  1. Research Review & Planning MeetingAfrica RISING – East & Southern Africa Project1-5 October 2012, Arusha, Tanzania Opportunities for leveraging with PPP (NAFAKA) J.Rusike

  2. NAFAKA • Means grain • Project staples value chain activity • Currently very active rice sector in Kilombero and Mvomero • 5 Components (in rice sector plan for maize) • Rehabilitating value chains • Increase productivity in the two crops • Innovative trade and competitiveness • Innovative partnerships (ACDI-VOCA, MVIWATA,FIPS, RUDI, CRS) • Increasing income for vulnerable communities

  3. Workings • Entry point: village level FO: Identify existing or non-existing • Do assessment see area for strengthening/develop partnerships: district federated FOS (Apex producer, outgrowers, cooperatives in crop production) • Mother-Baby Trials: variety, fertilizer (YARA) • Agrodealers • Post-harvest: Storage, warehouse receipt systems; SACCOS • Markets (Kibaigwa): Local assembly, central, bargaining, finance/credit

  4. Workings • For maize targeted high potential area based on soil fertility, rainfall • In Kiteto 17 villages; Kongwa 33 villages; Mvomero 12 villages; in Kilombero divided into 2 clusters • Mother trials 12x20 meters: 33 in Kongwa, 21 in Kiteto • Maize varieties: Hybrids (Pioneer, DK, Tanseed); OPVs (Uganda Longe 6, Longe 4, Situka) • All those attend during planting mothers demos each get varieties for baby trials • Comparison between Mother and baby • Livestock: FIPS Chicken vaccinations but stopped • District Officers where to locate, farmers invited to participate about 100 farmers

  5. Workings • For maize targeted high potential area based on soil fertility, rainfall • In Kiteto 17 villages; Kongwa 33 villages; Mvomero 12 villages; in Kilombero divided into 2 clusters • Mother trials 12x20 meters: 33 in Kongwa, 21 in Kiteto • Maize varieties-: Hybrids (Pioneer, DK, Tanseed); OPVs (Uganda Longe 6, Longe 4, Situka) • All those attend during planting mothers demos each get varieties for baby trials • Comparison between Mother and baby • Baby trials no fertilizer. Mother trials use fertilizer YARA , Minjingu PR). • District Officers where to locate, farmers invited to participate about 100 farmers

  6. Workings • Comparative advantage of the CGIAR agricultural systems production research; Contractors (ACDI, Abt) in value chains • The program document/work plan of AR scope •  USAID wants the two types of implementers to cooperate: Which project goes the credit for the value chain work (not counting twice), once for each project

  7. Workings • Evaluation is in two parts • 1 Technologies per se using a GxEXMXLXM • RCTs to go beyond plot level randomization • 2 delivery value chain work • Quasi-experimental approaches (before and after interventions and with and without interventions i.e. difference in differences; propensity score matching; Instrumental Variables; • Assess the value added NAFAKA/ABT/DAI with and without technologies from the CGIARs.  • Difference can be attributed tovalue chain work/agricultural production systems research

  8. Thank you!
