The document discusses the scaling plans for various agricultural technologies in the Sinana district of Ethiopia, highlighting crops such as bread wheat, durum wheat, and faba beans, among others. It outlines a collaborative approach involving local partners, research institutions, and farmer mobilization for implementation starting in 2015, with an emphasis on training, technical support, and enabling environments for sustainable agricultural practices. It also notes that the listed technologies may change based on resource availability.

1. Group feedback on Africa
RISING site level scaling plans in
Sinana District, Ethiopia
Addisu Asfaw
ILRI
Africa RISING Ethiopia Review and Planning meeting
Addis Ababa, 2-3 December 2014

2. Scalable Technologies
1.Bread Wheat- Hidase and Bika
2.Duram Wheat- Bekelcha and Ejersa
3. Faba Bean – Moti and Gebelcho
4. Potato- Belete and Gudane
5. Food Barley - Abadane
6. Malt Barley - Bokoji
7.Field Pea – Tulu shenen and Harena -used for double cropping

3. Con’t..
8.Apple (Ana and princisa)
9. Tree Lucerne
10. Oat and Vetch
Management Practices:
-Row planting
-Fertilizer application with micro nutrients
- potato seed storage (DLS)
- Crop rotation
Nb. The technologies listed for scaling are all subject to change
depending on resource and time availability.

4. Scope: scale out/up(within kebele, woreda, beyond)
 For all technologies- within the woreda
4-kebeles (Sanbitu, Basaso, Selka, Shalo)
C. Partnership- All the existing are maintained
-SARC , national research systems (kulumsa), Seed producer
cooperatives,
-MWU
-WBOA
-AGP
- W/irrigation Office
-Local NGO, Union
-Community based institutions at kebele level

5. When to implement
2015 (considering double cropping)
Approaches and Responsibility
-Extension approach will be applied:
 Technologies source (seed) identification (undertaken)
- Research center
- Seed Enterprise
- Union
- MWU
 Mobilization of farmers: Office of Agriculture,
 Training and Facilitation: AR, MWU, Research center, IP TGs,

6.  Enabling environment
 provision of scalable tech package
 Technical support
 Organizing seed producer farmers
 Demonstration
 Field days
 Experience sharing
 Issues Raised:
-Responsibility for input supply provision issue ????

7. CGIAR Project partners
