  1. Progress in PIM (3.1) by ICRAF Jason Donovan IFPRI; Washington, D.C. 11 July 2013

  2. What’s ahead • Major lines of R&D in PIM 3.1 • Outputs so far(2013) • Some outcomes (IDOs) • Links with other CRPs • Links with other CG centers • Next steps

  3. Major R&D lines (PIM 3.1) 1. Assessing the performance of tree fruit value chains (Peru, Kenya, Cameroon) – a chance to shake up debates on “underutilized fruits”

  4. Major R&D lines (PIM 3.1) 2. Comparative review of guides for value chain analysis anddevelopment – a collaboration with CTA

  5. Major R&D lines (PIM 3.1) 3. Promoting 5Capitals: articles, books, websites, training events, supported applications 4. New research on value chains and nutrition – options for increased tree fruit consumption in growing urban areas

  6. Outputs Assessing the performance of tree fruit VCs (Peru, Kenya, Cameroon): • Conceptual framework, with strong focus on VC performance • Context analysis & data collection tools elaborated Comparative review of VC guides: • Final report delivered to CTA • Report in layout (CTA) • Journal article elaborated

  7. Outputs 5Capitals: • 5Capitals case study companion (in press) • 2 journal articles submitted (Food Policy, JADEE) • 30 NGO staff trained (Latin America) New research: value chains and nutrition • Seed fund proposal • Beginnings of a conceptual framework

  8. Outcomes (IDOs) 5Capitals • Consultancy with ISEAL: use of 5Capitals for assessing the poverty impacts of certification systems • Proposal FLO: W Africa fairtrade cocoa assessment • New collaboration with McKnight Foundation • New discussions with Ford Foundation

  9. Outcomes (IDOs) New research: value chains and nutrition • Seed fund proposal approved • Advances in coordination (within ICRAF) • New partner for urban-focused, nutrition-related research in Peru – IIN

  10. Linkages with other CRPs CRP4 • Seed fund proposal approved • Participation in kick-off workshop at IFPRI in May • Participation in CGIAR Science Forum in September • Intensive collaboration with IFPRI for elaboration of major proposal for 2014 CRP6 • Benchmarking cooperative business performance (current research: cacao in Peru)

  11. Linkages with other CG centers Existing linkages • Bioversity International:5Capitals case study companion; ISEAL consultancy; FLO proposal • IFPRI: New research around VCs and nutrition • CIP: 5Capitals methodologyand case study companion Interests in new collaboration… • Value chain performance assessment • Facilitating learning for improved VC development (implementation of 5Capitals) • Benchmarking business performance • Tools for assessing risk, vulnerability

  12. Next steps • Full steam ahead with case studies on value chain development for less-known tree fruits • Continued interaction with ISEAL, FLO, and foundations related to 5Capitals • Engagement with PIM on design on platforms for facilitating tools and improving tool implementation and design • Implementation of VC/nutrition seed grant

  13. Business environment • Access to market information • Access to inputs • Infrastructure • Service offer (technical, business, and financial) • Regulations • Consumer environment • Access to information on UUF • Product availability • Substitutes • Product positioning (culture, perceptions) • Regulations • Chain performance and resilience • Sales growth, access to new markets • Innovation in production, processing, and marketing • Ability to meet buyer expectations (quality, volume, cost) • Adequate systems to provide food safety • Relationship with other chain actors (information flow, contracts, cooperation, coordination, competition) Performance drivers Performance drivers • Capacities and strategies of linked smallholders • Livelihood strategies • Productive assets (human, social, natural, financial, and physical capitals) • Income flows, debts and savings • Capacities and strategies of linked businesses • Business strategies • Productive assets (human, social, natural, financial, and physical capitals) • Income flows, debts and savings
