  1. Mapping Agricultural Investments and Technologies the Location and Reach of CGIAR Research Programs for Improved Planning, Targeting, and accountability 9th Meeting of the Independent Science Partnership Council, IFPRI, March 12-14, 2014

  2. Rationale Provide the CG System and our partners with key investment indicators: • Location of R&D focus areas, programs and actors • Count of activities, allocated budget, full-time-equivalent researchers by location, with possible allocation across: • System IDOs, and CRP IDOs • Commodity value-chains • Technologies • Support for investment analysis and targeting with partners: • Identify gaps and opportunities to foster partnerships at regional, national, and local scale

  3. Provide Evidence alongthe R&D Input-Output Continuum… • Investment Activities (technologies, space, time), FTEs • Output Scalable technologies, publications, scientific datasets, training, etc. • ImpactTechnology uptake, adoption rates, reduced food crises, improved health and resilience

  4. Dublin Process • AU/FARA, SROs, CGIAR, WB, DPs • African Science Agenda for Ag. • Investment mapping and alignment • CGIAR Reform • Revised CRPs • Partnership commitment • Open-access policy, OCShttp://ongoing-research.cgiar.org/ Background and History • AgTrials • CCAFS, CIAT, BIOVERSITY • Technology performance evaluation at trial sites • Standards for crop phenologyhttp://www.agtrials.org/ • AATP / New Alliance for FS&N • Countries/G8, other DPs, private sector, CGIAR, FARA • Technology assessment and targeting in support of CAADP • Focus commodities and yield targets • Mapping of technologies • Implementation at scale • ICT/open data Investment mapping is embedded into a number of CGIAR-led initiatives and multi-partner alliances with opportunities but also potential duplication of efforts. • SAKSS/ReSAKSS • CAADP, NARES, IFPRI • Country and regional M&E • Country e-Atlaseshttp://www.aginvestafrica.org/ IATI Multi-stakeholder aid transparency standard Monitor aid flows, by source, recipient, sector (over 160 member organizations) http://iatistandard.org/ • ASTI • IFPRI, NARES, GFAR, ASARECA • Periodic datasets on national ag R&D • Analysis of R&D trends • Enhanced capacity for data collectionhttp://www.asti.cgiar.org/

  5. Results and Timeline • May 2014 – Livestock mapping workshop in the Horn of Africa with ILRI and HoA Technical Consortium (under discussion) • Apr 2014- Release of draft data schema and harmonized codelists • Apr 2014 - Release of web-based “CGIAR Research Portfolio” for visualization and data-entry • Mar-2013 on-going - Renewed engagement with CRP Teams and CO to collect, geocode, and harmonize attributes at the “activity” level: • Aug 2013 – Push new data standards through IATI, AGROVOC, Gates Foundation, USAID.. • Oct 2013 - Updated CGIAR R&D spatial footprint at country level • Dec 2013 – Curation of activity-level records for CRP 1.1, 1.2, 2, 4, 5, 7 • Production of a shared IATI-ready data schema for characterizing activities and locations • Mar 2013 - Mapping handed over to Consortium for Spatial Infrastructure and fully backed by PIM (Third Africa Agriculture GIS Week) • Identify key CSI Coordinators and CRP focal points • Curation and sharing of CRP agricultural domain maps • Early 2013 - Investment mapping “prototype” (collection of activities and domain maps extracted from CRP investment proposals) Mid-2014 Mid-2012

  6. IATI-driven R&D Mapping Multi-stakeholder initiative launched in Ghana, 2008. IATI largely builds on OECD/DAC. http://iatistandard.org/

  7. IATI-Ready Data Schema

  8. From spreadsheets to user-centric data collection tools MS Excel Data Collection Template: Excel: familiar , low-tech editing environment Simplified administration Potentials for scaling into a full-fledge web-based platform, or built into existing reporting systems How to train and incentivize? Agricultural Investment Mapping, BMGF, Seattle, July 1-2, 2013

  9. Harmonized Vocabularies • Strategic themes: CGIAR SLOs, CG and CRP IDOs • Target technologies: draft ontology is at http://webprotege.stanford.edu/#Edit:projectId=1fea0d22-05f2-4f38-b9a3-656f278dd242 needs review from KM Leaders • Target commodities: currently using FAO/AGROVOC commodity names • Organizations: harmonized organization/partner identifiers with links to IATI Organization codelist • Location reach: using GAUL 2012 adm-2 (district) 1-Action/intervention, 2-Potential beneficiaries, 3-Partner organizations, 4-Experimental farm/nursery (different from IATI). • Location type: an extension to IATI Location Class codelist (incl. river basin, mega-environment, drylands STRs, etc.)

  10. Developing and Promoting Shared Ontologies WebProtégé : flexible, distributed, multilingual ontology editor Collaborative editing using local/field expert knowledge Build validation mechanisms (?) Require acquiring external skills (e.g. IFPRI hiring an Ontology Specialist for semantic modeling) Agricultural Investment Mapping, BMGF, Seattle, July 1-2, 2013

  11. CRP Agricultural Domain Mapshttp://csi.maps.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=1fd97e26f6124792bac11ba527511674

  12. CGIAR R&D Spatial Footprint: country-levelhttps://hc.app.box.com/s/39pgky4jn1frrek30d8z(print)http://public.tableausoftware.com/views/CRPsbyCountryBasedonAnnualProgressReport2012r3/World#1 (interactive)

  13. CGIAR R&D Spatial Footprint: activity-levelhttp://public.tableausoftware.com/views/CGIARCRP2-PIMInvestmentMap/CRP2-PIM#1

  14. Towards CGIAR Research Portfolio: interactive visualization and simplified data capture More robust data management and mapping features compared to MSExcelxsheet. Emphasis on building harmonized, accessible database (and not on platform). http://crps.harvestchoice.org/dev/
