African Farmers, Value Chains, and African DevelopmentIFPRI-PIM
PIM Webinar/Book Launch, December 9, 2021.
At first glance, African smallholder farmers might seem unproductive, as their crops yield much less than potential and are often of variable quality. A new PIM-supported book “African Farmers, Value Chains, and Agricultural Development” argues that in fact they are largely producing following rational economic decisions, and that this situation is a consequence of the economic and institutional environment in which they produce. The authors Alan de Brauw and Erwin Bulte discuss ways that different types of transaction costs limit their market opportunities in general, including transport costs but also costs related to different sources of risks, trust, market power, liquidity, and even storage.

Value chain development and rural poverty reduction: Knowledge gaps and a pot...World Agroforestry (ICRAF)
The document discusses knowledge gaps around the impact of value chain development (VCD) on poverty reduction. It presents the "5Capitals" assessment tool, which takes an asset-based approach to evaluate how VCD affects livelihood assets and business performance. Case studies applying this tool in various countries revealed that VCD alone has limited impact on asset building for those below a minimum asset threshold. The document proposes that ICRAF use the 5Capitals tool to assess VCD options for underutilized fruits in select countries, to better understand how to design pro-poor interventions.
More meat, milk and fish by and for the poor: How the Livestock and Fish rese...ILRI
This document summarizes the goals and approach of the Livestock and Fish research program. The program aims to improve access to animal-source foods like meat, milk, and fish for poor communities through research focused on increasing productivity and market access for small-scale livestock and aquaculture production systems. The program will work on selected value chains in target countries, addressing constraints across the entire chain from inputs to consumers. The goal is to generate solutions that development partners can implement at large scale to benefit both producers and consumers.
Agricultural research does not always clearly reduce poverty according to the evidence presented. While increasing food production could help reduce hunger, poverty is ultimately a problem of lack of income. The impact of new technologies on poor farmers and laborers depends on factors like access to inputs, land ownership, and effects on food prices. Past examples like the Green Revolution showed both benefits and unintended consequences that varied between individuals. The profile and economic context of the poor in Africa today is more diverse than in the past, requiring nuanced approaches from agricultural research that support broader economic transformation and growth.
This document discusses the history and current state of agricultural extension services in Malawi, as well as ideas for improving extension efforts going forward. It notes that agriculture is the main livelihood for most Malawians but productivity needs to increase. The history of extension involved different approaches, and currently extension aims to be demand-driven and pluralistic. Challenges include lack of coordination, coverage, and training. The document recommends strengthening partnerships between farmers, researchers, and extension providers to improve market-oriented, coordinated extension services nationwide.

Update on pig value chain development in VietnamILRI
This document summarizes the update on pig value chain development in Vietnam. It discusses (1) the importance of pigs in Vietnam due to rising incomes and pork consumption, smallholder production, and policy challenges; (2) projected increases in pork supply from large-scale producers; and (3) proposed priority outcomes, research outputs, activities, and gaps for the project from 2012-2014, which include assessing constraints, identifying best interventions, building capacity, and influencing development decisions.
This document outlines the objectives, outcomes and outputs of the ASDSP (Agricultural Sector Development Support Programme) in Kenya. The overall goal is to transform Kenya's agricultural sector. The programme purpose is to increase incomes, employment and food security through improved production and productivity. Component 1 focuses on sector coordination, institutions and linkages. Component 2 strengthens environmental resilience and social inclusion in value chains. Component 3 promotes equitable commercialization of the agricultural sector. The document includes indicators and means of verification for objectives. It also lists potential risks and assumptions.
Netta Hollings (Programme Manager - Mental Health and Community Care) discusses how you can get the most out of the Maternity Services Data Set (MSDS) and the Child Health Data Sets.
The data sets provide comparative, mother and child-centric data that will be used to improve clinical quality and service efficiency; and to commission services in a way that improves health and reduce inequalities.

The purpose of this project is to help the government to prepare a comprehensive development strategy for agriculture based on an analysis of the policy sector situation and wide stakeholder consultation.
The project also aims to ensure the progress of peasants, farmers, and rural society.
The document summarizes a project that introduced a question and answer service voucher system (QAS-VS) in Uganda to strengthen the country's underfunded and underperforming rural advisory services. Through the QAS-VS, 900 small-scale farmers received timely answers to questions from experts. It generated an online knowledge base and increased outreach through radio broadcasts. A survey found the QAS-VS increased farmers' productivity, engagement with best practices, and use of research outputs. The conclusions recommend expanding the approach and increasing government support to improve evidence-based extension services.

This document presents a research study on the financial and institutional analysis of vegetable cooperatives in Dhading district of Nepal. The study aims to analyze the financial performance, organizational efficiency, and member opinions of 9 vegetable cooperatives through quantitative and qualitative methods. Key findings include most cooperatives being in early stages of growth transition, poor market linkages reported, lower profit ratios and higher operating ratios found in financial analysis, and mixed member views on transparency though majority agreed cooperatives benefitted them. The study utilized surveys, interviews, focus groups, financial ratios, and institutional assessments to analyze constraints and performance of the cooperatives.
Why Healthcare Costing Matters to Enable Strategy and Financial PerformanceHealth Catalyst
According to Moody’s Investment Service Analysis, not-for-profit hospital margins are at an all-time low of 1.6% while the American Hospital Association has found that 30% of all hospitals have negative margins. Financial pressures are continuing to increase in an environment of rising costs, lower payments, an aging population, higher patient responsibility and changing consumer demands. Now more than ever healthcare providers need to have an accurate picture of their costing information to enable precise, strategic decisions that will improve financial performance.
Activity-based costing has the power to do just that. In this webinar Steve Vance, SVP, Professional Services, Health Catalyst explores different costing methodologies and discusses why activity-based costing is the preferable method to manage margins because it directly ties services to their costs. Many healthcare organizations base their costs on generalized drivers such as relative value units (RVUs) through their chargemaster rather than on specific activities associated with their services, leading to inaccurate assumptions and poor decisions.
View this webinar to learn:
- Why activity-based costing should be your core tool for improving financial performance.
- The differences and implications between costing methodologies.
- How to leverage data from an Electronic Data Warehouse (EDW) and automate processes while improving accuracy.
- Ways that you can make strategic decisions using clinical and operational data when tied to costing data.
- Activity-based costing use cases such as contract negotiations, pricing decisions, population health management (PHM), and process improvement efforts
We hope that you will view the webinar and learn from the depth and breadth of Steve’s extensive financial experience.

In this webinar on 22 November 2021, the team presented key findings from the Flagship’s work in 2017-2021 in three areas: 1) value chain innovations, 2) use of value chains for scaling CGIAR solutions, and 3) interactions between research and practice for value chain development.

Gender dynamics in value chains: Beyond production node and a single commodit...IFPRI-PIM
1. Women have less decision-making power and asset ownership compared to men, especially in intensive value chains.
2. Intensive value chains use more purchased inputs like fertilizers and hired labor, resulting in higher yields. However, extension services mainly target men.
3. Women do most of the labor in crop establishment and post-harvest handling while men do more field management.
4. Controlling for other factors, sweet potato yields are lower on female-managed farms compared to male-managed farms, indicating a gender productivity gap.
Myths about the feminization of agriculture: Implications for global food sec...IFPRI-PIM
This document summarizes a webinar that challenged four common myths about the feminization of agriculture and its implications for global food security.
The webinar debunked the myths that 1) feminization is the predominant global trend, 2) feminization is bad for agriculture, 3) women left behind are passive victims, and 4) all women farmers face similar challenges. It highlighted that roles and opportunities for men and women vary widely by context. Addressing structural disadvantages faced by women farmers, recognizing their contributions to household food security, and tailoring interventions to different groups of women are important for improving agricultural production and food systems. More research is needed on changing rural labor patterns and their impacts on food security for various communities

Advancing Waterproofing Expertise with AIW
Waterproofing Melbourne and beyond, the Australian Institute of Waterproofing (AIW) is proud to introduce an innovative commercial waterproofing course. Developed in collaboration with the Master Builders Association Vic, this course, led by Andrew Golle, is tailored for project managers overseeing balcony waterproofing, roof waterproofing, and concrete repair. Paul Evans emphasizes the critical nature of these roles in preventing costly post-construction issues. Private sessions for building supervisors are now available, addressing common mistakes due to poor applications and cost-cutting measures.
The course covers essential topics, including product selection, surface preparation, and the importance of basement waterproofing. Paul Evans highlights the recurring problems seen in the industry, where inadequate training and oversight lead to significant issues, from retaining wall waterproofing to lift pit waterproofing.
In response to these challenges, the AIW is developing a "Below Ground Waterproofing Standard" specific to Australia, inspired by UK standards. Paul Evans calls for industry-wide collaboration to ensure the standard encompasses diverse methods and materials, ultimately enhancing the quality and longevity of waterproofing work.
By equipping supervisors and builders with the right knowledge, AIW aims to improve the overall standard of waterproofing practices, reducing the risk of failures and the subsequent mental and financial stress on homeowners. This proactive approach is crucial for the sustainability and reliability of waterproofing in construction projects across Australia.

Comprehensive Guide to Balcony Waterproofing Repairs
Addressing Leaking Balconies, Roofs, and Rooftop Terraces
Leaking balconies, roofs, and rooftop terraces can cause catastrophic damage to structures below. Water leaks may cause not only aesthetic and superficial damage but can also compromise the structural integrity of the building envelope. If a failed waterproofing membrane is the cause, re-grouting or surface sealing is merely a temporary fix. Such band-aid methods will eventually fail, causing cracks in tiles, grout, and membranes as the balcony moves.
In many cases, failed membranes require a complete strip-off, structural repairs if needed, reinstallation of waterproofing, and a new finish surface. Key considerations in this process include the strength of the subfloor and screed, presence of substrate dips and hollows, correct balcony slope and fall, window and door frame installation, door threshold sealing, adequate drainage, and the potential for underlying pipe leaks. Existing tiling and expansion joints should also be assessed to determine their role in the balcony failure.
Waterproofing Preparation
Proper preparation is critical for any waterproofing membrane installation. The substrate must be clean, free of dirt and other contaminants. This involves vacuum cleaning and/or diamond grinding to ensure a smooth, dry, and debris-free surface. In some cases, washing the substrate may be necessary.
Waterproofing Detailing
Before installing a waterproofing system, construction features that interrupt the membrane layer must be adequately protected and sealed. This includes:
Perimeter Upturns: Attachment points for railings and balustrades, joints between horizontal and vertical surfaces, and structural and expansion joints. Sealant should be applied 15mm wide to all junctions, reinforced with polyester or fiberglass mat to a DFT of 1.2mm, 100mm above finished floor height, or 25mm above the water line. The membrane system should be installed 200mm onto balcony floor areas.
Door/Window Step Downs: Similar to perimeter upturns, apply sealant 15mm wide to all junctions, reinforced with fiberglass mat to a DFT of 1.2mm, ensuring the membrane system is installed 200mm onto balcony areas.
Drains & Floor Waste Details: All floor wastes should have a recessed leak control flange installed, primed with appropriate primer, and the membrane system installed as per specifications.
Waterproofing Installation: Australian Standards
The installation of a Class 2/3 waterproof membrane system to external concrete must comply with AS 4654.2. Key considerations for installation include:
Installation Conditions: Avoid installation in extreme temperatures (below 10°C or above 35°C) to prevent accelerated or decelerated cure times.
Type of Membrane: Use a flexible waterproofing membrane capable of withstanding normal cyclic fluctuations and ponding water.

11. Farmers’ Voice
• Farmers are increasingly advocating for prioritized needs and holding
extension providers accountable
–“Farmers say what their problems are and they actually have demands.It is
not business as usual. Now extension is required to find solutions.” Extension
Worker in SANE District
–VAC member: ‘Yes, we have a voice. We communicatewith service providers
on various issues that are of concern.’
–VAC member: ‘Previously (NGOs) would bring activities to us without our
input. Currently, they depend on the reports that we as farmers present.’
• Different sentiments in non-SANE districts:
–ASP member in Salima: ‘It’s a top-down approach.We are receiving the
projects that have been planned at a higher level, not what the community is
in need.’

Lead farmer rating Marginal effects
15. • Quantitative and qualitative evidence supports the approach of
focusing on the middle level of extension in Malawi to improve quality
ratings of lead farmers at the village level
• Sustainability – we have some evidence on sustainability, but will
need to track this post-SANE
• Key to sustainability – building value to all DAESS platform participants
• From implementing SANE what have we learned?
–Government units, funders, and donors need to advocate for and
support actively the DAESS system – expect projects and activities to
engage with it
–DAESS benefits farmers and promotes efficiency and coordination –
it is worth the effort
– Obtaining buy in and commitment of various extension actors in a
pluralistic extension system takes significant effort and time – build
on successes
