’s Presidential Initiative; Tanzania’s MUVI projects • Best practice methods for increasing impacts: nucleus farm-outgrower schemes; planting materials supply • Policies for scaling up through private sector change agents (e.g. nucleus farmers, processors, replicable contracts)

  5. OC 3.2.1: Methods and guidelines from CRP2 used to improve value chain-related interventions • Local capacity building • Design for impact evaluation using RCTs: COMPRO, Africa RISING • Local, national, regional Cassava Innovation Platforms • Students theses

  6. OC 3.2.1: Methods and guidelines from CRP2 used to improve value chain-related interventions

  7. Impact • Increased productivity, quality and safety of the products, profitability, employment, occupational safety and incomes for cassava machinery and equipment fabricators, processors and households • lower food prices for urban consumers and net food buying farm households • Capacity built improvement in business environment -> lower transaction costs • Capacity built impact: increment in knowledge that generates new machinery/process designs

  8. Linkages with other CRPs • Roots, Tubers and Bananas CRP • Priority Setting: local level studies: refine the estimates of impacts of research options. • Flagship: Raising incomes and improving the health and safety at small and medium cassava production centers, especially for rural women • Humidtropics SRT3: • Models for scaling strategies of intensification interventions -> focus on scalable change agents

  9. Tool’s progress: value chain Subsistence Households Ethanol, starch, sweeteners Poultry farmers Consumers Exports Consumers Consumption Industrial distributors Agents Bakeries, Supermarkets Retailers Millers Processing Retailers ANIMAL FEED MILL Flour mills, Human Food Manufacturing Industrial Manufacturing Dried grain markets Wholesalers Fresh markets Wholesalers Trade Vendors & Informal Traders Rural Assemblers Processing centers: chips Processing centers: gari, HQCF Processing plant Processing Farm Production Large scale: outgrowers Small scale Cassava improvement research, planting materials, fertilizers, farm machinery and equipment, cassava processing Inputs Channel 5 Human food manufacturing Channel 7 Chips for exports Channel 1 Subsistence production & consumption Channel 3 Dried roots/chips for direct human consumption Channel 4 Animal feed manufacturing Channel 6 Industrial uses Channel 2 Fresh marketed roots nearby/long distance

  10. Tool’s progress: Value chain model of cassava industry development: globalization

  11. Tool’s progress: Value chain model of cassava industry development: Globalization

  12. Tool’s progress: Value chain model of cassava industry development: Globalization

  13. Next steps • Implement surveys and build data bases • Validate tool: apply time series error correction model to test hypotheses of liberalization and globalization and integration and Box Jenkins transfer function methods to test hypotheses of causality of planting materials/cassava processing on supply response • Identify issues, best practices and policies • Publish communicate results
