The DAPA Program 2010 annual review highlights include: 1) DAPA's vision is using spatial, economic, and institutional analysis of data to improve agricultural and natural resource policies and decisions from farm to global levels. 2) Projects focused on impact assessment, ecosystem services, climate change adaptation strategies, and linking smallholder farmers to markets. 3) Involvement in various CGIAR research programs including 60% in CCAFS, 20% in land and water programs, and 20% in income and policy programs.

1. Highlights of DAPA Program 2010Annual Program Review 2011Nairobi, Kenya, 10 May 2011

2. Our visionWe strongly believe in the power of information for making better decisions about agricultural and natural resource investments, from the farm- to the global- level.Numbers. Maps. Graphs. Insights.Better public and private policies through engagement

3. Our modus operandiThematicallydiverse, unitedbyspatial, economic and institutionalanalysisConverting data toinformationtopolicy and decisioninsightsDemand-drivenbyother CIAT programs and partnersneeds (principally in LatinAmerica)Eco-efficiency as a guidingprinciple

4. Our objectives and some selected highlightsTo maximize the impact and returns on investment of agricultural research and development through ex ante and ex post impact assessmentTo contribute to improved management of critical ecosystem services through pro-poor payment schemes for water and carbon in Latin AmericaTo fully understand the likely impacts of climate change on agricultural systems, livelihoods and critical ecosystem services, and identify best-bet adaptation strategies from local to global levelTo ensure that public and private sector policies provide the opportunity for smallholder farmers to profit from emerging market opportunities

5. Involvement in CRPs60% in CCAFS (Peter Laderach is CIAT’s contact point)20% in CRP5: Land and water (Marcela Quintero)20% in CRP2: income and policy (Mark Lundy - linking farmers to markets)
