Notes de l'éditeur
- Points to make (from Boru): Why our core principles ? Learned from experience that: Partnership -- Research won’t be relevant nor research outputs put into use without partnership; networking Capacity development -- Making change happen often requires changes in peoples’ knowledge, attitudes and skills, through capacity development Adaptive management -- Real world problems are complex and dynamic, goal post shift, opportunities emerge. Projects, BDCs and the Program must be able to learn, spot opportunity and take advantage of it to really make a difference Gender and diversity -- We work to benefit women, youth, socially excluded Interdisciplinary integration -- Real world problems are complex and multifaceted and unlikely to fall to single disciplinary research Accountability – we ensure our accountability to our stakeholders while also working to improve accountability systems impacting on water productivity and livelihoods [Suggest don’t go through all, pick your top two] Linking research to impact: We carefully chose compelling basin development challenges to motivate people to get on the bus We then invest early-on in mapping out pathways to the desired outcomes and impact. These pathways, or road maps (for the bus) link the research we do, how we do it (guided by core principles) to changes in next user and end user knowledge, attitude, skills and practice. Agreeing these outcome pathways, and who needs to do what, when, helps ensure programmatic coherence and helps set priorities. The road map can change, indeed we expect it to change, once the journey begins (adaptive management). We manage our program to allow that to happen (part of what makes us different). We systematically seek insight across our projects and basins by: Being guided by conceptual frameworks the CPWF sees useful to guide practice and to which it seeks to help develop (e.g., Resilience, MUS, Innovation Systems) Setting up and supporting Topic Working Groups as a mechanism for doing 1) Setting up our 28 projects as experiments into how research does (and does not) foster innovation and developmental change Other key elements to add (left in from Amanda) here by speaking to the slide (if not mentioned before) Projects contribute to achieving the BDC (hence should adhere to core principles) Basin focus but mechanisms in place to ensure cross basin learning (covered by the previous slide if needed) Team in place to make integrated process work Ability to scale up, replicate, influence and contribute to policy change
- The CPWF Volta basin team focus on institutional and technical mechanisms to develop, maintain and sustain small reservoirs and other rainwater management approaches to improve the livelihoods of the poor in the dry‐lands of Burkina Faso and Northern Ghana, taking into ac‐count implications for downstream users. The aim is to improve the resilience and livelihoods of the people and ecosystems
- How to achieve these? Through four interdependent research projects and one coordination project challenges and opportunities of working across Ghana and BF (linguistic, cultural, socio-economic, etc) - wider macro economic and political environment in West Africa makes this R4D particularly timely - with BDC taking a multi-scale approach and integrating institutional arrangements, governance issues, technical initiatives and strong hydrology and soil perspective - BDC team is well positioned to contribute to improved livelihoods in the basin - region particularly hard hit by and vulnerable to both global food price hike and global financial changes - Builds on strength of Phase 1, particularly SRP and BFP
- To enhance impacts of on-going policy initiatives in the Volta basin
- A first step is to map the project focus areas and document what kind of research is taking place at the different sites. and for what expected outcome
- Actor analysis: relative importance a influence processes involved in decision making, how learning and uptake take place
