AfricaRISING Ethiopia Current Status
Six Quick Wins • Quick Feeds ILRI / ICARDA • Quick Water IWMI / ILRI • Integration of pulses ICARDA • Tree - livestock interactions ICRAF / ILRI • Research Design ILRI / CIMMYT (All engaged with EIAR / regional ARCs at some level)
Research Design ILRI /CIMMYT • Inputs to earlier drafts of research framework • Opportunities to support the selection of techniques at the project level • Other opportunities to use this project to strengthen / expand the programme research framework. • Project workshop will bring together some key players
Characterisation / Typologies • Livelihoods asset based ILRI / ICARDA • Indigenous knowledge ICRAF / ILRI • Participatory ILRI / CIMMYT
Site Selection Criteria • Chris Legg analysis • Continuity / meeting expectations raised by Quick Wins • Other potential synergies (CRP 1.2 / CRP 3.7 etc.) • More detailed assessments of potential for SI / crop-livestock synergies • 90% firm after planning workshop • Should it be phased / needs focus on RF / hypotheses
Meetings (Ethio-specific) • Quick wins workshops • Quick Feeds 3 – 4 September • Research Design 13 – 14 September • Quick Water 14 September • Review and planning workshop 17 – 18 September
Positives • Quick wins off to a strong start • On the ground NARS collaborations are effective • Inter-centre collaboration very encouraging • Negatives • Higher level partnership building needs more work
Outstanding Issues • Staffing • Existing CG personnel / recruitment • M & E “responsibilities” (share?) • How to mobilise • Coordinated research or “Challenge” / Opportunistic • Both? What would the split be - 80 : 20? • Full / inclusive engagement with partners (NARS + CG)
