Water for a food-secure world
• Urgency: Knowledge Gaps– Don’t know much about how our policies
and investments will achieve our development objectives
– If we raise subsidies by 10%, how many hungry people will be fed?
– How much more should we invest in AgR&D in order to reduce the poverty rate by 10%?
• Vision– Policies and investments that achieve the
development objectives
Urgency & Vision for a Country SAKSS

Water for a food-secure world
SAKSS is a network of people and institutions that provides timely, credible, and evidence-based knowledge and analysis to inform
agricultural and rural development(ARD) strategies in Africa.
The individuals are linked through collaborative research (strategic analysis), capacity strengthening, and dialogue.
Knowledge support system:
A network that serves the evidence needs of strategy
formulation and implementation.

Strategic analysis:
An integrated framework of analysis
that helps identify policy and investment options for achieving
high-end development goals.
POLICY: A set of principles or rules to guide decisions and
actions. Policies are often legislated and enacted. Several
policies, as well as programs, may fit into the larger strategy
Strategy: A long term plan of action designed to achieve a particular goal
