Mutual Benefits of Collaboration

Mutual Benefits of Collaboration

PABRA serves as integrating Umbrella

Examples of Current Seed System-related projects

• TLII (Kenya + Ethiopia) • McKnight (Malawi, Moz., S. Tanzania) • (HP+- DRC and Rwanda)

• AGRA ( a number of PABRA country members) nber

• PABRA-funded directly

– Uganda – DRC – Zambia

– Zimbabwe

Seed Systems Trends in PABRA 2003-2008

•  Programmatic and impact oriented seed systems

•  Target 2.5 million households but reach

7.5 households

•  Development of M+E for tracking and learning lessons

Contributing factors

Linking Variety Development to :

–  Efficient release or variety users’ acceptance

–  Engagement of partners and sharing responsibility

–  Linking variety development to bean users/value chain actors and systems

Seed Systems Trend in PABRA (cont’nd) 2009-2013

•  Set higher objectives •  Strategies:

– Optimizing the role of private sector Strengthen

– Private and Public sector partnership

– Strengthen seed systems to output marketing/utilizations

– Strengthen platforms

Seed Systems PABRA TLII

• Developed knowledge, skills and tools by PABRA helped to strengthen Bean seed systems in TLII countries (Ethiopia and Kenya): – Both countries are members of PABRA – Understanding of seed systems – Linking to the bean value chain actors – Partnership development – Information tools and their wider uses

Seed Systems TLII-8.3 PABRA

Opportunity to add value :

•  Commercialization of small packs •  Seed quality monitoring and risks associated •  Cost of seed production •  M&E Systems to understand who is reached

Seed Systems TLII-8.3 --PABRA

Domestication and scaling up of promising approaches – e.g. small packs in other PABRA countries

Malawi, Zambia, SA in small scale farming systems Uganda Rwanda Cameroon Burundi Tz
