West Africa Review & Planning workshop
Double-check current plans with the whole team Firm up research hypotheses Agree on some key elements of the design (e.g.
RCT) to test hypotheses Who should be part of the research teams? Send a team member to UER and UWR
(Augustine, Bonny?)
Mali group
Looking at what you developed yesterday, formulate (max) 2 research hypotheses that will help develop the (crop-soil-livestock-market-nutrition) concept note which help answer the AR research design hypotheses?
Plan activities for the next years that help answer these research hypotheses (i.e. research design, counterfactuals…) Be more specific about year 2 activities
Who should be part of the writing and of the research teams?
(If enough time) Who could we partner with?
Ghana groups
• INTEGRATION: Integrating technological components into SI systems confers more benefits to small holder farmers than single components
• ADOPTION: Integrating technological components into SI systems stimulates adoption compared to single components
• TRADE-OFF: Offering interventions tailored to the context specific conditions lowers environmental damage
• SEQUENCING: Right sequencing of integration of component technologies provides SI pathways
• SCALABILITY: Agricultural SI interventions tailored to local context specific conditions are scalable to other settings
