West Africa Review & Planning workshop
Elective combinations of component technologies (crop/tree, livestock, and water/soil) addressing location specific, priority commodities will improve HH productivity and nutrition and enhance income Project research outputs addressed: 1 and 2
Hypothesis one (addresses Research hypothesis 1)
Tested and piloted combinations of component technologies (crop/tree, livestock, and water/soil) addressing increase productivity of market led (demand driven) commodities are more likely to be adopted by HH to increase income and improve nutrition Project research outputs addressed: 1, 2 and 3
Hypothesis two (addresses research hypothesis 2)
Output 1 activities Baseline survey (including nutritional status and food
consumption) (IFPRI) Diagnostic survey Yield gap survey Establishment and operation of MSPs
Output 2 activities Introduce, test and validate technologies 1. Crop varieties (cereals, legumes and vegetables)2. Livestock (poultry, small ruminants, pigs, Milk )3. Soil and water management
Hypothesis 1: Activities
Output 2 activities
Hypothesis 1: Activities
Output 1 activities Market sector analysis Introduce, test and adapt labour saving devices Evaluate nutrition and processing quality characteristics
is affected by soil types and fertilizer Assess and improve processing methods that retain
more nutrients Introduce and test the acceptability of nutritionally
enhanced crops
Hypothesis 2: Activities
Output 2 Training on all components of the value chain
Writing team? Specific individuals?
Research team? Generic functions required? Specific institutions and individuals?
Who should be part of the research team for hypothesis 1?
Development partners Other ‘knowledge’ partners Specific institutions (and individuals)?
Who could we partner with around hypothesis 1?
Relating to program hypotheses: Activities (specify in table)
Hypothesis 2:
Writing team? Specific individuals?
Research team? Generic expertise required? Specific institutions and individuals?
Who should be part of the research team for hypothesis 2?
Development partners Other ‘knowledge’ partners Specific institutions (and individuals)?
Who could we partner with around hypothesis 2?
