Working towards “out-scaling
strategies” for WLI technologies
WLI Socio-Economic Thematic GroupBezaiet Dessalegn
The overall goal of WLI is to improve the livelihoods of rural households and communities, through the development and pilot testing of integrated water, land, and livelihood strategies on selected benchmark sites for scaling out
• Impact pathways and theories of change
• Willingness to adopt WLI promoted technologies
• Revise the logical framework (regional and national level)
Working towards out-scaling WLI promoted technologies
Impact Pathways and Theories of Change
Regional Workshop on "Catalyzing Change through the Impact Pathway and Theories of Change", 15-17 April 2014, Amman
NCARE and UF 14 participants from 7 countries
Country
Improved technologies or management practices
Egypt irrigation water scheduling, soil improvement, raised-bed technology
Iraq deficit irrigation, surface and subsurface drip irrigation, greenhouses, organic fertilizers and amino acids, livestock and forage production, use of saline water to grow maize
Jordan Introduction and evaluation of drought resistant shrubs, water harvesting using continuous and intermittent contour ridges with Vallerani, water spreading (marabs), terraces, cisterns for family use, and planting of different species of barley in Marabs, as well as different varieties of vetch, safflower, and shrubs.
Lebanon
water harvesting - najarims, conservation agriculture, good agricultural practices - IPM, deficit irrigation, introduction of new varieties (wheat, barley, and chickpeas, grape, apricot, cactus) and local grape varieties
Palestine
Silage, hydroponics, introduction of native plant species and drought resistant wheat and barley, water harvesting (terraces, semi-circle bund and eye brow)
Syria Deficit irrigation using drip irrigation to grow sorghum, integrated crop-livestock production, supplemental irrigation to grow medicinal crops for income generation, water accounting for the Orontes River
Tunisia supplemental irrigation, deficit irrigation, water harvesting, soil and water conservation, alley cropping, and zero tillage
Yemen supplemental irrigation for spate irrigated sesame, lipid forage

Assessing Perceptions & Constraints
Objective: Improve technology dissemination strategies and approaches that promote adoption of proven water and land management technologies by identifying researcher, extension, and farmer- based perceptions and constraints.
Additional support from MEAS
Assess farmers’ perceptions of, and exposure to, the technology
Assess researchers’ perceptions of technology development and existing dissemination strategy
Assess extension agents’ perspective on existing technology dissemination strategies
Identify potential challenges and opportunities for adoption by farmers including gender-based constraints
Initiate dialogue between extension agents and researchers for good practices that can accelerate adoption rates
Develop new and effective technology dissemination strategies with regional applicability.
Specific objectives
Progress to date and plans for 2015
2014 2015
