)Increased production (but does not always grantee dissemination of a technology and its adoption)

Yield advantage of ≥ 1t over the control yield to 25% of target farmers

35% of target farmers got yield advantage of 0.5 - 1t over the control yield

Are you coming also this year to establish demo plots? We are convinced

that the tech. works– please bring the inoculants

so we grow more for market

Farmers demand for access to input, but also for market link

ILRI-N2Africa organized and functionalized 7 PPP clusters to ensure sustainability (access to input & market, and research )

Pawe Cluster PPP Model on Soybean as Animal FeedMama Union & AKF with the active involvement of ILRI-N2Africa & EIAR-PARC signed contractual agreement and supplying 5000qt of soybean

- Designing and Facilitation of partnerships-Technical support-M&E-Grants and leverage resources

-Evidence generation-M&E, Communication-Technical support -Develop extension materials-Liaise with other VC partners

-Supply inoculants-Trainings on inoculant applications, handling, storage and distribution

- Grain buyer,-Seed access (ACOS variety)-Support trainings on grain quality & grading

Communication & coordination

Following this model, ILRI-N2Africa reached overall > 25,000 farmers (2014 – 2015) on improved legume production technology and made efforts to establish market links (by facilitating contractual agreements for input (inoculant) delivery and output market) .
