ICRISAT Global Planning Meeting 2019:CGIAR Research Program new initiatives DryArc

  1. PC Item 5.3.ii New CGIAR initiatives DryArc Climate Change Preliminary submissions to the SMO for multi –centre/disciplinary/year initiatives targeting new ideas/regions/funding sources – 2019- 2030 business plan.
  2. Innovation in Agri-food Systems as a driver of Employment, Nutrition and Resilience in Fragile Drylands (Dry Arc) The ‘DryArc’ Initiative (ICARDA, ICRISAT, IFPRI, IWMI) aims to strengthen the resilience of rural communities and agri-food systems across the drylands of MENA, Central and West Asia, sub Saharan Africa. Responds to 5 major drivers (1) Rapid economic and nutritional transitions in urban-rural areas (e.g. Egypt) (2) Rural-urban migration (e.g. Cairo, Ibadan) (3) Cross-border water resource disputes (e.g. Ethiopia, Sudan, Kenya, Egypt) (4) Protracted conflicts around resource allocations between agriculture and pastoralism (e.g. Burkina Faso, Mali, Nigeria) (5) Conflict, post-conflict and peace building with population displacements (e.g. Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Mali, Sudan, Eritrea, Somalia)

  5. DryArc Target three ecologies: Irrigated system, rainfed systems and agro- pastoral systems. Outcomes: (1) A portfolio of innovations assessed for their validity domain and enabling environment. (2) Ex-post/ex-ante integrated analysis of impacts on nutrition, farm household livelihood and natural resource management under climate change (3) Evidence of the impact in-farm and off-farm labor - impacts on migration, restauration of agriculture in post-conflict regions (4) Enhanced capacities of public and private sectors for the implementation of policies, institutions and markets
  6. Climate Change - The 2 degree initiative for agriculture and food systems Aim: make use of the 50 years plus of CGIAR work to tailor information for policy processes, embrace digital agriculture as a means of scaling , create new innovative partnerships with the private sector, financial institutions and actors.
  7. Grand Challenges #1. Tackling heat impacts on crops in three global food-baskets #2. Foster transformation in irrigation; safe and sustainable solar irrigation for smallholders in climate hotspots in SSA. #3. Preparing for saline intrusion, sea-level rise and flooding in coastal Asia #4. Building climate-resilient rural livelihoods in the Middle East and North Africa #5. Ecosystem-based adaptation through restoration agriculture in climate vulnerable hotspots in SSA. #6. Enhancing carbon for mitigation and resilience in threatened tropical forests #7. Supporting low emissions livestock production (East Africa, India, and Brazil) + Pests and Disease?
  8. Theory of change - Five key elements to achieve transformed food systems.
  9. Questions / recommendations for the GB 1. General comment on the strategic pitch and proposed geographical targets of the proposals.
  10. Thank You
