4. Examples on Linking R with D
• Link with Developmental projects funded by
International Development Organizations
– IFAD- funded project Barani Village in Pakistan
– WB-funded project Marsa Matrouh project in
Egypt
– USAID-funded project in Baluchistan, Pakistan
(FAO and ICARDA)
– IFAD-funded project M&M- Community approach/
CDP

5. Examples on Linking R with D
• Link with Governmental Developmental
projects/initiatives
– Scaling-up of raised bed in Egypt (IFAD,
Government of Egypt, Food Security project-
AFESD, KFAED, IsDB, OFID)
– Scaling up of bio-pesticides in IPM of date plam in
Iraq (IFAD and USAID-HSAD)

6. Examples on Linking R with D
• Link with Private Sector
– Fabrication/local manufacturing of seeders for CA
in Syria, Iraq and NA (ACIAR, IFAD)
– Fabrication/local manufacturing of machines for
mechanical raised be in Egypt (ACIAR,
Government of Egypt)
– Rust-resistant wheat varieties in Ethiopia in
partnership with local developmental authorities
and private sector (USAID)

26. What is Next?
• Engage in direct discussion between managers of research
grants and developmental projects
• Extend this annual coordination/consultation meeting
between NEN/IFAD & ICARDA by one day and involve the
Directors of IFAD’s Developmental Projects in NEN
• Document the experience of NEN/IFAD and ICARDA
• Take 2-3 case studies for piloting
– 2-3 existing developmental project and grant (s)
– 2-3 new developmental project (design phase)
