           Regional Inception Workshop East and Southern Africa
                         Nairobi, 5-7 June 2012
Dry areas = water scarcity, limited and vulnerable natural resources, climatic variability,
and a diverse and complex mix of pastoral, agro-pastoral, mixed rainfed and irrigated
production systems requiring an integrated agro-ecosystems approach to research for
development

CRP1.1: Integrated and Sustainable
  Agricultural Production Systems for
Improved Food Security and Livelihoods
              in Dry Areas
  Learning, growing, spiral impact
  pathway
  1. Traditional research-for-
     development impact pathway
     includes four steps: research,
     outputs, outcomes and
     impact.

  2. CRP1.1 views these steps not
     as a linear sequence, but as
     an upward spiral of learning
     and growing.

  3. This results in an iterative
     research cycle, with
     continuous improvement in
     technologies.
“Following the Impact pathway backwards” (in proposal)

CRP1.1 Integrated and Sustainable
  Agricultural Production Systems for
Improved Food Security and Livelihoods
              in Dry Areas

A systems approach for sustainable,
profitable dryland agro-ecosystems
1.   Much research focuses on individual
     components of an ecosystem, in isolation, in
     a reductionist way. This leads to limited
     impacts on the ground (bottom).            =
     LOW LEVEL OF INTEGRATION

2.   Dryland agro-ecosystem’ farmers’ reality
     involves complex and dynamic relationships
     between multiple components: soil, water,
     crops, vegetables, livestock, trees, fish …
     and people.          = HIGH LEVEL OF
     INTEGRATION

3.   Researchers should join farmers, livestock
     keepers, foresters, and fishers, focusing on
     integrated systems. Then understanding
     increases, research becomes demand-
     driven, and outputs are aligned to user’s
     needs.
CRP1.1 / Dryland Systems focuses on two agro-ecosystems

1.   Reducing vulnerability               Circles/ovals indicate
2.   Sustainable intensification          the 5 Target Regions.
Distinction between focus on reduced vulnerability and risk and
focus on sustainable intensification : there are transition zones

  • 4. CRP1.1: Integrated and Sustainable Agricultural Production Systems for Improved Food Security and Livelihoods in Dry Areas Learning, growing, spiral impact pathway 1. Traditional research-for- development impact pathway includes four steps: research, outputs, outcomes and impact. 2. CRP1.1 views these steps not as a linear sequence, but as an upward spiral of learning and growing. 3. This results in an iterative research cycle, with continuous improvement in technologies.
  • 5. “Following the Impact pathway backwards” (in proposal) CRP Objective / Performance Information needed Operational level targets Performance GOAL / IMPACT Characterization of Action Sites in terms of the System Level Outcomes (SLO) Targets System Level Outcomes:  Reduce rural poverty: Number of poor and spatial distribution …. other indicators?  Increase food security: Food Insecurity Index ….. other indicators?  Improve nutrition and health: Number of undernourished children … other indicators?  Ensure more sustainable management of natural resources: soil, water, agrobiodiversity, grasslands…….other indicators?

  • 6. CRP1.1 Integrated and Sustainable Agricultural Production Systems for Improved Food Security and Livelihoods in Dry Areas A systems approach for sustainable, profitable dryland agro-ecosystems 1. Much research focuses on individual components of an ecosystem, in isolation, in a reductionist way. This leads to limited impacts on the ground (bottom). = LOW LEVEL OF INTEGRATION 2. Dryland agro-ecosystem’ farmers’ reality involves complex and dynamic relationships between multiple components: soil, water, crops, vegetables, livestock, trees, fish … and people. = HIGH LEVEL OF INTEGRATION 3. Researchers should join farmers, livestock keepers, foresters, and fishers, focusing on integrated systems. Then understanding increases, research becomes demand- driven, and outputs are aligned to user’s needs.
  • 7. CRP1.1 / Dryland Systems focuses on two agro-ecosystems 1. Reducing vulnerability Circles/ovals indicate 2. Sustainable intensification the 5 Target Regions.
  • 8. Distinction between focus on reduced vulnerability and risk and focus on sustainable intensification : there are transition zones Productivity high Vulnerability high Focus on sustainable Focus on reduced intensification vulnerability and risk (SRT 3) (SRT 2) low low Dryland livelihood system trajectory (different states) - lower resilience and productivity higher resilience and productivity +
