Presentation made at the CIAT Annual Program Review, May 2011 in Nairobi, Kenya.

1. Highlights of DAPA Program 2010 Annual Program Review 2011 Nairobi, Kenya, 10 May 2011

2. Our vision We strongly believe in the power of information for making better decisions about agricultural and natural resource investments, from the farm- to the global- level. Numbers. Maps. Graphs. Insights. Better public and private policies through engagement

3. Our modus operandi Thematicallydiverse, unitedbyspatial, economic and institutionalanalysis Converting data toinformationtopolicy and decisioninsights Demand-drivenbyother CIAT programs and partnersneeds (principally in LatinAmerica) Eco-efficiency as a guidingprinciple

4. Our objectives and some selected highlights To maximize the impact and returns on investment of agricultural research and development through ex ante and ex post impact assessment To contribute to improved management of critical ecosystem services through pro-poor payment schemes for water and carbon in Latin America To fully understand the likely impacts of climate change on agricultural systems, livelihoods and critical ecosystem services, and identify best-bet adaptation strategies from local to global level To ensure that public and private sector policies provide the opportunity for smallholder farmers to profit from emerging market opportunities

5. Involvement in CRPs 60% in CCAFS (Peter Laderach is CIAT’s contact point) 20% in CRP5: Land and water (Marcela Quintero) 20% in CRP2: income and policy (Mark Lundy - linking farmers to markets)

6. Policy Briefs in CIAT Policy briefs now being published by CIAT Two published, 3 in press, 2 more under-development Only one part of an engagement strategy

7. Impact Targeting and Assessment Continued analysis of impact of rice in LAC Studies on impacts of CIAT’s bean work in East Africa ongoing (environmental benefits and broader scale poverty impact) Major cassava study ongoing in SE Asia We continue to strengthen impact assessment, but we need your help: interest in collaborating, data, stories, budget into projects Two new economists working on agricultural trends in LAC and climate change policy (joint IFPRI positions) Site Specific Agriculture in fruits in Colombia delivering first impacts with 1000s of farmers now enrolled in the program

18. Climate Change Theme Leadership of the CCAFS Challenge Program during 2010 Supported CIAT’s Lead Centre status for the CCAFS CRP, and Andy J leading Theme 1 Grounding Climate Change: Major activities in three countries (Colombia, Jamaica and Guatemala) on whole supply chain adaptation (with Oxfam) Detailed impact studies for Central America, Andes, Latin America and globe published Policy Briefs on climate change implications for agriculture in Colombia, and on coffee for Mesoamerica

21. Karnal (India) Rainy season from June to September

22. Tool for assessing risk of rainfall events which are potential triggers for bean root rot outbreaks (Farrow et al, 2011, Exp. Ag.)

23. Ecosystem Services Water, carbon,biodiversity Development of national methods for calculating opportunity costs for REDD+ developed and included in World Bank training manuals Finalization of the Amazon Spatial Policy Targeting tool online Terra-I deforestation monitoring tool now influencing policy and being used by major players across the continent Broad range of projects in hydrological ecosystem services

24. Resultados Terra-i Tasa de Deforestacion 151,754 Ha/año

25. Terra-i Results Deforestation Rate 3,062,064 Ha/año

26. Colombian savannahs: the next front?

27. Hydrologicalongoingprojects CPWF Project AN2: “Assessing and anticipating the consequences of BenefitSharingMechanisms (BSM) aimed at conserving Ecosystem Services provision in the Andes CIAT-CAR agreement: For evaluating ex ante and ex post impacts of conservation agriculture practices on farm-firm economics, farmer wellbeing, ecosystem services CIAT- Patrimonio Natural: For identifying the ES providing units to be prioritize in Payment for Ecosystem Services schemes in the CORPOGUAVIO’s jurisdiction CIAT –TNC: Hydrological analysis for the design of a PES scheme in Valle del Cauca with sugarcane industry CIAT – CORTOLIMA: Hydrological analysis CIAT-CVS-CORPOICA: Promoting Sustainable Land Management: A Clean Development Mechanism Project in the Caribbean Savanna of Colombia

28. Main achivements (2010-2011) Quantification of ES in watersheds and the identification of their correspondent priority service-providing units, in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru Economic valuation of the benefits derived from ES by downstream ES users in Ecuador and Peru Support in designing BSMs Validation of a CDM carbon sequestration project

29. Linking Farmers to Markets New business models for sustained trading relationships

30. Linking Farmers to Markets Synthesis of PROGRESO methodology for agro-enterprise development post conflict published in policy brief (in press) Now being used by USAID in Plan Colombia (US$350m over next 5 years) Major new projects established in 2010 with: IFAD project focused on analysis and redesign of IFAD LAC approach to market linkage for the poor, and assisting IFAD programs to incorporate novel approaches to market-based solutions to poverty (US$100m+ investments) Ford Foundation: effectiveness of public policy interventions in supply chains as a motor of poverty reduction in Colombia. New model of research in development designed with CRS in Ecuador and Colombia for use across Latin America Impact of value chain fairness study tremendous through GMCR Continued engagement with private sector policy through Sustainable Food Lab

31. Talk about impact through policy engagement US$43k study in 2007 for GMCR Resulted in: US$3.5m development investment from private sector 120,000 families benefitting Feature film “The Thin Months”

32. Challenges The nature of our work relies on short, intense projects (difficult for budget planning) Program leadership –DAPA Program Officer being recruited now Africa: big demands, no money Asia: moderate demands, no money, handled from HQ
