CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers and Bananas

Marc Schut presents an overview of Flagship Project 5 'Improved livelihoods at scale' of the CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers and Bananas (RTB), during the 18th Triennial Symposium of the International Society of Tropical Roots Crops (ISTRC) in October 2018.

O C T O B E R 2 0 1 8 Flagship Project 5: Improved livelihoods at scale MARC SCHUT • ISTRC ANNUAL MEETING
Flagship overview FP5 provides support to next and end users for scaling of RTB innovations from the farm to the community, the region, and beyond. It guides RTB scientists in the other flagships on how to better target research, design strategic youth and gender research, select partners and develop capacity for improving livelihoods at scale.
Dr Elisabetta Gotor CC5.1 – Foresight and impact assessment Dr Netsayi Mudege CC5.3 – Gender-equitable development & youth employment Prof. Cees Leeuwis CC5.4 – Scaling RTB agri-food systems innovations Dr Godfrey Taulya CC5.2 – Sustainable intensification and diversification Clusters and Cluster Leaders
FP 5 performance and visibility Our science performance: • 31 Publications in ISI Thompson journals • 14 PhD students (3 defend(ed) in 2018) • Special Issue “Science of Scaling” in Agricultural Systems Journal with 25 committed publications covering different CRPs and IAR4D centers Our resource mobilisation performance: • Successful fund raising: $20.9M • Proposals under review: $18.4M • Scaling of innovation is a hot topic, FP5 is a step ahead of the rest. High investment interest. Visibility and attention for Scaling of Innovation: • Symposium and panels during GFS Conference (Cape Town) and SDG Conference (Wageningen) • High-level panel on Scaling of Innovation during World Food Prize and ScaleUp Conference in 2018

Gender awareness and Cap Dev (CC5.3) • Strategic youth work: Literature review on youth studies and scaling (draft in progress) • 2 Documentary videos capturing youth’s experiences with seed entrepreneurship (Kenya) • From gender to more broad understanding of heterogeneity among end-users (typology work to better understand adoption behaviour of farmers) • In Vietnam, video engage young people on Gender Responsive research: Climate change and resilient food systems • Mixed methods data from Central Uganda collected between 2010- 2017 was used to build a case-study on young men and women’s aspirations and engagement in agriculture
Scaling Readiness: developing, implementing and monitoring evidence-based scaling strategies • Tested with pilot projects in CIP, Bioversity, IITA and CIAT • Used to review RTB Scaling Fund CNs and full proposals (2 criteria) • Used to develop evidence-based scaling strategies for funded Scaling Fund projects • Key indicators (innovation readiness, innovation use and scaling partner co-investment) validated (qualitatively) • High demand by partners for investment portfolio management Tools: Scaling Readiness (CC5.4)

• Scaling kick-off and project workshops in Ghana and Ethiopia (3S+), Nigeria (HQCP) and Uganda (SDSR- BXW) • Projects use Scaling Readiness to shape their Theory of Scaling • Scaling Fund does Research, Learning and Impact • 2nd round of Scaling Fund projects under development • Qualitative evidence that Scaling Readiness assessment works!
