  1. Why and how to implement a R&D framework for Africa RISING? implementation the workshop for a fast-track project Addis Ababa, 13-14 September 2012 Diego Valbuena (SLP-ILRI), Jens Andersson, Frédéric Baudron (CIMMYT) Edward Chuma (Pico Team), Tesfaye Sida (Ambo University), Peter Thorne (ILRI), Beth Cullen (ILRI), KatrienDescheemaeker(Wageningen University), Jenny Aker (Tufts University), Ann Waters-Bayer (ETC), Sieg Snapp (Michigan State University), Bruno Gérard (CIMMYT)

  2. Africa RISING outcomes: • whole farm productivity • natural resource management • connect markets & input suppliers • nutrition & poverty: women & children • economic & environmental resilience

  3. Participatory R&D: overview participation typology household survey research-led farmer-led FSR ToT FF PR&D PR&D research-led

  4. Participatory R&D: implementation cycle t1 Analysis of diversity Impact assessment Problem identification PR&D cycle t­­0 Action planning Sharing of experiences On-farm experimentation

  5. Participatory R&D: implementation cycle t1 Step 0 Step 5 Step 1 PR&D cycle t­­0 Step 2 Step 4 Step 3

  6. Step 0: analysis of diversity cycle t1 Step 0 Step 5 Step 1 PR&D cycle t­­0 Identify and characterise the diversity of livelihood strategies within a study area to contextualise a R&D process Step 2 Step 4 Step 3

  7. Step 1: problem identification per selected type(s) cycle t1 Step 0 Identify and prioritise with stakeholders future scenarios, current strategies, challenges and potential solutions Step 5 Step 1 PR&D cycle t­­0 Step 2 Step 4 Step 3

  8. Step 2: action planning per selected type(s) cycle t1 Step 0 Develop innovation platforms in orderto identify and implement potential solutions Step 5 Step 1 PR&D cycle t­­0 Step 2 Step 4 Step 3

  9. Step 3: on-farm experimentation per selected type(s) Put in place and compare promising innovations (endogenous or exogenous) with participants in on-farm (farmer-led) trials cycle t1 Step 0 Step 5 Step 1 PR&D cycle t­­0 Step 2 Step 4 Step 3

  10. Step 4: sharing experiences per selected type(s) cycle t1 Step 0 Evaluate the experiments and look at the lessons learnt Step 5 Step 1 PR&D cycle t­­0 Step 2 Step 4 Step 3

  11. Step 5: impact assessment per selected type(s) cycle t1 cycle t1 Step 0 Step 5 Step 1 Determine whether the proposed innovation brought about positive changes in farmers’ well-being and if these changes are due to the R&D process (as opposed to other interventions) PR&D cycle t­­0 Step 2 Step 4 Step 3

  12. Participatory R&D: overview participation typology household survey research-led farmer-led PR&D research-led

  13. Participatory R&D: recommendations • Organisational arrangements: how can national and international organisations collaborate to promote partner-led processes? • Capacity building: proper facilitation and translation • Up/out-scaling: how can this approach go beyond localised impact? research-led
