Innovation systems research: where we came from and where we could goFrancois Stepman
This document discusses the history and evolution of agricultural innovation systems (AIS) research. It describes how AIS emerged in the 1990s as a way to better understand how technology is adopted by farmers. Over time, AIS research shifted from measuring impact to taking a more systems perspective and learning how to improve international agricultural research management. Case studies explored what innovation systems look like in practice. While AIS approaches are now common, some of the original goals around institutional change and understanding causal links to impact have been lost. The document argues ICRISAT is well-placed to advance AIS thinking by applying it as an operational strategy, research framework, and way to frame organizational discussions.
The document discusses global foresight modeling to guide sustainable intensification for smallholder systems. It describes the CGIAR's Global Futures and Strategic Foresight project which uses quantitative modeling to project global agriculture and assess technology and policy options. While useful at a macro scale, the models have limitations for smallholders due to their focus on international trade and lack of farm-level details. The new BioSight project aims to improve on this by combining biophysical and economic analysis using household data to directly model crop-livestock intensification strategies and tradeoffs.

In 2003 IFPRI released the results of Next Harvest, a study that compiled and analyzed the first comprehensive database of publically-developed genetically modified crops under development in non-industrialized countries. Since then, several regional and national efforts have been made to update this database and expand Next Harvest findings. Nevertheless, to this day there are no comprehensive data about the state of biotechnology in developing countries, that takes into account both traditional and modern biotechnologies under development by the public and private sector. In particular, in Africa the lack of standardized and uniformly collected data is limiting the ability to assess the overall state of Africa’s agricultural biotechnology capacity and draw policy recommendations regarding countries’ strengths and needs. To begin to fill this gap, IFPRI has started gathering information using standard data collection protocols in four countries in Africa. This study presents the results for Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, and Uganda and shows the differences and similarities among their state of biotech development. South Africa, clearly the leader in biotech adoption in the continent, is a country where agricultural biotechnology has been mainstreamed in a significant number of agricultural research institutes. Nigeria, on the other hand, has had more difficulties developing and implementing biotechnologies. Kenya and Uganda maintain a solid portfolio of agricultural biotechnology research but still face institutional and human and financial resource limitations. Drawing from the rich data collected, the study identifies the opportunities and challenges and makes policy recommendations to address current limitations.
The document summarizes a meeting to design a baseline survey for Nigeria's Zero Hunger initiative. It discusses the SDG goals around ending hunger and malnutrition. Nine subcommittees will be formed to focus on key issues. A draft baseline survey design was presented, including collecting household and secondary data across four states. Core development indicators were proposed to measure progress across themes like income, health, nutrition, agriculture and ICT access. Participants will discuss the survey and household questionnaire. The meeting aims to establish a common understanding of the baseline process and finalize plans and indicators for conducting the survey.

Rice is the most consumed cereal in Senegal, accounting for 34% of total cereal consumption. Per capita consumption is 80-90kg annually, though there is an urban-rural divide. While domestic production has doubled between 2010-2021, it still only meets 40% of demand. As a result, Senegal imports around 1 million tons annually, mainly from India and Thailand. Several public policies aim to incentivize domestic production and stabilize prices, though rice remains highly exposed to international price shocks due to its importance in consumption and reliance on imports.

It summarizes the purpose and features of the PEPA Sourcebook, which is a guide for generating evidence to inform national food, land, and water policies and strategies. The Sourcebook includes frameworks, analytical tools, case studies, and step-by-step guidance for conducting political economy and policy analysis. It aims to address the current fragmentation in approaches and lack of external validity by integrating different frameworks and methods into a single resource. The launch event highlighted example frameworks and case studies from the Sourcebook that focus on various policy domains like food and nutrition, land, and climate and ecology.
- Rice exports from Myanmar have exceeded 2 million tons per year since 2019-2020, except for 2020-2021 during the peak of the pandemic. Exports through seaports now account for around 80% of total exports.
- Domestic rice prices in Myanmar have closely tracked Thai export prices, suggesting strong linkages between domestic and international markets.
- Simulations of a 10% decrease in rice productivity and a 0.4 million ton increase in exports in 2022-2023 resulted in a 33% increase in domestic prices, a 5% fall in production, and a 10% drop in consumption, with poor households suffering the largest declines in rice consumption of 12-13%.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

Foresight Initiative: goals & approach
To provide the evidence and capacity needed to inform the complex
choices that will shape the future of food, land and water systems, this
initiative will, in close interaction with decision-makers at multiple levels:
1. Develop a common information base on major medium- and long-term future
challenges and strategic opportunities at global and regional scales, with a particular focus
on developing areas
2. Work closely with national partners on foresight analyses to inform policy and
investment decisions, with special attention to climate variability, risk and resilience
3. Enhance access to and transparency of foresight tools and systems-relevant metrics
4. Enhance partners’ foresight capacity and ownership through collaborative research
and structured training programs
