5. Concluding Comments
11 Core Partners
Systems Research• Involves whole-system analysis and interactions
– multi cropping systems, – integrated crop – livestock, – NRM – productivity-markets/institutions interactions– gender and generational issues, etc.
• The blending of local and technical knowledge• Matching of technological options to the biophysical
and socio-economic contexts• Participatory multi-stakeholder engagement and
partnerships.
Livelihood enhancement, Sustainable Intensification and NR integrity
Systems-CRPs
• Core business: Integrated systems approaches
• The “melting pot” dimension: integration across CRPs operating within AEZ
• Strategic partnership with selected CRPs
• Elements exist within other CRPs
10 Elements of “Systemness”
1. Systems mindset– Boundaries– Components
2. Inter-”disciplinary” Teams– Partnerships– New competencies
3. Stakeholder engagement– R4D, Innovation Platforms
4. Integrated systems: interactions and trade-offs
5. Innovation: hardware, software and ‘orgware’
6. Scale dimension: -scaling up/out
7. Gender research: -women and youth
8. Capacity building -across “actors”
9. Development orientation - IDOs
10. Learning
- mechanisms and strategies

Action Areas
Flagship Regions
Implementing Humidtropics
Two types:
1. Crosscutting Flagship
2. Area-Based Flagships• East and Central Africa• West Africa• Central America and the Caribbean• Central Mekong
Instruments for research structuring, organization and implementation.

How do these areas interact with the regional Flagships? ……
… and with other CRPs???
- Emerging Research Areas
Crosscutting Flagship
Spatial analysis – ‘Hard’ criteria
• Use the 3 key variable site selection process, based on: • Poverty• Market access• Risk of degradation
• Combinations of High and Low for each of these leads to 8 categories (HHH, HLH, HLL, etc.)
• Those categories which are the dominant features of the Action Site should be included to some degree in the Field Sites
Site Selection
‘Soft’ criteria - Dialogue with partners and local experts
• Local knowledge
• Local partnerships and views of local experts with better grounded knowledge and experience may bring in other ground considerations influencing choice of Field Sites
• Institutional, political, security considerations, etc.
• Developmental opportunities

Development Domains in the ECA Flagship
Poverty Level
Risk of Degradation (HANNP)
Market Access
• Site selection guidelines produced
• Three key variables are used (scaled as hi or lo)
• All combinations are mapped to encompass the range of social, political, and environmental heterogeneity
• Spatial analysis is subjected to stakeholder consultation for final selection
Site Selection
Site Selection
• Southern part of four selected countries: Nigeria, Cameroun, Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire
• About 28% of population live with less than US$1.25/day
• Average market access is about 3 hours
• 58% of land area is estimated to be degraded
West Africa Flagship
West Africa Flagship• West Africa Flagship Project launched in June 2013
• West Africa Flagship: 4 Action Sites• Two operational: Nigeria and Cameroon
West Africa Flagship
i) population density
ii) potential for poverty reduction
iii) potential to reduce land degradation and social conflicts
iv) action to protect agro-biodiversity hotspots
v) enhanced social learning for multi-cultural communities
vi) potential for cross-border trade and market chains
vii) national interests in collaboration
Combination of hard and soft criteria
Cameroon Sites Selection Criteria
Data Sources for Site Selection
• Population: Global Rural-Urban Mapping Project*, Version 1 data:
• Poverty Reduction: HarvestChoice Poverty maps, commissioned by the CGIAR SRF Team
• Land degradation: Human Appropriation of Net Primary Productivity (HANPP)*
• Trade and market chains: Market Access and Influence data*
• ETC., ETC.

ConclusionHumidtropics is making progress ….
…. within reasonable limits!!
• Increased coherence and trust building:
• Combining crosscutting with regional Flagships
• Site selection links to extrapolation domains
• Make partnerships count for good
– Regional organizations
– R4D Platforms
• More efforts in CRPs collaboration
– Co-location, Coordination, Collaboration
• Overall, positive feel! Great Expectations!!
Focus on DELIVERY!
Thank You!
