Exploiting opportunities in intra-regional trade in food staples in COMESA re...ILRI
This document summarizes a presentation on opportunities for increased intra-regional trade in food staples within the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) region. High poverty and food insecurity levels exist in many COMESA countries. While maize production varies significantly between countries, all face high and increasing food price volatility. The region has potential for expanded trade due to its large combined market, varying agricultural zones and production seasons, and existing informal cross-border trade. However, challenges include high transport costs, non-tariff barriers to trade between countries, and lack of market information. The presentation recommends integrated regional approaches and policies to address food security, investment in market information systems and infrastructure, and elimination of barriers

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Adversity as opportunity: Complexity and diversity as new frontiers in development research, October 2008
1. Adversity as opportunity
Complexity and diversity as new
frontiers in development research
Carlos Sere, ILRI
2. Main propositions
• The ‘big’ challenges we face today are not
‘simple’, they arise out of dynamic
complexity
• To address them we will require new
approaches:
– Programmatically
– Organisationally
3. Complex challenges
• Often have many causes, interacting in
complex and conditional ways;
• Causes and consequences are often
scale-dependent, or operate across
scales;
• Sometimes have their roots in differences
in human value systems.
6. The growth in crop yield gains has slowed, while food demand
continues to rise rapidly

9. Regional response to food price crisis
• Protect the vulnerable
• Exploit regional diversity and facilitate
regional trade
• Enhance supply response
• Strengthen and use regional institutions for
preparedness and response
10. Reducing vulnerability, risk,
building assets
• Vulnerability not only damages people’s welfare,
it also reduces growth directly by destroying
assets … (Dorward et al 2008)
• Need to assist poor people in the agricultural
sector by reducing:
– The risk and vulnerability to shocks and stresses, and
– the perceptions of high risk in the sector, which may
otherwise prevent the poor from venturing into new
opportunities.
13. Overall Goal
• To transform the lives of 179,000 families—or approximately
one million people —by doubling household dairy income by
year 10 through integrated interventions in dairy production,
market-access and knowledge application
• Beneficiaries:
– 169,000 poor smallholder dairy families that earn less than $2 per
adult equivalent per day and have 1-5 cows
– 10,000 Fodder producers that earn less than $ 2 per adult per day
• US$ 48 million investment
14. Three major objectives
• To generate information for evidence based
decision-making on the dairy value chain and to
develop innovative solutions for use of resources
that increase income
• To expand dairy markets and increase market
access for smallholder farmers
• To increase dairy productivity and efficiency in a
sustainable manner
15. Confronting Complexity
• Challenges
– Business model
– Conflicting objectives and trade-offs
• Opportunities
– The hub concept
– Multi-country project
18. However…
• Policy research on African agriculture is
progressively long on prescriptions for
– what needs to be done to spur agricultural growth but
short on
– how such prescriptions might be implemented in
practice (Omamo, 2003).
• The issue is how to promote
– “evidence-readiness” among inherently conservative
and pragmatic policy makers and practitioners and
– “user-readiness” among inherently abstraction-
oriented researchers (Omamo 2004).
20. CGIAR has evolved to a System with more than 8,500 CGIAR
scientists and staff working in over 100 countries, addressing
every critical component of the agricultural research sector

21. Since its launch, CGIAR has delivered innovations that
have resulted in feeding an additional 13 million people
per year
Without the CGIAR’s investment:
– World food production would be 4 to 5 percent lower
– Developing countries would produce 7 to 8 percent less food
– 13 to 15 million more children would be malnourished
22. CGIAR launched a change initiative at the
beginning of 2008 in service of greater impact
FROM TO
Clear vision with focused priorities that respond to
Mission creep and trying to do everything
global development challenges
Duplicative mandate of the Centers without clear Centers that collaborate, work toward the System
System-wide vision and strategy for impact agenda and priorities, and deliver impact
Complex and cumbersome governance and lack of Streamlined and effective System-level governance
accountability with clear accountability
Static partnerships that are not enabling scalable Strong and innovative partnerships with NARS, the
impact and research adoption private sector and civil society that enable impact
Lack of coordination among investors Strengthened, coordinated funding mechanisms
that are linked to the System agenda and priorities
Declining core resources Stabilization and growth of resource support
Greater impact on food security and poverty reduction
23. With additional resources, existing capabilities could be
scaled up and out to provide even more impact on
emerging challenges

24. Conclusions: networked science to
address complex challenges
Forward looking, opportunity oriented
– For researchers:
• All kinds of research can have impact
• Classical ideas of ‘critical mass’ less valid
• Must be networked, have ‘digital footprint’
– For research managers:
• Huge expectations of transformation of societies
• Need to engage much more in networked science
• Engage with postmodern approaches
