Synthesis of the outputs for working group 3, facilitated by Dr. Aden Aw-Hassan of ICARDA, focused on integrated production systems for improving food security and livelihoods in dry areas. The IDOs covered included IDO 3: Women and children in vulnerable households have year round access to greater quantity and diversity of food sources, IDO 6: More integrated, effective and connected service delivery institutions underpinning resilience and system intensification, and IDO 7: Policy reform removing constraints and creating incentives for rural households to engage in more sustainable practices that improve resilience and intensify production. Group 3 covered checking the consistency between activities and outputs and between outputs and IDOs, and the validation and prioritization of activities. For each of the 3 IDO’s the group recommended between 5 and 6 activities for a total of 17 recommended activities. The working group also generated milestones and deliverables to track the progress of each of their IDOs.

IDO 6: More integrated, effective and connected
service delivery institutions underpinning resilience
and system intensification
IDO 7:Policy reform removing constraints and
creating incentives for rural households to engage in
more sustainable practices that improve resilience
and intensify production.

IDOs 367_Indicators
IDOs Indicators
IDO3 1. Number of organizations with equitable women and youth
participation
IDO6 1. Number of well established and effective innovation platforms
2. Number of services provide for extensions trained
3. Number of services provide for workers trained
4. Number of gender oriented service delivery institutions:
- Less potential areas
-- More favorable areas
5. Number of private sector provides using public private
partnerships (PPP) used by the program
IDO7 1. Number of policies adopted by the policy makers in the five
regions
2. Total area under new technologies
3. Number of Adoptions of interventions to intensify production
sustainably
Note: The idea was to make the indictors according to the IDOs
Two sets of indicators: 1- Under the IDO process & 2- Under the actual changes
