Page 1: Humidtropics Strategic Research Theme 1 – Systems analysis and global synthesis: Presenting Activity 1.1 – Situational analysis

Humidtropics  Strategic  Research  Theme  1  –  Systems  analysis  and  global  synthesis  Presen;ng  Ac;vity  1.1  –  Situa;onal  analysis  

Jean-­‐Joseph  Cadilhon*,  Keith  Child*,  Jessica  Raneri‡,  Tim  Robinson*,  Steve  Staal*,  Nils  Teufel*    

*  Interna)onal  Livestock  Research  Ins)tute  ‡  Bioversity  Interna)onal  

Objec;ves    1.  Broadly  characterize  all  important  aspects  of  relevance  to  

the  Program  within  the  target  ac)on  sites.  2.  Inform  all  other  Program  ac)vi)es  in  the  context  of  

aDaining  the  Intermediate  Development  Objec)ves  (IDOs),  as  well  as  ongoing  field  site  selec)on.  

3.  Ini)ate  and  facilitate  engagement  with  stakeholders  and  partners  as  part  of  the  R4D  plaOorm  development  that  is  needed  for  the  long  term  success  and  scalability  of  the  Program.  

Methods  1.  Literature  review  from  previous  research  and  project  

reports  on:    •  Development  overview  •  Agricultural  produc)on  systems  •  Markets  and  ins)tu)ons  •  Natural  resources  management  

2.  Collec)on  of  secondary  data  from  interna)onal  sta)s)cal  sources,  na)onal  sta)s)cs  offices,  past  research  and  development  projects  

3.  Analysis  and  synthesis  of  secondary  data  gathered  to  iden)fy  main  constraints  to  the  systems  

4.  Focus  group  discussions  with  a  cross-­‐system  selec)on  of  key  stakeholders  to  validate  the  findings  from  secondary  data  analysis  and  gather  sugges)ons  on  interven)ons  of  par)cular  relevance  to  the  systems  under  study  

 

Pictures  

Links  with  other  Humidtropics  ac;vi;es  •  Constraints  iden)fied  and  interven)ons  suggested  inform  

setup  of  integrated  research-­‐and-­‐development  ac)vi)es  •  Holis)c  broad  picture  of  inter-­‐related  components  

provides  hypotheses  for  systems  modelling  ac)vi)es  •  Nucleus  of  stakeholders  involved  can  seed  the  

development  of  R4D  plaOorms  in  the  ac)on  site  •  Key  sta)s)cs  cons)tute  a  baseline  for  monitoring  

contribu)on  to  IDOs  across  ac)on  sites  

Expected  results    •  One  50-­‐page  report  on  the  broad  situa)on  of  the  

agricultural  produc)on,  marke)ng  and  natural  resources  management  systems  in  the  ac)on  site  

•  Data  sets  of  secondary  data  compiled  and  available  online    •  A  set  of  key  and  comparable  sta)s)cs  on  Humidtropics  

ac)on  sites  •  Key  stakeholders  and  development  partners  iden)fied  and  

engaged  to  contribute  further  to  Humidtropics  ac)vi)es  

Resources  needed    •  One  Humidtropics  coordinator  of  situa)onal  analysis  at  ac)on  site  level  (10%  of  staff-­‐)me  during  six  months)  •  Ten  experts  of  local  produc)on,  marke)ng,  and  natural  resources  management  systems  to  cons)tute  a  supervisory  commiDee  for  

the  situa)onal  analysis  and  undertake  focus  group  discussions  (one  local  expert  also  holds  a  Secretarial  role  for  the  commiDee)    •  Two  na)onal  consultants  fluent  in  the  na)onal  language  to  collect  and  analyse  secondary  data  and  report  on  findings    •  Budget  for  local  travel,  sta)onary,  focus  group  discussions,  supervisory  commiDee  mee)ngs  and  final  write-­‐shop  to  produce  the  

situa)onal  analysis  report  •  Es)mated  all-­‐encompassing  budget:  US$70  000/na)onal  ac)on  site.
