This document outlines a global research partnership called CRP5 that focuses on sustainable intensification of agriculture. It aims to intensify farming while protecting natural resources and ecosystems. Its research will focus on water scarcity, land degradation, and ecosystem services. It will take a landscape approach across several river basins in different regions. The research involves partnerships across countries to improve agricultural productivity, livelihoods, and the environment for over 100 million people dependent on agriculture in river basins.

Ethiopian Experience in Irrigatiion Development by Mr. Zena Habtewold BiruMalabo-Montpellier-Panel
ย
The Ethiopian irrigation success story was the focus of the webinar organised by the Malabo Montpellier Panel on 14th February 2019, based on their second report, Water-Wise: Smart Irrigation Strategies for Africa, which summarizes the key findings of a systematic analysis of what six African countries at the forefront of progress on irrigation have done right: Ethiopia, Kenya, Mali, Morocco, Niger and South Africa.
The guest speaker and author of this presentation, Mr. Zena Habtewold Biru, Director of the Planning Monitoring and Evaluation Directorate at the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) and Focal Person for the Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Program (CAADP) discussed the case of Ethiopiaโs remarkable growth in irrigation expansion over the last years, and the concrete practical steps that the government took to become one of the leading African countries in terms of agricultural irrigation, thereby reducing unemployment, poverty rate and malnutrition.
During the seminar Mr. Zena Habtewold Biru discussed the following questions:
โขWhat did Ethiopia do differently?
โขWhat are the main institutional innovations?
โขWhat are the key policy measures?
โขWhat are the countryโs major programs and interventions?
โขHow and what did it take to mobilize the government to uptake strong regulatory frameworks that govern irrigation and the use of water in agriculture?
โขWhat are the practical lessons for other Africans to learn from and to adapt to the context of their own countries?

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
ย
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

2. The Challenge โ sustainable
intensification
โข To learn how to intensify farming
activities, expand agricultural areas and
restore degraded lands, while using natural
resources wisely and minimizing harmful
impacts on supporting ecosystems.
4. The Conceptual Framework
CRP5 focuses on external and internal drivers of change in agriculture, how these
affect water, landscapes and ecosystem services and how policy and
management changes can be used to adapt production systems in a sustainable
manner
5. Five Strategic Research Portfolios
1. Irrigated Systems
2. Rainfed Systems
3. Resource Reuse and Recovery
4. River Basins, and
5. Information Systems
6. Two cross-cutting themes
1) Ecosystem Services, and
2) Institutions and Governance
Gender and equity issues are also mainstreamed
7. Where we will work
Southeast Asia Mekong
South Asia Indus and Ganges
Central Asia Amu Darya and Syr Darya
Middle East Tigris and Euphrates
West Africa Volta and Niger
East Africa Nile
Southern Africa Limpopo and Zambezi
Latin America Andes basins
8. Examples of problem sets for each Strategic
Research Portfolio
Irrigated Systems SRP
โข Finally unlocking Africaโs irrigation promise
โข Revitalizing public irrigation systems in Asia
โข Managing groundwater overexploitation in India through the energyโirrigation
nexus
โข Revving up the โGanges Water Machineโ through intensive groundwater use for
livelihoods and environmental benefits
โข Managing saltโwater balance in Indus and Central Asian irrigation systems
Rainfed Systems SRP
โข Recapitalizing African soils and reducing land degradation
โข Revitalizing productivity on responsive soils
โข Using agro-biodiversity to sustain agricultural production
โข Reducing risk by ensuring water access for pastoralists
โข Reducing risk by providing farmers with supplemental irrigation
Resource Recovery and Reuse SRP
โข Creating wealth from waste
โข A grey revolution in wastewater management
9. Problem sets (cont.)
Basins SRP
โข Payment for Environmental Services (PES) as a water management tool:
Andes group of basins
โข Water storage to reduce regional drought risk: VoltaโNiger
โข Integrating environmental water allocations and climate change impacts
with water resources development: GangesโIndus
โข Harmonizing the waterโenergyโenvironment nexus in the Mekong Basin
โข Managing water resources to reduce poverty and improve wetland
management in the upstream Nile
โข Solutions for transboundary water management hotspots in transition
economies: Aral Sea basins
Information Systems SRP
โข Monitoring longer-term spatial and temporal change in agroecosystems
โข Harnessing water and land information to improve management
10. Problem definition
Issues motivating CRP5 research
โข Most of the poor live in rural areas (except in Egypt)
and most make their living in agriculture.
โข Egypt and Ethiopia have large populations and are
growing at notable rates. Ethiopiaโs plans to develop
hydropower and irrigation tend to meet resistance
from Egypt.
โข Unsustainable agricultural practices have inflicted
upon Ethiopia some of the most severe land
degradation problems in the world.
โข Accelerated soil erosion from agricultural land poses
a threat to the health of Lake Victoria. There is
substantial poverty in Sudan, despite notable
agricultural potential, particularly in the Gezira
region. There is very little information on the current
state of land resources to guide development in
South Sudan.
11. CRP5 Research Activities in the Nile Basin
โข Examine opportunities for improving agricultural productivity in irrigated areas of
the Nile Valley and Delta, given the likelihood of increasing pressure on water
supplies in the region.
โข Develop recommendations for investing in new irrigation schemes in Ethiopia and
Sudan, while cognizant of international discourse regarding new water
development in the Nile Basin.
โข Develop strong technical capacity in the Nile countries in surface and groundwater
resources assessment and management.
โข Develop options for recovering water and nutrients from marginal quality water
and other waste resources for agriculture and aquaculture.
โข Establish a basin-wide land health surveillance system to provide a baseline on
ecosystem services, a basis for prioritizing interventions, and mechanism for
monitoring impacts. Ground sampling through sentinel sites will be a high priority
in Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and South Sudan.
Potential impacts
Basin population:
200 million
Rural population:
128 million
Agricultural population:
102 million
We expect to improve the livelihoods of 60% of the agricultural population.
12. How CRP5 will improve natural resource management and
the environment
โข Involving, from the outset, key stakeholders via participation in research and
development
โข Achieving critical mass among the CGIAR and its partners to solve key problems
โข Integrating biophysical solutions and socioeconomic drivers to develop a holistic
view of possible beneficial changes
โข Taking an evidence-based approach based on a logical pathway via hypotheses and
methodologies to develop solutions and catalyze change at policy level
โข Adopting an integrated landscape/basin approach, as opposed to focusing on
single issues
โข Viewing agriculture as part of the solution not the cause of the problem
โข Harnessing the private sector and NGOs to help deliver solutions
โข Using information systems and technology to ensure the message gets to farmers
and land and water managers
โข Being clear about the development outcomes we wish to achieve and using
adaptive management approaches to achieve them
โข Developing appropriate partnerships at science, policy and implementation levels,
and clearly defining responsibilities and accountabilities
13. Gender and Equity
CRP5โs gender and poverty strategy will ensure that its outcomes target not only to the poor in general,
but also women farmers.
The specific objectives are to:
โข ensure that all research and associated work undertaken in CRP5 is pro-poor and benefits both men
and women
โข ensure that, where appropriate, all data are sex-disaggregated and analyzed from the perspective
of gender and other factors that relate to equity issues
โข examine the extent to which male and female farmers have different adoption rates and identify
gender-specific barriers that may work against adoption
โข identify gender bias in agricultural policy and in extension systems
โข improve womenโs access to and involvement in the management of major resources, including
land, water, infrastructure and other public services
โข develop gender-sensitive policies for land and water management.
A conference on gender will be held in the inception phase to ensure that projects will incorporate key
local and regional gender issues.
