Achievements and Future Plans
Dr. Endalkachew Welde-Meskel (ILRI), Mr. Tamiru Amanu (ILRI)
Project background
 N2Africa is a science-based “research-in-
development” project funded by BMGF
 The main objective of the project:
 Increase biological nitrogen fixation and
productivity of grain legumes,
 Contribute to enhanced soil fertility,
 Improve household nutrition and increased
cash income.
 The project covers four regional national
states in Ethiopia also with due emphasis on:
 Value chain development and gender and
nutrition
Major partners :
Federal and regional agricultural research
institutes,
Universities (Hawassa and Bahir Dar)
 Federal, regional zonal and district MoA,
ILRI
Private input companies (Menagesha Plc.)
and farmers.
Focus legume crops:
 Common bean, faba bean, chickpea and
soybean.
Annual planning workshop
 15-16 April 2014 to:
 Explain the activity clusters within the
agronomy master plan and interfaces with
other project master plans
 Provide a planning forum and share
responsibilities
 Ensure timely delivery of outputs
 Partners from public and private sectors
 Presentations on:
 Agronomy master plan:
 Some findings of rhizobiology
 Typical legume crops value chain synthesis
results
 Feed value of legume crops residues
 Gender and nutrition
 Detailed planning for 2014 on:
Agronomy activity clusters with due
consideration of Value chain development ,
gender and nutrition and animal feed value
of legume residues
Pictures
Ways forward
• Follow up and supervision of planned activities
• Inventory of potential value chain actors for the priority
legume crops and establish market linkages
• Strengthen engagement of private sector involvement
• Establishment of public-private partnerships
• Capacity building (inoculant technology, gender
mainstreaming, business development skills)
• Facilitate community based seed systems development
Phase II launch
 Workshop 27-28 February 2014.
 Project management, invited professionals
from sister N2Africa project and various
stakeholders attended
 Project strategic documents presented
and common understanding created
 Results from the bridging phase shared

Achievements
 The May-December 2013 bridging period provided a launch-pad for
phase II.
 Partnerships established with key partners.
 Capacity building on inoculant technology (training of researchers,
technicians and DAs)
 Assembly of appropriate inputs
 Actual implementation of N2Africa activities
 Baby and mother trails established across the regions (150 baby
trials and 20 mother plots)
 Farmers (both males and females) were trained on input
applications and field management
 Field days organized and feedback collected
 Results from some regions indicated positive responses for inputs
(fertilizers and inoculants)
 Furthermore, baseline survey was undertaken to better understand
the biophysical and socio-economics situations

  • 1. Overview of N2Africa-Ethiopia Project: Achievements and Future Plans Dr. Endalkachew Welde-Meskel (ILRI), Mr. Tamiru Amanu (ILRI) Project background  N2Africa is a science-based “research-in- development” project funded by BMGF  The main objective of the project:  Increase biological nitrogen fixation and productivity of grain legumes,  Contribute to enhanced soil fertility,  Improve household nutrition and increased cash income.  The project covers four regional national states in Ethiopia also with due emphasis on:  Value chain development and gender and nutrition Major partners : Federal and regional agricultural research institutes, Universities (Hawassa and Bahir Dar)  Federal, regional zonal and district MoA, ILRI Private input companies (Menagesha Plc.) and farmers. Focus legume crops:  Common bean, faba bean, chickpea and soybean. Annual planning workshop  15-16 April 2014 to:  Explain the activity clusters within the agronomy master plan and interfaces with other project master plans  Provide a planning forum and share responsibilities  Ensure timely delivery of outputs  Partners from public and private sectors  Presentations on:  Agronomy master plan:  Some findings of rhizobiology  Typical legume crops value chain synthesis results  Feed value of legume crops residues  Gender and nutrition  Detailed planning for 2014 on: Agronomy activity clusters with due consideration of Value chain development , gender and nutrition and animal feed value of legume residues Pictures Ways forward • Follow up and supervision of planned activities • Inventory of potential value chain actors for the priority legume crops and establish market linkages • Strengthen engagement of private sector involvement • Establishment of public-private partnerships • Capacity building (inoculant technology, gender mainstreaming, business development skills) • Facilitate community based seed systems development Phase II launch  Workshop 27-28 February 2014.  Project management, invited professionals from sister N2Africa project and various stakeholders attended  Project strategic documents presented and common understanding created  Results from the bridging phase shared  Further consolidation of project strategic directions and project implementation with stakeholders EndalkachewWelde-Meskel and Tamiru Amanu E.Woldemeskel@cgiar.org, T.Amanu@cgiar.org ● ILRI, Ethiopia.
