  1. Africa RISING in the Ethiopian Highlands Peter Thorne

  2. Timeline • January 2012: Project design workshop • March 2012: Quick Win projects identified • April – September 2012: Quick Win projects operating • September 2012: Project review and planning meeting

  3. Quick Win Projects • “Quick Feeds” – ILRI / ICARDA / EIAR / ORARI • “Quick Water” – IWMI / ILRI / Addis Ababa, Bahir Dar, Arba Minch Universties • “Quick Trees” – ICRAF / ILRI / EIAR / Mekele University • “Quick Pulses” – ICARDA / EIAR / ORARI / Farm Africa • Research Design – CIMMYT / ILRI

  4. Research Process Modeling Research teams Options Entry points Participatory evaluation Synthesis Adaptation Problem ID Typologies Combination Farm-level impacts RO 1 Situation analysis and programme-wide synthesis RO 2 Integrated systems improvement Characterisation Sustainability / resilience Site selection DS tools Implemntation support Forecast replicability RO 3 Scaling and delivery Meta analysis Scaling approaches Aggregated impacts Validate replicability

  5. Types of Intervention • Knowledge and capacity strengthening • Tools for targeting and scaling • Tools / documents to support farmer decision-making • Social cohesion • Community level innovation to support peer-to-peer learning • Removing constraints on collaboration and reciprocity

  6. Types of Intervention • Technical advances • Integrating pulses into cereal-based systems • Capitalising on tree-livestock interactions • Improved feed resource management • Institutional strengthening • Multi-stakeholder approaches for strengthening market function / service delivery etc. • Community-based Policy Advocacy

  7. Partnerships • Research: CGIAR, NARS, Universities, NGOs • Development: AGP initiatives, USAID, ATA • Other donor initiatives: DfID, ACIAR, EU, IFAD

  8. Why Partnerships? • Strengthen research capacity / synergies • Not re-inventing wheels or inventing new wheels with flat tires • Grounding the research in development problems • Opportunities for scaling
