Day1_Session4_TRIPS_WASDS_Antoine Kalinganire_Planned Activities and IDOs
1. Planned activities
• Establish reference situation / baselines for the action sites to
support systems approaches
• Assess and monitor biomass and resource flow in action sites
• Review past work on dryland systems in the region and draw
lessons on successes, failures and gaps in knowledge for
sustainable intensification and vulnerability reduction; and
evaluate vulnerability and risk management strategies in the
action sites
• Facilitate effective linkages and knowledge exchange among
different actors for improved system productivity and better
market access
• Develop and test value adding strategies for post-harvest
management, processing and use of agricultural produce and by-
products including forest products
2. Planned activities (cont’d)
• Quantify resource use and associated tradeoffs to optimize
community-level decision making to promote SI and
vulnerability reduction
• Promote local and regional knowledge generation and exchange
for scaling up and out of promising intensification options and
strategies
• Coordinate and harmonize database management and research
methods
• Induce intensification and improve resource use efficiency
through on-farm testing and evaluation of technologies
• Review, analyze, develop and test community-based strategies
for resource management including land tenure, seed
systems, conflict management, access to market and financial
services
3. IDOs
1. More resilient livelihoods for vulnerable households in marginal areas
2. More stable and higher per capita income for intensifiable
households
3. Women and children in vulnerable households have year round
access to greater quantity and diversity of food sources
4. More sustainable and equitable management of land, water and
genetic resources in pastoral and agro-pastoral systems
5. Better functioning markets underpinning intensification of rural
livelihoods
6. More integrated, effective and connected service delivery institutions
underpinning resilience and system intensification
7. Policy reform removing constraints and creating incentives for rural
households to engage in more sustainable practices that improve
resilience and intensify production
4. Key activities contributing to various IDO research
outputs?
