CGIAR is a global research partnership for a food secure future

Increased and more

gender-equitable income

Increased consumption of safe and

nutritious foods

Minimized adverse environmental effects

of increased RTB production

and processing

• 3.5 million cassava female

and male producers and workers increase incomes by 10% with higher proportion of women benefiting

• 50,000 small processing centers increase profitability by 20% through by-product development

• 6.5 million consumers

to reduce the risks associated with unsanitary and poorly processed cassava

• Water use reduced by 30%

and energy use by 20% in cassava starch processing plants, after re-design of key unit operations (rasping, drying)

• Discharge of processing waste into surface water eliminated

•Results-based management (RBM) key to give value for money in achieving outcomes

• Flagships and their theories of change create RBM framework

• Intermediate development outcomes (IDOs) and indicators guide delivery flagships

•Genetic gain for target traits and linked metrics guides next generation breeding

Piloting results-based management

Indicators for IDOs

The RTB business case: A collaborative

agenda with partners and stakeholders • Priority assessment: respond to major global trends, development

challenges and opportunities • Co-construct and implement flagships with partners • Work with partners to ensure outcomes as well as research products • Balanced portfolio including quick wins, and longer term research outputs • Action research to improve partnerships • Results-based management in achieving outcomes with partners

Theory of change • Women leading role in small cassava enterprises

• Value chain and enterprises drivers for technological change

• Gender disaggregated preferences for quality traits speeds adoption

Flagships and theory of change

• Significant health benefits by improving traditional gari fryers

• Gender equity with technological innovation – who will operate machinery?
