CGIAR Research Program on Dryland Agricultural Production Systems – Launch Meeting, Amman 21-23 May 2013
Title Inception Phase
• Groundwork for baseline characterization
• Workshops to set Research Priorities
Common Ground1) 21 Constraints2) 20 Outputs3) 16 Hypotheses4) 20 Outcomes
TitleIntermediate Development Outcomes
• Part of Theory of Change, Impact Pathway and Consortium’s results-based performance management system.
Results Based Management is a management philosophy and approach that emphasizes development results in planning, implementation, learning and reporting.
It focuses on improved performance that can be described and measured while helping individuals to plan, manage and learn more effectively.
• The CRP Intermediate Development Outcomes (IDOs) will play a pivotal role in the system, expressing the ambition of CRPs and providing the building blocks for Consortium-level achievement through the Strategic Results Framework (SRF).
CRP IDOs are meant to be:• informed by and have buy in from key stakeholders• integrated across CRPs to the extent possible• fully aligned with system level IDOs. • Completed by September 30, 2013 deadline of 30 September for as many CRPs as possible. • Composed of three 3-year cycles, i.e. they have ~10 year time lines
TitleFrom Launch Meeting in Amman (May 2012)7 IDOs from 20 Common Outcomes from Inception Workshops
The first 4 are on wellbeing and sustaining natural resource base:
1. More resilient livelihoods for vulnerable households in marginal areas.
2. More stable and higher per capita income for intensifiable households.
3. Women and children in vulnerable households have year round access to greater quantity and diversity of food sources.
4. More sustainable and equitable management of land and water resources in pastoral and agropastoral regions.
The rest relate to requirements for the first 4 to be realized 5. Better functioning markets underpinning intensification of rural
livelihoods. 6. More integrated, effective and connected service delivery institutions
underpinning resilience and system intensification. 7. Policy reform removing constraints and creating incentives for rural
households to engage in more sustainable practices that improve resilience and intensify production.
Impacts from IDOs1. More resilient livelihoods for vulnerable households in marginal areas.
2. More stable and higher per capita income for intensifiable households (those above an asset threshold that makes intensification a viable option).
3. Women and children in vulnerable households have year round access to greater quantity and diversity of food sources
4. More sustainable and equitable management of land and water resources in pastoral and agropastoral areas
5. Better functioning markets underpinning intensification of rural livelihoods
6. More integrated, effective and connected service delivery institutions underpinning resilience and system intensification
7. Policy reform removing constraints and incentivising rural households to engage in more sustainable practices that intensify and improve resilience and intensify production

ImpactWomen and children in vulnerable households have year round access to greater quantity and diversity of food sources
Outputs
• Diagnosis and identification of constraints and opportunities of local food systems leading to improved year round access to food and diversified diets
• Systematic research on interventions to address identified constraints and opportunities, leading to a matrix of tested interventions and delivery strategies associated with the contexts in which they work
OutcomeNARES and health sector organisations work together and adopt diagnostic and systematic research approaches to promoting and developing interventions to improve vulnerable women and children’s access to, and control of, more and more diverse food sources, throughout the year
Indicators
Dietary diversity: i)time concentration index of number of food groups and individual foods consumed by women and children in sample hh ii)proportion of women and children above threshold dietary diversity in target communities.

ImpactMore sustainable and equitable management of land and water resources in pastoral and agropastoral areas
Outputs
• Technologies, tools, methods, processes and approaches developed and tested for evidence-based ecosystem management
• Focus on negotiation support (amongst stakeholders) and governance models
OutcomeMultiple stakeholders (gender, age) in pastoral / agropastoral areas , use evidence-based ecosystem management, at community level in the governance of common and privately managed land and water resources
IndicatorsArea: i)ha and proportion of target area under governance arrangements meeting equity standards set a prioriPeople: ii)gender-disaggregated number of people and proportion of target population encompassed by land area in i)Use of outputs: number and size of communities adopting evidence based governance models developed by DSEffect: trends in NVDI over time for areas under and outside new governance models
ImpactBetter functioning markets underpin intensification of rural livelihoods
Outputs
– Modes of operation to lower transaction costs through development of assembly points and market hubs

Observations made by chair of Working Group on IDOs:• We needed to create new credible targets of impact for
the new IDOs• We were cautioned about having too many sites (10 was
seen as too many to implement at once)• Go slower and not try to be everywhere at once • We need more specifics on partnerships including their
roles in impact pathway• Integration with other CRPs is not fleshed out as much as
it could.
Intermediate Development Outcomes
Output Outcome Impact and Partnership: Lack of specificity on how we would get to outcome with partners
Target impacts for IDOs: Urgent need for a more credible job fixing target impacts for each IDO
