  1. Other studies for maximising and measuring impact Ekin Birol, Manager, Impact and Policy

  2. H+ Impact and Policy Portfolio IMPACT MAXIMISE MEASURE • Consumer acceptance • Varietal adoption • Value chain/seed systems • Farmer field day evaluation • Ex ante impact assessment • Effectiveness • Farmer feedback • Impact assessment • Adoption • Consumption • Nutrition POLICY • Linking quality and health • Portfolio analysis

  3. Value Chain and Seed Systems • Aims • To understand/document the value (supply) chains for seed and grain and seed sectors, to understand • How we can position ourselves in the existing system? • How can we “work” these existing systems to our advantage – pull mechanisms? • What attributes are value chain actors looking for? • Who will have access to our planting material? • Who will be consuming our grains?

  4. Value Chain and Seed Systems • Methods • Qualitative methods – key informant interviews • Secondary/primary data analysis • Some relevant results • For Rwanda beans • No formal seed system – we generated our own system • Circular flow of beans in the same locations • Timeliness of delivery key for adoption • For Zambia maize • Advanced seed sector – we are learning from them • Role of the maize seed subsidy and grain reserve

  5. Farmer field day evaluation • Aims • To understand farmers’ evaluation of consumption and production traits • To assess farmers’ likelihood of adoption • Methods • Structured surveys implemented during field days with randomly selected farmers

  6. Farmer field day evaluation • Farmers appreciate the production characteristics of orange maize • Especially the yield and cob filling • …. cob size need improving • Consumption characteristics of orange maize were superior • Especially aroma & taste • WTP for orange varieties is higher

  7. H+ Impact and Policy Portfolio IMPACT MAXIMISE MEASURE • Consumer acceptance • Varietal adoption • Value chain/seed systems • Farmer field day evaluation • Ex ante impact assessment • Effectiveness • Farmer feedback • Impact assessment • Adoption • Consumption • Nutrition POLICY • Linking quality and health • Portfolio analysis

  8. Farmer feedback • Aims • To measure/understand • Adoption and diffusion of biofortified varieties • Consumption/sale of biofortified varieties • Farmers’ evaluation of various traits of biofortifiedvarieties and delivery mechanisms • Methodology • Random sample of households who have biofortified planting material • Need census of farmers • Structured survey instruments

  9. Impact assessment … • Aims • To understand • Adoption/diffusion of biofortified varieties • Factors that affect adoption, diffusion, sale and consumption of biofortified varieties • Methodology • Go to the same households as in the varietal adoption (baseline) studies to see the changes in their varietal portfolios

  10. Studies to date/ongoing in 2012
