Africa RISING In The Ethiopian Highlands:
An Overview of the Second Phase
Kindu Mekonnen and Peter Thorne
ILRI, Ethiopia
CGIAR partners meeting with internally
commissioned external reviewers
Nairobi, 30 September 2019
Discussion points
1. Background
2. Focusses, targets and operational
areas
3. Processes/ approaches followed to
implement plans
4. Achievements
5. Opportunities and challenges
 One Program - four Projects.
o Mixed Cereal-Legume-Livestock systems in West
Africa
o Mixed Cereal-Legume-Livestock systems in
East/Southern Africa
o Crop-Livestock systems in the Ethiopian
Highlands
o M&E and data management
 Funded by USAID BFS through the FtF initiatives.
 Duration: 2012- Sept 2016 (Phase I) and Oct 2016-2021
(Phase II).
Africa RISING- Africa Research In Sustainable
Intensification for the Next Generation
1. Background
2. Focus, targets and operational areas
 Focus on SI of mixed farming systems to contribute to:
o climate smart development- food security
o gender equitable development
o improved nutrition
o income diversification
o build human and institutional capacities
 Conduct multi-disciplinary action research for
development.
 Facilitate scaling through development partnership
arrangements
 Preliminary targets: 0.7 million direct beneficiary hhs
with the potential to scale to a further 3.4 million hhs.
 The project operates in four regions (Amhara, Tigray,
Oromia and SNNPR) in the highlands of Ethiopia.
3. Processes/ approaches
followed to facilitate and
implement plans
 Packed information/evidences on
validated innovations (fact sheets).
 Identified potential scaling DPs
 Created awareness on validated
innovations (face to face meetings
and discussions, workshops, IPs).
 Compiled engagements/ interests of
DPs in scaling- templates (which
innovation/s, where, how many hhs
and when?).
 Built capacities (ToT on innovations,
provided limited amount of starter
seeds/ germplasm for multiplication).
 Continued conducting R4D to
increase technological options related
4. Achievements
Scaling:
 In 2017 and 2018 alone, the project
has managed to reach and benefit
more than 136,363 hhs with its
validated technologies. This
equates to a land area of 64,136
ha.
 Geographical and administrative
coverage of the project has
increased from four to 28 woredas
and four to seven zones.
Capacity development:
 More than 15283 partners
have been enrolled in
training and knowledge-
sharing forums in 2017
and 2018.
 The project attached more
than 37 postgraduate
students for their thesis and
dissertation research (Phase
1 and 2).
Research:
Research for development- examples
o Cultivated forages and management
practices
o PVS - cereal, food legume and oil crop
varieties
o Productivity and quality of HVFTs
o Use options of small-scale
mechanizations
o Fertilizer blends
o Water lifting, delivery and application
o Evidence generation- landscape
restoration, soil and nutrient loss,
hydrology-sedimentation
Backstopping research for scaling-
examples
o Nutrition and gender
o Enset – adoptability/ scaling, benefits

5. Opportunities and challenges
Opportunities:
o Availability of a number of CGIAR centers and local partners
that have interest to work with the project.
o Favorable government extension structure and agricultural
policies that align with the AR program research and
development goals.
o Increased demand on AR validated technologies/
innovations.
Challenges:
o Uncertainties and late release of funds
o More resources expectation from partners
o Ambitious five years target and dropouts of some CGIAR
partners
o Less organized approaches to track dissemination (formal
and informal) of AR validated technologies/ innovations

Africa RISING in The Ethiopian Highlands: An Overview of the Second Phase

  • 1. Africa RISING In The Ethiopian Highlands: An Overview of the Second Phase Kindu Mekonnen and Peter Thorne ILRI, Ethiopia CGIAR partners meeting with internally commissioned external reviewers Nairobi, 30 September 2019
  • 2. Discussion points 1. Background 2. Focusses, targets and operational areas 3. Processes/ approaches followed to implement plans 4. Achievements 5. Opportunities and challenges
  • 3.  One Program - four Projects. o Mixed Cereal-Legume-Livestock systems in West Africa o Mixed Cereal-Legume-Livestock systems in East/Southern Africa o Crop-Livestock systems in the Ethiopian Highlands o M&E and data management  Funded by USAID BFS through the FtF initiatives.  Duration: 2012- Sept 2016 (Phase I) and Oct 2016-2021 (Phase II). Africa RISING- Africa Research In Sustainable Intensification for the Next Generation 1. Background
  • 4. 2. Focus, targets and operational areas  Focus on SI of mixed farming systems to contribute to: o climate smart development- food security o gender equitable development o improved nutrition o income diversification o build human and institutional capacities  Conduct multi-disciplinary action research for development.  Facilitate scaling through development partnership arrangements  Preliminary targets: 0.7 million direct beneficiary hhs with the potential to scale to a further 3.4 million hhs.  The project operates in four regions (Amhara, Tigray, Oromia and SNNPR) in the highlands of Ethiopia.
  • 5. 3. Processes/ approaches followed to facilitate and implement plans  Packed information/evidences on validated innovations (fact sheets).  Identified potential scaling DPs  Created awareness on validated innovations (face to face meetings and discussions, workshops, IPs).  Compiled engagements/ interests of DPs in scaling- templates (which innovation/s, where, how many hhs and when?).  Built capacities (ToT on innovations, provided limited amount of starter seeds/ germplasm for multiplication).  Continued conducting R4D to increase technological options related
  • 6. 4. Achievements Scaling:  In 2017 and 2018 alone, the project has managed to reach and benefit more than 136,363 hhs with its validated technologies. This equates to a land area of 64,136 ha.  Geographical and administrative coverage of the project has increased from four to 28 woredas and four to seven zones.
  • 7. Capacity development:  More than 15283 partners have been enrolled in training and knowledge- sharing forums in 2017 and 2018.  The project attached more than 37 postgraduate students for their thesis and dissertation research (Phase 1 and 2).
  • 8. Research: Research for development- examples o Cultivated forages and management practices o PVS - cereal, food legume and oil crop varieties o Productivity and quality of HVFTs o Use options of small-scale mechanizations o Fertilizer blends o Water lifting, delivery and application o Evidence generation- landscape restoration, soil and nutrient loss, hydrology-sedimentation Backstopping research for scaling- examples o Nutrition and gender o Enset – adoptability/ scaling, benefits

  • 10. 5. Opportunities and challenges Opportunities: o Availability of a number of CGIAR centers and local partners that have interest to work with the project. o Favorable government extension structure and agricultural policies that align with the AR program research and development goals. o Increased demand on AR validated technologies/ innovations. Challenges: o Uncertainties and late release of funds o More resources expectation from partners o Ambitious five years target and dropouts of some CGIAR partners o Less organized approaches to track dissemination (formal and informal) of AR validated technologies/ innovations
