6. Natureof ‘critical entrypoints’
Proposal:
1. SRT1(situationanalysis) will definecritical entrypointsbased
onadetailedcharacterizationof theActionAreasandActionSites
(whereopportunities will bedefined) andthesewill betranslatedinto
specificinterventions, implementedthroughtheR4DPlatforms
operatingat theActionSitelevel
2. CEPs shouldaddressproductivity, markets/institutions, and/or
NRMissues, dependingonthe‘baseline’ situation
3. CEPs shouldbefarmer-typology-specific(withvisibleemphasis
ongender)
