This document summarizes an innovation platform (IP) established in Ghana and Burkina Faso to support value chain development for crops and livestock. The IP brought together value chain actors to identify and prioritize constraints, develop strategies to address them through action research, and build member capacity. Key outputs included analysis of value chains and water management strategies, as well as targeted recommendations. The IP facilitated communication between actors and stakeholders. Challenges included time spent, funding, capacity, and translating decisions into outcomes. Moving forward, a learning alliance and strategies to address capacity limitations and manage expectations are needed to ensure sustainability.

New ICT solutions for agricultural development are being developed at break-neck speed, and its hard to keep track of what’s out there, what works, and how it best fits into your project. At this month’s Tech Talk, GBI will demonstrate how ICT applications can complement a value chain approach to agricultural development, and we will bring in users and developers of these apps to explain their tools and how they are implemented. We’ll also unveil a new and useful interactive tool “Ag Apps Along the Value Chain,” that maps a collected inventory of over 120 apps and ICT solutions along the agricultural value chain.

Session 6 2 Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning: Monitoring Uptake for Impact David Ngome
As the ACAI project shifts focus from research-related activities to dissemination activities, it becomes imperative that different results and targets are achieved, and how these results and targets will be monitored and be known to all stakeholders.
The presentation on ME&L highlighted the results to be achieved, targets to be met and methodologies to monitor number of farmers reached with the DSTs, farmers changing practices through use of the DSTs, and farmers benefiting from use of the DSTs.
Farmers reached will be monitored by aggregation of number of farmers who are aware and gain knowledge of ACAI DST per use case, per DST format and per partner dissemination approach.
Farmers changing practices through use of the DSTs will be monitored through panel surveys, which will be done on annually starting in 2019.
Farmers benefiting from use of the DSTs will be monitored by impact survey, which will be conducted at the end of the project.

• What is the situation is V2:

• Way forward

14. Key Questions
How do we measure the performance of IPs and what factors
influence this?
How do IPs affect the performance of VCs?
In which circumstances do IPs lead to more sustainable and
equitable benefits for VC actors?
How do the context and crop-livestock species/systems affect
the functioning of the IPs and consequently, the VCs?
What factors influence the sustainability/replicability of Ips?
What are the implications of the above on project design and
implementation?
Which tools are affective for M&E of IPs and livestock VCs?
15. Role of the IP in Prioritizing the Action Research Issues
• IP1: Value chain analysis and initial analysis of constraints
• IP2: Further analysis of constraints with focus on rainwater
management and related strategies
• IP3(ARI): Development of Action Research Protocol
• IP4: Review of the process and development of action plan for the

18. Conclusion
• IP provides a way forwards to improved agricultural production &
livelihood through improve stakeholder participation in action
research
• Translating IP decisions into VC outcomes
• Constraints along the VC are largely institutional rather than
technical
• IP has enhanced collaboration among actors
• High expectation among IP participants
• Sustainability
Active farmer participation vs Institutional „sluggishness‟
Organizational form: formal or informal
19. WAY FORWARD
• The upcoming learning alliance is a means to resolving some of
the capacity challenges
• Analyse and address:
Actor willingness to participate in IP
Lack of capacity among actors in terms of means, knowledge,
behaviour, and ability
•
Adopt strategies to deal with the high expectation generated by
the project
