3. NAIPs WORK
• MGM (Malabo Goals and Milestones) reports for ECOWAS will be published
as a book with country-specific chapters as well as a few chapters with
cross-country analysis (these could cover methodology, or synthesize the
country chapters).
• Individual studies could be published first as Discussion Papers.
AGRODEP members can author the chapters for the countries they’re
working on.
• SAPs (Malabo Status Assessment and Profiles) will be published in two
publications series: one country-focused (with all thematic areas) and one
thematic-area focused (with cross-country analysis in that thematic area).
• For country-focused publications, AGRODEP members can take the lead
as authors. For the thematic area focused publications, Task Force
members can lead.
• The PPO (Policy and Program Opportunities) reports will be published as a
handbook with multiple editors

4. SOME USEFUL TIPS

• Colleagues within Africa division or from other IFPRI
divisions
• Researchers from outside IFPRI
• Don’t be afraid beyond your area of expertise
• Theory
• Data
• Empirical methods
• Don’t be afraid to fail
