Differentiation processes: the surveyed regions facing transition Gorée, Senegal - June, 2008

1. Differentiation processes: the surveyed regions facing transition Gorée, Senegal - June, 2008

2. Objectives • Based on: • phase 2 results [regional and chain analysis, HH surveys] • Our discussions on: integration-differentiation; vulnerability • What are the main issues to be raised regarding: • The absorption capacity of agriculture • The main determining factors of differentiation [land access, water access, type of market access, etc] • Marginalization processes [both regional and HH levels] • Existing exit options [diversification of rural activities, development of waged labor, migrations and livelihood options for migrants] • => How to usefully feed the local/international debate?

3. Adjustments Gorée, Senegal - June, 2008

4. Variables Clarifications • Economically active population: range from 15 to 64 year-old • Resident: short term migration included, long term migration excluded • Underestimation of transfer: Impossible to complete the data, but useful to make comments on this underestimation • Auto provision of seeds not taken into account • But auto-consumption taken into account at the average market price • Cultivated areas: each team identifies the best way to estimate the areas (sold production, yields, total production…) • Sales of agricultural products: refers to the usual type of commercialization (eg. Paddy vs white rice): if on-farm hulling the value is included in the selling price – if off-farm hulling its cost is deducted from the selling value • Transformation: only taken into account when the nature of the product has changed (e.g. cheese, olive oil…)

5. Variables Clarifications / 2 • Equipment depreciation: when necessary (heavy equipments), teams could take them into account if they have the relevant information, but have to show results with and without depreciation • Education: 0= do not write and read; 1= write and read; then classes according to each team up to 5 (i.e. 6 classes). • Livestock: use the “short way”=> sales + auto-consumption at market price - breeding expenditures=> breeding account to catch livestock value (only for cattle)

6. Back to the indicators • 4 axes • Core variables + national additional variables • Same scale for scoring 1 => 3 • but local definition of each level of vulnerability • Last points of clarification for discussion: diversification / dependency ratio / marketing / land tenure

7. Next steps: deadlines and dissemination Gorée, Senegal - June, 2008

8. Deadlines and countdown • Initial deadlines: • 6 months after signature • Workshop mid-April => end of May => mid-June • Today’ s deadline: draft report mid-July • Justified by: • End of the program: end of February 09 • Peer review process: internal and external reviews => draft final report mid-November • Advisory Committee mid-September • Steering Committee early September • note for review to be sent on August 30

9. Mid-July’s deadline: minimum requisites • The more you can… for mid-July + 1 week = Monday, July 21 = 4 weeks from the end of the workshop • Part 1 and 3 on hold • Part 2: the core of the analysis is the target • Chapter 2 on regional characteristics • Chapter 3 on H1 and H3: • integration-differentiation (minimum from Chapter 1) • Diversification processes • Chapter 4: engage discussion on vulnerability (depending of work on indicators)

10. Final deadline • July 21 + 4 weeks = Monday, August 18 = 8 weeks from the end of the workshop => report, annexes, database • Feedbacks: • Between July 21 and August 4: first feedback • Between August 18 and September 8: feedback on general report • Monday, September 22: final version • Tuesday, September 30: closing date

11. After the national report… the “needed” and the possible • Dissemination at the national level => Option of a “package presentation”: national report + first insights of the general synthesis => using the national debate to feed the final synthesis • Dissemination at the international level • Final workshop => seminar => conference • Special panel sessions: ABCDE 2009, GDN 2009, GTDF • Publications: special journal issue, book, policy notes
